Star power: Palin to keynote big congressional GOP fundraiser
posted at 4:56 pm on March 16, 2009 by Allahpundit
Says NBC, “If there was any doubt whom the Republican Party sees as its biggest fundraiser in the post-Bush era, this news should probably end it.” They needed something strong to help wash the taste of Michael Steele’s blunders out of the base’s mouth, and this is about as strong as it gets.
Looks like Gov. Sarah Palin will continue to have a future as a Republican fundraiser. Palin will deliver the keynote address at the June 8 Senate-House Dinner in Washington, D.C. The annual dinner is a fundraiser for the Republican Party’s congressional re-election efforts.
Here’s a statement from the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas:
“Governor Palin has quickly emerged as one of the most popular and recognizable faces in the Republican Party, and we are honored to have her deliver the keynote address at the Senate-House dinner. As a proven leader in her home state of Alaska, Gov. Palin represents a breath of fresh air from the business-as-usual crowd in Washington, and is one of our party’s up-and-coming young governors who will play a critical role in our re-building efforts in the years to come. Last fall, she electrified and energized crowds across the country, and we expect she will generate a similar amount of enthusiasm at this spring’s dinner.”
A lot of powerful people will owe her favors come 2012 if the fundraising’s strong. Question: Given her popularity and money potential with grassroots conservatives, how come Palin’s name wasn’t floated for RNC chair last year? Granted, she’s busy running Alaska, but so what? Mel Martinez was busy with the Senate when he became chair in 2007. The answer then was to give him a co-chair who could handle day to day operations while Martinez served as a public face and fundraiser for the Committee. Palin would probably do gangbusters business in the same capacity. I can only assume she was reluctant to consider it this time around because it would look unseemly to divide her attention while Alaska deals with the recession, but if she’s reelected next year and the economy comes back, she’d be a dynamite prospect to succeed Steele in 2010.
Update: Another benefit to being chair, needless to say, is forming relationships with party movers and shakers at the state level, a useful thing to have for someone planning a national run down the road.

I love how Sarah is standing strong and supporting Bristol and Tripp. Many women I know admire Sarah for this.
sarahpalinfan99 on March 16, 2009 at 11:34 PM
Oh I love how teen pregnancy is now the far-right’s new ideal. I am so happy we are setting the example that the left should follow. Raise ignorant children who get knocked up.
Poptech on March 16, 2009 at 11:38 PM
First of all, I am not “far right” in my political views and neither is Sarah. No one is saying that teen pregnancy is an “ideal.” It happens sometimes and you have to deal with it.
The Palins are setting a good example of a loving family that supports each other in rough and challenging times. A good family will not abandon or turn from you other during a crisis. I have seen many teen mothers who turn their lives around and go on to live successful, productive lives and do a fine job of raising their children (including in my own family). It is a hard road but not impossible to overcome especially with a good support system like Bristol and Tripp have.
It is easy to be judgmental and throw stones at girls in Bristol’s situation as many people are prone to do but it does nothing to help with the situation.
sarahpalinfan99 on March 17, 2009 at 12:03 AM
GOP Platform for 2012 – Teen pregnancy!!!! YEEEEHAW!!!
The Palin’s are a good example of how not to raise a kid.
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 12:06 AM
Private school education, yeeeehaw. Poptech is a good example of how a total ignoramus can graduate from public school.
Dude/dudette. Either you’re a total fool, or you’re just pretending. Either way, the effect is the same.

Keynote address, “How to raise Oil Taxes“
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 12:15 AM
I hate to admit this but Poptech loathes Sarah Palin as much as I loathe the Messiah.
technopeasant on March 17, 2009 at 12:19 AM
“I went to Private School but nice try with the slam even if it is dumb as hell.”
Well, you could continue to discredit whatever school you attended by repeatedly spouting your stupidity, or you could, you know, actually address an issue, like a few things I pointed out before:
“Inner-city single parent rates are pushing 80%. Is it that wicked right-wing religious abstinence-only nonsense that’s causing this? Is it the lack of access to abortion clinics?”
Heck, I went to public school most of my life. But still, somehow, I didn’t end up as totally stupid as you are. (I’d blame it on genetics, but I wouldn’t want to insult your parents.)
notropis on March 17, 2009 at 12:19 AM
So, when oil prices are nearing $100/bbl, she decides to look ahead to when the prices might drop substantially, and that proves that she’s, what, liberal? stupid?
Actually, she was one of the few people, when the price of oil was spiking, to plan for the fact that it was going to drop again.
Most lefties thought it’d hit $200/bbl and stay up there.
Damn is she stupid.
Check the price of oil today, if you care.
notropis on March 17, 2009 at 12:24 AM
Teen pregnancy is directly related to the intelligence of the teenager. So maybe it is genetic?
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 12:25 AM
Plan by jacking up oil taxes? ROFLMAO!
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 12:26 AM
Isn’t interesting when Poptech or benny emerge, the post count on the thread starts to dramatically increase? I was a little dismayed when I came home from work this afternoon and saw we were still at 2 pages for a Palin thread. Now it’s picking up, up to three pages!!

