Sarah Palin represents the clearest attempt to try to effect change in DC from the outside. That why she had,and still has, my complete support.
John Boehner would still be crying in the minority corner today if it were not for what Sarah did for the GOP in 2010.
I too am tired of the armchair warriors still taking pot shots at one who fought in the arena for three years, Sarah Palin.
Enough.
Some people blame her or are simply crushed that she didn't fight more.
I don't know all of the forces behind her decision, but I'm sure they were more than considerable.
I respect her decision. It's a loss for our culture and our society, but maybe we need to do more ground work to pave the way for more Sarah Palins in the future.
I hadn’t really given it much thought, but you are right.
Mention Mrs. Palin’s name and some Troll will respond with, “Get Over It, She’s Not Running”.
Free Republic certainly has a hefty helping of Trolls and Liberal Lurkers waiting to pounch on your words.
Personally, I hope Sarah Palin changes her mind and enters the race soon.
There are currently NO acceptable GOP candidates, and I do not look forward to another 4 years of the Marxist in the White House.
Maybe there are folks that simply dislike her on a personal level.
Couldn’t it be no more complicated than that? A simple visceral personal dislike?
Another superior intellect is heard from. Joe, is that you?

As a former Palin supporter, I will agree that is the LEAST of what happened, and the MOST charitable explanation.
The least charitable is that she ran and hid from the death threats. I believe that's REALLY what happened. And sadly, we cannot have a president with that kind of cowardice, so she's now unqualified in my mind.
Lots, and lots of Mitt flacks in disguise.
Mitt is the Alinsky.
All of the nasty campaigning is coming from Romney. Romney is the problem. Imo.
Romney = Occam’s Razor.
I have all 4 on Kindle.
Agreed. Because there is no perfect candidate, we should respect the "11th Commandment." Frankly, I'm very suspicious of anyone who comes here and starts bashing other Republicans. If I prefer one candidate over another, I will emphasize the good points of my candidate rather than throwing knives at yours. At times it seems we are standing in a circle and shooting at each other. The target here is not another Republican candidate, or his supporters. The target is the current occupant of the White House. Let's try to keep our priorities straight.
Because it’s easier to do that than to admit the rest of the field has been rather unimpressive.
You post this, and then proceed to tell the guy you're posting to how stupid he is? The irony is strong in you it is.
Boy, oh boy! Get to the bomb shelter immediately! Incoming attacks are imminent!!!...I’d still lean towards my opinion, but thanks for having the guts to venture into hostile territory.
Some of the worst vitriol I saw directed at Palin came from some of her most most ardent supporters here on FR, on the day she announced she would not seek the nomination.
Thirteen months before the election is "last minute?" Do you ever read your own posts and think about whether they make any sense?
I have never considered her decision as cowardice, never felt she led people on, and hold no ill thoughts toward how she handled herself.
I wish her well, hope she continues in her quest to help conservatives get elected, and want her to succeed in all she does.
She was a lightning rod for all of us, got (and still gets) in the face of the left when few others would. Kudos to her and her family.
I am a fourth of the way through his latest, Castigo Cay.
I had no idea what I was missing, and I love it!
Reminds me of the early Travis McGee novels in a way, and I am glad, for a while I thought the Doc Ford series was to be the modern day Travis McGee but Randy White seems to be losing his touch or style.
Definitely getting all his books on the Kindle.
Travis McGee if you read this thread I am sorry I put off buying your work, I swear I will pass on the good word from now on, and thanks.
FUF! (you can figure that one out. Yes you can!)
