Why Sarah Palin really might run for office again
Yahoo! News / The Christian Science Monitor ^ | October 29, 2014 | Peter Grier

Sarah Palin says all the criticism from 'those haters out there ... invigorates me.' A majority of Americans say they've heard enough from her, but she has a base of committed supporters, and even some Democrats say they want her to run.

Will Sarah Palin really run for office again? On Tuesday she said she might. In an interview with the Fox Business network, the ex-VP candidate said that her critics haven’t driven her away from politics. In fact, they energize her, she said.

“Bless their hearts, those haters out there, they don’t understand that it invigorates me.... The more they’re pouring on, the more I’m going to bug ... them by being out there with a voice, with a message, hopefully running for office in the future, too,” Ms. Palin said.

Look, we know that a Palin candidacy for any position is out of the question at the moment. She seems focused on “politainment," the business of combining political positions with entertainment production values. She’s putting more energy into her online TV channel than positioning for the 2016 presidential election....

Why write hundreds of thousands of articles about someone so inconsequential? My brain hurts.

Yahoo News is an oxymoron.

God sometime uses the weak and stupid things of this world to confound the “wise”. I would not be surprised if Palin was God’s “man” for the hour. Sorry, just sayin.....

To Sarah Palin, somewhere out there...

Sarah, I love you, but how are you going to run, when you know the reprobate Left and MSM will not come after you BUT WILL come after your family like the mafia.

These guys know your family is your weak spot. You know they don’t care about what’s right, moral, or fair. You know they will go to any lengths and any depths of depravity to bring any and/or all members of you family down any way they can.

Yes, America needs you. I don’t know if you’ll run. I hope you do, but I don’t want your family to be destroyed. I don’t think they will be, but you might be for their sake. If you do this, YOU’VE GOT TO STARE THE ENEMY DOWN AND HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY and those renegades that threaten them.

But as many know, or should know, your running, like Reagan’s running, is a short-term solution. America also needs the American People to stand up and take back their country and demand that politicians cut government or they’ll be thrown out. We know that you’ll agree that the ultimate, long-term solution is not in politicians but in the American People taking back their country, ensuring that it will be politically profitable for the wrong guy in office to do the right thing, and vigilantly throwing out the bums who do not.

I think she’s going after Murkowski two years from now. She and the Murkowskis have a long-standing animosity.

Didn’t Van Jones recently admit the DNC was scared shiftless after her 2008 convention speech...?

She toyed and teased us in 2011-12 with the “promise” of running for prez. She didn’t. Too much dirt would be flung at and because of her family.

And now?

The only press she’s gotten in the last 60 days is all about her drunken family brawl.

Oh yeah. And her endorsement of a liberal democrat and a pro-abort Independent.

Sarah is the new Ann Coulter. Former conservative darling - now goofy dingbat.

Why apologize for stating that which you believe? Many FReepers have expressed this same thought.

Now, about the word "stupid"...

That's at least twice. Did you read it somewhere or think it up by yourself?

So, another PDS mantra to add to the growing list of disparaging (and wrong-headed) comments?

That’s original with me.

But you can steal it. Use it as your tagline. I don’t care.

Very possible. Women being the emotional creature that they are can get carried away and part of me feels like she may be. Maybe doing the right thing for the wrong reasons. Almost seems a bit goofy for her to throw in now, after all the teasing the last six years.

I like Sarah, but there’s too much emphasis on political candidates these days and not enough emphasis on the America People making life difficult for shyster politicians who money grab, expand government, and promote their own political future.

That may be all it is.

But it is apparent to me that what was done to the Palins at that party and how ABC, CNN and other idiots have mistreated her family in this one instance has her flashing her mamabear claws.

I suspect one or more "liberals", as she has said, may live to regret their foolish libels and slanders against her family members.

Now you've gone to the silly side. No thanks.
