11. no longer obedient, belonging, or accepted and hence not controllable or answerable.

I have been saying since she left the Governorship and El-Rushbo may smell it too because he keeps warning against it. She is going independent IMHO, I can feel it in my gut. Just like I spotted her hear over 2 years ago, and called that it would be her as VP last May....

She won't have to answer to the blue blood country clubbers, spineless self appointed debutantes, and posers of all persuasions, she is going to do it her way, fueled by the American Spirit.

"She is going independent IMHO, I can feel it in my gut."

Then you're not paying attention. She is doing her best to build bridges within the party, not to wreck it.

Things change, the times change and political parties change.

I bailed on the Republican party when they ran Dole. I should have left earlier, but I could still hear Reagan's quotes in my head and was still grateful to him. None the less, as an independent I still vote republican, even though my hearts not in it. I find it harder and harder to continue to vote for the lesser evil, for a party that's an empty shell of what was once the party of Reagan. This last election was the worst, with the only good part being Sarah Palin.

I've heard Rush talking about the curse of the third party since Perot, but Perot came across as a lunatic, a hand grenade with a bad haircut. And we'd already had 12 years of Republicans who were running against a fresh face: smooth talking Bill Clinton. I think Clinton would have won regardless.

And now? Now there is a very large percentage of Americans who don't affiliate with either major party or any party. We are hungry for someone who is saying what we are thinking and saying amongst ourselves. We long for another cross over candidate like Reagan as we are disgusted with all the offerings from the demonrats and the rinos. Those two parties have killed themselves and they deserve to die. People mostly vote for one because they are afraid of the other. They vote against, not for.

If Sarah Palin continues as she is, obama continues as he is and the republicans continue to do nothing to stop the demonrats, Sarah Palin will have an extremely good chance to become the next President regardless of party.
