Sarah Palin is not 'committed to running' for president in 2012, White House bid not her 'focus'
NY Daily News ^ | 8/4/10 | Nina Hartenstein

Posted on 08/04/2010 8:06:31 AM PDT by pissant

Sarah Palin may be a popular pick for Republicans in 2012, but the former Alaska Gov. is staying cagey on her presidential plans.

"I've never committed to running for president," Palin said on Fox News Sunday. "That's not where my focus is."

Instead, Palin says she is devoting her attention to getting Republicans back in office this fall.

Oh no you don’t! Pissant is only going after Palin cultists who number about 2 dozen out of 100,000. Your Alinsky tactics won’t fly here.

Sorry when you start your post with a lie, you have all ready lost the debate. There are NO Palin cultists here.

That is your usual Alinksy style attack. That is all you anti Palin bigots have been posting around here for months in a pathetic attempt to discredit anyone who objects to your childish personal attack debate tactics.

If you don't like Alinksy tactics, quit using them.

You people have yet to make a fact based rational argument about Palin. Instead you all are continually posting the usual Leftist style personal attack and hysteric demagoguery in place of even a hint of fact based rational commentary.

If you object to being flamed back, quit throwing fire balls. Don't throw fire balls then whine like a pathetic child when your chosen debate style is turned back on you

Sorry but that is a lie.

The Republican Congress delivered the balanced budgets. The last Democrat Congress and Bill Clinton published a Budget Forecast in 1994. They projected $200 billion budget deficits for the rest of the 1990s. Bill Clinton had nothing at all to do with balancing the budget. In fact, he vetoed a number of spending bills demanding MORE social spending. It was the Republican who came up with the money by cutting other funding to meet Bill Clinton spending demands.

Like I said, your ignorance of basic facts when it come to US politics is about total.

” The fact is, one look at the (ahem) ‘editing’ of this thread suggests that at least today, it is quite ok for the OP (pissant) to be called every sort of name and epithet, for Duncan Hunter, as fine a patriot as one can find, to be sneered at and made the butt of jokes by those unfit to shine his shoes (including one lame double-digit-IQ RudyBot), but refuting and rebuking such attacks is deemed worthy of the posts being ‘removed by moderator’.”

One of the favorite tactics by the 2 dozen or so RINOS here is to mock you, me, and Pissant as “ 1% ers “. Of course, the 1%ers referrs to Duncan Hunter Conservatives, and those of us who wanted Duncan Hunter for President. It is one of the dirtiest and shabbiest of RINO tricks, and is literally hundred of times in the past year....particularly again Pissant, MKjessup and myself.

For the record, Duncan Hunter is one of the finest men I ever met. An American conservative patriot through and through! We had nobody running in 08 fit to shine his shoes. I had never seen suck an aggregation of RINO losers in my life as we had in 08. We had better not allow this to happen again!!

As Jim Rob said “ Revolution is brewing! Vote out the RINOS! They will screw you EVERY time”

To you few guilty Freepers, knock off attacking REAL conservative patriot heroes like Hunter, just in order to prop up your RINO losers!!

I'm not attacking Hunter - I am ridiculing pissant's notion that Hunter could make any kind of significant run in 2012 after his showing in 2008. Yet pissant thinks he should run again.

So as you decry the alleged cultlike nature of Palin's supporters, it seems you can't stand any kind of critique of your side as well. So as mnehrling noted, who REALLY is the cult around here?

Hmmmm. Let’s recall. Was it the Fredheads who complained to the mods or the Hunterites last time? This time out I’ve seen numerous pleas to have the “palin haters” banned.

And since I’m the supposed Hunter cult guy here, how is it that I’m also enthusiastically supporting a number of people to toss their hat in the ring for Prez? I’ve yet to see a Sarahcultist post a thread encouraging someone other than Sarah to run.

She seems like a nice enough lady and she takes nice positions politically but there doesn’t seem to be much substance behind the rhetoric...

You must not be familiar with her path from the Wasilla City Council to the office of Governor. Her 'quitting on the State' was done partly FOR the State, so the business of the State wouldn't be sidetracked by all the frap being thrown at her by Obama operatives in AK. Those ethics charges didn't even start until after she'd been nominated to the Veep slot. Have you noticed that when she left the office, the charges against the office of the Governor went away, as well?

She was tired of the attempts at personally bankrupting her family, and those of her staff members, who were beginning to be harassed, themselves. She wasn't even able to set up a Defense Fund, without it also being challenged in court. So resigning was really her only option. And for those who claim that she wouldn't be able to 'stand the heat' of the Presidency, because those same people would be coming after her, the rules of Defense Funds are different at the national level, apparently, because all Presidents have them, at some time, or the other, so that personal bankruptcy problem is not applicable.

Her political enemies were hoping that, having run her out of office, they would silence her, as well. It hasn't happened quite that way, to their chagrin. As her Dad said, upon her resignation, "Sarah's not retreating, she's reloading", and she's certainly plowed back into politics with a vengeance!

Like I said, pissant, your political advice is worthless. Any guy who compares Palin supporters to Jonestown is a real jackass who has no understanding of how to build coalitions.

She is nothing like Reagan and it does a disservice to his memory to pretend that Palin is in his league.

Finally! It is so good to read this comment. I could not agree with you more.

” I’m not attacking Hunter - I am ridiculing pissant’s notion that Hunter could make any kind of significant run in 2012 after his showing in 2008. Yet pissant thinks he should run again. “

I never said YOU attacked Hunter. IIRC you never have stooped to that. But there are about 2 dozen sick twisted RINOS here(there were about 3 dozen, but Jim Rob zotted them in the past 2 months). For the record, I disagree with Pissant that Hunter should run for POTUS again, although he would make a fine VP. Hunter has great attributes, but lacks the infernal “charisma” too many dumbass Americans seem to crave.

” So as you decry the alleged cultlike nature of Palin’s supporters, it seems you can’t stand any kind of critique of your side as well. So as mnehrling noted, who REALLY is the cult around here?

I specifically said about TWO DOZEN Palin supporters, NOT all of them. A small fraction. Go back and read it.

Truth? From a guy who thinks women shouldn't vote? I don't listen to racists OR mysogynists.

So, as I said:
“Tell that to Micheal Reagan”


I did. I got an automated response inviting me to pay $34.95 for the email address 'mkjessup@reagan.com'.

The Gipper must be turning over.

” All Michael Reagan did with that dubious rah-rah, was to embarrass himself, and sully his Dad’s memory by elevating someone who had not (and has not) achieved a fraction of what the Gipper did with his life. “

Mike Reagan is a real nice guy. He is also not very bright, and since around 1985, he has made a number of verbal blunders. This is his worst, IMO.

Lord, I pray his spirit is not made miserable by what we are going through now. For all intents and purposes, we are under a leftist dictatorship, to which the law and the Constitution mean nothing. I truly never thought I would live to see this.

Playing the victim now, pissant? Ever think that your posts getting pulled and your past suspensions are perhaps your own doing?
