Sarah Palin Goes Native

Reader’s Digest Condensed Version:

“I am not a Sarah Palin hater, but she’s a tool of the Republican Establishment, and won’t tell us if she’s going to run, but never mind because she isn’t going to run, even if she does run she isn’t going to even try to win, her most dedcated supporters have given up on her and want nothing to do with her campaign...oh, wait a minute, there is no campaign...where was I...oh yes, she’s taking all the Tea Party resources away from the other Republican candidates, just the fact that people think she might run is sabotaging other candidates that might have a chance of beating Romney, she didn’t endorse any Utah candidates but didn’t burn Orrin Hatch at the stake either, Machiavelli insinuations, repeats himself that she’s a Republican Establishment shill and a betrayer of the Tea Party, ends with, oh, how sad, she’s so effective at putting the wool over everyone’s eyes that she’s an Establishment tool” Did I honestly miss anything?

You can just save time with anything you see in the future that has the preamble “I’m not a Sarah Palin hater but...” Vegas odds say the following paragraphs are almost guaranteed to drop steaming from the southern end of a northbound Angus.

Hmmm. Is someone trying to sow discontent against Sarah, in the face of the possibility that she’ll run?

Palin has made absolutely no moves that are consistent with a candidate that is actually preparing to run for the presidency that I am aware of. She has hired no field staff, has put no organization on the ground in IA, NH, or SC, has not met with the big ticket donors that could kick off a campaign (especially relevant since Palin doesn’t have a large cache of personal wealth to draw from), and hasn’t to my knowledge had meetings with any of the state and county-level power brokers in these states to discuss their willingness to help her potential candidacy.

Dead wrong on all 4 counts... Thanks for playing.

Chaffetz endorsed Milt. Despite this, I hope he beats Hatch. Anyone who leaves Sarah b/c she offered kind words to Hatch needs to find a candidate who has NEVER supported someone not to your liking. Good luck! Bob

It’s all about putting together a coalition. Tea Party backing alone can’t win the general election. yes Orrin is not the best we could do in Utah, but if he has and will continue to stand up for SP, then this is part of what has to be. Sarah Palin, as much support as she has, can not go around and pick fights everywhere, but if she wins the presidency and her policies do turn the country around, maybe she will increase her capital and be able to purge a few more rinos.

“I am not a Sarah Palin hater. As an Alaska native” classic fist words of a “Concern Troll”!

Bingo. Laura Ingraham would call this a 'but monkey' moment.

[Spirit of Liberty]

If Palin is as horrible as the establishment Republicans say, you’d think they wouldn’t be looking for her to endorse anyone they favor.