“Teen pregnancy is directly related to the intelligence of the teenager. So maybe it is genetic?”
No, but I’m thinking reading comprehension is.

Wow, you’re kidding. And here all this time I thought pregnancy was related to hormones. Does this mean that only intelligent people can get pregnant? Or only non-intelligent people?

So the kid made a mistake of passion, made the right decision of the outcome with a highly supportive family and we’re supposed to villify her. I think not. Get over your vindictive self, you come across as an arse supremo.
goat on March 17, 2009 at 12:41 AM
Poptech must have had an unwed teen mother then according to its logic.
goat on March 17, 2009 at 12:44 AM
“ROFLMAO!!! Oh the it hurts… LMAO!”
Being brainless, I would have thought, would have prevented you from “hurting.”
So, you figure the 84% of moms in Detroit who are single, were all duped by Sarah Palin? Think they are Republicans? Think they all stupidly believed in “abstinence only” education? Think they just couldn’t find an abortion clinic, or afford it, due to Chimpy McHitlerburton’s policies?
Or do you really not give a flying EFF about these folks, as long as you can fling your feces at Palin?
(Don’t answer. I already know.)
notropis on March 17, 2009 at 12:44 AM
Only intelligent people do not get pregnant as a teenager.
Maybe they can be taught the Bristol method? ROFLMAO!
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 12:50 AM
We don’t need any sacrificial lambs. The presidency only comes around once every four years, and you always take your best shot. At this point, that’s Sarah Palin. By 2012, we may have moved on to someone else, but we sure won’t put up someone we expect to lose.
As for Palin, I think it would be huge mistake on her part to run again as VP, or skip 2012 in hopes of 2016 or 2020. 2012 will be her best shot. If she fails then, we probably move on to someone else. But if she sits it out, I think the public will move on without her in 2016.
That said, I think 2012 will be her year.
ThereGoesTheNeighborhood on March 17, 2009 at 12:53 AM
I love the so called women who identify with Bristol Palin, I can hear them now… “Bristol, she is dumb like me! I want to vote for her mom who never taught her about birth control either.”.
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 12:53 AM
“Or do you really not give a flying EFF about these folks”
Well, you answered that one, several times over.
Guess when you’re really fat and gay and not even your left hand likes you, you can cackle over Bristol:
“ROFLMAOSCOOMNADMK”
Huhuhuhuhuhuh. Huh huh huh huuuuuuh.
Somewhere, your caregiver should be telling you to go to bed. God are you stupid. I hate to say that, but, well, I got no choice: God are you stupid.
notropis on March 17, 2009 at 12:56 AM
Well since I have a super hot ex Eagle’s cheerleader for my lady, I will go to bed with her instead of my hand.
But I think you are right, we should definitely use the Bristol Palin method of how to get knocked up for teens.
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 12:58 AM
Sounds like your mom was an unwed teen mom by your logic because your are clearly an idiot.
goat on March 17, 2009 at 12:59 AM
No my mom was intelligent and was taught about birth control. She did not get pregnant until after she graduated college (she only attended one unlike Sarah) and was married to my father.
Yeah I am clearly the idiot for not endorsing the teenage prego Bristol and the new conservative movement of “getting them knocked up early is the way to go”.
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 1:01 AM
Right on cue with the pretend resume and stupid insults.
So I guess Track is also a disappointment? After all, you didn’t say Bristol was a good example of how not to raise a kid, you said the Palins are a good example. So that must apply to all the Palin children. Track, Piper and Trig are all delinquents?
If one pregnant teenage daughter is enough to condemn an entire family, then there are a lot of condemned families in this country.
But we all know that the only reason you’re so exercised about Bristol Palin’s pregnancy is for the excuse to bash Sarah Palin.
Wipe the spittle off your lips and up your meds.
ThereGoesTheNeighborhood on March 17, 2009 at 1:02 AM
“Well since I have a super hot ex Eagle’s cheerleader for my lady, I will go to bed with her instead of my hand.”
Damn, I almost signed off before getting the best laugh of the night.
Your fantasies are wonderful, and probably healthy, bur your only mistake is when you try to apply them outside your own bedroom.
“ex Eagles cheerleader for [your] lady.”
And you want to fault Bristol Palin for her lack of understanding of reality.
Go get a job.
notropis on March 17, 2009 at 1:03 AM
I don’t think they practiced abstinence-only education. Bristol Palin apparently called it “unrealistic.” So, a) she agrees with you, and b) it looks like you’re both wrong.
ThereGoesTheNeighborhood on March 17, 2009 at 1:05 AM
It is enough to condemn them as stupid, especially when the right-wing fanatics are trying to make her out to be some conservative leader. Yeah I agree there are a lot of stupid families in this country.
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 1:06 AM
Poptech, you completely miss the point we don’t agree with teen pregnancy we applaud her for making the courageous move to have the child instead of killing it in the womb. You don’t know if she used contraception or not and at her age there is a high chance of failure. The only and way to avoid teen pregnancy and disease is through abstinance but passion can over rule even the best of education.
goat on March 17, 2009 at 1:06 AM
“No my mom was intelligent and was taught about birth control. She did not get pregnant until after she graduated college”
And all them folks who wasn’t stupid enough to be ruled by the trailer trash Palins never got pregnant, did they?
Detroit’s unwed pregnancy rate isn’t 84%, is it? LA’s isn’t 78%, is it? Trenton, New Jersey’s, isn’t 89%, is it?
No, the only kid that ever got pregnant out of wedlock was that stupid Palin kid. And that was her mother’s fault, for being a narrow-minded harridan bitch. And her father’s, for being an illiterate snow-machine-driving rube.
notropis on March 17, 2009 at 1:09 AM
Uh, condoms are pretty effective.
No I know the message teenage pregnancy is good so long as you don’t abort! We need to spread this message so more teens can be like Bristol!!! Just think if all kids knew how accepting everyone will be because she did not have an abortion then go for it!!!
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 1:11 AM
She’s not running in 2012. Being RNC chair for two years would be a great way to keep up national exposure and make friends with the state pols she’ll need for a future run.

