ok, we’ll see.
you might be right.
i tend to think that there are a lot of good people who are her supporters who are going to be let down, big time....and that makes me sad.
yes, many of her supporters, especially here are FR, are condescending, cocky and just mean. but many of them are also good down to earth folks who mean only good for America. and I feel bad that there is a very real possibility that those good folks are going to be let down.
maybe not, though.
we will see, soon enough.....4, 5...maybe 6 weeks at the outside.
Agreed. So many claim that they are sick of conventional politicians, and then proceed to criticize Sarah’s non-conventional style. Well, which is it?
I hear your passion, my FRiend. Hoffa has done one useful thing. He rang the alarm bell. See my post #43 for similar thoughts on a “Daughters of Liberty” concept seen in my mind to be Prov. 31 women.
Bingo!
Bottom line: Ever see the pic on the web where it’s a dark room, the guy is sitting bloodshot-eyed at the computer had his wife is trying to get him to bed. The caption reads “I CAN’T LEAVE NOW!!! SOMEONE IS WRONG ON THE INTERNET!!!
That’s the thing. People agree with Palin by and large but can’t let go the fact that they were PUBLICLY wrong about her. And their pride threatens to undermine the candidate they agree with because they will not eat crow. They will sabotage themselves rather than type on FR and elsewhere “I was wrong.”
Yes, I agree those avenues are still very valuable. I suggested the others because they allow us to contact those outside our normal circles, too. See my post #43 for other ideas. We all have a great circle of influence, if we take the time to map it out. Great job, Sam, in keeping the issues in the front! Keep up the good work, FRiend!
Nice!
Too often, it seems that some develop a personal and emotional dislike of a candidate, and then look to find something, however irrational, to use as a justification to support that conception.
If you (general comment) thinnk about it, we all do it to one degree or another. Right here on FR, how many of us have gone into the late hours arguing some piece of minutia solely so “we win” the argument, even when we know the other guy/woman makes good points. That same ‘pride’ is the source of the flame wars on the Palin threads and others.
And look at what happens. Take the Bachmann/Rollins issue. Many of us fought ‘to the death’ over her hiring RiINO Rollins, calling it a mistake that would doom her and an active shot at her by the establishment to disrupt her candidacy. She was doing well, then suddenly, she Gaffed non stop, faltered and now miraculously, Rollins, his work here done, steps down, leaving her in dire political straits.
Those same Freepers who went at us tooth and nail are now nowhere to be found on the Palin threads as their PRIDE at having been wrong, will not allow them to admit it or ‘type the words.’
They are mostly good people that Palin needs to win. Many are our online friends. But they won’t admit it and (que Clinton era quote) move on. So the attacks will (eventually) continue, but now it will be spun as “Palin’s fault.
Just watch. It’ll happen. And PRIDE is the reason.
Inspiring post. Thank you.
It is my guess that this will be one of the ugliest campaign seasons in history. There’s simply too much at stake this time around. This is only the beginning, I fear.
Sarah Palin *is* TEA PARTY, so she answered the call at 4:50AM this morning.
Still waiting on others.
GOP-E covers elites and establishment. Nice catch-all.
I have no doubt in my mind that it will devolve into a Mexican election complete with violence and military intervention. The Libs will not go back to a Republican President/control.
As for inter-party warfare, the RINO wing will not give up their hold on power. It will have to be basically torn from them. They will go at Palin and any other Conservative with tactics just short of what the libs will pull. This one is for all the marbles. People have been killed, maimed etc. for far less then the prize being played for here. This isn’t just an election, it’s something on par with a revolution since one political philosophy will be utterly devastated by the ultimate outcome.
I say that in honesty and in genuinely fear for the lives of those willing to go up against the entrenched system, intent on changing it. But Our Founders risked the same. There is nothing new under the sun.
Exactly right.
Oh look, they started in earnest....

Not to be irritating, but America is lost without God, Palin is just a Christian, speaking as a Christian and holding up Judea-Christian Ideals. While she is wonderful, she is not the answer, America repenting and returning to a Nation under God is the answer. She is just leading the way.
It Sure is funny that the only person that has been told not to run is Sarah Palin, Not Perry, not Romney, not McCain last time.
No one in the history in American politics has been told not to run as much as this women.
Why, because as Rush says, they will tell you who they are most afraid of,
Outstanding post Norm! Bump that!
And when you ask them why Palin and not Romney et all, you get to listen to verbal gymnastics that would win a Gold Medal in the Olympics. Anything but what they really MEAN.
Which is that “We don’t want Conservatives that will take away our power/bennies and stop the great Lib/Gay/Atheistic/communistic agenda from using incrementalisn to erode the resistance of you idiots that we have been using to great success for the last couple decades. 4-8 years of a real conservative in power would reverse that and we might not ever get back in power.”
Just to be clear, the “America is lost without Palin” was not my sentiment...I agree with you (and with God).
