Constitution Day has come and gone. No sign of Sarah. Frustrated? Yep, I am. Dissappointed? Yep, I am. Do I have a clue what she'll do? Nope. I'm starting to doubt, though, that she'll run. I'm starting to think she's holding out for Perry's VP slot, but pounding on him may not sit well...but Bachman seems to be doing that well herself and deflecting blame. I don't know, I'm flustered a bit. Thanks for listening out there in Freepland. What say or predict you?
First off, that poll about views is over a year old... How does it look today?
Second off, I think Newt Gingrich and I have a lot of similar views, too - much closer than Obama and me. However, I wouldn’t want Gingrich as President. Just because I hold views closer to him does not mean I think he’s the best person for the job...

Kickin in the front seat
Sittin in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?
Bookmarked for later.
Why in the world would she get in now? She saves money, makes money, lets others pound each other and not her, not waste her time with 8 people on stage, let others waste all their money, let things die down on books and movies against her. Let the undefeated come out on dvd. etc...
I wonder how many posters here realize that “The Undefeated” is not available for purchase until October 4. Do you think that fact could have anything at all to do with giving the people the chance to answer the question: Who Is Sarah Palin?
This is one I want to reply to later in the year.
So!
What’s your point?
You don’t like me? I don’t care.
Others don’t like me? I still don’t care.
I speak for myself, and if you can’t handle it then...TS!
“Romney is toast, unless...”
Romney is not toast. He will hammer perry on illegal immigration.

Re: Trolling and the futility of repeating ourselves
Fellow Cult members, True Believers and general Palin supporters...
As the end of Sarah Palin’s SELF ANNOUNCED timeframe comes closer, the Trollkind inhabiting Free Republic are coming out of the woodwork. This increases daily and aside from annoying the hell out of everyone, has resulted in a number of personal attacks on posters for the dread crime of supporting our choice of candidate. Allow me to get right to the point...
There is no point typing up book length answers to bring facts into the discussion. They are not interested. They will blow off your carefully researched data and opinions with one liners, diresion and mockery. As such, the only way to win the game is simply not to play.
Below you will find a number of cut and paste replies to most of the standard issue troll posts. Save your self hours of time best used to concentrate on working toward furthering Palin or any other candidate you believe in.
She can’t win/She’s not running
Answer - Prove it That’s your opinion and you are welcome to it Can you send me the winning lotto numbers too? I’ll wait until her stated time-frame ends to decide for myself, thanks.
High Negatives
Answer - 13 months to go. Call me back in about 12. ‘Reagan and Clinton shared that problem. In both terms.’ Don’t care what Liberals think
Divisive
Answer - If you’re a Democrat. Palin is following the Republican platform.
Self centered/serving/attention hound
Answer - Opinion, nothing more
Her supporters are nuts/Cultists/Palinistas and bad for her image
Answer - Opinion and nothing more.
In fact, most troll blather should be answered with Opinion and nothing more because most of their ‘facts’ are just that.
So Join me in an effort to save Jim’s bandwidth. It’s environmentally conscious and makes trolls ‘green’ as well since they won’t get the attention they crave. Lastly, when you encounter one, take a look at their posting history before you reply. You might just decide to save yourself some otherwise wasted time.
Feel free to copy and distribute to fellow Cultists
You make the rest of us look bad. That’s my problem with you.
When was the last time NY 9th voted in a GOP Representative?
Blow it out your constipated grinkie, ya know-nothing fusslard panktune.
8^D
Romney is cold stale toast.
Uh...actually ..NO...you posted to me Mr. BigHead. I just responded.
Pennsylvania is no lock to be a Republican win in 2012, just the opposite. Obama won even after he slimed us with no jobs, guns and religion crap. Here in PA we have to teach the GOP that we’re taking down all the RINOs. The GOP chairman, Rob Gleason, is a lifelong business ally of the late John Murtha and he helped a rich RINO beat a good Tea Party candidate and then rolled over for the Democrat heir of Murtha’s seat.
Rino Mike Fitzpatrick lost in 2008 then won in 2010 with Tea Party help. Fitzpatrick has voted for RINO Fred Upton (electrical corporations)to beat conservative Joe Barton (oil) for the Energy Committee. There’s more but the clincher for me was Fitzpatrick called for compromise in the debt-ceiling debate. We voted for Republicans, especially Tea Party candidates, to stop extending the debt ceilings, not allow Obama to use our money to give money to his Democrat friends.
If we play our cards right, we’ll win the Presidency, House and Senate. Sacrifice a few RINOs and tell the GOP we’re not voting for RINOs anymore.
Pat Toomey is our freshly minted Senator from Pa. Times are changin’. We can’t settle for a mediocrity this time, meaning Romney or Perry. Bob

Been reading some of the back and forth, and you are correct, the Trolls are insulting and annoying. Your suggested answers are fine, but don’t forget there is the option of not responding, or just reply ‘yes dear’.
Sarah told us in her book, she is not interested in being VP, it would be absolutely beneath her at this point.
I believe she is getting in absolutely, and it may not be in Sept.
