Sarah Palin stirs the pot but doesn’t announce (Obama 2012 & Palin 2016 in Works?)
Washington Post ^ | Jennifer Rubin

Sarah Palin stirs the pot but doesn’t announce By Jennifer Rubin Sarah Palin didn’t announce her candidacy for president Saturday at a Tea Party gathering in Iowa. But she did complicate matters for front-runner Texas Gov. Rick Perry, suggesting an actual strategy may be at work: If Perry stumbles, she might get into the race. But don’t bet on it.

Mitt Romney and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) might want to sent Palin some flowers. She did an enormous favor for them in making the argument against “crony capitalism,” one of the most potent arguments against Perry. As this report observed:

“We’re celebrating red, white and blue America!” she began her speech, amid the sounds of cheering and what sounded suspiciously like a vuvuzela. After painting a dire picture of the American economy as it stands today, she railed against President Obama: “Is this what you call winning the future? I call it

Filing deadlines aren’t until the end of October, so what’s your hurry?

To be Rickrolled is to click on one thing and wind up with something else entirely (mainly that video). It works.

No hurry Bro. The More the merrier.

Besides, look at the advantages of waiting.

Ed Rollins is now available.

But she's too strong and straight a woman to crawl and cringe like that.

Well, she did have pretty good experience slinking out of the Governors office, no?

Maybe if Perry picked Lil Miss Truther Deb, that would be the Cat’s Meow?

Least Gov. Goodhair is not backdoor backrolled by Soros like lot of “fake Palin” PDSer’s Little Martian RP is.

"“You and many other PerryBots are in almost EVERY Palin thread trashing her to Mars and back!”

Now that’s a lie I won’t let pass. I am strong both for Perry and Palin and I have not seen one single Palin thread where anyone supporting Perry has run down Palin.

Show us a link or STFU."

Oh Really?!

I tried to make sure that they were all Palin threads, I may have accidentally pulled a Perry thread, please forgive me if I did. Also, some of the posts are pretty harmless, but the point was that you said it never happens. I actually thought there were more (and there are many more that I didn't post.. but not the ones that I was looking for... being that I read all of the candidate threads that I can catch, I may have been thinking of some that are in the Perry (or even a different candidate) thread.. apologies there too.
I try not to comment about other candidates in their threads, but I do pay attention to the positives and negative (linked sources included) so I know who the strongest candidates are. Even in the Palin threads, I try not to get involved in the arguments, although I do choose to support Palin.
I was never good at debate (or arguments), so I just watch things unfold as they do. There are some very good supporters, call us what you wish, that are MUCH better at getting the information printed out than I could ever do.. I usually stick with the graphics.

No hard feelings intended at all either..

Have a great day!

Outstanding work. It can be very time consuming to provide documentation, but it’s necessary if one is to support a charge.

When I joined FR, if you made a statement and couldn’t back it up, the old-timers ate your lunch. I leaned NEVER say something that you couldn’t prove with a link.

Need to either back off on the cofee or take your lithium.

Randomly picking some of your (not links) out of The manic list, I found mostly real mean things like “guys are being led by the nose as palin does the hokey pokey” , “palinite cadre here seems to actually believe that tens of millions of American voters will rush out to Walmart to pick up the DVD and will then experience a ‘Paul on the road to Damascus’ revelation about Palin’s(™) unavoidable destiny to lead us” and the WORST “She has been playing it just too cute if she still intends to run” which is a far cry from the slanderous distorted and untrue smears even on this thread against Perry on EVERY Perry thread.

If anyone or anything is hurting Palin its dumbass Palinistas acting like ronpaulnutz.

Exactly.. I learned that quickly myself.. and I am usually too lazy (that’s why I lurk more than I type :P)

BUT, THIS is too important to be lazy over!!!

And, fair is fair, I said something, and someone asked me to back it.. I started it, may as well finish too ;)
