1) She knows she can't win.
2) There's more money to be made as a political celebrity.
Most of those look like reasons ‘you’ want her to run which is an easy list for you to make.
Did you see Newt and Santorum were suspended from FNC?
I get tired of this from ppl here from all spectrums. Whether you support Romney or Huckabee or Paul or Palin. I respect your right to do so. But what I don't do is personally insult you or denigrate your candidate. Don't you think there is enough division in this country as it is? Do we Conservatives really need to "eat our young"?
Frankly, I am getting tired of people who get off on being in opposition for opposition sake. It just gets old.
pissant, you earned my respect in the aftermath of the shooting in Tucson where you came to Palin's defense. I thought that was classy.
Flame on, I WILL most likely read every post to me as I will not dismiss anyone's right to say what they want. But I ask that you don't insult me personally since you do not know me, nor do you know what I believe. Try to stick to the salient points.
This country stands on freedom of speech. You may not like it that people who do not worship your candidate as you do feel freedom to state their case. They have their own reasons that maybe you do not consider. That does not make them right and you wrong.
The lovely part is that we can all have an opinion, express it, campaign, debate and agree to come together or go our own way later.
I voted for McCain/Palin, I also respect why Freepers decided not to vote for them. I understand and respect their opinion. The real question here is why would we have only Palin threads that do not allow those to post any opposing opinion.
The wonderful thing about America is that opinion makes us better and free.
Right on, indy. Couldn’t agree more.
Here's a something you probably didn't think of. Let's say the impossible happens and in eight months Palin announces she has deeply considered a run but decided now is not the time because of : health, family considerations, attacks by the left , losing out on $$$$ (OK. she won't use that one LOL) .... much like another speech she gave???
There is no NO excuse she can use, that some here can try to argue, that can explain her NOT running after #50 copied above.
You didn't ask me, but I'll tell you anyway. I visit these threads because it's interesting, in a train-wreck sort of way, to watch the slobbering adulation directed toward Ms. Palin. Who will she be compared to this time? Joan of Arc? Mother Theresa? George Washington? Genghis Khan?
Here we learn that Ms. Palin has been "sent by God to take back America." The theological implications of such a statement are rather profound. Is she one of the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11? Is she Jesus Christ?
And really -- once we've got to this point, is it possible to go any higher? I wait and watch, and taunt as the mood strikes me.
I think this post is blasphemous — hope the mods have noticed and are taking appropriate action.
well, onyx gal. Add me the ping list. For Sarah.
Hope we have a NH ping list later in the year.
Aside from a few needed corrections on punctuation and so forth, that is absolutely PERFECT, Techno.
Well done, and all true!
Has she ever claimed such a thing?
Sarah herself has never come right out and said that, but anyone who's listened to her carefully over the last few years, or has read her books, could easily come to that conclusion.
From the first moment I saw her, I knew that there was something different about her. Something which transcends mere politics, or even her many excellent personal attributes. Call it the It Factor, if you will, or a certain aura she has. There is just something about the woman that calls to our higher selves.
In looking over her life's story, it's hard not to come to the conclusion that she has been on something of a divine mission for most of her life, and that she is destined to lead this nation back from the brink of destruction.
I know how hyperbolic that may sound, but I'm simply relating what I've perceived about her. I'm sorry, but it's that apparent to me.
Sarah Palin strikes me as someone who could be described as an emissary of the Framers. She's a throwback to the type of people who founded this great country, and bears much in common with them, including the selflessness and the courage to commit herself entirely to the restoration of America, no matter what it takes.
If she doesn't take the oath of office in January 2013, I fear for the future of our beloved country.
