Don’t have a link offhand, but that’s what she responded to a reporter when asked about her timetable when she was out at the Iowa State Fair last month. Basically, she admitted the reality that if she didn’t get in by early October, that it wouldn’t be fair to her supporters to ask them to wait any longer.
Also note that she had brief meetings with the O4P folks on both that trip and the one on Sept. 3. In neither case did she do anything to discourage their efforts.
Its called courtesy. When adults are having an adult discussion, they prefer to avoid the stale cliched whining of some fair-weather blowhards.
Courteous people generally avoid repeating the same thing over and over again ad nauseam. They also don’t engage in juvenile button pushing devil’s advocate mental breakdowns in front of people they just met.
You know, you can learn a lot more about courtesy in the cub scouts. Have you considered joining?
Oh, and thanks for having some manners and being willing to bridge differences. You might want to teach TexasGunRunner a thing about that....
Imagine the irony of someone trying to teach courtesy lessons, in the very same message in which he is insulting.
Imagine that irony.
Isn't Irony Ironic?
So long as I know who I’ve supported I am ok with myself.
It’s possible to check threads and find out what’s been posted in the past 4 years since the last election.
I was a Perry supporter in 1990. I pushed voter cards for him in Beaumont and Houston. I voted for him in every statewide election in which he ran.
He’s better than Romney, and they are both better than zero. That isn’t saying much.
If we get Perry, we loose a great opportunity and the status quo (including obamacare) will be cemented in place forever.
I believe the principle players in my 'beef' on this thread, and I, have likely worked things out -- with the help of DJ MacWow, who knows me fairly well, and who I respect.
So, I don't see why we need to slug away at one another, especially:

Perry, meh, but better than Romney. Romney, oh God, we're in trouble.
Not likely. Fortunately for you, I live in Maryland so it really doesn’t matter who I vote for. The only way I can show my support or non support is with my money. That I plan to do.
Well, with such a witty comeback like that...what can I say?
The real irony is not 15 minutes ago you were bragging about your new hobby being to irritate people gratuitously. Given your reaction to my posts, that seems really funny now you obviously don’t enjoy similar treatment.
In case you missed the common theme of my posts, I think your posts were incredibly immature and designed to stifle real conversation.
If you disagree with people fine, voice your opinion. If they tick you off, you can tell them so...although hopefully without resorting to grade school taunts.
Not that you care, but I don’t think you’re a troll, and I imagine you are generally a right thinking, intelligent person, or you wouldn’t be on FR.
Actually she has not said anything of the sort. Any reference to any statement that she would make a decision in Late August or Early September was shown to me to be nothing more than the AP reporter interpreting a vague statement that she gave to Hannity.
I don't think you can show me an exact quote from Palin that she will announce a decision "by the end of September, or early October at the latest." She hasn't committed to anything. But, like this radio stunt, she does seem to have no problem with letting the rumors fester.
I've got some greater respect for her RIGHT THERE. At least she's sensitive to that! That's very cool. I really hope she runs; I do fear she won't. I'd like to see her at least assemble her team in the next two weeks.... or else I gotta take down this poster about Sarah:
I guess we’re all in agreement here now. Everyone kiss and make up.
Palin more celebrity than politician at Iowa State Fair - August 12, 2011
Does she plan to make a run for president? There will be an announcement sometime in September or October.Whom does she support of the current candidates seeking the Republican nomination? It's too early to say.
Is there even room for more candidates, such as Rick Perry or herself, in the race? The more the merrier.
HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST THAT WE..... oh, wait. Sorry. LOL
Golly Laz. I’m sorry. I thought you knew she had given a time frame of end of Sept early Oct. I’d have told you if I had known you didn’t know.
Which candidate loves you? Run Sarah, run!
Look, a lot of Palin supporters are not going to like this, but I don’t think she’s going to run. I can’t understand why she’d want to. Me, if I could have any job in the world, it’d be Supreme Court Justice. What a great, cushy, for life job.
I think Palin supporters are the life of this party. They have admired and stood by her since the beginning. It made it okay to vote for McCain. I think they have been treated horribly by the Perry supporters
I have issues with Perry, including the Dream Act and Gardasil, which I believe everybody around here would be screaming about if a Rat had done the same things, but the real problem I have is with his supporters. That may be wrong but, there it is.
Talk about positions she holds on government. They don't.
Like I said, I think we should de-escalate this, just letting you see my side.
