Yep, I remember!

Sarah is running, so we’ll have to see how the primaries all shake out!

My prayers and hopes remain with her!

[luvie]

Why? Because they are scared to death of her!

That’s why.

Woo-Hoo and BTTT.

Sarah Palin will *Fight Like A GIRL* which causes Frum and his RINO buddies a whole of grief!

[GlockLady]

Kraut just said that he now understands how smart Perry was for waiting - lets other candidates beat each other up first.
What an intellect!

[trisham]

Run Sarah, run!

One of the advantages of waking up in the middle of the night is to able to watch Gregg's show.

David who? Where is he Frum?

[dagogo redux]

I’ll say it again:

Only Palin truly satisfies, and I will vote for her.

I would follow her into the gates of Hell if she would lead. If we are to die, let us die with our boots on.

[LaybackLenny]

Can I get an AMEN?!

Well said, my FRiend.

That’s not how I feel about it. She had done what a good executive must do during a time of waiting: she is managing expectations. She has told us the decision must come sometime in September. Therefore
, the announcement will come no later than sometime in September. Meanwhile, she has had ample opportunity to set us free to rally around another, yet refuses to do so, and leaving our Iowa personnel, with whom she has now spoken directly, with the distinct impression she is running. Our mission, then, is not to worry whether she will or won’t, but to recruit and otherwise prepare. The stress some are experiencing is self-induced. Read the signals, accept the obvious, and keep building the city. Do not be distracted by the Sanballats and Tobiahs. Any ordinary politician, doing what she is doing, would not be questioned. The dripping doubt is rooted in the Palin 2.0 meme (a once Good Palin has become the new Evil Palin). This meme was created as a backup plan after her pre-2008 character was vindicated, to dampen the enthusiasm that would ordinarily accompany an unofficial campaign, to take people out of the game who otherwise would be early boots on the ground, recruiting, volunteering, and otherwise preparing the field of battle. Don’t fall for it. She needs us working now, not waiting till two or four weeks from now. Stay the course.

LOL!!! WOO-HOO! ^5 !!!

Without your link on the FReepathon thread, I wouldn't have known this FRUMp thread is residing in the *smokeybackroom*!

Unfortunately, Sarah Palin makes a lot of women feel badly about themselves. ...........and many men inadequate.

[ncalburt]

Well weasel Kraut thinks he is brilliant.
Why is this former employee of Walter Mondale and a registered Dem considered a conservative ?

[LaybackLenny]

Ouch...that’ll leave a mark!
