Take with a HUGE grain of salt… Huge.
Conservative talk show host, Dr Gina Louden, says that she has “information from a reliable source,” that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is reconsidering a run for the White House in 2012. Sarah Palin announced on October 5, that she would not be running in 2012 and that she would not run third party.
With the recent fire storm that has hit Herman Cain about sexual harassment charges and with Romney being a complete RINO, a Palin entrance would be pretty awesome right now.
You can listen to audio of Dr. Gina Louden talking about this “reliable” news she received here.
Many filing deadlines have passed. However, Iowa has not. New Hampshire has, but I don’t believe she could win NH. I also believe that South Carolina has passed. Palin needs South Carolina. Iowa is wide-open.
I want to caution you that reconsidering doesn’t mean that Palin will change her mind and actually run.
If you want my two cents, I don’t think she’ll run.
I think there’s much more to it than that. Cain id getting a fraction of the BS they hit Palin with (though I’m sure they will ramp up after this latest backfire.
Every indicator had her ready to rock...speeches, tours, interviews, Facebook posts... all moving toward a positive announcement. Then suddenly, the Gretta iview and you could see it in her face that ‘something’ serious was up. Something a lot more serious than another round of media BS.
We all have our personal suspicions. Perhaps they are just conspiracy theories... so be it. But there’s more to this than a family vote. A person does not suddenly 180 like that without something big leading to the action. We may never know what unfortunately.
Yeah ok whatever you say. An observation was made and here comes the attack. Not a comment or disagreement about the post/message just an attack.
Odd that implying that Palin was a laughingstock is not an attack but getting called on it is. Wouldn’t have anything to do with supporting another candidate would it? Please describe in factual detail how she would be such.
How many victim pills does it take per day to get to that level? In the last week you’ve managed to be ‘attacked’ by a wide swath of posters on FR for your ‘observations’. Odd that you are the only sane poster on the whole site.
I agree. Maybe there are still some more dollars out there to be milked yet.
Not much of a chance of this. I think Sarah wanted to let her kids grow up and to let Piper stay in Alaska. She may become an energy adviser but that’s all this time around. At this point I’m not to sure that Sarah would ever want to live in DC but would rather encourage Americans to be fully engaged in our future.
Hope that is seen is not Hope
For what a man doth see,
Why does he yet hope.
John The Baptizer while awaiting his execution sent out a courier to ask Jesus
"Are you the One we seek, or do we seek another?"
Jesus did not give John a direct answer,
He simply told the messenger,
Go tell him what you see here.
It is clear that you are not of the kinder gentler wing of the Libertarian group. Or maybe just a troll.
You said she was a laughing stock. I truly believe that those of you that turned on her now, would have turned on her eventually had she run, I guess when ever the going got tough.
You turned on her, I did not. You will have to live with your decision.
Mind you it`s never to late to apologize to Sarah, say I am sorry how I behaved, I was under a lot of stress, I didn`t really mean the things I said?
But if that is not in your heart? You could have avoided the thread altogether, by responding as you did, you made yourself no better than the ones you yourself used to complain about.
Yep me too, but it is hardly a laughing matter. Time was when candidates were picked from smokey back rooms, they just moved the process out in the open a little bit to give the rubes the illusion that they actually had a say in the matter. Seems it worked on you.
Palin looked to have a chance to break that tradition and Christians hoped that Palin would feel lead of God to challenge the corruption but she did not.
Yes we are disappointed because we see the Nation now rapidly falling down the rat hole of history, having squandered the gift God gave us, choosing to become a nation of scoffers. If you look in the Bible, you will find a very accurate description of just who we have become.
If you're telling me that there's some secret system that selects the GOP nominee, show me what it is. As far as I know, the GOP nominee is the person in the primaries who garners the most votes among primary voters.
I've asked you a couple times to tell me how you think the GOP nominee is selected, but you've been unable to so far.
I know the primaries are influenced by smokey back rooms and people with unseemly agendas and alot of money, but in the end, the American people pull the levers that control the power. If they're allowing themselves to be manipulated by those with evil agendas, the fault lies with themselves.
“If she ever runs for President... I will fight through the gates of hell with her”
Ditto that, LLS
You should hone your reading comprehension skills.
