Moved on when Sarah said she was not running. Always willing to back up and listen (then decide) should Sarah change her mind. Thinking, this time though, Sarah will wait and not run, based on Sarah’s words of not running (imho), but have been wrong before.

Great analysis. Oh how I hope it plays out this way. If it does, she is absolutely brilliant in her strategy. I too remember hearing Breitbart mention he and Bannon were "working on something." It may turn out that Corruption is going to be the central theme of this election and, as you say, she'll be in the catbird seat.

Corruption is Cap Letter Title on the Board and everything else is below - our economy woes, lack of jobs due to excessive regulation and taxation, culture wars, the Cloward-Piven welfare scam, ACORN, unions, the state of our public schools, lobbyists, voter fraud, - you name it.

We'll see. . keep praying everyone. . . We the People. .

Since when is evaluating a situation - in one’s OWN TIME - considered something to laugh about? Do you prefer people who can be pressured into making a decision? If so, you aren’t looking for a leader but a someone who leads by the finger in the wind.

I thought for sure you would have a better grasp on the things of God. Since when do they make sense to a human mind/human thinking?

Christians hoped that Palin would feel lead of God to challenge the corruption but she did not.

When you can tell everyone how God works - get back to us. In the meantime, don't say she did not. God knows what will happen tomorrow and may not have wanted Sarah apart of it - face it, you or anyone just doesn't know!

There are fair weather voters, as we know. As there are flip flop politicians, so are voters. Gov Palin will always be the best patriot in the political arena - her record shows that.

If she did reconsider, she could add “indecisive” to her resume.

Wrong. "unconventional".

I don’t think Palin wants to do that.

She doesn't do things according to what 'you think'.

Not credible.

Wrong, again. It's 'not political'.

Look pnsn, I believe you are more intelligent than most that have responded to my post. First, I did not say Palin was a laughing stock ....NOT BY CONSERVATIVES (she’s always been a laughing stock by liberals...do YOU dispute with that??) But if she suddenly decided....oops, I made an error, and now throws her hat in the ring, she WILL become a laughingstock in conservative circles.

I wrote a letter/post to Gov Palin which sums up my position completely. I was behind Gov Palin...completely and totally; until 07/04/2011. It was during the organization of her appearance, in Iowa, that my doubts started creeping in. The treatment of Christine O’Donnell and the ‘wishy-washy’ decisions regarding her (she was invited, then disinvited, then invited, THEN disinvited) that it became apparent that this woman was NOT running.

I began to go back and research just who I’d been supporting and what I found is Palin knew FULL WELL IN JUNE that she was not running. Bristol spilled her guts on TV and stated a decision had been made.

I’m not like alot of the Palin supporters...I was (and am) looking for an individual that can handle the Presidency and the mess we are in. I was convinced it was Palin; sadly it was not. She instead issued a lame ‘written’ reason why she decided to NOT RUN.

Whatever the case I am not hooked on a person but rather what the person will do in office. Palin took herself out and nothing she will ever say or state will mean sh*t to me; no credibility what-so-ever.

If you’re interested, here is the letter I posted to her FB account and posted here on FR:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2789120/posts?q=1&;page=201

I’m not interested in her reasons why she declined to run. She knew full well how people/supporters felt and she allowed the illusion of her running to continue. She made her millions. She did indeed, fought like a girl.

I think a small, uninformed handful would, certainly not “most.”

What makes you decide she made an error? If MB or Santorum or Ron or Cain or Newt dropped out - would you consider that an error on their part? Things change - nothing is written in stone - except for the hard nosed.

A minor analogy - if I'm invited to a party and considering everything, I decline. Things change and now I can go. Only those who didn't want me there to begin with - will be unhappy with the change of events.

Bristol spilled her guts on TV and stated a decision had been made.

Saying her mother made her decision is spilling her guts? Why the exaggeration? And we knew her decision, also. Her decision was to contemplate on it - she never came out and said 'yes' or 'no'. Did you want her stop speaking out, stop touring - stop being a patriot because it meant, for sure, she was running? The problem with many is - they don't get - it was never about Sarah but our country. That fire in her belly about our country will never die - it is who she is. So much for your FULL WELL IN JUNE . She didn't!

She instead issued a lame ‘written’ reason why she decided to NOT RUN.

Of course it's lame to you, since you already figured it out and all your 'gotcha' and 'FULL WELL KNEW'. Nice job of trying to mind read. Nothing like having a candidate that will jump when you say, or act like you require - you are looking for a puppet, not a leader. Instead you want to lead and have them follow.

She made her millions. She did indeed, fought like a girl.

With that comment, you never knew SARAH and a bad judge of character. And, obviously, the 'fighting like a girl' went over your head. I didn't click on the link regarding your opinion posted on FB. Like a nose, everyone has one with two holes in it.

I'm not so self righteous that I'd interject my opinion on a decision made by a 'self made' person - and a mother of five to boot!

There’s no reasoning with people like you. It’s true unfortunately...
It all has to be turned around on the poster.

Take care.

We think differently - that’s all. I don’t see things as you do. What’s right for you, isn’t for me and what’s right for me, isn’t for you.

And at times, I don’t even know what to believe. :-)

All of us are so on edge. So please forgive me if I came off curt.

Uninformed? How could anyone make an 'informed' decision w/o being vetted? You think Newt hasn't been vetted?

You don’t need my forgiveness but how honorable of you to ask. You see, I totally understand - it’s really a crappy time and that’s why I came off with being snippy. It shouldn’t be this hard when we all want the same thing but we have the ‘in your face’ liberal media along with the powers that be controlling things behind the scenes that we have no knowledge of, IMO.

You’re so right. The ‘in your face’ crap is really taking a toll on people. Rush Limbaugh keeps telling the audience to expect it to get worse...and then, like you pointed out, there’s crap going on behind the scenes that we have absolutely no control over. All this and then being forced to watch our nation disintegrate is almost too much.

My mom is just beside herself. I told her today she needs to take one day off away from the news or she’s going to become psychotic. She’s blind so she has little else but the radio and tv to stay on top of things...it’s horrible for her. Anyway didn’t mean to get off on that jag but truly...it just seems everyone is on the edge and hanging by a thread.

"I thought for sure you would have a better grasp on the things of God."

Why, because we disagree on this?

Yeah... go figure, huh?
