Palin Promotions

This week Sarah Palin was the topic when SarahNET Radio’s Kevin Scholla stopped by Women Patriots on Conservative Radio Network! Hosts Barbara and Brenda talk to Kevin about Governor Palin’s influence on the culture war, her patriotism, her incredible record of accomplishment, and much more.

Woman Who Knows Her Mind and Not Afraid to Speak it

Barbara and Brenda, the hosts of Women Patriots out of North Carolina and Indiana said about former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, “I love a woman who knows her mind and isn’t afraid to speak it,” in a 71-minute interview with Kevin Scholla, host of SarahNET Radio earlier this week. Scholla said he admires Gov. Palin because she is unfiltered and honest. He became a supporter months before she ran for Vice President. Gov. Palin and Scholla exchanged emails when she was pregnant with Trig. Scholla’s daughter was due two months after Trig. He discussed the Presidential race in those emails and told Gov. Palin he hoped McCain would pick her as his running mate. When that day came, Scholla went on to campaign for her, and like so many of us, wanted her to run for President in 2012 the night Obama won.

Genesis of SarahNET Radio

Scholla’s professional radio, TV, and writing backgrounds and his partnership with SarahNET.net were the genesis of SarahNET Radio, which was conceived “to give the real news on her,” and counter the steady stream of leftist media drivel. When Gov. Palin announced that she would not run for President on October 5, 2011, many shows had already aired. Scholla’s decision was immediate. The show must go on. “Gov. Palin’s values, ideas, and message” were not going to cease because she did not run in 2012.

Many Men Would Have Caved…

Scholla and the hosts discussed how politics have devolved into a battle to save the Constitution from leftists who want to subvert and destroy it. Scholla said, “Gov. Palin the true epitome of America,” and her enemies are jealous of her successes in all areas of her life. “I do this for my daughter. There is no better role model than Sarah Palin…she takes the shots and does not back down.” He continued, “if you look at the history of what she’s been through and interview her now versus ’06 and ’07, nothing’s changed, except maybe the millions of people who want to stand and have a picture with her.” He added that “many men would have caved.”

Gov. Palin for Everything the Left is Against

Scholla said he’d rather have an honest person disagree with him on nine out of 10 issues than flip-flop, go along to get along, engage in double-talk, and run to political talking points. He said the left hates Gov. Palin because “she is for everything this modern-day Democratic Party is against.” She is “for America, for life, for liberty, for freedom, for the Constitution, for personal responsibility, traditional values, for the Second Amendment.” The left loves RINOs, because they can easily be painted into a box with phony memes and destroyed. Gov. Palin is a polar opposite and offers actual alternatives and solutions.

The left loves to talk about Gov. Palin’s “irrelevancy.” Scholla had written a non-political article about the influence of sports on the Heaths’ lives and on Sarah as a young Heath daughter. It was besieged with comments bashing and insulting Gov. Palin as “a moron.” If she is so irrelevant, why did all these commenters come out of the woodwork?

The Real War on Women

One of the hosts said “the media went after her because they were scared. She is a strong woman. A Republican woman. She is a mother. You want to talk about women’s rights, they don’t want to have that conversation about a woman being appreciated for who she is and not what her body looks like.”

“If you are not a white Protestant male and you are a conservative, they freak out,” Scholla said. Ted Cruz and Ben Carson are experiencing the same thing; Herman Cain, and Mia Love went through it too. The Democratic Party behaves as if it owns you, he said. “When you have a woman who looks like Sarah Palin and has the abilities of Sarah Palin, they freak out,” because she can attract young people, women – that is their core constituency.

He said they don’t merely disagree with you, but “they hate you and go after you in a really weird, visceral way.”

The War on Conservatives

Brenda, Barbara, and Scholla spoke about the left’s attempts to silence conservative media such as Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and others.

Scholla then spoke about Gov. Palin’s ability to pick solid conservatives. While the RINOs were out having dinner with Obama, Palin-backed conservatives were standing with Rand Paul in a filibuster. She’s endorsed people from all different walks of life: ranchers, dentists, veterinarians, “and that’s the way it’s supposed to be,” he said. Obama uses far-left lawyers who may be book smart but have no common sense.

