Palin: “Could I Support Somebody Like Mitt Romney? Yeah”…

DES MOINES, Iowa — 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said Friday that she still hasn’t decided if she’s going to run for president. Palin is also undecided about whom she would endorse if she ultimately decided against entering the race.

Swarmed by media and supporters at the Iowa State Fair, the former governor of Alaska told The Daily Caller that she’s not concerned that Mitt Romney is considered the frontrunner at this time.

“No, nothing worries me at this point,” Palin told TheDC. “Could I support somebody like Mitt Romney? Yeah.”

When TheDC pointed out that some tea partiers have pledged to make sure Romney doesn’t get the nomination, Palin said, “I’m of the mind of ABO — Anybody But Obama, at this time.”

Well shoot, and here I had it narrowed down to Professor Plum. I never was any good at this game.

The last time I played Monopoly with Darksheare, he got angry because I sank his battleship. I told him he should have been the thimble.

The last time I played Risk with darksheare, the fire department sprayed the pieces all over the dining room, so we never did determine who, if anyone, won.

>>>>>You seem to be obsessed with the term red herring.

Its the right term for your replies. Just pointing out the obvious --- your inability or unwillingness to stay focused on the issue. Instead of debating Palin's dumb remark about supporting Romney, you chose to distract and divert attention onto Reagan by putting him at the center of your juvenile rants. Typical for out of touch morons like yourself. Keep digging, you're a riot! LOL

Darks, are random ladder crews still breaking down your front door and spraying your domicile with a high pressure hose despite the absense of a fire?

I thought you were going to send a strongly worded letter to the fire chief. Perhaps you should send one to city hall.

Yep!

To not include the clarification of Palin that was at the end of this article told me exactly what Drape’s motives were. The fact that he thinks we can’t see through this crap is just insulting.

You know, if you ask these people who have PDS why they despise this woman so much; I’ll wager you they can’t give you a legitimate answer. It really is sad to see so called “conservatives” side with the insane Leftists in this country to try and destroy this lady. Beyond sickening!

Good Grief! is it too much to ask for an accurate quote? Deal with it. Then go read post 50 on this thread. I await your updated take on the subject.

On the rare instances they don’t ignore or redirect/duck/dodge, they often:
1. Use the debunked ‘quitter’ meme
2. Use the opinion only “she can’t win” meme with no explanation at all.
3. Use the divisive meme.
4. Blame ‘rabid Palinistas’ such as myself ;) as an example of God knows what.
5. Pick some random event from her time as Gov. to sho proof beyond all doubt that she is unqualified, though thusfar, all such has been repeatedly addressed, debunked or explained to the satisfaction of anyone willing to honestly evaluate the situation.

The ultimate end is that they simply, for reasons paid or pathetic, actively work to ensure she’s a non-starter.

Unfortunately they cannot be ignored because they INTENTIONALLY AND WILLFULLY lie to good people, who then, mistakenly, think Palin is/has done etc something she did not. So the battle goes on and the great “Cult of Palin” monument in the desert, “Trollhenge” gains another labeled urinal for us ‘Druids” to “shower with our respect” ;)

It's not a Palin quote. It's what Ingtar posted to you in post #131 -

Sez Ingtar - "Perhaps, like many, the two are not that terribly different. Both say one thing while campaigning and do other things when elected. Also, the context here is important. Even in your excerpt, it is the final nominee they were asking about. Wouldn’t most endorse a rock if it were the alternative to Obama?"

Ah yes! I just saw that in #131 and your reply in #280. Sorry about that.

I had no idea who you were quoting or where the text came from since I had not read the Ingtar comment in depth until now (or at least had not seen the last part which is the part you quoted).

I do apologize to you for that. That was my mistake. Now that I see this, I see and understand where the text comes from now.

No hard feelings. Have a great evening.

Perhaps you were trying to respond to someone else cause I have no idea what your talking about.

You've provided an excellent list of the tactics these people try and use to bash Palin...and those of us who support her. With your permission, I'd like to use this list in future PDS related postings...giving you full credit of course.

You know, if you think about it, it really is perverted, and just downright nasty what some Republicans (dare I say Conservatives) are trying to do to this lady because of their PDS. This lady and her family have been attacked and savaged like no other politician in recent memory.

She's had all manner of bogus lawsuits brought against her (Nothing has come to fruition), She's had wacko journalists move in her neighborhood to watch her every move, she's had thousands upon thousands of her e-mails released to the public that the Leftists hoped would provided some smoking gun(funny we never heard of any earth shattering revelation!), and I could go on.

People like ejdrapes (and other pissant wannabes) know Palin has been slandered mercilessly, with all attacks and bogus charges either being refuted, or just flat out lies; yet they post drivel like this. For ejdrapes to claim that he was just posting a story (with provocative title), and yet conveniently not include the update where Palin clarified her statements, doesn't just show that he's disingenuous; it shows he's just a nasty little prick!

My guess is, ejdrapes and other PDS sufferers would've withered long ago if they were under the attacks that Governor Palin has been under.

I agree with you on the most, but I think you discount the number of paid anti-Palin flacks here. They’re posting threads daily... and now that W’s clone Perry has announced, they’re using that cover to be even more nasty. Check it out.

______________________________________________________

This is another excellent point you make.

Just as we did here (successfully I believe), we must also do in other venues by not allowing people get away with spouting off lies and misrepresentations about Palin.

Look, Palin’s a human being, she’s not perfect, and as much as those with PDS would like to believe, we don’t blindly follow her. We’re just sick and tired of this good lady being treated like sh*t because she loves her country and isn’t afraid to let her beliefs be known.

I’ll close with a prediction: If Palin announces she’s running, her PAC will take record amounts in contributions, far surpassing the Kenyan. Although the Left will once again try to destroy her, they’ll fail. By trying to destroy her early on, and failing miserably, they’ve made her stronger than they could’ve ever imagined. In a kind of warped way, they may have actually done us a favor. The President and the Media are scared crapless she’s going to run for the reasons I just mentioned.

If she decides to run I’ll do everything in my power to ensure she’s elected. I’m not a drone, i just know a patriot when I see one.

Cheers! ;-)
