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...

Oh please....don't even get me started about the queers! They and their ilk have turned our great country into Sodom and Gomorrah!

Makes me throw up. When they come into our office I can't look them in the eye. My hatred would be exposed and I would most likely be fired. I know they would open their big ole mouths, for they would see my loathing.

I REFUSE to look at their faces. They make me sick!

Just a bit of history for you, the Sarah wars were brutal back then. Onyx remembers.


I remember too.. I was alongside onyx, and many other FReepers defending her..

They used any and every excuse they could try to throw in to get our underwear/panties in a brown twisted knot... most of us laughed it off...

Wow, I wasn't a member of FR when McPain picked Sarah for Veep.

Despite what my Signed up date Says I really didn't become involved in the day to day postings on FR until Summer of 2010.

So ALOT happened when I wasn't present.

Its bad now, must have been a nightmare then.

SanFranSicko got your brain matter in a bind..., I guess..

You posted a LOT of trash talking..

That post wasn’t even directed at you, but I had the courtesy of pinging you because you were involved somewhere in there...

Ok, where is it you are offended... That I say that “RACISM” is overrated or.... oh, wait... I hadn’t even started on queers yet.. :p

I guess it was the RACISM part that offended you?

The big Sarah wars on FR actually occurred after McCain (and Palin) lost, and as she reentered the fray after she resigned (lol, they always say "quit").

Yes, it got really bad. Sometimes it was even hard to maintain your sense of humor.

I loved tweaking some of them........all I can confess is it was a good thing JR really liked Sarah.......

My brother is homosexual. It is an illness. My brother has some severe issues and I won't go into them.

Some of his friends have been VERY likable people. They were not the militants. They were reserved and disdainful of the "butterflies" and "Mary's".

I take it that all you meet are militant sickies. They make life hard for the "closet" group.

I noticed photo bucket deleted some of my pics....depending on what I named them.

I have quite a number of aborted baby pics still on there; however, the only ones deleted “against their terms” were the ones I named as aborted.

The rest remain. So, according to what they deleted depends on the naming of your pics, not the pic itself.

Oh, I forgot 1 more demographic...

The one were there a a few Calipornians that come in here saying that Texas isn’t that great.. (compared to what?!)..

No, Texas isn’t perfect.. far from it... but it is a hell of a lot better than many of the other states that tax the hell out of the citizens :-p

I remember well. We all grew thicker skin.......

Breitbart had a name for them (Palin haters) that was remarkably perfect: Eunuchs.

Yes it does.

Some simply come to post insults and never truly contribute. That's a shame.

I believe it is you who needs to get back on your meds...or at least get on some.

If you're going to jump into someone else’s conversation, best to see what the conversation is about.
