Why Are America's Event Planners All Out To Get Sarah Palin?
EXAMINER.COM ^ | 30 AUGUST 2009 | EXAMINER

Posted on 08/30/2009 7:57:14 PM PDT by Extremely Extreme Extremist

Where in the world is Sarah Barracuda Palin? Alaska's sultry superstar has once again mysteriously disappeared right before she was scheduled to speak at one of her very important fundraisers, this one so slutty teenagers who get knocked up have no choice but to have the baby unless they want to get the ol' parental approval for an abortion.

Now normally Sarah's habit of shirking her duties is limited to elected terms in office, but ever since becoming an unemployed publicity hound and Facebook junkie, Palin's erratic behavior has instead metamorphosed into canceling paid speaking engagements at the very last minute while pretending she was never invited in the first place.

But since this is the "fourth time in recent months that an anticipated Palin speech has fallen through after Palin and her camp disputed they had ever confirmed it," loyal Palin spokesperson Meg Stapleton is used to concocting perfectly good explanations for these embarrassing incidents known as the Sarah Palin experience.

“Wasn’t she supposed to speak at the Reagan Library in August?”

The women’s group here in Simi was advertising that Sarah would be here Aug. 8. (We had signs, etc., ready for a pro-Sarah demonstration at the entrance to the Library.) Sarah’s spokesperson said that, although she had been invited to speak, she hadn’t confirmed because she had a schedule conflict.

Similar thing happened for Sarah's so-called appearance at CPAC last February. My husband and I were debating about signing up for the expensive CPAC "Diamond Package" as money is a bit tight this year, but once they announced via e-mail (and on ASU/CPAC's website) Sarah would be speaking, we signed right up - and encouraged other friends to sign up - and couldn't wait to finally see Sarah in person.

Then Sarah's "people" cancelled and/or said she "never confirmed" the appearance. I admit it left a pretty bitter taste in our mouths over the whole thing. Once we got to CPAC everyone was complaining about Sarah being a no-show. They got Rush Limbaugh to show up and give his fabulous speech, and after that, all was mostly forgiven by CPAC attendees.

This article merits a Barf Alert, but I'm sorry to say there's some truth in it regarding Sarah's many mysterious no shows at these big-ticket events. I love Sarah, but she's got to get her act together, or hire a more professional staff, IMO...

“Some will. Many will not. “

Most will, and if there were national enforcement, almost all would.

“Not all illegals are Hispanic. “

The vast majority are.

Look, I have no personal animus towards you. Unless you have lived in California, you can’t possibly understand the destruction illegal immigration has caused, and WILL cause to the entire country if amnesty(with chain migration) is enacted. I lived in the Los Angeles area for 30 years 1976-2006. I watched much of it metamorphose from paradise, to a third world hell hole. California is bankrupt in no small part due to 6 million illegal immigrants(La Raza claims 7 million)

Sarah Palin similarly doesn’t understand the danger, because she has only a handful of illegals in her home state. Sarah is a smart gal, and if she spent 2 days driving through California, she would doubtless be mortified.

The woman who wrote this article is vile and obviously hates Sarah (whom I dearly love), but I am kind of wondering what the heck is going on with her schedule...

She's had some good starts via FaceBook and Twitter, but I want to see more...

I hope Sarah starts showing up at her appearances and knocks 'em dead BIG TIME. That'll be the best way to silence her many critics...

Facebook and Twitter are many times easier than giving speeches on different issues. answering questions on the spot is the toughest. If these are recorded then it could help her or could hurt her. Either way we will know more about her views and positions.

Oh, I think Sarah should definitely keep up with her Facebook entries and Tweets. I just want to see her “out there” more in person... If she’s really effective, she can find ways to smack down her critics via Facebook, Twitter, editorials/articles AND during personal appearances...

I'm so glad you've spoken to her and gotten that straight. Where else could you glean that information? It's just like the many organizations claiming her as a speaker/honoree/whatever! Make a claim, and then wait for everyone to look the other way! It's a DISTRACTION.

Thanks, but no thanks. Sarah has a direct line to her followers. The MSM and Zero have the number, and are listening into her thoughts. Maybe you ought to get on board the train!

*****

Excerpt from 7/3/2009, Sarah Palin resignation:

... "If I have learned one thing: LIFE is about choices!

And one chooses how to react to circumstances. You can choose to engage in things that tear down, or build up. I choose to work very hard on a path for fruitfulness and productivity. I choose NOT to tear down and waste precious time; but to build UP this state and our country, and her industrious, generous, patriotic, free people!

Life is too short to compromise time and resources... it may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: "Sit down and shut up", but that's the worthless, easy path; that's a quitter's way out. And a problem in our country today is apathy. It would be apathetic to just hunker down and "go with the flow".

Nah, only dead fish "go with the flow".

No. Productive, fulfilled people determine where to put their efforts, choosing to wisely utilize precious time... to BUILD UP.

And there is such a need to BUILD up and FIGHT for our state and our country. I choose to FIGHT for it! And I'll work hard for others who still believe in free enterprise and smaller government; strong national security for our country and support for our troops; energy independence; and for those who will protect freedom and equality and LIFE... I'll work for and campaign for those PROUD to be American, and those who are INSPIRED by our ideals and won't deride them." ...

Howdy, FRiend. She's pretty good at straight speaking, from what I've seen so far. I understand that she is currently working on a book, and making plans for the future. We'll see her run, no doubt. Can she win? My bets are placed!

Dude, you are a one horse open sleigh. You ca keep going out the door, as far as I am concerned!

Illegal immigration is a problem. Yes. We agree. You made your immigration points in your original diatribe. Get onto something you can change.

Sarah Palin is writing words on a website to unite CONSERVATIVE AMERICANS. She is advancing the opportunity to take back the White House. If you don't like her, fine. Nobody will care...

But, millions of plain old Americans are listening to her words, not yours. The President in the Oval Office is speaking HER WORDS.

Don't let that door hit you in the ass...

I posted facts. You ignored the facts posted blind hero worship. Don’t argue with me, and expect to win that way. You started it. I finished it. Don’t let the facts hit you in the a$$.

You posted some facts that are PRIME interest to you. So what? That isn't an argument against Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin is not part of the immigration problem.

You are either obsessed, possessed, or just plain distressed, that a simple fisherwoman from Alaska may enter the White House. Your pleas about immigration are but one issue way down my list of priorities. Right now, I'm more concerned with saving America from abject slavery... and millions of Americans agree with me!

I'm trying to help! You're just trying to tear down, it seems. Maybe the door isn't wide enough!

Check my posts on Palin. I have defended her relentlessly against the left and MSM attacks. You started the argument. I posted some facts. You ignored the facts and praised Palin,
then issued insults to me. Sadly for you, you picked the only known flaw we know of in Palin, and tried to defend it. You failed. If Palin is our nominee, I will vote for her, but I don’t jump on bandwagons.

Here's one of the facebook friends on youtube, I screamed laughing when I saw it.

Obama wants to kill Sarah Palin's baby with a death panel and probably mine too.

You are trying to reason with people who have no use for reason...not until one of their own is killed by an alien, even burning down 88,000 acres isn’t enough. I’ve banged my head on that hard wall for the last 6 years over this issue.And I’m even more tired of trying to guess what Sarah Palin thinks.

Don’t ever trust a fund raising org like CPAC.

Sarah’s name is being “used in vain,” and it isn’t likely her fault. I have no use for the party establishment. We need the party, but we do not need them.
