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...

EVER!
To the defeatist wing of the GOP.
Because the GOP has gone the way of the Whigs, Not the Libertarians or Conservatives like you or I or Sarah.
Just the Republicans.
Because the stood for NOTHING and now complain to us because we couldn't elect THEIR Milquetoast Mitt.
Need I say, ...with friends like that...
Otherwise, thanks for the quick and courteous reply. I'll confess that I wasn't aware of Barry Goldwater's propensity for big spending by the government back in 1964. Compared to the evil Johnson, AuH20 was surely a skinflint. But since I'm not a fan of relativism, that doesn't let him off the hook.
“A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have.”
If indeed he was only mouthing those words without conviction, then add Goldwater to the list of CINOs. Thanks to your thought-provoking comments, I'll be doing more reading about the Barry Goldwater of that era.
Too bad we can’t get this kind of coverage from our own “media”.
You betcha!
And it was 80 degrees here today!
We would all LOVE to see her in the White House!
Here’s another girl who could really belt them out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FDqRo4K8M8
It got to almost 70 here and I’m in PA! All my beautiful snow and icicles are gone.
A Real American in the White House. Woo Hoo!
TWB
Your post WhiteBear deserves to be spread far and wide on FR.
I remember when George Washington threw up his hands and said it was too late, the British had won too many battles, and went home to Mt. Vernon to sulk.
Once she starts kicking RINO butt, she’ll find a whole lot more than $1.2 million in the till.
Not to distract from all the cult like worshiping of Sarah but this just sounds like she’s short of funds and is hoping to get back in the spot light to raise a little cash to support the lifestyle that she’s become accustom to. She’s a has been political hack that couldn’t even stay in the actual office that she was elected to. Do you really think that she’ll do anything to “shake up” the GOP? Get real.
I agree.
When and if Susana Martinez is re-elected in New Mexico, for example, she will be in a much better position to run for 2016 than Sarah.
If Sarah had been wiser, she would have REFUSED McBlame’s invitation ....
It would have saved her career if she had done that....
The shockwaves are already being felt in the establishment. Smell the fear. They thought we were done for. Thought they killed us off.
SURPRISE!!!! HA! LOCK AND RELOAD!!!
Washington didn’t quit - but most of his men did. And when crossing the Delaware, the other two Generals determined that “conditions weren’t right” and left Washington on his own.

Excerpt:
Washington crossing the Delaware was a very gutsy move, and turned out to be the single event that shifted the momentum of the Revolutionary War. After suffering heavy losses at Long Island and Manhattan, George Washington found himself in a precarious situation. To this point he had lost the majority of the battles that they had fought, and the summer zeal of the patriots desiring to fight for their independence had faded, and his troops were deserting as the leaves turned colors and fell from the trees.
Almost half of the 5,000 men that remained of his army were ill and unfit for duty.....
Trapped in l a too long? Smog getting to ya? Liberals to the left of ya and jokers pretending to be right? Smell the coffee. Sarah will shake the foundations of the rovians and we will damn sure help her do it.