The first several paragraphs are excerpts from Bastiat's "The Law". The last paragraph is made up of excerpts from Ronald Reagan's immortal speech "A Time For Choosing".
Please listen to these messages from two of history's most important minds that have turned simple words into the magic of great ideas:
"In the first place the word universal conceals a gross fallacy. For example, there are 36 million people in France. Thus, to make the right of suffrage universal, there should be 36 million voters. But the most extended system permits only 9 million people to vote. Three persons out of four are excluded. And more than this, they are excluded by the fourth. This fourth person advances the principle of incapacity as his reason for excluding the others...And why is incapacity a motive for exclusion? Because it is not the voter alone who suffers the consequences of his vote; because each vote touches and affects everyone in the entire community; because the people in the community have a right to demand some safeguards concerning the acts upon which their welfare and existence depend...if the law had always been what it ought to be. In fact, if law were restricted to protecting all persons, all liberties, and all properties; if law were nothing more than the organized combination of the individual's right to self defense; if law were the obstacle, the check, the punisher of all oppression and plunder, is it likely that we citizens would then argue much about the extent of the franchise?...If the law were confined to its proper functions, everyone's interest in the law would be the same. Is it not clear that, under these circumstances, those who voted could not inconvenience those who did not vote?
"The Fatal Idea of Legal Plunder
"But on the other hand, imagine that this fatal principle has been introduced: Under the pretense of organization, regulation, protection, or encouragement, the law takes property from one person and gives it to another; the law takes the wealth of all and gives it to a few, whether farmers, manufacturers, ship owners, artists, or comedians. Under these circumstances, then certainly every class will aspire to grasp the law, and logically so.
"The excluded classes will furiously demand their right to vote, and will overthrow society rather than not to obtain it...." Frederich Bastiat 1850
"This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves...Our Democratic opponents seem unwilling to debate these issues. They want to make you and I believe that this is a contest between two men...that we're to choose just between two personalities."
"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny...We have come to a time for choosing; we will preserve for our children this the last best hope for man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness." Ronald Reagan 1964
Here is the message that needs repetition lest we forget: The media and both political parties want voters to believe elections are about choosing "our leaders" for a reason. If the body of our laws restricted government to its legitimate functions, political leaders would have very little power and nobody would care much who exercised it.
But the truth is, political leaders desire unlimited powers and the ability to change the law puts the power to gain ever more power within their grasp.
As long as individual people can make their own decisions about how we live our lives, We the people have the power and our freedom. The choice of which leaders run the government would not be terribly material most of the time.
But when political leaders have the power to change the law in a way that limits the number, or the nature, of the decisions that We the people can make for ourselves, then we have lost our freedom and WE the people must focus on the issues of the election in such a way that is most likely to allow us as individuals to recover our lost freedom.
Sometimes the candidates matter as Avatars for the issues, particularly in the primaries. Cain and Palin are easily understood Avatars that matter a lot.
In contrast, most Republicans and conservatives would be delighted to see Newt win the Republcian nomination, but Newt would be a terribly flawed choice and a delusionary avatar. Proof? Try this.
As Ronald Reagan said, "This Is The Issue Of This Election.".
....the similar treatment Cain is receiving now to what Palin was subject to the last 2 years...and the common thread behind both becomes clear. This is a bipartisan lynching courtesy of the RinoCracy.
We the People are only to “be allowed” certain candidates....
Having to provide your own campaign security outside the Secret Service could be a real pain. Yet it is an issue every American needs to be concerned about. NOT talking about it permits it to fester.
Really TOO BAD!!! A shame but a truth.
Check him out. He is fooling America.

There is a thread or two on this ... here on Free Republic too.
LOL!
Thank you for sharing your insights!
Says you, and nobody else. Sarah Palin is a private citizen who, as promised publicly stated her intentions. She owes nothing more to anyone.
I also note your use of the word "admission", negative judgmental verbiage deliberately substituted for the correct "confirmation", lefty talk.
Another rumer here I guess. I would say with the primaries the way they are it is too late for her to enter.
Laos looks with so many front loaded primaries we will know who the nominee is by the end of Feb. or middle of March.
I really don’t see the point of Palin running.
She’s missed the filing date for South Carolina, which was the 1st.
Our choices are for better or for worse, Cain, or Romney. If you don’t want Romney, then Cain is your man.