One of the hosts said, “I love Sarah. She tells the truth.” She contrasted Gov. Palin with Hillary Clinton who she described as “a lying sack of crap.” Clinton lied about Benghazi and was ultimately responsible for the deaths of four Americans.

On Obama’s Lack of Emotion for Americans…

Scholla said Obama has no emotion for Americans killed and cited the Boston terrorist attacks and Benghazi as examples. Not mentioned in the interview, but another glaring example would be Chris Kyle, who went forgotten by Obama, but whose funeral Gov. Palin attended, sacrificing her own birthday to do so. Scholla said Obama reads from a teleprompter and always must say ‘not all Muslims are bad, when America’s guts are ripped out’. He said the Democrats win because they’re always on the same page.

Conservatives will hold their noses and vote for a moderate, but moderates won’t support conservatives post-primary. Scholla cited McCain and others going to dinner with Obama, McCain being soft on Obama during the 2008 campaign while Gov. Palin called out his lack of accomplishments, lack of experience and nefarious associations. One of the hosts said Gov. Palin had more experience than Obama.

Liberals Only Care About Control

Scholla said the Democrats and liberals only care about control, not the groups they vociferously claim to protect. “They don’t appreciate what we have” as a country, he said, citing Obama’s apology tour at the beginning of his first term.

RINOs and Media Cling to Power

He spoke about the confluence of the guns and immigration issues as Boston came under attack from foreign terrorists. Scholla lauded Gov. Palin’s uncompromising position on the Second Amendment. He said Gov. Palin’s endorsements in the 2010 and 2012 races and beyond into this year and 2014 will force change in the Republican party. Scholla and the hosts spoke about leftist media reporting of Gov. Palin, how McCain and the establishment RINOs desperately want to hold on to power, how Palin-endorsed candidates such as Ted Cruz and Rand Paul focus on the Constitution, while the RINOs insult them and provide only sour grapes.

Scholla recounted how the media has twice covered satires on Gov. Palin as real news stories and how the left is obsessed with “green,” recycling, and earth day, but have a hatred of Christmas, guns, and large sugary drinks. He described how New York City – which wanted to ban the large drinks – is pushing failed students ahead, while good teachers are shackled by school administrations and their own unions. The “union dues go to advertising for Democrat candidates.”

Scholla and the hosts spoke about the leftist hate-fest on Gov. Palin, and men who do not defend her. The hosts spoke about the old “I can see Russia from my house” flap. Russia and Alaska are next to each other and as governor, Sarah Palin was receiving classified briefings. “She cannot have been governor and been stupid,” they said.

Scholla said, “people call her dumb because they have no dirt. Obama is not dumb. He knows exactly what he is doing. He wants to turn us to a European socialist nation.”

Leftist Hypocrisy

Scholla and the hosts spoke about leftist hypocrisy starting with the gaffes of both Quayle and Gore, and how leftists trawl Tea Party rallies looking for one nut to discredit the whole movement. Meanwhile, cities had to clean up huge messes from pro-marijuana and Occupy rallies, the latter being punctuated by rape, vandalism, and violence. They spoke about how the left exploits children to promote gun control following the Sandy Hook horror, but has nothing to say about Kermit Gosnell’s infanticides – snipping the spines of babies born in his botched abortions.

There has been a virtual media blackout on the Gosnell trial. “Gosnell is possibly the biggest serial killer in history,” Scholla said. He is not a doctor and often had his “interns” do the “procedures.” Scholla noted that Obama is a big proponent of partial birth abortion having voted for it numerous times. In the left’s world, it’s okay to post death wishes against Sarah but not Gosnell. We should be harsh on child molesters and murderers, and Scholla cited Gov. Palin’s position on Jerry Sandusky.

Keeping the Grassroots Involved…

The hosts said we need to keep grassroots involved and engaged to avert another catastrophe. Scholla said, “I’ve noticed in our movement, we’re all for a cause or candidate – as long as we’re getting all the credit.” The Left is a machine and gets things done. He said if our elected representatives “see that calls are not coming from us, they assume we’re for what they’re trying to push. You have to speak up and it’s easy to do online, with phone calls,” and so forth.

No More Politicians. We Want Real People….

