The soul of the Tea Party is the people who belong to it — everyday Americans who grow our food, run our small businesses, teach our children how to read, serve the less fortunate and fight our wars. They're folks in small towns and cities across this nation who saw what was happening to our country and decided to get involved. Thank God for them. Many of these good Americans had never been involved in their government before, but now they attend town hall meetings and participate in online forums. They write letters to the editor. They sign up to be precinct leaders and run for local office and support other independent patriots. They have the courage to stand up and speak out.

I like that scenario.
Then, if we can just get Romney, Huckabee and Pawlenty out of the way, we might be able to get some real conservatives on our near-future general election ballots.
Gee, not one mention of her $100,000 speaking fee, I wonder why?
Ask yourself, would she be doing it for free?
Sarah is all about Sarah. She loves your attention, because next time she can command $150,000.
Right you are. If more people would actually take the time to read her book they would see how during her 16 years, she took on the libs, the rinos, the corruption, and as a result managed to shrink government, cut the budget, lower taxes, jumpstart small business, get back to constitutional basics, and get an overwhelming postive response of her constituents.
Her mindset is as close to those of tea partiers as anyone I’ve seen today. Her out-of-the box mindset wasn’t a campaign ploy, it is who she is.
There are folks who just don’t want to hear it. For whatever reason. Maybe they are some of the corrupt network she outed.
You really let your ignorance of political reality shine. And don’t worry, no one will offer to pay you to go hear her.
She’s already stated that she will be donating that money, but thanks for playing.
I don’t think Sarah Palin got the memo she has to conform with everyone on Freerepublic who thinks they know the true meaning of conservatism.
She’s doesn’t play by the book. So far, she’s been right. I’m cutting her slack. Go Sarah!
Sarah has already announced that the fee will go to charity.
Does this soften your opinion?
I came up with yes.
I doubt it.
Op-Ed
Adjective;
"designating, or appearing on, a page in a newspaper, usually the one opposite the editorial page, that features columns, freelance articles, letters, etc. expressing varied opinions and observations"
Where writers whose opinions may/most often do differ with the editor/editorial leaning of the paper...often 'guest' columns, which I imagine Sarah's is, not a regular one.
I wrote a column for 20 years for my local paper - which, as the paper changed hands and editors several times, becoming increasingly liberal, resulted in my column being relegated to the Op-Ed page.
Show me where she said she will campaign for McLame? All I have heard is she will stoop for him in March... the election isn’t until months later, unless she is actually CAMPAIGNING FOR MCLAME I see nothing wrong with her payback to MCLAME for bringing her to the national front.
Geesh... get real.
For all who agree to the following...say Amen
If you are complaining about Sarah Palin, what have you done to fix things in America? Anti-Up! We are coming to a time in our history that is going to separate the boys from the men. Those who just want to sit around and point fingers and gripe are going to be left in the dust.
I, on the other hand...well—I’ll have Sarah’s back. What say ye?
“People have to get over the “She is campaigning for McCain” garbage. Perhaps they have forgotten how she ran alongside him in 2008, or has that become a distant memory.”
couldn’t agree more...let’s stop this crap...she is who she is and she IS NOT a RINO...
Apparently, an endorsement is far more damaging than actually being McCain’s running mate according to the haters

POST OF THE DAY!!
I’m laughing because this guy didn’t even read the whole thing....but had to run off and bash her like a DU or Daily KOS person, these palin-haters are making themselves look like complete fools!

Try reading the article, troll.
“I will not benefit financially from speaking at this event. My only goal is to support the grassroots activists who are fighting for responsible, limited government — and our Constitution. In that spirit, any compensation for my appearance will go right back to the cause.”
"These are empty words."
You're an idiot. Her record in Alaska proves otherwise. I wish you nuts would realize that McCain is NOT Satan, or even Obama. And she owes him. Her loyalty to her benefactor is admirable.
As someone posted on another thread yesterday:
“Can anyone of you troll morons name me one prominent Republican (you know, one that has at least a slight chance to win the 2012 nomination) who is not supporting McCain in the AZ primary?
Romney?
Huckabee?
Pawlenty?
Thune?
Gingrich?
Ryan?
Pence?
Jindal?
Didn’t think so...
