Sir, no one here including you is a bigger fan of Sarah Palin and my posts (scores) on the subject over time prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt.
As we both know too, she was so viciously attacked over such a long period of time that the adjective “Palinized” came into being to describe such leftist attacks.
My point in the writing your commenting on simply was that I believe the lefties are out to “Palinize” Cruz now and we should all gird ourselves for that.
Regarding the picture of the bus, I can only surmise that you are suggesting that it proves her intent to run for President. No argument that she “intended” to.
I think too that “the threat” to Sarah (that u spoke of) and I have written this on FR more than once, was Gabby Gifford being shot. Like Gabby, Sarah had little security if any sometimes and I believe her family at that point just ceased to support her aims to run for President and I think that was a wise decision because Sarah is much too special a person to be shot down in a parking lot like poor Gabby! This is to say nothing of the VALUE her consistent voice brings to the Conservative movement each day.
The question then becomes “will Cruz become, at some point, similarly intimidated?” Uh, running for President is a very dangerous thing to do! Just ask George Wallace relatives.
I think not. I could be wrong but I think Cruz is absolutely committed to go all the way and will not be intimidated. I hope so at least.
