So what if Palin wants to keep speaking fees or what ever you are talking about.I care about the big picture. There is nothing wrong with making a profit and Sarah will reduce the size of government. Government /socialism doesn't work. Everything else doesn't matter if the government keeps growing. And only Palin can stop it. What you are talking about whatever lies you are spewing, you are just trying to stop Palin so that she won't stop government growth.
You think any government can keep up and compete with private companies creating quality products like computers, cars etc? Think again there isn't any local , state or national government anywhere in the world even trying to compete with private for profit companies in the creating of a TANGIBLE product because they know they can't
I don't care whatever the hell you are talking about which is all spin and lies.
You are just angry that your socialist utopia will not come about and that you will actually have to get a job instead of living off of the productive , you liberal.

Please read the view of these godly women and then prayerfully ask God what His best is for our country.
Yes ,I, like Sarah Palin am for freedom, freedom of speech, and small limited government. I Have never here nor anywhere at anytime said that I wanted to give the government power to censor your speech or anyone else’s speech. But I am free to say what I want to say. I can't stop you from saying or doing anything. The only way to stop you from speaking your mind and spewing your propaganda is by empowering government to do that: and in no way am I for giving government nor government idiots the power to censor anyone’s speech.
Your failure to understand this very simple concept that I like you am free to speak but that I can't stop you from saying anything nor do I advocate giving the government power to censor you tells me a lot about why you fall for the liberal/Marxist lies.
However I do believe that we are in a propaganda war against the left/Democrats. To save freedom,to save the U.S.A.. I think we should speak out. But I don't advocate government censorship of free speech just exposing the left and the left’s lies by us saying the truth, mainly that the socialism/government that Democrats/liberals/progressives are pushing doesn't work.
If you're going to insinuate she's a tax cheat, show some proof.
a Dem receiving the speaking fee and simply saying that he/she was going to give it all to charities?
You don't think the dems would gladly give to charites that they support, such as planned parenthood, acorn, media matters, ect...? And why are you running around FR accusing people of not giving Dems the benifit of the doubt? Don't you realize you're exposing who you are by acting this way? Hey, I've got a question for you noob, can you name a candidate that is more qualified than Palin and has a better chance of defeating Obama than Palin?
yawn....been there done that....yawn.....another ranter of FR.
that’s because she is giving the money away
and
last time I checked, we still have CAPITALISM (barely)
and
get over it
Conservative9 your holier than thou BS hardly works when people learn that you supported the non Christian, pro abortion, pro gay power guy, Mitt Romney.
Bull! If her campaigning for him will have no effect why is she doing it? No,there are people who will believe that because Palin is campaigning for him McCain couldn't possibly be the backstabbing RINO that he really is. Some of them will vote for McCain because of this. If he wins Palin will have had plenty to do with it.
She has chosen personality over principle and will have to live with the results
McCain had a 25 point lead BEFORE Sarah even endorsed him. So your saying that Sarah’s endorsement has influence then, so how come Hoffman lost..she endorsed him and he lost. So it can’t work both ways. Bottom line is, people make up their own minds. If I lived in Arizona, I wouldn’t vote for McCain, even though Sarah Palin endorsed him. If people can’t use their own brains and pick who they want to win that’s NOT Sarah’s problem. McCain was picked by the GOP before Sarah Palin even came on board so whose fault is that.
Sorry, it is Palin's problem. This is exactly why McCain wants Palin to campaign for him, to influence voters, and she damn well knows this. How much she can influence voters is not clear. If she has a lot of influence McCain might win. If she doesn't, she will have demonstrated her lack of influence on the electorate which would reflect on her ability to be a successful candidate.
She has put herself in a no win situation.
Later this week I’ll head to Nashville, where I’ll have the honor of speaking with members of the Tea Party movement. I look forward to meeting many Americans who share a commitment to limited government, common sense and personal responsibility. This movement is truly a grassroots, organic effort. It’s not a top-down organization; it’s a ground-up call to action that already has both political parties rethinking the way they do business.
