How is it an "attack" to state the truth? Sarah Palin is not a candidate for the Presidency. That may change in the future (realistically in the next 14 days), but for now, it is 100% accurate and truthful. She's not a candidate.
Seems to me the ones who are all bent out of shape and out-of-touch with reality are those insisting she is a viable candidate. Considering Palin herself has not declared herself as a candidate, makes you look pretty loopy, no?
Oh dear, what will you all complain about once she's official a candidate? Have you formulated your next line of attack yet? ..... TheCornerOffice
I, for one, will not complain at all at that point.
I will congratulate her for having THE GUTS to actually COMPETE.
After that, my praise or criticism will have to do with how she actually PERFORMS in "The Arena".
I have criticized my own preferred candidate for being lazy, overconfident and not putting in the work required to be prepared for the debates. (That would be Perry.)
Once she is a candidate, Palin will then "fly or die" based on her own actual merits as a viable candidate and not on the basis of the imagination of her followers.
What I find intolerable is the fact that Palin's supporters have found excuses to attack every other Republican candidate that has had the guts to get into "The Arena" for no other reason other than the fact that their name was not "Sarah Palin". Yet, Sarah Palin remains in the spectator seats of "The Arena" instead of actually being IN "The Arena".
In case my references to "The Arena" went completely over your head, this is Theodore Roosevelt teaching you something:
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." .....
