...I am afraid Sarah Palin is going to harm herself unintentionally over this tea party convention in Nashville...
Let me be blunt: charging people $500.00 plus the costs of travel and lodging to go to a “National Tea Party Convention” run by a for profit group no one has ever heard of sounds as credible as an email from Nigeria promising me a million bucks if I fork over my bank account number...

If the reports about this year’s CPAC are true, I’m glad she turned it down.
>LOL, YOU DO REALIZE THAT GOVERNOR pALIN IS AN ANTI-THIRD PARTY rEPUBLICAN, DON’T YOU?<
Well LOL, what do you think the Tea Party movement is? And why do YOU think Gov. Palin is working for it? You were absolutely correct in spelling republican with a small r. My alma party is getting smaller every day. When will those who refuse to let go of the tit realize that the Republican party could care l;ess what conservatives want and is out of miolk for them?? If conservatives want nourishment, they MUST Llook elsewhere, and the Tea Party has proven it is well and alive.
READ MY POST 143.
Our memories are different because I knew about her, as did many other people that live in the United States and pay attention to politics, I can’t remember if you live in America or some other country, her battles in Alaska with the GOP and the Murkowski family, and her ascendancy in politics was something that republicans were paying attention to, as my post 115 shows.
When she became the “most popular governor in America, with an approval rating in the 90s, and probably the most popular public official in any state.” then you can imagine that people were starting to look at who this gorgeous, crusading, conservative, republican woman was that could shake up her state in such a manner and reach such incredible approval ratings while doing it. If McCain had not chosen her in 2008 then you would still have been hearing about her in 2009.
You're laughable: a living caricature. Sorta like Yosemite Sam except maybe not as interesting.
> You are so out of touch with the Republican man in the street, if you moved any further left, you'd fall right off the planet!
You seem to place alot of value in saying that I'm “left” and that I “have an Anti-Sarah Agenda” — I'm not, and I don't. But I'm almost certain that you *are* left, and that your agenda is to see Obama back in for a second term.
Nothing else explains your behavior.
See my post #143. There is very little difference between the Demns abd the Reps, Neither Bush was a true Republican. There are very few of them left in WA DC. And apparently, there are darned few of them left here.
well, conservatives can’t be blamed but rejecting Hunter, not completely. They were divided between Guliani, Thompson and Romney , and only so lmany ways to slice the pie. Getting conservatives to agree is like herding cats!
Sorry paperdoll but Governor Palin is a Republican, and she has come out against third parties, for conservatives.
> Our memories are different because I knew about her, as did many other people that live in the United States and pay attention to politics, I can’t remember if you live in America or some other country,
I post from New Zealand, but I try to keep up with American politics, which I follow closely. FRee Republic is a daily read for me.

I can remember that she certainly energized McCain’s campaign, which was all but dead-in-the-water until July ‘08. Of the two she would have made a better Presidential candidate.
> If McCain had not chosen her in 2008 then you would still have been hearing about her in 2009.
Interesting... I’ll go back and check see what was known about her back then. I don’t mind admitting I’m wrong if that’s the case. I can recall her being mentioned in one thread back then, once before the Convention.
You have good reason to be sorry, if what you say is true. The Republican party has proven for over 20 years that has no room for conservatives. Period. Until they revive their Contract with America, I will consider myself a conservative independent. If Sarah Palin has any of the smarts we endow her with, she will follow suit.
NO! NO! NO! Sarah can’t be an ordinary person.
Ordinary people don’t write books, and go on national book tours.
See, if she were an unknown person ONLY THEN could she be qualified to run for POTUS.
Unfortunately, she disqualified herself by becoming well known.
Normal loony left Alinksi technique huh?
Accuse others of exactly what you are doing.
Given that you are the one that is doing everything in his power, to denigrate the most popular(and the most effective) potential Republican candidate for 2012 (Sarah Palin), its clear, who is determined to make sure 0bozo gets reelected here: YOU!
And by having excecutive experience. No ring in her nose is another reason. The GOP backed McCain, the most liberal of those running on the Republican ticket, for Heaven sake! It was Sarah who brought in ANY votes for him from conservatives. No thanks to the GOP. sarah is one of a kind, and her timing is perfect.
Bush spent waayyyyy too much money domestically, and didn’t use his veto pen until his second term. I still don’t think it’s time for a third party.
Well...personally I’d like Joe the Plumber...
But it would help if he had some sort of record to run on...
Such as, I dunno, maybe...
Serving as mayor of his hometown and establishing a record as a no-nonsense conservative even after taking office...
Getting elected Governor of his state over the incumbent of his own party...then arranging for the arrest and conviction of corrupt members of his own party, and their replacement with common sense common folk like himself...
and in less than two years, being able to leave office with that state in better condition than when he took office.
(Sarah did it...)
> well, conservatives can’t be blamed but rejecting Hunter, not completely.
I confess I probably could not have listed three key issues where he was different to Thompson, back then.
> They were divided between Guliani, Thompson and Romney , and only so lmany ways to slice the pie.
Spoiled for choice, in many ways. I still think Giuliani would have been a preferable choice to McCain.
> Getting conservatives to agree is like herding cats!
(GRIN!) as we see every day, right here on FRee Republic...!
