For all her 2012 denials, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is sure sounding like a presidential candidate in her fundraising emails.

Palin (R) asks supporters for up to $5,000 in donations, and anything over $100 gets a free, signed copy of "Going Rogue."

She says Ronald Reagan "showed us the way" and "charted the course for us," and goes on to quote C.S. Lewis:

C. S. Lewis once wrote: "We all want progress, but if you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road." We need to get back on the right road. In order to progress, we must return to our founding principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and strong national defense.

Palin says she'll help commonsense candidates "regardless of party" and asks for fundraising help with a peppy message:

"We won't let anyone tell us to sit down and shut up. We're going to stand up, stand together, and fight for what's right!"

Palin's full email after the jump.


Dear Friends,

There are so many fundamental decisions that must be made in America to move us forward as a free, safe, and patriotic nation! I'm thankful tonight for what feels like a new beginning as we seize opportunities to help put America on the right path.

It's November 16th, and I've finished my book. I've told my story of how I got to where I am, and now I'm eager to move forward. And I want you to join me on the road ahead!

Our nation is at a critical crossroads, but the way forward is clear. Ronald Reagan showed us the way. He entered office during an economic recession even worse than our current one, but he left office after overseeing the largest peacetime economic expansion in American history. His policies worked! He charted the course for us.

C. S. Lewis once wrote: "We all want progress, but if you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road." We need to get back on the right road. In order to progress, we must return to our founding principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and strong national defense.

Her answer? "I've read all of them, Goofy!" Also too.

Since she admires Ronald Reagan so much, someone should ask her about Reagan's First Commandment:  Speak No Ill of Other Republicans.

One presumes that includes Dede Scozzafava.

That's one way to generate sales for her book.

You mean you'll tell Democrats to shut up and sing?

She's turned into an televangelist. I think she's a mix of Kenneth Copeland and Gene Scott. Maybe Grassley will investigate.

This doesn't make any sense. A lot of the evangelicals I've met hate CS Lewis about as much as they hate JK Rowling and Philip Pullman. And for equally, if not stupider reasons.

Notice she says people get the book FOR any donation of $100 or more. Sounds like a sale. Does that mean she gets to keep the money? Hell even if she's not supposed to keep the money I'll lay odds that that's how it all works out. Sarah Palin is all about the money.
Watch her kid (Tupperware or Kippersnack or whatever silly name she made up) runs for office. The kid couldn't be dumber than Moms.

She's on a milk run...milking her following for as much cash as she can before her light goes out.