One of the hosts, Barbara said she makes calls all the time to a North Carolina Senator, and never gets responses. Many others complained about this as well.

Scholla said politicians go to Washington and engage in power grabs. “It’s a cesspool of ‘do what I say and I’ll do this for you.’ You’re supposed to be a public servant – there to serve the people. Palin-endorsed Cruz has been good on all angles. It can be done. There is a lot of pressure there. Many Palin supporters would like to see her do something down the road.” She could run for Senate either in Alaska or Arizona or run for President, “but even if she doesn’t run, she still has that unique way of affecting culture that others do not. How many people have the following, websites, books, that she has?”

Scholla harkened back to Sen. Cruz saying his campaign “phones lit up like Christmas trees” when Gov. Palin endorsed him. The same thing happened with Sen. Fischer. Even for the ones who lost like Steelman, Kirk Adams, “the endorsement got the conversation going.”

The hosts spoke about the Indiana Senate race with Lugar and Mourdock and the Missouri race with Steelman and Akin, and the media traps Akin and Mourdock fell in. They also described how Lugar would not endorse Mourdock. “When conservatives win primary sour grapes come out,” Scholla said. He spoke about the Presidential debates with far left moderators and how it’s best to “call them out, so at least if you lose, you lose swinging.”

The hosts said they “don’t want smooth talking politicians.” Scholla said, “I don’t want a politician. I want a person.” The hosts agreed. No teleprompters, no canned speeches. Real people. But, Scholla noted, “as soon as someone speaks from the heart, they’re painted as ‘not a good politician.’” He said, “Gov. Palin’s real record is of: bi-partisanship, she stood up to big oil, able to work together, and actually produce. You’d be hard pressed to have have this information and believe the false narrative.”

Gov. Palin Running?

The hosts asked Scholla if he thought Gov. Palin is going to run for President in 2016.

“We got so emotionally invested in a possible run in 2012. I was able to take it; she was playing the media, driving the left absolutely bananas. She’s not doing that right now. She’s just doing her thing, and endorsing great candidates, helping potential candidates, calling Obama out for every move he makes. I’m not copping out. I don’t know. One moment, I feel – like when she put that video out – that she will run, and others – when she speaks highly of Rand Paul – I don’t. I know whether she runs or not, she will effect positive change. She will make the right decision one way or or the other, not only for her, but I think for the country, because she comes about decisions the right way – through prayer, common-sense…she is 49 years old. She’ll be there,” he said.

The hosts said “we do need her in the field to get the good people we need to run, then she should run herself.”

Reverend Lou Sheldon of the Traditional Values Coalition is the guest on The Palin Radio Update with Kevin Scholla! Sheldon started TVC over thirty years ago and his group is fighting harder than ever. Hear about the battle against ENDA and find out what other issues are most important in the country today. Sheldon tells Kevin which politicians in Washington are standing up for the American family. Sheldon also discusses Sarah Palin, calling her a ‘wonderful person’ who has found the truth and knows how to say it in a positive and rational manner. Also, Governor Plain and countless others Stand With Rand during and after Senator Paul’s historic filibuster. Plus, Willow Palin and two of her friends go to bat for those with special needs and Governor Palin shines at Southeastern University’s seventh annual leadership forum. Steel Resolve, our weekly commentary with Sarah Steelman is also featured. Steelman weighs in on Rand Paul’s bold move in DC.

History to Serve Gov. Palin Well. She Will be a “Great Idol”

Rev. Sheldon has been an enthusiastic supporter of Gov. Palin for years and he agrees with her on almost all fronts. “I just wish the state would have defended her better and that she would not have had to resign as governor, although those false accusations had to be cleared up and they were all cleared up. So, history will do her well. She’ll be a great idol.”

Scholla noted that when the accusations were made, they were front page news, but when Gov. Palin was cleared, it was buried if even mentioned. “Well, that’s the mentality and the DNA of the liberal press. They don’t want to tell the truth. They just want to tear down and be the prophets of doom. They cannot deal with the fact that someone has found the truth and is able to speak it in a rational and positive manner,” Rev. Sheldon said.