“Just think if all kids knew how accepting everyone will be because she did not have an abortion then go for it!!!”
Well, even though you’ve ignored it, what 3, 4, 5 times already, I’ll still dump it once more.
The single mother rate in Detroit is 84%. In LA, it’s 76%. In Newark, it’s almost 90%.
Figure those high numbers are due to Sarah Palin, George Bush, abstinence education, or lack of abortion clinics?
Or are they just fine.
Because those are your choices.
notropis on March 17, 2009 at 1:15 AM
WTF are you talking about? What does any of that have to do with the Palins? How does any of that change the fact that the Palin’s were unable to teach their teenager not to have sex. Bristol is as dumb as they come and the Palins a bad example for America.
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 1:17 AM
“the Palin’s were unable to teach their teenager not to have sex.”
So you’re the big proponent of abstinence?
Well, I guess I was right about your infantile Eagles cheerleaders fantasies.
Dude. Go to bed before you embarrass yourself further.
notropis on March 17, 2009 at 1:19 AM
Okay Poptech, we know you are nothing but a jackass and completely miss the point. You can’t argue your point so your only alternative is to attack a teenage girl that made a mistake of passion. You are a jerk plain and simple. It takes two to tango do you not put any responsibililty on Levi? He will be paying child support no matter what.
goat on March 17, 2009 at 1:21 AM

heshtesh on March 17, 2009 at 1:21 AM
You are the one who keeps bringing up absitence, I guess it didn’t work so well. They should of taught her how condoms worked.
I can promise you it is not a fantasy. Come to Atlantic City, I will prove it to you.
You mean embarrass the Palintologists, but it is so easy.
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 1:22 AM
What are conservatives politically correct now? Oh that’s right can’t say it like it is – Bristol is dumb as a rock, after Levi got what he wanted he dumped her fat ass. Looks like they cannot even teach her how to pick decent men (boys). I am so glad the whole Bristol fiasco went from bad to worse and the Palin cheerleaders just spin and spin.
“Conservatives, the party of teenage pregnancy and child support.”
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 1:26 AM
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 1:22 AM
Do you place no responsibility on the father Levi? Conservatives don’t advocate teen pregnancy and never have. Sarah Palin is not against contraception but how many teens follow what their parents teach or advise them to do, not many. The kids messed up and Bristol made a choice for life and we applaud her for that not for having unprotected teen sex and getting pregnant. You are missing the point and just being a stupid jerk in the process.
goat on March 17, 2009 at 1:29 AM
Sarah Palin agrees with you. She even believes that condom usage should be taught in school. Too bad Bristol didn’t listen to her mother, but this stuff happens.
Jim62sch on March 17, 2009 at 1:31 AM
She’s not running in 2012. I’ll bet you.

