In an appearance on the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” on Tuesday, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told Sean Hannity that the reason why she didn’t endorse presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney during a Las Vegas speech this weekend was because she couldn’t.
The Daily Caller had pointed out on Tuesday that former Palin did not even mention Romney in her speech. But, Palin told Hannity, that doesn’t mean that the 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee isn’t supporting the former Massachusetts governor.
“There was a reason I did not mention Gov. Romney in my speech at the Americans for Prosperity Foundation event and RightOnline over the weekend, and that’s because I would have violated the ground rules for Americans for Prosperity Foundation. That you couldn’t violate their — I don’t know if it is a 501(c)3 — whatever the classification is of their organization.”
“No one mentioned Gov. Romney in their speeches nor endorsed anybody because that wasn’t what the conference was about. My role in the conference as a matter of fact in the conference was to point out the hypocrisy, the double standards and weakness of the old media and how the new citizen journalist media can rise up and take the place of what the old media used to represent and that is telling the truth and the facts to voters.”
Palin then went on to make it clear she was supporting Romney.
“I have said from day one and Sean, I think you said the exact same thingL It has been anybody but Obama. We have a presumptive nominee in the GOP process after a good competitive and very spirited competition to find that presumptive nominee,” Palin said. “And, yes, if that vote were to be taken today obviously I would vote for — for Gov. Romney over President Barack Obama in a heartbeat. I wouldn’t blink because I go back to what I said at the beginning — anybody but Obama.”

How is practicing RINO Republicanism by a, possible, Romney administration, for the next four years, if not, even, longer, a very good thing for long-term conservatism?
So I says to myself, “Self. Cain’t you see (I talks to myself in southernese)...cain’t you see that the only way Romney was ever going to get to be President was if someone really really really bad was elected President first and then all of Romney’s many many faults as a candidate would then seem so very small compared to this really really really bad President. So, since he did not get the nomination in 2008, he had to torpedo the 2008 Republican ticket behind the scenes, which he did wonderfully in a variety of ways without getting the blame, and also torpedo any Republican competition that might arise against him, which he also has been doing constantly.
All is working beautifully for him and now no one, not even the candidate most Americans really want to have as President, can get in his way this time.
Myself was dumbstruck by the thought.
I’m concerned if we get 4 more years of Baraq we’ll have any ability to recover, at least in my lifetime.

Well, you may be right. And then we’ll all have to deal with what the new idiot does to the nation.
Uh, oh, Sarah now the Lovers of Losers will be upset with you. They are going to stamp their little feet and pout.
And as a person who hopes one day to be the Second Big Party nominee and to have not broken Reagan’s 11th commandment, she, as a wise politician who has been marginalized for the time being, should have said...what?
I understand completely who and what Romney is and that is a hellava lot better that what's currently in the White House.
But, hey! Let's Start A Third Party, it's not too late! /s
Could it be your anti-Mormonism is greater then your anti-RINOism?
Better that we have NO MORE OBAMA.
Then you can scream and shout all you wish against Mitt.
If Mitt can prove to me with his ACTIONS that he can be conservative then he’ll get my vote... in his 2nd term.
until then I’m not budging.
Where have you been? Don’t you know that in these parts there is NO conservative anyone has ever heard off who is acceptable. Only obscure, inexperienced Losers who have never won any office greater than dogcatcher are acceptable.
The “vitory” will be a Texas-sized steaming turd. You enjoy it.
I’ve previously gone on record on FR indicating I will vote for the most conservative candidate for President I can find on the ballot but will not be voting for either R or O.
“I refuse to participate!
Sarah Palin & I will be voting Straight Republican Party!
It’s a shame some on FR will not be participating & celebrating our landslide vitory.”
YOU JUST PARTICIPATED :)
THAT's what I'm voting for.
I understand we are Conservatives first, but if we Freepers can't contribute and celebrate a Republican sweep, I might be on the wrong forum!
Geez, you people annoy me!
Regan the greatest president in my 55 years. would not be acceptable to many here.
Regan signed Amnesty.
He also gave us the free ER health care laws.
And as Gov he started the no fault divorce craze.
Non are perfect ‘cept for Christ.
The Jews and the true conservatives™ await his run for office.
I’m not anti-Mormon, just pro-small government conservatism! Small government conservatism is very badly needed, asap, and neither Barack Obama, nor Mitt Romney are small government conservatives!