What caught Rev. Sheldon’s eye when Gov. Palin hit the scene and also when the false allegations were leveled was, “well basically she is just a wonderful, wonderful person in her own right. She is an outstanding mother and a quite committed and devoted wife. So this is why I think it is so important to understand. She had such huge crowds. I mean, she was drawing better than job McCain.” He continued, “I attended a lot of those rallies in different parts of the country, especially here in Southern California. She came into the huge stadium and we had 20-some-thousand people. Just jammed. And from experience I knew that I had to get there early, and I did.”

Scholla said Gov. Palin’s speeches still draw huge crowds clamoring to hear her commonsense conservative message. Her speeches at CPAC 2012 and most recently in Florida drew huge crowds. She is slated to speak at CPAC again this week.

Brief History of TVC

TVC was founded over 30 years ago in Orange County, CA because start-up churches could not use rented facilities such as schools for more than six months. Rev. Sheldon was instrumental in getting CA Senate Bill 521 passed, which lifted the 6-month limit provided their operations were conducted outside of teaching hours.

He moved on to other issues such as pro-life and the gay agenda. This took his organization into the early 1990s. Then, Rev. Sheldon went to Washington to take on national issues. He fought successfully to have Bible studies be permitted at schools which receive federal funding provided it is done outside instructional hours.

Rev. Sheldon recounted how Lyndon Baines Johnson vindictively pushed through a Senate bill in the 1950s barring 501 (c) 3s from speaking about elected officials. Johnson, a legislator at the time did this to get back at two brothers who said he was soft on communism. Rev. Sheldon is supporting House Bill 147 which would repeal that decades old law, giving churches the right to speak about political issues just as unions do.

While Rev. Sheldon is pleased about the conservative take-over of the US House of Representatives, we took some losses in 2012 and he maintains a guarded optimism for 2014. He is concerned about a California state legislation that proposes to strip churches of their non-profit status at the state level for hosting a Boy Scout troop. He thinks such legislation would violate the First Amendment, however, the leftists backing the bill have a super-majority. “These are the kind of issues we deal with on a day-to-day basis,” Rev. Sheldon said about the TVC.

TVC Uncovers Over $500 Million in Waste

Though fighting for pro-life and traditional marriage is within the Coalition’s purview, they also uncovered over $500 million in waste at the National Institutes of Health. He cited a grant to fund a study on how many drinks it takes for one New York City homosexual student to seduce another. The grant was $250 million per year for three years totaling $750 million. Rev. Sheldon is working with Paul Ryan to expose this waste. Money is needed to research cancer, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s Disease, he said.

The Battle Against ENDA

His daughter, Andrea Lafferty works for TVC and has been at the forefront of fighting the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). While the title suggests fairness and justice, the ENDA means a trans-gender could teach at any public school that receives federal money. The ENDA was defeated in 1994, 2006, and 2010, but has become an issue once more.

The TVC’s website is Traditional Values.

Founding Fathers, Gov. Palin on Faith, Morality, Constitution

Scholla quoted George Washington’s Farewell Address. “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.”

John Adams said, “this Constitution was written only four of religious and moral people. It is unfit for any other,” Rev. Sheldon added. “With all these social issues, it’s totally in the hands of the ‘any others.’”

Scholla said Gov. Palin endorsed great conservatives such as Ted Cruz, Ted Yoho, Deb Fischer and Paul Gosar. He asked Rev. Sheldon if more are needed. “Absolutely. If we do not have these kinds of people, then the wear and tear by the secular godless emphasis will continually come up. They believe in the ‘big lie’: the separation of church and state. Nowhere does our Constitution say that, so this is why we have to have more of the Marco Rubio’s and the Ted Cruz’s, and there’s a great guy in the House – Louie Gohmert and many others. He said Rep. Cotton the new Congressman from Arkansas is another example of a Constitutionally based conservative who also is spiritual principles-based.

Steel Resolve: I Stand With Rand

“Thank goodness for Sen. Rand Paul, a true patriot and statesman. It does my heart good as an American for someone who was elected to have enough passion and guts to standup and defend our precious Constitution,” Sarah Steelman said as she opened her Steel Resolve segment.

