Nothing in the story says she promised anything of the sort.

I assume she indicated that should an tough issue arise, she will stick to principles, and risk not being re-elected.

So now she has taken to negotiating with herself - apparently imitating the weeper and his rino pal over in the senate.

It doesn’t look like she pledged to be a one term president.

Where did she “pledge” to serve only one term if elected?

Have you always had a hard time reading, the woman is saying she will stick to her principle over party politics even if doing so costs her a second term. A statement of principle and intent is not negotiating.

Sigh.

Yes, it is sad that many FReepers attack Gov. Sarah Palin. That's who you meant, right?

Are you going to retract your moronic, obtuse and misleading parenthetical headline addendum?

>>> They don’t report truth but what they make up as truth.
