“What Leftist rag did you get this propaganda from?
The writer argues that none of Palin’s allies can run for President without betraying her. So Palin can be the only conservative, and everyone else running has to be a RINO.
Then what if Palin does not run? It would be all RINOs. That is the clear agenda of the article writer.”
/// straw men arguments, and personal attacks? that doesn’t sound like conservative FReepers to me.
UnwashedPeasant made the same mistake Vendome did in incorrectly reading the original article.
post 77 addressed this rather emphatically:
“Neither the article nor the title addresses “anyone” other than the two putative candidates”
- - -
...i don’t totally agree with the original article. but, attacking a man for something he DIDN’T say, i do object to.
and the original article did have good information i didn’t know. and, while perhaps he says it clumsily by some standards, he makes great points. Like that unlike the left, to the right, character and integrity DO matter.
i WOULD have proudly voted for Bachmann before. but if you look at those “Rollins” threads, you will see MANY people know that Rollins said ridiculous things about Palin long before he was hired.
Bachmann knew this. and endorses it by her silence. Most would have forgiven her, if she had immediately fired Rollins for repeated his remarks AFTER he was hired. but she didn’t.
i LITERALLY only voted in 2008, because of Sarah. The GOP doesn’t understand, that i may be in the minority, but i’m not alone.
i will stay home rather than vote for a candidate that i don’t respect now (Bachmann), or a Rhino ( Romney or Perry).
Also, there were several other posts in the 60’s that i felt had similar misunderstandings, and i was going to respond to, until i saw that FreeReign responded to those brilliantly. much better than i could do. I enjoyed reading ALL his comments.
Post #51 by onyx was beautiful. thank you!
Certainly people can run against her. but they should have defended her after Tuscon, and not allow people like Rollins to call her “lazy”. They NEED our enthusiasm in 2012. and they won’t get it, by showing a lack of character.
#52 “Facebook” bears repeating:
Palin: approaching 3.2 million
Bachmann: 188,000
Perry: 56,000.
Has anyone asked Bachmann about Rollins’ boneheaded remarks?
Did he make these remarks on more than one occasion, after she had a chance to scold him in private?
The Rollins thing is an issue, but not (yet) worth condemning one of the few potential Conservative candidates.
Thanks very much, Elendur for your kind words regarding my Post #51.
As a co-holder of Sarah Palin’s Ping List, I must state that, I, like Govenor Palin herself, fear no competition and in fact, I welcome it!
Election 2012 is one that we have to win and I think Sarah Palin will win the nomination and go onto win the White House, despite the news media polls that say otherwise.
She is the all American, girl-next-door, who’s always been underestimated. Just like Rush continues to repeat, the enemy and the media always tell us who they fear most and the on going attempts to destroy her couldn’t be more clear.
She trusts in God completely and after this email snooping has backfired, I have to believe that God has surely blessed his servant, Sarah Palin, -— we know He works in mysterious ways -— granted, she didn’t fight the release of the emails.
GO SARAH! YOUR SUPPORTERS HAVE YOUR BACK!
ALL THE WAY TO 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVE. WASHINGTON, D.C.!