She continued, “Sen. Rand Paul drew attention to the fact that Pres. Obama was Unwilling to say ‘no’ to the use of drones for killing American citizens on American soil. I’ll say it again: ‘thank goodness for Sen. Paul’s willingness to do what every Senator Republican or Democrat should’ve done.’ He used the filibuster to not only bring attention to the issue, but have a public discussion about it on the floor of the United States Senate, which is so important to our ability to govern ourselves.”

Steelman went on, “transparency in government is what ensures our ability to hold our elected officials accountable. We have a lazy press and a president who conducts meetings in secret along with Congress. So it is absolutely refreshing for Sen. Rand Paul to take the floor of the Senate and fight for what is right.” She concluded, “he used his power as a member of the minority to get answers to questions, which is the way the filibuster is supposed to work. If every important issue was debated on the floor of the Senate with reasonable arguments presented and with every Senator seated in the chamber and listening, and participating our government might just be more effective.”

In describing his interview with Anita Finlay and John Smart, Kevin Scholla, host, SarahNET Radio wrote,

I recently had the privilege of being a guest on Finlay And Smart Talk, hosted by Anita Finlay and John Smart. Anita, best known for her time on The Young And The Restless, is also the author of a very popular book on Hillary Clinton. Though our political views differ, Anita is always very gracious and really, a wonderful person. We covered a myriad of issues while talking a great deal about Sarah Palin. I was originally scheduled to be on the program for the first half, but since our conversation was so lively, Anita and John kept me on for the entire episode. They didn’t even take any calls because our banter was non-stop. Nothing was off limits. We discuss the divide in the Republican party, the fiscal cliff, abortion, gay marriage, media bias, and much more. I think you will enjoy this spirited interview. It was an honor to be a guest on the show and to be able to speak about Governor Palin.

Gov. Palin: True Conservative

In this wide-ranging interview, Scholla said Democrats tend to rally behind their nominees, whereas Republicans do not and if a conservative wins nomination, he has to “kiss the ring of the Republican establishment.”

When asked about what constitutes a true conservative, Scholla said it’s not just fiscal, but the entire package. He said former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin typifies the “people we need and the phrase here is ‘common-sense conservative’….you look at a lot of the people backed by Gov. Palin – Ted Cruz, who’s just been elected to the U.S. Senate out of Texas really is going to become the leader of this movement.” He continued, “We have a Deb Fischer out of Nebraska – a rancher who came out of nowhere in the primaries to win the U.S. Senate seat. As far as re-elected, there’s Rep. Paul Gosar out of Arizona, someone to keep an eye on in Washington. Also, Jeff Flake, who was a Congressman and is now a U.S. Senator from Arizona.”

Who works for who?

He said most politicians only care about reelection and quoted Gov. Palin’s “polls are for strippers and cross-country skiers,” from her crony capitalism speech in Indianola, Iowa. Scholla said these public servants think we work for them largely because of voter apathy. “For every one person who cares so much about our country, there’s so many who have no idea of what is going on right under their noses.

Why Romney Lost

In discussing the 2012 election, Scholla said most Palinistas voted for Romney, but there was a general lack of enthusiasm for him. Scholla said many voters stayed home and many did not see enough of a difference between Romney and Obama. He cited Reagan’s Bold Colors speech and also said people were not voting for Romney as much as they were voting against Obama.

Scholla said Gov. Palin was kept out of the Republican Convention. He said she was like a rock star at CPAC and has a 95% name recognition. He said Romney was a good man surrounded by hacks who feel threatened by powerful women – hacks who had been around for 20 years. But, he acknowledged later on that Romney lost in part because “he has been on every side of every issue.”

Leftist, Elitist Hypocrisy with Women and Minorities

He spoke at length about the hypocrisy of Democrats who are for women and minorities – as long as said women and minorities are Democrats, but even then Democratic women are not safe. Finlay recounted being called a racist for supporting Hillary Clinton. He spoke also about the clash between conservatives and elitist Republicans typified by Charles Krauthammer and George Will – both of whom have said flippant things about Gov. Palin.

Bold Colors or New Party?

