The Incredible Shrinking Sarah Palin

"I have had people who have sworn on a bible that they have had affairs with Todd or had affairs with me or one specific one was a masseuse that she massaged me when I was seven months pregnant and she could tell that I wasn't pregnant, hence, Trig was not my kid. And that resulted in this whole Trig truth or issue that I still deal with every day. I've had these liars out there trying to ruin my family and my reputation and my record. So I know what Herman Cain is going through."

Palin: You know, remember too, Sean, we have a distinct advantage going into the 2012 race that we did not have in '08. Obama finally has a record. Of course he did not have a record when he ran as a candidate in '08. He had voted present most of his political career. He was an unknown and just had a lot of hogwash rhetoric that he spewed about hope and change. And now we know what that hope and change represented, and it was socialist policies and they're not working. And that's why we see the joblessness and the home mortgage crisis that is really making Americans suffer. We see so many problems today that are a result of what Obama really represents. So we have that advantage today...

 

Hannity: That was my next question to you, because the Obama 2008 lofty rhetoric, big crowds, tried to at least portray himself as moderate. People ignored the warning signs, some of which you just mentioned. But I saw a man obsessed, obsessed with the concept of class warfare more so than I would argue any president in modern history. Is that what you saw?

 

Palin: I did. And you sounded that warning bell. Others tried to also. Again, being the second half of a team that was running against Obama, we did not do a good enough job, I believe, my ticket in bringing out what those differences were between constitutional conservatives and what Obama represented. But you, Sean, and others tried as hard as you could to get Americans to understand what it was that he represented. We missed the boat last go around. Let that not happen this time.

"You know the endorsement that I am most interested in is Ron Paul's, to tell you the truth. I don't agree with Ron Paul's foreign policies. ... But, his domestic spending issues are absolutely right on. He's the one that Americans needs to listen to when it comes to dealing in reality about this bankrupt path that we are on. So Ron Paul's endorsement, not saying he won't get the nomination, but in case he doesn't, who he chooses to endorse will give us a clear indication of who is on the right path with domestic spending that needs to be addressed."

"It’s odd," she said, wondering why the president’s Christmas card highlights his dog instead of traditions like "family, faith and freedom."

 

"Even stranger than that was his first year in office when the Christmas ornaments included Chairman Mao... People had to ask that it be removed because it was offensive." ...

 

Palin said the majority of Americans can appreciate the more traditional, "American foundational values illustrated and displayed on Christmas cards and on a Christmas tree." As for the Obama card, she replied, "It's just a different way of thinking coming out of the White House."

 I am pro-Tebow, and Tim Tebow, I'm still proud of him, he is in the platform that he has been graced with, that he's been blessed with to do positive things. And, you know, he is not ashamed of his savior, he's not ashamed of Jesus...  

What we could do, though, Eric, when we face and confront some of these atheists who just really want to rain on the parade and who knows for whatever reason they just don't want Christmas celebrated, they don't want us to talk about Christ's birth. Well, remember the old "Seinfeld" episode where Puddy was telling Elaine all about, I guess, his faith in Jesus, and Elaine punches him in the shoulder and says, don't you feel horrible that I don't believe, I am not a believer? Shouldn't you feel guilty? And Puddy looks at her and says, I'm not the one going to hell.

My family and I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I offer this to all because Christmas is a holiday for all, whether you are a Christian believer or not. The message of Christmas is full of hope, peace, joy, and the fellowship of all mankind; so I find it amazing that every year we hear more accounts of a ramped up "war on Christmas."
