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....

Unfortunately, you will not likely be given a chance to cast a meaningful vote for anything else.

It will be meaningful to me. I will not violate my faith or my conservative principles and vote for that lying, evil, socialist, demonic scumbag - either of them.

The politicians who have - really aren’t conservative at the root level but for election purposes only. They want to be included in the good old boys club (protection) otherwise they will be ostracized in DC. Their career is more important to them than America - Patriots they are NOT!!

And the talking heads want to keep working - money is more important than America.

I knew this was were we were headed in ‘08 and when a KNOWN LIAR CULT leader wants something - there are NO bounds he couldn’t cross to get it.

It’s the voters who are responsible - they allow evil to exist - w/o their support, it couldn’t. And, then there are some clueless to evil and was caught in it’s web even though they were told! Unteachable.

So what they have brought on America - THEY OWN! I am keeping my hands clean and NOT bringing evil on AMERICA.

Do you really think you have one now?

Myth may not hate America as much as 0b0tt0, is not what I'd call a chance or choice.

"Loose cannon diva"? LOL, C'mon Daily Mail, you can do better than that!

Hmmm, lessee, howabout "loose-hussy cannon-firing lightweight-diva"?

Apparently you do not like Palin, I find that curious.
You are correct the world does not revolve around her, she sure does make liberals spin though.
At the present, she is the best person out there delivering the conservative messages to the largest crowds.
But again, former VP candidates as well as other former elected officials are asked to speak.

WHY? American voters already showed their perfercence - evil over good. They could have supported and voted for NEWT - the ONLY Conservative in the race and the ONLY one who had the background and knowledge to be president. The others were toys of Mitt to be used for his agenda.

There will be no America in 2020 as we know. See how easily they get their way - have evil give money to the candidates and evil wins - voters are too easily swayed and too maive and TOO FEARFUL.

Notice the CORRUPTION in 3rd world countries where they are ‘allowed to vote’ thinking they had a chance - that is where we are - unless citizens in mass storm the powers that be and say NO ROMNEY!! Unless that happens, corruption and money decide for America as our silence condoned it.

In the end, Sarah and Newt will hear, Well done, good and faithful servants. With the real Judge, they win.

Sara Palin isn’t the only conservative former politician in the world, and world doesn’t revolve around her. I honestly don’t understand why it’s an issue at all.

It's not an issue with me....I learned a long time ago to sit back and observe, then evaluate what you've seen, let the chips fall where they may with no prejudice.

I can't change it, nor can you or anyone else, I was simply commenting on your flawed analogy.

No harm, no foul.

I'm thinking [Romney] likes Condoleeza Rice. She's single and eligible as a sister-wife to Ann.

I don’t think anybody on FR believes the puppet show. I’ve heard a lot of people say they would vote for a worm before they would vote for Obama, and that Romney just barely meets that standard of acceptability.

When she talks about the “nominee”, she very rarely even mentions Romney’s name, and seems to gag a little if she does have to say his name.

A lot of us feel that way.

Her 2008 vice presidential speech was a highlight of John McCain’s campaign, but also proved to to be the moment that she began to outshine him.

Romney is afraid of a repeat performance.

When will the masses finally realize that they do not select the candidates? They only participate in the motions to make the final selection palatable and to trumpet to the world about our republic of the people, by the people and for the people along with free elections. Yeah, free elections for candidates chosen by the unseen, especially within the two major parties. No criminal family, political or otherwise is going to allow outsiders to get involved in family business!!!

I understand what you are saying. And she is the only prominent conservative who has not formally endorsed Romney.

But she has said some good things about the guy. Two weeks ago she said that she “wouldn’t blink” when voting for him. She also said that she is confident that he will “surround himself with conservatives.”

In honesty, it sounds like she is resigned to voting for Romney and voting against Obama.

So what exactly WILL you be bringing to America? By your clean hands?

Even if you refuse to decide, you still have made a choice.

Agreed. The “Christians” who are caving and voting for Romney are like those Christians who renounced Christ easily in the face of persecution. They are selling their soul for political expediency rather than standing on the Rock of Ages.

I never thought I would EVER in my life vote republican for president, but I made my one & only huge vote mistake 4 years ago & I WON’T do that again!

I may not like Romney much, but I despise Obama, so I see no other choice. Voting for a third party candidate will not, at least as of now, hurt Obama. It WOULD hurt Romney.

They may yet. Somewhere between day 2 and 6 month into a Romney Admin.
If he strays to far from the center I believe conservatives will en masse say no more.
Otherwise, its going to be another lousy decade.

I despise both of them equally. I know members of Romney’s family who hate the man and know him to by a lying liberal and won’t vote for him.

I will not stand before God and try to justify why I voted for Mitt Romney, either on political (easy to research) or religious grounds (I used to be a member of his religion - I know the oaths he has taken and how they control their members).

The Republican party has moved to the left so far that there is no room for real conservatives in it anymore and they don’t want us. So be it, it will be on their heads.