“Something has to give,” Scholla said outlining two options. The GOP going back to its roots as Ronald Reagan advocated over 37 years ago in his Bold Colors speech is one. The second option is a powerful national third party as Gov. Palin’s brother, Chuck Heath, Jr. advocated in a series of Facebook posts this week, which where picked up by Bloomberg News, Huffington Post, and WorldNet Daily. Scholla said if someone like Gov. Palin were to found and lead such a party, “you could see an election that could go 30%, 33%, 29%, something along those lines, where a third party could pull it off.”

Gov. Palin’s Relevance in the Future

On Gov. Palin’s relevance moving forward, Scholla said,

“We’ll find out and it will be her decision. I’m not one of those ‘Draft Sarah Palin’ people. I want her to do what she wants to do. Now…who was more disappointed than me when she said she wasn’t going to run in 2012? Not many. I really wanted her to run. I thought it was her chance for really being the opposite of the incumbent. That said, I respected her decision right away. Look, she has five children, two of them adults now, but still five kids. She has a lot to take care of and she also went through a lot – as you know – and continues to – with the way things are thrown at her – and not just her: her husband, her family, her parents. The way they are just – you know – just attacked all the time from the left, from the media.”

Finlay asked Scholla if he thought the reason Gov. Palin did not run was the mainstream media “irrevocably poisoning the well” for enough of the public that a Presidential run would have been impossible to win. Scholla responded:

“I don’t think so as far as it being irrevocable. Would she have won this past season? I don’t know. Was that a factor in her decision? I don’t know. But, America loves “the comeback kid” as you know and that’s another thing. After a while, you keep getting beat down as she does and she is still out there smiling and giving her perspective proudly and without trepidation – people say ‘now that I think about it…she’s been proven right on so many things that were laughed at when they were first said – death panels, things of that nature – but we’ll see where she goes, if she runs for President. A lot of people think she may run for Senate.”

On the debt, Scholla said that Republicans are going along to get along. Meanwhile, Gov. Palin said we went off the fiscal cliff already and it was just a matter of how hard the thud would be when we hit bottom.

Finlay said just as there are disgruntled conservatives who want a third party, there are disgruntled Democrats who similarly want one. But, both Finlay and Smart are moderate on social issues. They were horrified by Akins’ “legitimate rape” fiasco. They asked Scholla if he could vote for or support a fiscally conservative third party that was moderate on social issues. Scholla said that Sarah Palin and other prominent conservatives and Republicans told Akins to step down. Gov. Palin had endorsed Sarah Steelman, who was the far better candidate. Akins ran even though he had no chance of winning. He said most conservatives would not – and should not – accept the type of party Finlay and Smart proposed.

Dear SarahPAC Supporter,

Together, we made history this November! Our victory in the U.S. Senate race in Texas was a remarkable testament to the conservative grassroots.

We started out as underdogs in a long, competitive primary. But despite the odds being stacked against us, Governor Palin and SarahPAC showed daring leadership by endorsing my campaign.

The Governor’s vision and the support of patriots like you helped transform my long-shot candidacy into victory on election night.

The Washington Post called our success the “biggest upset of 2012.”

Thank you. While federal law prohibited any coordination between SarahPAC and my campaign, none of this success would have been possible without the outpouring of financial support, hard work, and word of mouth from conservative fighters like you. The Governor’s support and your constant encouragement played a critical part in our triumph.

As you know, I am not the first or the only candidate to benefit from Governor Palin and SarahPAC’s courageous support for conservatism. Senators Deb Fischer, Jeff Flake, Tim Scott, Marco Rubio, Kelly Ayotte, Rand Paul, and other common-sense conservatives are proof that Americans are ready to return to our nation’s founding principles.

I look forward to working alongside these and other strong conservatives to stand up to the big government bureaucracy that is entrenched in Washington, DC. Every American deserves the opportunity to build a better life for our children and grandchildren, and together we will fight for the conservative ideals of liberty and opportunity that made this country the greatest on Earth.

I am humbled and grateful for the continuing support of patriots like you.

