How do you solve a problem like Sarah? Romney misses out in stand-off with loose cannon diva
The London Daily Mail ^ | July 16, 2012 | Daniel Bates

She is the Tea Party diva who lit up the 2008 Presidential campaign.

But four years later Mitt Romney is facing one of the most vexing questions of his campaign: what to do with Sarah Palin?

In an increasingly uncomfortable stand-off, he has not invited her to next month’s Republican national convention whilst she has failed to give him her full backing.

Palin has also not appeared with the Romney on the campaign trail and prefers to use her Facebook page to bash Barack Obama.

The result is that the Republican presidential candidate is left without the endorsement of a woman who can energise his base in a way he can only dream of.

The former Massachusetts governor - who is so emotionally cold friends reportedly call him ‘Tin Man’ - is facing nagging questions about how he can appeal to the Tea Party which still feels he is a left wing flip flopper.

Palin would fill that role but would constantly be in danger of going rogue - and not sticking to the carefully crafted scripts....

I pray the Sarah doesn’t give an inch. She is one of the only ones left with real principles and real backbone.

I don’t believe that Palin has endorsed Romney, so I wouldn’t expect her to have a speech at the convention.

It’s her choice of course...

Opposition to Obama does not equal Romney support.
Well said.

Opposition to Romney does not equal Obama support.

Works both ways.

He thinks holding obama over American voters heads, so he can do whatever he damn well pleases and everyone must submit to him.

I hope the delegates are taking note and his boney butt covered in special underwear is kicked to the curb where he belongs! Maybe obama will make him his VP.

It’s a shame. If Romney had a pair, he’d pick ex-Delta Lt Gen William Boykin as VP. All his Sarah troubles would go away fast.

She is also black and that would be a no-no according to LDS prophets.”


Mittens can always request a special dispensation from the living Prophet to his god. You know how flexible the mormon god is.

I have to say that I would like to be able to vote w/ pasiion for someone I love & respect just once in my life before I die. And you know what? I sadly don’t see that happening.

That happened long ago when I voted for Clinton & I was ecstatic ( I did not vote for him the following presidential election. I was so disgusted that it was the only time in my life I have refused to vote. My parents drilled into us that voting is your duty.) I know that my choice would not have thrilled you, I’m just explaining how basically presidential elections anymore are voting for the person who makes you throw up the least. That’s not how I want to vote.

The hotels won’t have any vacancies so it looks like Patriots will be sleeping on the beach.

No kidding!? It has been quite peaceful, as in quiet as a tomb around here, but I know yam was all but begging to be cut loose. Wonder what the straw was that finally broke the camel’s back?

I thank you for the update information.

Sarah's turn will come. Sarah must not dilute the vote against obozo, and thereby lose this election...she must realize that we have to deal with the cards that have been dealt. Don't be foolhardy, Sarah. We do not have to love Romney...we need to vote him in to office.

Romney DOES NOT hate America, Romney IS NOT a socialist/communist/marxist/revolutionary/sharia law loving thug.

OBOMA IS ALL OF THE ABOVE.

That's the difference that counts the most. We sit on Romney's behind and pound away at him to make sure he hears the word of We The People.

For those of you who will not vote for Romney, a few words to you. If you don't think we can overcome the tyranny of punks like oboma and holder, you are a wimp and frankly you sound more French than American. If you want to waive the white flag of surrender, We The People will have to win this war without you.

Mitt Romney is facing one of the most vexing questions of his campaign: what to do with Sarah Palin?

You mean that half-term governor/reality star / baby mamma mamma who only does TV interviews with Greta or other softball hosts on Fox News?

He should do what the rest of the country has done: ignored her.

What did the POS Romney do to MA in his completed governorship? So finishing a term means ZIP!!

Initiated same sex marriage 1st in the country
initiated SOCIALISTIC HEALTHCARE 1st in the country
appointed liberal judges
PRO baby killing
Raised taxes/fees
Employment MA 47th in the country under his pathetic admin

So you see the socialistic/POS, cult leader hates what America stands for as he brought his filth where the pilgrims landed first and plans the same for America.

Sarah lives in his head for FOUR years so far - so, chump, you are VERY wrong - he is NOT ignoring her. Even you don’t - you clicked on a thread with SARAH in the title. The WORLD knows SARAH and when she speaks EVERYONE listens. Not to you nina but SARAH!! Eat your heart out!!

How in the H did these CINO (McCain) and CINO du jour (Mittens) get nominated? It's unexplainable.

Somehow, for whatever reason, God seems to have ordained that Barak Obama, the Socialist lover of government tyranny and hater of our free Constitutional Republic would be elected TWICE.

Jesus is coming soon.

You are exactly right on all counts. I am a born again Christian, but 0dumb0 & the demoRATs cause me to swear & rant like a drunken sailor at times. The powers that be are ordained of God, and for the life of me, I cannot believe that God was willing to save Sodom & Gomorrah for only 10 righteous souls, and yet we have millions of born again Christians & conservative patriots in the USA and instead we have a lackluster, dim-witted, socialist lite Mitt Romney, who is constantly on the defensive against the RAT Bastard commie muslim pig 0dumb0, and is getting shellacked on a daily basis. Unbelieveable.

There are 50 things or more that Mitt should be attacking 0dumb0 on a daily basis, including his fraudulent Conn. SS #, fraudulent Selective Service deferment, hidden school records, Jeremiah Wright, Fast & Furious cover-up, etc., etc. In 2008 & even in 2007, 0dumb0 was on the offensive non-stop and in the news daily. The only time I see Mitt in the news is when he is making another defensive statement. Unbelieveable.

Only the imminent return of Jesus will stop this evil.
