Palin Snubs Republican Women's Convention
Fox ^ | 9/1/09 | Serafin Gomez

Posted on 09/01/2009 5:33:18 PM PDT by pissant

As some of the most prominent Republican women across the country gather next week in Orlando, arguably the most well-known of them will not be in attendance.

Despite an invitation to speak at the conference, Sarah Palin, former vice presidential candidate, and until recently Alaska governor, decided not come to the National Federation of Republican Women's 35th Convention, according to the organization.

An estimated 1,200 Republican women leaders will attend the three day conference, and some of those are want Palin to reconsider.

"It is disappointing," says Barbara Davis, who heads the Melbourne, Fla. chapter." We were hoping that she would come.It would have benefited her to attend."

Since when does AN INVITATION automatically require acceptance?

Answer: Only when the invitation is sent to Sarah.

Very rude and self-serving of this group to make news on the back of Sarah.

She probably “snubs” hundreds of invitations every week. So many invitations, so little time. ;-)

Sarah is 40 something and probably wouldn’t fit in with the elderly Republican women

The status quo hate her because she is a threat to them. Doesn’t matter what party they are with.

The GOP has been neutered.

What are the political facts of life here? They invited her. She declined.

The bad press she has gotten has come from parties that claimed she had accepted invitations then reneged. To my knowledge that isn’t the case here? It’s just a few people upset she didn’t choose their event among the thousand she went through. Tough for them but nothing out of the ordinary.

er... I noticed something, it doesn’t actually use the word snub in the article, just the headline. And the author and ppl who come up with the headline usually not the same person

She has received thousands of speaking invites, and has given how many speeches lately?

“Snub” is truly dishonest.

She can’t accept every invitation. So quit whining, ladies.


They aren’t the first ones turned down and won’t be last. I think she’s pretty busy, you know with house keeping, child rearing, helping the ghost writer, etc. Can’t be running all over creation just to speak for a few minutes, don’tcha know.

“What % are RINOs?”
You read my mind ;-)

Well, I have to get these ideas somewhere! You don't think I think them all up myself, do you?

P.S. Thanks! *\;-)

Not sure. I don’t follow her much. She ain’t my candidate of choice.

Goodness Sarah is doing what Sarah wants to do and not what everyone else wants her to do. Too bad folks. From what I can tell, the Republicans only know how to screw things up. Hear this people, Sarah is her own person, get over it. Watch out boys and ladies, here she comes:

I am voting that Lady Palin, or if you would rather,

Citizen Palin will introduce herself as a Conservative.

Her best sell will be to espouse conservative values and solutions to the political mess in which we find ourselves.

She should encourage and energize conservatives while speaking common sense truth to all that will listen.

If that later means the republicans see her as the one they want to lead them, then she can insist she will lead with her conservative values intact.

Big Government - Beware

Political Party loyalists - Beware

Moderates - Beware

RINOs - Beware
