And who’s to say she doesn’t run in another year?
And who’s to say she doesn’t run in another year?
“Where was Sarah Palin’s Aragon? Where were the legions of brave warriors riding to what appeared to be an inevitable doom to aid her quest. During the days after Tucson, and in every other incident when the MSM and the literati literally went crazy in their loating and vilification of Palin, what did Romney say in her defense. NOTHING. When did Perry speak up for her. NEVER. When Casper Milquetoast Pawlenty was queried about the target map, he mumbled that, well, it wasn’t his style. Oh, you say, I remember Bachmann speaking up for her frequently. YOU REMEMBER WRONG. Cain’s silence was DEAFENING. Don’t remember Gingrich speaking up.”
Best post of the night, spartan. I began to think it was a no-go when the party dowagers signalled “no”.
Very apt and beautifully said.
She quit in Alaska and she quit on us today.
Maybe the elite in Washington were right about her being a quitter and knew they couldn’t trust her.
So much for reloading and all that BS!
Gee, that’s a resounding argument for whoever your candidate is. Believe me, I’m duly impressed.
A shame, really. Your candidate is currently the only one I think comes close to mine. You really do have better arguments to go to than that.
Yeah, I’d like to see you go through what she has... a conspiracy to bankrupt her and her family, being accused of complicity in mass murder in Arizona by the media, having scum like David Letterman make rape jokes about her 13-year-old daughter, having an arson attempt on her church, the deliberate tabloidization of her family by scandal rags, the outlandishly vile smears and lies about her character which were broadcast as truth across the land, endless death-threats, etc., etc.
And worst of all, not even being defending for a single moment by the Republican Party stalwarts (and that’s after working her tush off to get many of them elected!). At least it proved to me what a total scumbag organization the GOP has now become.
Working, I wish. But I see what I see, and yeah, except for the Godfather, it’s looking kind of thin.
Thank you so much for the ping, dear grey_whiskers!
So let me see if I have your logic correct...
She goes through everything you accurately describe for three long years. When other candidates start throwing their hats in the ring, she needs time to decide...I’m fine with that.
But she takes so long, the whole time knowing that nothings changed for her in the previous three years, she calls it quits!
After millions have waited for her and saving their money JUST FOR HER, she quits!
I’m sorry if you cannot understand the irony in all this.
It’s like not ever flying because of being afraid of the crash, and you finally fly for your first time with a bomb on board!
She let us down horribly! Accept that fact, and leave us alone.
I wrote it, and I give you full permission. Just credit / blame “grey_whiskers@freerepublic.com“...
Cheers!
You got it! Thanks!
Precisely!
Very nice and thank you. Having gone down in the chasm myself in battle with the Balrog, when I had cancer, I have a great appreciation for the allegory of he struggle for right in life and death in LOTR. Sarah is a light whose time has yet come. I believe she chose well although I wanted her in now. There is a good advance guard to whittle down the influence of the progressive marxist orcs. He time has yet come to claim the victory to come, when the enslaving ring is melted in the fires of Mordor. Sarah has a key role along the way as bearer.
Randy, she will continue her assault on the establishment, support tea party candidates, and work to rebuild the government framework by supporting common sense conservatives. That is not quitting. That is flanking the general and bolstering the troops from behind.
...and yet they couldn't wait to call her trolling for an endorsement within minutes of her announcement. She said several of the current presidential candidates make those calls...wonder which ones? I'd bet on Bachmann being one of them...
They're all scum...Democrats and Republicans.
very well said all the way around
With all due respect, dude, did you think that maybe she decided that she would best serve the conservative cause as spokeswoman, rather than as President? Also, I believe that her family didn’t want her to run. Should she have disregarded their opinion?
Millions have saved money for the campaign, choose a candidate carefully (I only see one, really, at this point), and donate--or not, as you choose.
But I think it is BS to call her a "quitter" when she never declared. She'll be around, she has drawn fire, kept the press in knots, coaxed some snakes out of the GOP grass, and exposed the lot of the pikers in the Party for what they are. She will remain a force to be reckoned with, just as soon as those who haven't been content to wait and see if whe would declare get over the fact that the only salvation this country will have will not come from one person, but from all of us, working together to restore the Republic.
Roll up your sleeves, FRiend, we all have work to do.
