Liberals Have Feared Sarah Palin All Along



The liberals have tried to drag her down with their unscrupulous attacks not only on her but her entire family. They have held nothing back. Throughout these brutal attacks Sarah Palin has held her head up high. She has managed to pick herself up and start running!  She is off to quite the new start.

Her new book announced just four months ago, "Going Rogue: An American Life," will be on shelves in time for Christmas. In fact, with a release date of Nov. 17, it'll be in stores by Thanksgiving that's instead of the originally scheduled spring release date. 

Harper, a division of HarperCollins, says it will print 1.5 million copies. That's a hefty print run the same as that for the fall's previous big political memoir, Ted Kennedy's "True Compass."

Not only has Sarah Palin shown success in writing a book she is also on the speaking engagement circuit. Her speeches it has been told command upwards of 100K to 300K per speech.

She recently spoke in Hong Kong at the CSLA Investors Forum. Simone Wheeler, head of communications for CLSA stated :

"What we look to do is invite our keynote speakers who we feel are opinion makers, who are newsworthy and who we feel our clients -- a very broad international client base -- would be interested in hearing from," Wheeler said Monday, noting that CLSA is a politically neutral, independent brokerage.

This is all so very contrary to the liberal Palin bashing that has continued well after the election.  We at speaknowamerica.org have always stated we thought she would be a force to be reckoned with and she seems to be proving us right.  This is much to the chagrin of others.

The media is mixed on the reporting of Sarah Palin. Here from the Boston Herald:

Sarah Palin’s upcoming memoir already has the makings of a bestseller! Due out Nov. 17, the book - which had been finished early so it could make it into stores ahead of the Christmas holiday shopping season - is already going great guns on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble’s Web site, reports Us Magazine . “Going Rogue: An American Life,” which became available for pre-order this week on Amazon.com, is even outselling “The Lost Symbol,” the latest novel from “Da Vinci Code” scribe Dan Brown .

Even the New York Times so often critical of Palin wrote in regards to her speech in Honk Kong

A number of people who heard the speech in a packed hotel ballroom, which was closed to the media, said Mrs. Palin spoke from notes for 90 minutes and that she was articulate, well-prepared and even compelling.

“The speech was wide-ranging, very balanced, and she beat all expectations,” said Doug A. Coulter, head of private equity in the Asia-Pacific region for LGT Capital Partners.

“She didn’t sound at all like a far-right-wing conservative. She seemed to be positioning herself as a libertarian or a small-c conservative,” he said, adding that she mentioned both Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. “She brought up both those names.”

A number of attendees thought Mrs. Palin, the former vice presidential candidate, was using the speech to begin to broaden her foreign policy credentials before making a run for the presidency in 2012.

“She’s definitely a serious future presidential candidate, and I understand why she plays so well in middle America,” said Mr. Coulter, a Canadian.

Time magazine wrote a partisan article Sept. 23 starting with "it was a hazy day in Hong Kong. It's unlikely that Sarah Palin could have gazed across the city's harbor, past the mountains of the New Territories, and spied mainland China in the distance. Secluded inside the Grand Hyatt hotel, behind a tight cordon of security and a sea of hobnobbing fund managers, she may not even have seen much of Hong Kong itself."  a clear reference to the liberal bashing about Palin seeing Russia from Alaska.

In an interview with ABC's Good Morning America, just prior to her resignation, Sarah Palin said "all options are on the table" she went on further to say "You know, politically speaking, if I die, I die. "(I) don't know what the future holds. I'm not gonna shut any door. Who knows what doors open. I can't predict what the next fish run's gonna look like down on the Nushagak (River in Alaska). So I certainly can't predict what's gonna happen in the next couple of years."

She added: "I don't need a title to be the one to usher in what it is that needs to be done in our state or our country."

Speculation about Palin's future plans have dominated many a political discussion since she stepped down from office July 3.

At the time even President Obama added his opinion about her stepping down "She has a fiercely loyal constituency within the Republican party and in the conservative movement," Obama said "But she says that this is something that is best for her family and I respect that."

Palin posted a Facebook message saying she is pursuing a "higher calling" of uniting Americans around conservative principles. She also slammed the mainstream media for failing to understand her decision was not about political ambitions but "about country."

It is far too early to really predict the possible plans of Sarah Palin. Although many in the GOP feel that her stepping down irreversibly hurt her future chances for office we believe as others do that she may very well be a force to reckon with. People when it comes to politics forgive and forget easily and Sarah Palin is an American girl, she is percieved as an average person like you and I and that comes with priceless value.  As she travels around speaking and gains even more popularity we predict that she will in fact become a face that the American people will relate too and be willing to believe in and trust.

Time will tell, our money is on Sarah!