“The choice of life” ROFLMAO! I could not even imagine the conservative media circus if Obama had a teenage daughter who got pregnant. The hypocrissy would be epic. Abortion only voters need to get a life instead of applauding the life choice. Bristol has effectively ruined whatever chance she wanted to have at a normal life and it is all because she is dumb as a brick. But you don’t really care about her life just your single issue cause. It is sad and pathetic.
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 1:33 AM
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 1:26 AM
What, are you of the opinion that the father bears no responsibility and shouldn’t pay child support? I always considered it my responsibility to carry the condom and I was quite wild in my early rocker days.
goat on March 17, 2009 at 1:35 AM
Man, I hope she does not run we do not need any more dumb candidates who will make it eight years of Obama.

notropis on March 17, 2009 at 1:35 AM
Only women can get pregnant, they ultimately bare the most responsibility. And considering this is Sarah “the geniuses” daughter, Bristol should know this. Child support is after the fact. The conservative movement is supposed to be about personal responsibility and promoting family values. Talk about hypocrisy. ROFLMAO!!!!
The reality is she is getting support from people who are dumb like her.

Many single moms go on to have happy fulfilling lives, is it not normal human function to have and raise children? You are making a massive fool of yourself and the funny part is you don’t even realize it.
goat on March 17, 2009 at 1:39 AM
Answer what? WTF are you talking about? This has nothing to do with Bristol getting pregnant or Sarah being unable to educate her daughter. If anything high single mother rates would mean that many choose not to have abortions. LMAO, but Bristol is not getting married and is now part of the Alaska’s single mother statistics.
Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 1:42 AM

Fox News: Palin didn’t know Africa was a continent
Shithead, when did you go to school? ‘Cause Palin went to college when I did, and at the same sorts of podunk universities that I attended. Think I, or Sarah Palin, or any of our compatriots could not have known quite a bit about Africa?
Then you’re an ignoramus. Sorry, but that’s what you are.
It’d be like saying that someone who was in college in 1968 didn’t know that Asia was a continent and that Viet Nam, Cambodia and Laos were countries in Southeast Asia.
Even our podunk colleges had demonstrations calling for divestment in Krugerrands and Ray Charles should boycott Sun City and fair trade coffee from Uganda.
But, totally clueless as you are, you’re willing to believe that someone who was pulling down a 3.5-4.0 gpa at a podunk college could be oblivious to the fact that Africa has more than one country.
Quick, Poptech, how many African countries have you actually visited?

You obviously have not talked with many college graduates lately. I had a conversation with one a few months back who did not know where San Diego was. It is not hard to believe Sarah did not know Africa was a continent. It doesn’t look could for the “I’m dumb like Sarah” supporters.

Seriously, if you really want to use your brain, stop and think about the facts that:

The highest rates of single parenthood occur in the cities with the highest proportions of Democratic voters.
So, if you want to play your juvenile Palin nonsense, then play it, and when you’re done, be ready to think about why the reality is that all the things the Republicans say are happening and are bad are all happening in places where the Democrats have held sway for most of a half-century.

That does not mean she did not help run that business as I have read many reports that she was/is very involved in it, more than Barack can say.

Um, no it was her husband’s business. Obama being unqualified does not make Palin any more qualified. Talk about a sad pathetic argument. Romney makes her look like little girl playing politics.

Then how do you explain your rhetoric tearing down a conservative reformer based on the actions of their teen child. I am guessing from your rhetoric and inane talking points that you are a Paulian astroturfer.

Poptech on March 17, 2009 at 2:30 AM
Let’s be straight:
I like Sarah Palin.
She’s done an incredible job of taking on an oil-based kleptocracy, wrestling it from the hands of an entrenched Washinngton cabal, reforming state rules and regulations, and re-negotiating treaties with foriegn nations and domestic energy interests. That ought to be enough to earn her the respect of the reformist crowd.
Unfortunately, she made the mistake of being a Republican woman. That’s only slightly less bad than being a Republican ethnic person (fill in your favorite ethnicity.)
If someone can show me how her daughter’s sex life would affect her ability to be Commander-In-Chief, or Leader of the Free World, or even person throwing out the ceremonial first baseball of the Yankees’ season — please, feel free.
Poptech, take first swing.
Otherwise, stfu, and gtfa.

Alaska also has a substantial reserve fund in case of hard time, I figure that is something a libertarian conservative would like.
