Whither Palin?
American Thinker ^ | August 14, 2011 | Rick Moran

There is a great line in "Godfather III" where the businessman/mob boss Don Lucchesi says, "Finance is a gun. Politics is knowing when to pull the trigger." In politics, timing is everything. And for Sarah Palin, the hammer is cocked, the round is chambered, and she appears ready to make the decision on whether or not to drop the hammer and launch her campaign:

Sarah Palin has left Iowa, her "One Nation" bus tour stopping in Saturday at the birthplace of Ronald Reagan in Dixon, Ill., but looking back on her whirlwind visit to the Iowa State Fair on Friday, and some comments she made in response to reporters, it seems she is not just stringing her indecision out for fun and fame. She appears to be weighing her options and believes that the rules of timing and engagement do not apply to her.

"Each campaign that I have ever run in these 20 years of elective office have been kind of unconventional, right, Todd? We've always been outspent, two-to-one, five-to-one, 10-to-one. Never won any polls heading into election night. But usually won the election. So it would be unconventional and very grass roots."

Palin, who has a small, far-flung staff, some of whom are not experienced in national politics, added, "And I wouldn't be out there looking for hires out of that political bubble that seemed to result in the same old ideas, the same old talking points, the things that Americans get so sick and tired of hearing and kind of suffering through. We want new energy, we want conviction and passion and candidness."

If I had to guess I would say he is not even American.

The Brits are “brand” crazy. Ever listen to BBC, SKY News and read their print?

(Of course you have) There is a lot of focus put on “brands” and “branding”. The subject of “brands” must be big in their educational curriculum.

His About Me page is short and refers only to a Greek. Nothing there that says American. He uses an American flag as default, not a State Flag. I use an American flag because I am in Germany but my page tells those who care that I am from New York.

I could go on about his mental state (spamming) but I don’t want to be insulting to the British, LoL! Suffice it to say, that many of them have a serious dislike of Christians and conservatives.

To make a big deal and spam what Bristol said: “Some things just need to stay in the family” - shows a weak and diseased mind.

That is why I say seek help.

He (or she) is also very jealous of Palin’s wealth.

That’s not mentally healthy.