From the town halls last summer to the protests and marches in the fall to the game-changing recent elections, it has been inspiring to see real people — not politicos or inside-the-Beltway professionals — speak out for common-sense conservative policies and values. As with all grassroots efforts, the nature of this movement means that sometimes the debates are loud and the organization is messier than that of a polished, controlled machine. Legitimate disagreements take place about tone and tactics. That’s OK, because this movement is about bigger things than politics or organizers.
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.
Their vision is what drew me to the Tea Party movement. They believe in the same principles that guided my work in public service — whether I was working on the PTA and city council or serving as a mayor, commissioner or governor. I look forward to meeting some of these great Americans this weekend.
Recently, some have tried to portray this movement as a commercial endeavor rather than the grassroots uprising that it is. Those who do so don’t understand the frustration everyday Americans feel when they see their government mortgaging their children’s future with reckless spending. The spark of patriotic indignation that inspired those who fought for our independence and those who marched peacefully for civil rights has ignited once again. You can’t buy such a sentiment. You can’t AstroTurf it. It springs from love of country and the knowledge that we can make a difference if we just stand up and stand together.
I thought long and hard about my participation in this weekend’s event. At the end of the day, my decision came down to this: It’s important to keep faith with people who put a little bit of their faith in you. Everyone attending this event is a soldier in the cause. Some of them will be driving hundreds of miles to Nashville. I made a commitment to them to be there, and I am going to honor it.
But participation won’t be limited to those in Nashville who have a ticket. It’s much bigger than that. Because the Tea Party movement is spread out across the country — with no central offices or annual events — this is an opportunity to connect with like-minded folks. Yes, there will be speeches given in a room in Nashville. But we’ll also be speaking with thousands of Americans watching online at twitter.com/SarahPalinUSA, or through various news outlets. And the conversation will continue on my Facebook page.
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.
The nature of the Tea Party movement means there may never be a “perfectly orchestrated” event: Democracy in action doesn’t come with a manual. But we must not get caught up in the politics or the controversies that some hope will distract from the heart of the movement. The focus must remain on our ideas and beliefs, and on supporting those ideas and beliefs however we can.
This weekend, it’s Nashville, but in March, I’ll head to Searchlight, Nev., for the kickoff rally at the Tea Party Express III. In April, I’ll be in Boston for a Tea Party gathering there. Across the country, tea-partiers will be sharing our vision for America’s future, a vision that promotes common sense solutions to out-of-control spending and an out-of-touch political establishment.
The process may not always be pretty or perfect, but the message is loud and clear: We want a government worthy of the fine Americans that it serves. And we’re going to keep spreading that message one convention, one town hall, one speech and one election at a time.
As long as she gives the Keith Olbermans a headache, I guess I like her. She has a role as “Chief Irritator of MSNBC commentators”, a lofty post, and she can raise money, so I’ll support her.
She is doing it for free.
Why did you choose to ignore her very public statement to this effect?
“We would all be spinsters if we waited for Mr. Perfect.”
So true!
Sarah took on members of her own party when they were corrupt. She is the real deal.
I do happen to prefer DeMint and Michele Bachmann, but Sarah is a super person, too.
McCain had a single digit lead before Palin now polls have him at double digit leads.
While Palin’s endorsment does’nt matter in the general elections, it matters in a primary closed to Republican voters.
Your beloved Clintons don't take a dump without a fee, son.
Go back to DU where you belong, troll.
The best thing that can happen is that McCain loses in the primary, and then Sarah can endorse Hayworth..that would be the best outcome
The godly women that you cite have a rather LIMITED view of what God intends for women, IMHO:http://visionarydaughters.com/2008/09/why-sarah-palin-inspires-us
Please read the view of these godly women and then prayerfully ask God what His best is for our country.
...Christians across the nation are cheering the entrance of Mrs. Palin, forgetting that, according to the biblical qualifications for a civil magistrate, she as a woman is not qualified to hold this office (Ex. 18:21, Pro. 31:23, 1 Tim. 2:12).[1]
To quote J.B Phillips:
"Their God is TOO SMALL!"As I understand the Bible, God provides MANY examples of women in power, such as DEBORAH -- who led Israel, in the time of the Judges.