Sincerely,

Senator Ted Cruz

Kevin Scholla host of The Palin Update will be a guest on Gennifer Flower’s radio show SEX, POWER & POLITICS tonight – November 11, 2012! They’ll be talking about Sarah Palin! Be sure to tune in around 10:15 pm ET! http://wgso.com/?page_id=24945

Kelly Hancock, fresh off of winning a State Senate seat in Texas, is the guest on The Palin Radio Update with Kevin Scholla. Hancock talks to Kevin about the great success enjoyed in The Lone Star State, something many other states are yearning for especially after the reelection of Barack Obama. Despite the Obama win, candidates endorsed by Sarah Palin fared quite well this past Tuesday. Ted Cruz, Deb Fischer, Jeff Flake, Orrin Hatch, Ted Yoho, and Paul Gosar will all head to Washington. American Grizzlies United also made its presence known. Hancock, and 42 other AGU candidates won on Election Day. Also, Governor Palin calls on all of us to not lose heart and to continue to fight for our exceptional country. Plus, SarahNET Radio’s Steel Resolve, our weekly commentary from Sarah Steelman. Steelman rails against the GOP for shunning Palin and blasts the NRSC for acting like Stepford Wives.

RINOs Lose, Reagan-Palin Conservatives Win

The 2012 election was a loss for the Republican establishment, the RINOs and the moderates. Reagan-Palin conservatives did very well. Gov. Palin endorsed 14 candidates in 2012 for the US Senate and House. Of the 14, eight were elected resulting in an overall success rate of 57.14%. Six of the eight successful candidates were endorsed during their primary seasons, resulting in a success rate of 75% for that subset. American Grizzlies United supported 63 down-ticket candidates and 43 of them won their elections. AGU’s success rate, therefore is 66.67% or 67% rounded up.

In his interview with Kevin Scholla, Hancock said we need to move forward and not over-focus on the losses. Though we did not take the Senate, that body has become more conservative with Palin endorsees Cruz, Flake, Hatch, and Fischer taking or retaining seats. In the House Gosar and Yoho, were two of Gov. Palin’s successes. With Gov. Palin’s support, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch defeated the Democrats’ attempt to recall them earlier this year. These results suggest that success lies in sticking with Reagan-Palin conservative principles.

NRSC’s Stepford Wives

Sarah Steelman in her segment, “Steel Resolve,” lambasted the National Republican Senatorial Committee for promoting “Stepford Wives” RINOs, almost all of whom lost.

Lt. Colonel Allen West visits The Palin Radio Update with Kevin Scholla to talk about his race in Florida as well as the battle for The White House. Hear Congressman West’s thoughts on Benghazi, the socialism and Marxism he sees in the Obama administration, and the Alinsky tactics being thrown at conservatives. Plus, West tells Kevin what he thinks of Sarah Palin. Also we get out the vote for Palin-powered candidates Ted Cruz, Dan Bongino, Deb Fischer, Jeff Flake, Richard Mourdock, Orrin Hatch, Mia Love, Paul Gosar, and Ted Yoho. All this and SarahNET Radio’s Steel Resolve, our weekly commentary from Sarah Steelman.

West Campaign Doing Well

Rep. West is running for re-election in his FL-18 Congressional seat. The American Grizzlies General Election candidate is leading by 12 points in pre-election polling and early voting. Rep. West is still welcoming volunteers and donations and invited listeners to visit his website to obtain more information. He said volunteers have traveled from neighboring states and even far-flung states like New York, Connecticut, and Alaska to help his campaign.

Obama Vulnerable in Florida

Rep. West has been supporting the Romney-Ryan campaign and said the only part of Florida Obama may carry is south Florida. But, with high unemployment, leading the nation in foreclosures, a Jewish community not happy with Obama’s relationship with Israel, and talk of Benghazi on the street, he is vulnerable in south Florida as well.

Obama’s Dangerous “Look the Other Way” Foreign Policy

Rep. West said the Benghazi scandal is the worst Presidential scandal in American history. “Watergate was just a bungled burglary,” yet Nixon had to resign. He said if Obama was a Republican, the media would have been covering Benghazi non-stop and he likely would have been impeached, even with the election looming so close. “This cannot be the new normal – that we lose an Ambassador – which has not happened since the Carter administration, a State Department worker, and two former Navy SEALS – and the President doesn’t want to answer it,” he said. Rep. West said the Obama administration lied and misled the American public about the attack being carried out over a YouTube video, meanwhile no one knows where attackers are.

