1 JUNEAU, Alaska A former member of Sarah Palin's inner circle has written a scathing tell-all, saying Palin was ready to quit as governor months before she actually resigned and was eager to leave office when more lucrative opportunities came around.
2 "In 2009 I had the sense if she made it to the White House and I had stayed silent, I could never forgive myself," Frank Bailey told The Associated Press.
3 Palin's attorney did not respond to multiple requests for comment for this story. \
4 "Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of Our Tumultuous Years" is due out Tuesday and based on tens of thousands of emails that Bailey said he kept during his time with Palin. It began with working on her 2006 gubernatorial campaign and continued through her failed run for vice president;.......

Thanks. Doesn’t surprise me that Cain’s got some Tea Party traction right now, and it’s always interesting to know which candidate FReepers are favoring.
Yeah right...and all Tea Party members who oppose obama are racists too, right?
(Paranoia seems to be the later stages in the disease of Palin Reality Syndrome.)
Talk about bazaar!
You’re wasting your time. The palinistas on FR are a closed mind cult of personality who can allow no dissonant voices to be heard over their chest thumping for their heroine. I like Palin...won’t vote for her and don’t think she has a snowballs chance in hell of getting elected to anything, ever again. But her supporters are another story. What a whacked out bunck of weirdos. But what do I know...I’m just a PDS troll.
What the does that mean you jack ass? I have not stated that no conservative I know is supporting her. That is a lie. I've stated plainly that some folks from my Tea Party group support her and hopes she runs but more don't!
I apologize for calling you a jack ass. That was uncalled for.
You did in fact say (post 104) "and while a good number like Palin a very large number simply will NOT vote for her."
Perhaps you got over-zealous in your tone, losing patience with Palin's supporters here on FR, and deathly afraid that we fail to see the desperate straits the US -- indeed, that Freedom will be in -- if Obama wins. Shades of Lord of the Rings and Denethor's fears for the Ring.
The problem is not that people won't vote for Palin; the problem is the Stockholm Syndrome towards the MSM which makes conservatives throw up their hands and acquiesce.
Remember that Palin in some polls is within 4% of Obama as far as the "hard dislikes" -- and that is after two or three years of nonstop lies about Palin and an equal amount of adulation and cover-ups for Obama. (Have you heard, anywhere but on FR, how Obama signed the register over in England with the date as "2008"? Talk about WTF!)
There's plenty of time for what the left used to call "consciousness-raising".
As far as the rest of your post #104?
If you noticed when she went to the White House Correspondents' Dinner and *everyone* in the MSM wanted their photo with her? The press is a bunch of popularity *whores*. If she truly were anathema, they wouldn't have wanted the photos.
Nice try, though.
Oh--and one last. You're committing a logical fallacy in claiming that FR is an echo chamber and therefore shouldn't be relied upon, but that your (presumably much smaller) Tea Party group *is* "representative".
Logic FAIL.
Cheers!
Every time you post I think that must be your butt talking because your mouth knows better.
Face it she is too much woman for you, and unlike you she actually thinks like a man.
Get help post haste piggy.
My intentions were to hopefully encourage folks, particularly Palin supporters to be PROACTIVE (something Republicans have a long record of NOT being).
An example of what MUST happen if Palin makes a run for POTUS:

“wtc911 is a charter member of the PDS brigade....”
Yeah, I know! Its just that I refuse to let that kind of nonsense just hang there in the air without popping the balloon. The post wasn’t for him, it was for any that read his tripe and believe it true because it wasn’t responded to.
Does all of that REALLY matter to an MSM and a Democrat opponent/party that doesnt care a danged bit for the truth?????
WELL JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT ...YOU TAKE IT UPON YOURSELF TO SEND UP THOSE TRUTH POINTS I GAVE YOU... EVERY TIME U SEE SARAH TRASHED BY SOME LIB CLOWN ANYWHERE U SEE THAT OCCURING....OK?
YOUR POST MADE IT SOUND LIKE SARAH QUIT AND WAS NOT FORCED OUT........BE CLEARER....TYVM
Finally, when asked by Bill O’Reilly to explain why she quit, she said nothing about the lawsuits and only re-iterated the lame-duck nonsense....
YEP IT’D BEEN NICE IF THEY’D HAVE WORKED TOGETHER AND HAD A DISCUSSION ...POINT BY POINT ABOUT WHY....MAYBE AT THAT TIME A COURT CASE WAS IN THE MIX....
“Think back to when Clinton was in office. He and Hillary had many very large lawsuits and legal defenses that were bankrupting them. They promptly started asking for donations and started a legal fund to fight them in court.”
and
“They stayed in office, the country did not implode and his Presidency wound up being salvaged, by definition.”
The difference being that DC is a very different place than Alaska, and the Media always had Clinton’s back.
On the other hand Palin’s back is the preferred place for the MSM to sink their daggars, and Alaska is a long way from the public’s eye to do their dirty work......
Your talking coulda/woulda/shoulda speculation baloney......
“Palin quit for personal gain.”
Says who? You? LOLLOLOLOLOL
” I have nothing against Sarah Palin.”
LOLOLOLOL man you got it bad in for her!
” I do, however, have plenty of complaints against her supportes on FR”
Who happen to be posting in responce to your posted invectives..............Don’t like Palin or her supporters? There’s a simple solution for all.....stay off Palin threads.......
egg ....... meet ....... Chicken.....LOLOLOLOL
