How many times are they going to write her obituary?

[freekitty]

If she was on Fox I never saw her but once.

[The Cajun]

But Palin, with her flamboyant rhetoric.....

Yup, belief in the Lord, sanctity of human life, the constitution, honor and honesty are all flamboyant rhetoric.

Pound sand Jill Lawrence.

[Buddy Sorrell]

They will write her obit millions of times. They fear her.

[cableguymn]

As many times as it takes...

I suspect shes just gearing up for a stronger attack. Fox has been keeping their “commentators” limited in what they can say I am sure.

If you support the tea party, do not let yourself be worn down by the establishment. Every election, local, state, and federal, is a fight for the country.

[Maurice Tift]

  So the press is saying that conservatism and the tea party movement are kaput - again? I guess they're relieved that they have nothing to worry about in 2014.

  and they're not even afraid of Obamacare's death panels...

  but they should be.

[Cowboy Bob]

The author mentions the "demise of the Tea Party," but doesn't provide any facts to support the declaration. The refusal of conservatives to vote for Mitt Romney does not signal the demise of a movement, only a refusal to compromise a moral position (i.e., Tea Party members are not politicians!).

If the Tea Party movement has indeed faded, as the author claims, how does the she explain the surge on gun sales?

[GeronL]

Since when did the TEA Party depend on the MSM??

Wishful thinking from a leftist no doubt

[savagesusie]

They keep trying to convince us she is GONE and not worth listening to-—when I think she is one of the most logical and Feminine woman out there. Such a refreshing contrast to the dykey, immoral, lying Hillary......they hate the contrast with all the creepy, slimey, ugly, Flukey Leftists.

Got to remove women who love themselves, their femininity who have manly men, and reject the obscene view that women are interchangeable with men.

.....I don’t watch Fox anyway-—quit when the Saudis bought shares and they started calling the Muslims “Youths”-—the ones burning all the cars. Just covering up the Truth-—like the other networks. Fox News is part of the Hegelian Dialectic-—to Progress us to the Left. It is helping to boil the water for the death of God and God-Given Rights.

Otherwise, they would be much more effective with getting the Truth out, because logic and reason and sanity is on Palin’s side. They confuse and blur the issues too much. They hate people like Palin-—who can make great soundbites.

[knarf]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh .....

She's re-loadin'

[itsahoot]

The two were talking in particular about losing Senate candidates Todd Akin of Missouri and Richard Mourdock of Indiana, both of whom made inflammatory (and in Akin’s case, flagrantly ignorant) comments about rape.

But we don't talk about the GOPe Romney that was at the top of the ticket huh Bobby?

[patriot08]

A beautiful woman and a true patriot.

[MissMagnolia]

Um, Jill .... my guess is that Sarah is ‘reloading’. On Fox, she was preaching to the choir so you’re really not going to like it when she starts going to work on you Lefties. Something else .... keep thinking the Tea Party is ‘fading’ .... we love it when the enemedia gets ambushed by their own stupidity.

[Redmen4ever]

And whom did Sarah Palin endorse in Missouri? Was it maybe ... Sarah Steelman? As for Indiana, I put that one on the doorstep of former U.S. Senator Richard Lugar, and for his losing touch with the base of the party. I’m surprised the National Journal didn’t blame our failures to pick up Senate seats in Montana and North Dakota on Palin, not to speak of Romney’s failure to defeat Obama.

[driftless2]

At this moment Jill Lawrence probably has a Sarah Palin voodoo doll and is sticking pins in it. And she probably has a Tea Party Gadsden flag on a wall and throws darts at it in her spare time.

[PaleoBob]

Besides which and such, FOX News has no more relationship to the tea party movement than MSLSD or any of the rest of the LSM drones. Puh-leeeeez, lamer lib National Journal lady. Get a clue.

[PaleoBob]

“...The news that Sarah Palin will no longer be a paid contributor to Fox News puts an exclamation point on the end of an era, or at least a chapter, in U.S. political history. She could land somewhere else, and she still has her Facebook friends, but it’s hard to imagine she’ll find a more visible or influential platform than Fox.... “

---

Flip the context and the same lamer lib National Journal lady would NEVER under ANY circumstance concede that Fox has ANY influence whatsoever.

[Diogenesis]

This was arranged by the GOPe comprising Rove, Romney, Powell
and the other Soros-Obama plants.

[Timber Rattler]

Well, the ugly truth is that Palin lost a tremendous amount of political momentum and much of her grassroots infrastructure (best seen in such sites as Organize4Palin and Conservatives4Palin) when she told Mark Levin that she was not running for President. Those groups and others are still around, but much of their energy and membership has simply dissipated over the past year. Moreover, PalinTV (which was a strong effort to bypass the MSM and to get Palin's unedited words directly out to the public) no longer has its own web presence but is now just a Youtube channel. I'm not sure that she will ever be able to recover what she has lost by her decision, unless she runs for and wins Begich's seat in 2014, which would revitalize her political standing and give her a springboard for 2016.

As far as the TEA party movement goes, it is in fact in some disarray now, mostly at the hands of the corrupt, crooked, GOP-E, which fought it harder than the Rats. Since Palin chose not to run, it did not have any real leaders to coalesce around, and was successfully infiltrated by GOP-E hacks and operatives, who then tried to direct its energy to Team Romney. I remember some of FR's resident chest beaters claiming two years ago that the TEA party was self-sustaining and did not need any leaders. Well, that has proven to be wrong-headed, and so here we are, stuck with Obama for four more years (or more), and a fetid, feckless GOP-E now doing his bidding in Congress.
