Saint Sarah To white evangelical women, Sarah Palin is a modern-day prophet, preaching God, flag, and family—while remaking the religious right in her own image.
Another memoirist might prefer to keep such matters private, but Sarah Palin is not another memoirist. In Going Rogue: An American Life, Palin describes, perhaps for the first time in the history of political autobiography, a furtive trip to an out-of-state drugstore to obtain a do-it-yourself pregnancy test. This was in the fall of 2007, when the 43-year-old mother of four was governor of Alaska and began to notice “some peculiar yet familiar physical symptoms, like the smell of cigarettes making me feel more nauseated than usual.” So, while on business in New Orleans—at a time and in a place where her anonymity was still possible—Palin procured the kit. In the privacy of her hotel room, she “followed the instructions on the...box. Slowly a pink image materialized on the stick.

my first reply to you was before reading this one.
so take it as such
Are you insecure or just paranoid?
You should have seen the crowd and how long they all stood in line to see her. As she walked by you could hear people saying things like, "There goes the next President".
They also showed how, after her event, she took the time to take pictures with the mall cops. Some of security people remarked how it showed what a nice, kind person Sarah Palin is. She didn't just order them around and then get in her car and leave.
It was not a political show but it sure did show a good representation as to how the rest of the nation feels about SP.
Another thing, someone who has been around as long as you should know that...unless you’ve been a ten year FReeper who only pounded his keyboard and flapped his gums.
There are several who were in the front lines of the battles and paid dearly for their support of Jim and this website.

Those supporting RINO McCain knowing all he’s done are simply idiots. McCain is a treacherous liar who sides with the left on issues that are destructive to our liberty, ie, McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Lieberman, TARP, etc.
Freep him and the RINO he rode in on! And his little dog Lindseed too.

Ah, so now you're lumping us well established Freepers and Palin supporters in with the liberal anti-freeper scum now?
Is that it?
Both, and then some......
As for honesty around here, I think there is honesty- but it isn't what some want to hear- on both sides of the coin. There's rhetoric everywhere. But this honest, too, also exists: there isn't a single conservative out there today who hasn't at one point or another endorsed a RINO. You know I'm going to always support the conservative regardless of endorsements. And what many here are missing is that there might, MIGHT, be a handful of Palin supporters on FR that would actually vote for McCain because of that endorsement. That's not a condemnation of Palin, but more so (and should be) one of the person voting. It isn't any different than voting for the Christian label, race, sex, etc.
Make up your own mind, folks!
The Carly thing is similar. Of course, I don't see Cali as any different than MA when Scott Brown ran. Conservatives here sacrificed principles in order to defeat healthcare. And look how that ended up.
I have never advocated voting the lesser of two evils. In fact, I've railed against it. It isn't purism, it’s just a differing philosophy- some would vote for the (R) no matter what.
It should always be principle before party.
Of course, some will say that Sarah Palin isn't doing that. And perhaps they're right. But then again, maybe that isn't how she's approaching things. Perhaps she's more pragmatist than purist. And that's fine.
Its when Palin starts taking her own beliefs and sacrificing them for political expediency that I will take many second, third looks, etc. Some may say she's already doing that by endorsing RINOs. I get that. But what I don't get is the clear blind eye that's given to all the other conservatives- including 2012 hopefuls- who've endorsed them as well (including a certain rep from Texas who endorsed Moonbat leftists). Did they, too, sacrifice principle over party? And if so, shouldn't they also be kicked to the curb?
If endorsing a RINO (and I don't care how RINO they are) is the bellwether for support, then there will be none left. Personally, I think Huckabee is the biggest and most dangerous RINO there is. But will I slight Duncan Hunter for endorsing him? No.
The whole screed, 'If McCain wins its Sarah's fault' is such a straw man. Sorry, but if McCain wins, its JD Hayworth's fault. The bigger issue here is, with the obvious anti-immigration climate in AZ, and JD's history of being anti-illegal immigration (and McCain's amnesty/pandering), why and the world isn't JD doing better?
JD should hire me as his adviser because he needs a strategy shift ASAP.
Like you, Bob? Is that what you're saying?
But they’re drawn to yours LakeSnark. So although I think you’re a nut-job anklebiter, I do have to thank you for drawing folks to my links.
Thank you. I mean it.
John McCain’s Wonderful World of Conservatism
Just the sort of policy Sarah Palin feels comfortable supporting on television for months at a time in Arizona, so McCain can defeat the Conservative running against him.

You’re kind of late to the game aren’t you.
Well, there was that thread where you said you had my real name and the name of my employer, with the subtle hint that you wanted to call them and get me fired.
If you--and other Palinistas--have to resort to brownshirt tactics to defend your "mama grizzly," you're no better than the O-bots defending their Messiah.
You're the one who should tread carefully, making accusations like that. If you have proof that happened, present it. I'm sure Jim would love to see it.
Hmmm...I seem to remember that you had plastered your private information all over the web and that I reminded you that this was not a smart thing to do in our favorite past time of FReeping.
So, when do you find time to do your FReeping?
Sarah Palin is hot! Elena Kagan is not!
That's quite a statement there. What the heck site am I on? DU?
Carly Fiorina in California has won the right to run against Boxer in November. If Carly wins she’ll be voting for about 75% or more of what Boxer would have.
If Sarah had endorsed Chuck DeVore, she would have raised his profile and helped elect a man that would vote against Boxer just about all the time.
I don’t know those others, but I do know that McCain will be doing his best to turn them in the U.S. Senate, if he returns.
That’s how John operates. John provided funds to get Brown elected back east. Then within 24 hours of Brown being elected, John held a private meeting with him.
Right now Sarah is endorsing John. Isn’t that somewhat of a reversal of what we hoped she would stand for?
John has Lindsey Graham so befuddled, he doesn’t know which way is up. John also had his meat hooks into our candidate for Governor and even Fiorina. They were both on his 2008 presidential campaign staff.
John infects all those he comes into contact with. That’s why I focus on him and his connections so stridently.
You'd better be able to back that up Rabadash Rabs.
when I voted for McCain-Palin I’ll be honest I was hoping the pressure of the job would see McCain kill over on day 30 (He is what 110 after all) and give us a Pres. Palin.
