So true. And most Palin supporters do not behave that reprehensible way. There is a small minority of Palin supporters on here who (very recently) are very rude on Herman Cain threads (and others) and are out to cause nothing but trouble(which makes me believe at least some of them may not be Palin supporters at all, but closet DU types who feel threatened about a Cain nomination against their "Messiah".). Just a hunch.

At any rate, Gov. Palin is solid and so are most of her supporters here on FR. Very best to them. ;-)

I hope we get the Chance to find out.
Can the Greatest Country on the Face of the Earth face Extinction because its People continue to Elect Candidates who Profoundly Hate the Country they were elected to serve?
Where as we speak thousands are fighting and Dying for the Freedoms we hold so dear but the so called leaders barely find time to mention them,between their Golf Games and foreign trips to Bow and scrape beore People who want to destroy us.
As for the 60% of the Idiots who allow themselves to be lead by the String in their nose,I have Nothing but Contempt,I will not Refuse to consider a Candidate who a few Years ago excited AMERICANS who love their Country so much they voted for the Bottom of the Ticket Not the top,unfortunately alarge portion of that 60% you are talking about fell for a America Hating Radical because they were to Lazy to find out anything about him except for slick Bumper stickers,what has Hoe and Change gotten them.
Screw the Polls Wake the Hell up and Fight for what you believe dont settle for the Brain washing of the Media,while you still can

Clearly are either being provocative, mockingly so or you have not been paying attention , but this one little dig againts Palin supporters who think that no one should be running and should be standing on the sidelines waiting for Sarah is nothing compared to what Palin supporters have posted on Cain threads. There aren’t many that I know of that a Palin supportor hasn’t not just attacked Cain but said things that were just vile. More than a few times I’ve seen were the moderator came had to come in. One example I can think of was a Palin support say that “Cain smelled like Obama.” Wasn’t that classy?

I can tell you one thing there isn’t any Palin thread were you will find a Cain supporter attacking her.

Palin may run or she may not, but as I asked on another post; With Sarah not having declared as of yet what kind of person who is confident enough in themselves and their skills and abilities to run for and hold the office of POTUS would wait around to hat in hand to see if another candidate is going to run or not?

I’ll tell what kind the KIND that doesn’t deserve the office. If you plan to run you run! And you give it all you have! A person who plans to hold the office of POTUS shouldn’t be waiting on no one!

What brought about a Palin attack on this thread?

Wasn't a Palin attack. I knew that sooner or later, some Palinstinian would hobble onto the thread and make the accusation, so I figure I'd beat them to the punch.

"I’ll tell what kind the KIND that doesn’t deserve the office. If you plan to run you run! And you give it all you have! A person who plans to hold the office of POTUS shouldn’t be waiting on no one!"

Why would Sarah Palin jump in early like everyone else is? I mean, why would she give the slimes in the liberal obama butt kissing lame stream media even one second more time to beat up on her?

You have to know that the minute she steps forward the Palin hating creeps and obama's butt kissing lame stream media will come out of the woodwork and try to tear her apart. It will be like a school of Piranhas on a wild crazy feeding frenzy and they would leave everyone else who's running alone. I think if Palin is running, she's doing the smart thing by waiting. Look at how the slimes in obama's lame stream media tripped over themselves, crying about how hard it was to follow Sarah around on her bus tour, trying to find some little something they could use to trash her with. And they forgot everyone else even existed!

Anyway, why not let the liberal obama butt kissing lame stream media have time to tear down some of her competition for her? Why not force the haters to wait for the prized calf they're so fixated on slaughtering?

And then again, maybe Sarah's not even going to run. Either way, she drives those who hate her crazy! Brilliance!

: The kind that is famous for winning against the odds, Palin is known as a campaigner that knows how to use strategy to win elections, that is how she managed to overcome the GOP establishment in Alaska and become one of the few conservative victories in 2006. It is her campaign expertise that keeps pushing Romney to the back of the bus without her declaring yet.

I don't believe that you are being honest when you claim to see a passive person that is sitting around with hat in hand, I think that you probably read or turn on the TV, or talk to people in society and that you know differently from what you are claiming to think. Dominating the election news is not quietly sitting around with hat in hand.

‘Beating to the punch’ is what a troll would say, you interjected Palin into the thread by throwing that uncalled for bomb out.

"I'm hearing a lot of this and just keep wondering, what Sarah has over Herman? Is it personally just loyalty to her, or what?"

I can't speak for anyone else but for me they're like two pees in a pod. Both Sarah Palin and Herman Cain are true to the bone conservatives who love this country and her people with a purity of heart that we haven't seen since President Reagan.

You can see it in their eyes. They truly love this country. Both of them, both Palin and Cain believe in something bigger then themselves. They believe in America. They have faith in God and faith in us.

If Sarah runs she's got my vote partially because of loyalty but also because she was in politics, making it all the way up the ladder to Governor of the great state of Alaska and has several years of political experience. She led her state fighting the oil companies and won! She will kill obamacare, let us drill baby drill and she will let us protect our boarders!

If Sarah Palin doesn't run then Herman Cain has my vote in his hand because of all the business experience he's had. His leadership in coming in and turning around a failing business making it a leader is what we need in Washington. He too will kill obamacare, let us drill baby drill and let us protect our boarders!

My perfect dream team -

Ironically, your tagline sort of proves my point.

What is it with you? I was clearly talking about the other candidates. If they have the ‘fire in the belly’ they need to run and run hard and worry about Sarah or any other potential candidate when they declare.

If someone is holding off their run for POTUS and they are holding back because they want to wait and see what Sarah does DOES NOT DESERVE TO HOLD THE OFFICE. Thats what I clear meant and wrote. Not everything is about Sarah and again I say anyone standing around hat in hand wait to see what Sarah Palin does, DOES NOT DESERVE TO HOLD THE OFFICE. Though that’s exactly what so many Palin supporters think everyone should do, that they should wait and see what Sarah does.

Then I don’t get your post, who is or shouldn’t be waiting around with hat in hand? Did I say something about somebody should not have announced, or should not be running?

DUH! That’s what the orginial ‘dig’ you complained about was about, it was about how many Palin backers hate anyone who is running. That everyone running is only doing so to hurt Palin.

Then you turn my answer about how anyone wanting to run needs to run into a ‘slam’ against Palin. About how Palin isn’t stand ‘hat in hand’ but I clearly wasn’t talking about Palin I was talking about others either running or thinking about running.

Clearly everything anyone post you view through Palin glasses.

Re: Your tagline: Generic Democrat was beating Bush pretty good in 2003-04. Luckily the Dems chose Generic Massachusetts Democrat instead as their nominee.

I think every time generic Republican does well in a poll, Tim Pawlenty sits back and smiles.

Thanks for your honest reply.

I once had an enthusiasm for Sarah Palin. Acutally, it started a few months before her vp bid.

She lost me in 2010, when she put loyalty to John McCain over loyalty to the Tea Party and its values. We will dearly pay for that for six years.

Agree. Cain has experience creating jobs. He understands the factors of production. He gets what macro econ is. The rest do not except for a man who likes lib healthcare.
