Going Rogue: Palin says she plans to 'shake up the GOP machine' w/ $1.2M raised through her PAC
The London Daily Mail ^ | January 29, 2013 | Leslie Larson

Once again Sarah Palin is showing that she has no plans to play by the rules.

She has parted ways with FOX News after a turbulent relationship with the conservative cable news channel, taken pot shots at pundits in the 'lame stream media' and slammed her own party for selecting Mitt Romney as the 2012 Republican presidential nominee.

Now the former Alaska governor says she'll use the $1.2 million raised through her SarahPAC to 'shake up the GOP machine' and unveiled a vague vision on how she'll get her message out to a larger audience.

News broke on Friday night that she had not renewed her $1 million annual contract with FOX News, after three years as a contributor on Roger Ailes' network.

Palin then spoke out on Saturday, in an interview with Breitbart.com, saying that she was working to 'free up opportunities to share more broadly the message of the beauty of freedom and the imperative of defending our republic and restoring this most exceptional nation.'

Calling the future 'wide open' with opportunities, she shared how she plans 'to pick battles wisely, and all in due season' - hinting that she still has a fight left in her.

Her vision for the future coincided with the financial disclosure from her Political Action Committee, SarahPAC, with records released on Monday showing she ended 2012 with nearly $1.2 million in the bank.

She raised around $20,790 between Nov. 27 and Dec. 31 and spent $67,800 during that time period on expenses including consulting, speech writing and legal fees...

Awww, thnx (((hug)))! A lot of people in my daily life think I am Jewish. I don’t look like a Jew, but I do speak like one.

Except of course when I am spreading the Lords Word, or at least trying to!

You expect the older signups to be VERY conservative.


I think, at the time, it was an even split between Libertarians and Conservatives.. I (like my page says) came here in 2003... I was SO against Kerry :p .. Bush may not have been the best Conservative, but he was the best we could have had at the time.

Imagine what Clinton would have done... even worse.. Imagine what KERRY would have done.


WITH a 'RINO', we circumvented more terrorist attacks than any of us will ever know about (off record).. and I think Bush2 was as close as we can get to our beliefs.. UNTIL, we will allow someone like Gov. Palin is to clean up the mess and wipe the slate clean again.

Reagan did it once, but, obviously he wasn't able to clean all of the scum :/ .. I wish he had been able to; we would all be in a better place/position IF he had been able too..

Unfortunately, we can't predict 5, 15, 25 years in the future (or can we.. 1984 was written by a Brit.. he pretty had it described even before we had the actual technology... and Animal Farm had the Socialist aspect of it to a T).


I thnk we are all waiting on a leader to give the command.. and I KNOW that MILLIONS of freedon respecting people will, once again, fight for our rights.

I really don’t recall many liberals in the early years; there were several libertarians, but they were radical conservatives, like Rob Noel for example, and Dausman, who I believe is still listed, but never shows up.

Most of the zots simply got to be too self-important, and tried to run the show, but there were some severe bad apples like Eschoir, a queer lawyer that sang in a choir, and had some kind of stalking fixation on Connie Hair.

I don’t have to post any links to prove what I’ve heard.

You were challenged to prove your assertion, and since you didn't (meaning can't), you shouldn't repeat the assertion.

It's actually pretty simple.

Thank you for the insights.

When I joined in 2000, older sign ups helped newer sign ups and taught us the ropes. I learned a lot from some of them. It was painful to see opinions change and some needful zots.

I still recall a link to a couple of DU type sites back in 2003-2004; calling on an effort for the libtard communists to infiltrate Conservative sites... especially FR..

I don't think there is any correlation at all, not saying it's not fun to make up theories, but having signed up in 2000 (used another poster name, not banned, simply changed my poster name, JR helped) I'm hardly proof of the correlation....

:-)

Frankly, I think it's the one percenters that correlate to being anti-Sarah. New theory that awaits its destruction.........

Especially every presidential election.

However it is easier to infiltrate their sites as it's easy to be stupid but very difficult to pretend to be reasoned.

My favorite conservative "send up" was "Princess Moonbeam" or some such name. It was a total hoot!

That is a possibility too.

The More money you have that you didn't earn (Ted Kennedy example #1) What does it matter if some slub working at the Power Company has to pay more taxes and yet is Wasted without a second thought.

Remember the Republican party is suppose to be the party of the "Rich" and it may be, of trust fund babies who are embarrassed of Conservatives and self made people like Sarah.

What argument is that exactly? That I’ll be banned? Or that I’m like pissant (whoever he/she is). Sounds like sour grapes from a few worshipers of Sarah if you ask me. My basic argument still stands (despite the irrational desire of people like you to stifle all opinions that don’t meet with your approval) that Palin is not anything more than a political hack looking for more money to fund her lifestyle. All the ranting and raving by people that replace facts with hope and change desires can continue on with that for all the good it will do you, no skin off my nose.

You are pathetic. Do you enjoy attacking people, for their beliefs, who weren’t even talking to you?

Go away.
