On Tuesday night, Sarah Palin dropped by Bill OReillys show to discuss some recent comments by Laura Ingraham, as well as the approach the Romney/Ryan ticket should take in the home stretch of campaigning. Hammering home the argument that Mitt Romney needs to be more aggressive, Palin defined the election as a choice between free stuff or freedom.

Asked about Ingrahams remark that if the Republicans cant win this election, they should shut down the party, Palin, too, agreed that this is a election that should be working in Romneys favor. Rush Limbaugh similarly said the presidents reelection would signal the end of the GOP. The issue, she said, is that the message is getting across to voters. If you cant get your message through that filter of media, then were in a world of hurt, she said.

What Republicans are failing to do, she added, is explain that voters have a choice: Free stuff or freedom. You cannot have both. To that point, OReilly pondered whether its possible the countrys changed. With growing dependency on government programs, he said, perhaps voters will say they want the free stuff. That theyre willing to sacrifice freedom. Its possible that we are so far down that road, yes, Palin replied.

Then speaking more specifically about campaign strategy, OReilly questioned whether Romney should go after President Barack Obama in a more personal way. Whether he should use buzz words like incompetent, dangerous and socialist. Palin argued those arent buzz words theyre the truth. And yes, he should: He needs to be severely aggressive in his articulation.

During the convention, OReilly remarked that Clint Eastwood was the only speaker who get the president personally responsible for the state of the country. Its not about policies so much, its about him, OReilly said. Hes a hardcore fill-in-the-blank.
