Still taking seemingly forever for a breakaway conservative party to materialize.

I, for one, am looking forward to it. There is no hope that the GOP will reflect our values, none.

OTOH why throw your hat in the ring, be attacked by all other candidates, when you can sit on the sideline and accept the nomination for VP at the convention, be rested, ready, reloaded and aiming.

IIRC Sarah did not endorse anyone for the primaries...Closest was Todd’s support of Newt.

SO is her lack of action an action to save her for a nomination with the eventual winner?

Can’t think of any action that would unite the right more. Left would split their gut.

Maybe we should all sent messages to the Romney campaign and demand/suggest it!

I appreciate what you say. As you know, I was never on the bandwagon much beyond Sarah’s magnificent convention speech.
It was a jolt, for me anyway, to see the nearly immediate plummet and downward spiral from magnificence to the total absence of magnificence, or even preparedness for a predictable and guaranteed media assault.

But, your initial comment wasn’t about Sarah, it was about the Left being at fault for the story. It seems to me they reported a fact. Given Palin’s own comments, she has not been invited to the convention.

Maybe she leaked this story, to tap the RINOS on the shoulder and remind them to get on the stick and initiate an invitation. Good for her if she did wrangle a story on it, which I doubt, but this a win for her.

VP AGAIN? No, the only office was President. You don't recycle VPs.

“What can I say?” Palin told Newsweek in an email. “I’m sure I’m not the only one accepting consequences for calling out both sides of the aisle for spending too much money, putting us on the road to bankruptcy, and engaging in crony capitalism.”

“In accepting those consequences,” she added, “one must remember this isn’t Sadie Hawkins and you don’t invite yourself and a date to the Big Dance.”

Sounds like a pox on both your houses. Sarah seems to draw a moral equivalency between both parties being equally responsible. It makes it more difficult to attend the GOP convention if that is truly her position. Why would the Reps invite her to the convention to criticize them?

Maybe the Dems can invite her to their convention to slam the GOP and then the Reps can invite her to slam the Dems.

She did say that about Condi, but in the next sentence said she would prefer someone with “respect for human life,” - that after Greta pointed out that Rice was moderately pro life.

My problem with Rice is her call as SoS for a Palestinian state without forcing Palestinians to accept Israel’s right to exist. She can be moderately pro-life but Roe v Wade isn’t changing anytime soon.

She’s not a politician she’s a commentator. She didn’t run for President. Why would anyone think she deserves to speak at the convention any more than say Rush or Gomer?

You're nuts, right? She's done more to get tea party members in congress then Romney. Romney just can't stand the thought of being upstaged by a real conservative.

LOL!

You’re right that the GOPE Romney crowd doesn’t want her doing anything at the convention but covering it from some remote location.

My complaint is that this no-invitation thing is but one more exclamation point to conservatives from the GOPE that we are OUT and the socialists and useful idiots are in.

Of course, the useful idiot crowd claiming here to be the conservative base by supporting Romney thinking they beat out Obama will be ridicule material soon after the convention.

Thanks.
