I appreciate your response and am glad I had an opportunity to have said what I did in my posts here and then to have received a kind word in response. Thanks, and hopefully we’ll be talking to one another on some other FR threads where we will both be working together for some good conservative causes! Thanks again.
PERFECT! Sounds good to me and nice to converse with ‘normalcy’. Thank you!
“Get my drift?”
Yep, I’d say you’ve been adrift in a thick fog for some time now and lost your bearings a long while back!

Well, normal is a little out of my range sometimes, (you must not have seen all my FUMRs today) but it WAS nice just to talk, wasn't it! LOL
It was a late announcement. A few debates had taken place already, and voters wanted to decide.
You're engaging in a form of affirming the consequent here. You're basically saying that the candidates were hurt because of (deferred) support of Palin. Since the candidates weren't hurt, then Palin had no support.
I Would tend to think it's a bit more complicated than that.
Yep, I’m an ol’ retired fart and have plenty of time to keep up, especially the in-person interviews. I’ve heard two or more refusals to commit in just one show. I don’t do Facebook, nor have I ever heard her say anything about Facebook either. You sure talk big for an uninformed pipsqueak...kinda like a yappy house dog!
JC
I don’t think it’s more complicated. Why were people so upset after she announced she wasn’t running, and why did people show up in Iowa to see her speech around Labor Day? Because they thought she was running, and refrained from getting excited about the other candidates. Palin milked it to the end.
“She was misleading her supporters, moron.”
A minor child makes a guess and you take that as a commitment? Do you also read tea leaves and chicken bones or are just highly impressionable? Betcha they like you at the carnival ring-toss booth! HAW

Your post makes no sense.
Yes, but how does "excitement" change the quality or quantity of the pool of candidates.
Look, I know people are upset about this, and they want to assign blame and damages. I'll concede blame. She made the decision and she has to live with. I'm sure she realizes that. But there are really no damages here.
As far as "milking it," i just think that's your anger talking. I listened to her interview with Mark Levin, and I'm satisfied that she didn't. I think she had some serious security concerns that outweighed everything. Who am I to tell her to put her family second.
I would think that anyone who really respected her, would listen to what she says and take her at her word. That doesn't mean that people aren't entitled to feel the way they do. She's a big girl, she made the decision, and she has to live with it, criticism and all...but I think a lot of it is way over the top, and it says more about the person making it than it does about Sarah Palin.
Her true supporters took her at her word that she had not made up her mind yet. You fools and the lamestreammedia would not even believe your own mother, and you persisted in indulging in wild speculation and innuendo....you still do, even today! HAW

“Yes, but how does “excitement” change the quality or quantity of the pool of candidates.”
Because the voters were more familiar with Palin than Bachmann, Cain, or Perry. They may not have bothered to listen to them much, hoping that Palin was going to be running. Her daughter said last summer, that her mother definitely knew whether or not she was running. No one would have cared about “Undefeated” or some of her speeches if she wasn’t going to be running.
Again, how does this change the pool of candidates. If your definition for harm is minor changes in the dynamics of the race, which is obvious, then you're not really saying much.
Get one of your normal, less superstitous friends to ‘splain it to you!
JC
regardless of your pick for now, the same could be said of them.
Good luck trying to reason with that fool, Politics4us, he hasn’t made any sense all night here, but he has found an imagined slight to complain about and wants to bitch to anyone who will listen. My patience has about run out!
JC
A lot of people are venting right now. I have a fairly low threshold too, but hey, you do what you can, hope that it sinks in, and move on...
