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...

OK, Now it’s time for me to get back on the Palin bandwagon. Please add me to the pinglist.

You know, it just might be too late, but one thing that you never do in a battle is to give in, or give up. This is exactly how they (the democrats and republican elite) want us to feel, neutered and helpless. For one, Sarah is a fighter. If SHE is willing to stand up and fight, the very least we can do is join her and do everything we can. Will it be impossible? There have been plenty of times in our past that it looked just as dark. Think what the country felt on December 7th, 1941. If that was not a sinking feeling, losing all those men, ships, aircraft, etc., I don’t know what else is. Give up if you want, but keep your comments to yourself. I believe there is still time for true believers among us to pray for God’s help, if we repent and turn back to Him. I doubt the nation ever will. The verse applies to people of God, as it states, “If MY people, who are called by MY name will will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and forgive their sin and I will heal their land.” It was spoken to Israel, but I believe it can apply to any nation that was considered a Christian nation, as ours was founded on Biblical principles, almost straight from the Bible in every detail. There is no need to question that we who are believers are also God’s people, and as such have every right to call upon Him.

“Smell the coffee. Sarah will shake the foundations of the rovians and we will damn sure help her do it.”

Too funny, it’s you that needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Sarah moved from Alaska to some pretty nice digs in Arizona, she’s got bills to pay and the speaking fees just aren’t what they used to be. Her 15 minutes of fame have long since past except for those “true believers” that think she walks on water. Why? I’m not sure as she has not really accomplished much of anything and most of the candidates that she supported lost. but never mind, she’s good looking, for a woman of her age, and there’s plenty of white knights like you to put her up on a pedestal and worship her. So have at it, just don’t say you weren’t warned.

First off, I could never qualify for knighthood. Trust me.
I’m a living, breathing, genuine, bonafide mountain mama.

Second. Even YOU must have noticed that Sarah Palin is a generator.

All she has to do is be. All ANYONE has to do is mention her name and the eyes and ears snap to. When she engages, she wins. When she doesn’t engage, she wins. I haven’t seen anyone in my life as THERE as Sarah Palin is.
Even the democrats steal her words...because from HER, they mean something. From them, it’s a blatant attempt to imitate her but it’s hollow and cheap and we see it.
You can think whatever you wish to think. That is your right. All I am saying is the proof is in the pudding. Wait and watch.

Nice try with the shaming language but no, in my eyes Sarah is just yet another political hack. Now if you’d get back into the kitchen and let the men discuss this I think everyone would be happier.

Thanks for “Who’s Sorry Now?” Really like that one!

One of her best for sure. She never recovered from the rape.

Sorry but all I hear is crickets. She hasn’t done much but promote herself, like any politician but that’s about the end of it. When’s the last time she ran for office? 8 years ago? And she’s been milking that 15 minutes of fame ever since.

Barry wasn’t near the conservative that his mouth pretended to be.

Take a look at how he ended up. Young wife, Gay rights conversion.... Yep Conservative all right.

I also campaigned for him in ‘64, which got me in trouble with Pierre Salinger, who was a friend at the time.

They told us if we voted for Barry the war would get worse and sure enough I voted for him and it got worse. Guns and butter indeed.

This from someone who call themselves “beandog”? Sorry to pop your hero worshiping bubble must be hard living in a fantasy world where people don’t have flaws, especially people asking for money from you to “shake up the GOP”. Good luck with that and if you have time I’ve got a bridge for sell at a real good price.

The Cristal Bunk-Ball says:

"I got good news and bad news."

The Good News First:
The Republican Party Will Die. Sarah will euthanize it. The Party that was founded to save the Union and Free The Slaves cannot save the Republic and cannot get a vote from the descendants of said freed slaves to save its tired old ass. It has succumbed to terminal wimpery and the catering to special interests that it serves from safe seats guaranteed to it by the Democrat Party, which keeps Republicans cut in for a piece of the action and owns them lock, stock, and perk.

And now for the really bad news.
This will be an ugly death. And a slow one. As the GOP dies at the hands of a Third Party (aka The Sarah Party), The Democrat Party will run rampant for a term ... possibly two. There will be strife. Possibly even blood. The battle to regain a constitutional republic has no guaranteed outcome. Pray. Fast. Get armed and organized. WE are the enslaved minority. Unlike the former slaves we shall have to free ourselves with scant help from the majority.

It’s about 1.1999 million more than I have contributed.

She can stir it up, Big Time.

SP is a natural Force Multiplier.

Your fear of Sarah shaking it up again is showing.
