I don’t think I owe anything to the Mainstream Media

In a political world where perception is everything, Sarah Palin is really hurting right now, according to The Week. The worst part is, she is pulling the Republican Party right down the drain with her.
In the past few weeks, Palin has shown all kinds of signs that she is running for president in 2012. She has bought a home in Arizona, hijacked a ride intended for veterans, released a book and announced a bus tour. All of these things say that she is building toward a run for the Republican nomination...or does it?
Rumors abound that Palin is simply building toward yet another payday. She has no real relevance without the possibility of running to fuel speculation. Could this be Palin simply being Palin?
If Palin is not intending to run for the Republican nomination, then she is simply being selfish. Her grandstanding makes it nearly impossible for fringe candidates to be heard. For the Republicans to win in 2012, they will need the very best they have to offer. How will voters know that with Palin taking up airspace and then backing out, like she did on her state of Alaska?
Fair or not, Palin is a prominent face of the party. When she came growling into Washington on that Harley and took it over for her own selfish purposes, many resented it. How many connected that action with the Republican Party?
Maybe Palin is planning to run. Maybe that is supposed to somehow make all these things okay. The truth is, it really will not matter.

Palin running would mean that fringe candidates will never get their message out.
The bottom line is simple: If Palin is joining the race, it is bad for Republicans.

I guess she may as well run then..
Oh, heck yes. Let’s take Yahoo’s word for everything.
Palin ping.
“Her grandstanding makes it nearly impossible for fringe candidates to be heard”
What fringe republicans?
How many of them are out there not being heard? If nothing else, they are thanking her. Because the MSM is looking desperately to find conservatives to pick off, and like good guerilla fighters, they aren’t marching out into the open. They aren’t that stupid.
They know the MSM favors certain candidates, and none of them are conservatives.
Maybe the tinkle down the leg of the MSM is turning brown due to fear.
Rodney is an MSM foot soldier. The big guns come out later.
Exactly
No biased reporting here. /s
Thank you, I see it, but what is it?
LOL.
She’s ruining everything!!!!!!
Palin running would mean that fringe candidates will never get their message out.
They say this as though it’s a bad thing,
oh that’s right they’re democrats they
want us to HAVE fringe candidates.
Oh please. I’m starting to think that there’s no diff between a large segment of DU and a large segment of FR.
The comments underneath are so funny. So classic lib.
She’s stupid, she’s greedy, she’s self-important.
Not one intelligent criticism. They’ll have to go back to their koolaid magazines for more adjectives.
If we have lost Yahoo News, then we have lost the nation.(/S)
“I’mma thinking the MSM is very intimidated by Sarah’s presence.’
They are scared sh#*~less!
BwaaaaaaaahAAAhaaaaaaaahaaaaaa!
As long as she absolutely demolishes the Democrats, hurting the Republicans is absolutely fine with me. It may be even a bonus.