“We have gone from ‘peace through strength,’ which was the Reagan maxim to ‘weakness is provocative, lead from behind,’” Rep. West said about our dangerous “look the other way” foreign policy. He said China’s blue-water navy is expanding, a Russian submarine was in the Gulf of Mexico undetected for months, and the “Middle East is catching fire.” He continued, “you either win a war or you lose it.” He said “on the 11th anniversary of September 11th for countless embassies to be attacked, have our flags ripped down and radical Islamic flags raised over our embassies is an act of war, and we don’t have the type of President to lead and show resolve.” Rep. West harkened back to Obama’s appeasement tour of the Middle East early in his term.

Gov. Palin Exceptional, True Constitutional Conservative

Scholla asked Rep. West his thoughts on former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin who several times said that the former Lt. Col. would make a good Vice Presidential candidate before Paul Ryan was picked. Gov. Palin also endorsed the current Congressman in his 2010 run.

“I think Gov. Palin is an exceptional woman. She really is indicative of a true constitutional conservative. I think that she has a voice that has to be reckoned with as we continue to grow this conservative movement in the United States of America – to restore our republic. I don’t know where she wants to take her future, but I’ll tell you what – she is a key player, and I am just very humbled and honored that she considers me in such high regard. And, I really was just floored to have been able to meet her back last year at Rolling Thunder when we got the chance to meet and take a couple of photos.”

West on the Issues

Shifting back to his own race, Rep. West said, “my opponent doesn’t stand for anything, and the only thing he is running on is to hate me.” He said we cannot continue down the path of 1.6% GDP growth and he said the right tax policies affect that. Earlier, Rep. West said ObamaCare is already hurting Florida seniors via hospitals being fined for multiple visits within 30 days and doctors deciding to no longer treat seniors. He said many regulations which strangle small businesses and community banks need to be repealed and ObamaCare needs to be repealed and replaced with a market-based alternative. He advocates developing all of our energy resources, stopping Obama’s “War on Coal,” building the Keystone XL pipeline, developing Alaskan fields and natural gas deposits, and renewables.

He said “renewables and green energy cannot be the sole focus, and that is where the crony capitalism comes in.” He said sequestration must be allowed to go through. He said we must have the military capability to deal with enemy combatant guerrillas and “high-end belligerents” like Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran.

He said today’s Democratic Party is not the party of Roosevelt and Kennedy; it’s the party of Marx and Lenin. Scholla and West discussed the Alinsky tactics and divisiveness by groups that the party uses to achieve its objectives. Rep. West said the Democrats play by Alinksy’s Rules for Radicals we need to use the same playbook against them.

Palin-Powered Candidates

Scholla went on to discuss Gov. Palin’s endorsed candidates, all of whom he interviewed. They are archived at SarahNET Radio, US for Palin, and the American Grizzlies United / Organize4Palin State System.

Sarah Steelman on the Cost of Freedom

Sarah Steelman said during her Steel Resolve segment that Braveheart is one of her “favorite movies, because it is about the cost of becoming free.”

“One of the most excruciating and emotional scenes in the movie is when the English are torturing William Wallace for leading the Scottish Rebellion, against the Scottish nobles and the English. The English hanged, racked, and disemboweled Wallace. While he is laying in the rack being stretched apart, through the agony of this horrific pain, he screams out with every breath left in him, one word. That word was, ‘freedom,’” Steelman said.

She continued,

“History proves that the desire to be free is a powerful force. The yearning to remain free is the motivating force behind this election. Many people have asked me, ‘how are we less free now?’ A government that over-regulates takes away our freedom. It’s that simple. Yes, the economy and jobs are important to all of us, but the heart of the economic argument is the case for freedom. Americans want to chase their own dreams, pursue their own happiness, whatever that may be. Freedom is about choosing your own path to achieve your goals.”

“This election offers two futures for America,” Steelman said in her closing statement.

“Gov. Romney understands that Americans want to be free and the power of government must be limited. President Obama believes the government should be bigger and more powerful and can make better decisions about your life than you. This Election Day, please remember all the generations of men and women who sacrificed their lives for America. Protect this beautiful, God-given gift to each one of us: freedom. Make your vote count. This Election Day, choose freedom.”
