Whitney was the first person to notice that the Tea Party keynote address she is scheduled to give in Waukee, Iowa falls on the third the three-year anniversary of her speech at the 2008 Republican National Convention (September 3rd).
The Governor seemed to provide a Preview of her speech in a press release from the Tea Party group:
I’m very excited to join grassroots Iowans at the ‘Restoring America’ event over Labor Day Weekend…Gatherings like this of independent liberty-loving Americans from every walk of life exemplify our commitment to come together to seek solutions to the problems confronting our nation. As I’ve said many times, including at Pella during my last visit to Iowa: We don’t need a ‘fundamental transformation’ of America. We need a restoration of all that is good and strong and free. The 2012 election will be a great debate between those two conflicting visions for our country.
That is a lot of guesswork there. There is no real way to see that happening. All these arguments are based on political strategery and not doing what is right for the country. I have a very low tolerance for the political moves anymore.
She is going to run.
At some point during her campaign, when asked if there is any animus between her and mclame, she ought to just flick her hand like someone brushing a mosquito off her shoulder, toss her hair, wink, smile, and say, “Heck no”.
Can you imagine what the lamestreams would try to read into that?
>>Crying in your beer, still, due to your candidate’s backtracking and apologizing to Muslims today?<<
Does it appear that I am crying into anything when I ask a simple question?
>>What are you going to do when Cain drops out, even before the real primary season takes flight?<<
I am cool with it. Unlike you Saint Palin worshipers, I am not personally invested in my candidate. At this time I think Mr. Cain best represents Conservative principles. I wish he was a bit more aggressive in his campaigning and he has a few mis-steps.
Should Mr. Cain bow out, I will look at the field and decide on the candidate that most closely matches my Conservative values.
The bigger question is what will happen WHEN Gov. Palin continues to not announce, especially with this upcoming event. What will you do? What will you say?
Oh wait, I already know the answer...
Have you got a candidate?
Not really guess work, just ordinary politics, the media would have loved that story, and Palin would be finished, and Obama’s victory would have looked like a fortunate break for the country, as the 2008 ticket was revealed to have been a put on.
>>I have a very low tolerance for the political moves anymore.<<
I guess you didn’t get the memo: To suggest that Gov. Palin might not run is not just predicting, it means you an EVIL LIBERAL TROLL!!
Thou shalt not ever predict that Saint Palin may demur. Keep thine thoughts pure and holy.
There are things that pols do, have to do, as a matter of fact, to not look like a "KOOK", "disloyal", and/or too far over the cliff.
Palin can't "denounce him" ( McLame ),out of hand, right now. And he is irrelevant..........we all know that he is Mr. Mushy"/"cross the aisle and stab GOPers in the back". Sarah knows it too; so does Bristol, for that matter.
Any of the Conservatives running. Cain, Bachmann, Santorum will be just fine with me.
How'd you like his bending waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over to the Muslims today?
You can't be serious. Now you're sarcasm-challenged too?
Geeez, do I have to spell out everything for you? Again? (it ain't like this is our first rodeo)
For me, if Gov. Palin runs, I think that will be interesting. If she gets the nod, I will back her. But to invest so much into a simple probability is a head-scratcher, to say the least.
So, why do you spend so much time on this website endlessly asking people whether she'll run, then alternately declaring (in no uncertain terms) that "she won't"?
I and others here have answered all of your questions about Palin too many times to count, yet you come in here every day, asking the same things, as if they'd just occurred to you. Are you starting to understand why we're all becoming increasingly sarcastic with you?
Post 46 : Thou shalt not ever predict that Saint Palin may demur. Keep thine thoughts pure and holy.
Odd. That sounds snarky and peevish to me. But you aren't personally invested......
Goodnight.
>>Supporting Palin makes far more sense than you supporting Cain, who couldn’t even win a primary, in his own state, and keeps proving that he isn’t ready for prime time; let alone running for president!<<
So you ARE playing “my candidate is better than yours nya nya nya.”
What are you, 12?
Mr. Cain has conservative standards and some tactical minuses. Gov. Palin has conservative standards and some tactical minuses.
Mocking Mr. Cain changes the probability of Gov. Palin running exactly zero. But it does expose you for the child and reverse-PDSer you are.
And with that exposure I need say nothing more.
Cain should never have thrown his hat into the ring! He is completely unprepared for this run, has made more than a few huge gaffs, and today was the worst one! He can't even talk the talk and just proved that he has no "principles" that he won't flip flop on.
You are a political naif, not to mention a liar and a hypocrite.
Thanks.
I like all of them, too. However, not one of them could fill 10 rows in a high school auditorium.
Sarah could fill a football stadium any day of the week. I’ve been in her camp since before she had a camp.
Really Dude? I see that you are cool with the business as usual BS going on. Are you one of the Boner cheerleaders here that think he is doing a fantastic job? He is just working with the established GOP system too.
Personally, I have had enough. The magic Palin had was that she said she was against the so called "Old Boys Network" BS. That was her mission. It is all fine and good unless you don't really believe it. In which case that person should be disregarded. Having your supporters kicked in the teeth and letting it slide isn't good in my book.
I have a feeling that if I bothered to check back posts, you slammed the heck out of Santorum for backing Spector in that race. Would I be right?
>> Are you starting to understand why we’re all becoming increasingly sarcastic with you?<<
What you call sarcasm, intelligent people call evasion.
As I said — when she doesn’t run what will you do? I expect a MASSIVE public bow down to my butt since you can’t seem to separate expectations from desires.
>>You are a political naif, not to mention a liar and a hypocrite<<
And you are merely a fool and a liar. And an idiot. And a liberal troll.
You should have quit when you were behind.
That projection complex, that you are suffering form, has you extremely blinkered to reality.
I stated a fact about what Cain did, I didn't call him any names, explained that this is a major flip flop, which, BTW, had Palin made it, you would have gone nuts over, berating her and her supporters, for months on end, about it. This isn't a "tactical"mishap, for him, at all; it's a disastrous move. This has nothing at all to do with "my candidate is better than yours". That is what YOU play at; not what I even think about, at all, when posting.
The only one acting childish, is you and I'd put your mental and emotional age at 3; not 12.
Have they denounced McCain?
>>Odd. That sounds snarky and peevish to me<<
I will admit to marginally snarky.
I mean, when you say that some event may or may not occur and get personally attacked, what other response makes any sense?
But I admit to allowing myself to be goaded into the public arena of ad hominem. I have no one but myself to blame when I let stupid people use stupid posts and then try to answer their stupidity.
The smart thing would to have reminded myself unto whom I have /vi and kept quiet and let their stupidity speak for itself.
Who is the bigger fool? The fool or the one who lets the fool respond to the fool?
I leave that for others to decide...
