I'm not sure I have a flame retardant suit thick enough for this one, but I though it was an interesting perspective and worth discussing.

' I am not a Sarah Palin hater.'

If you say that then you really are. Trying to delve into the mind and strategy of Sarah Palin is a useless effort. You'd have better luck devising a foolproof system to beat the casino's.

Hardly anything to discuss. The author (Leon Wolf) offers the opinion that Sarah Palin has attempted to cater to the Republican establishment by endorsing what he considers non-conservative, unworthy candidates. He posits that Palin is doing this deliberately, apparently to curry favor with the GOP establishment who's animosity toward Sarah Palin is exceeded only by liberal Democrats. Mr. Wolf also believes that because Palin doesn't have a big 'ground' organization in the first three primary states (Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina), that is an indication she has no intention of running for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. He seems to disapprove of Sarah Palin 'teasing' supporters by showing up in Iowa and other venues where GOP candidates are attending events but refusing to say whether or not she will be a candidate. My overall impression is that Leon Wolf isn't a Palin supporter, doesn't think she'll run and doesn't like the candidates she has endorsed. But, he's "not a Sarah Palin hater". O.K., but he doesn't seem to think much of the former Alaska governor. Got it - and I've read 50 other pieces written 'more in sorrow than anger' that claim to admire Sarah Palin but go on to claim she's doing everything wrong and, all together now: 'she isn't running'. Well, we should know y this time next month because that is the approximate time-frame Sarah Palin has given to make her decision public. I can hardly wait.

She gave a “non-endorsement endorsement” of Hatch. Therefore she’s a RINO.

What f****g moron.

More blather about Palin. Somehow you don’t hear the same complaints about other candidates yet to enter or about Rick Perry up until this weekend.

I don’t know what the deal is with Palin’s Hatch love. Could be she’s already thinking of her prospective presidency and doesn’t want to alienate those whom she thinks will toe the small government line if treated well—and are likely to be reelected anyway.

Here's another "interesting perspective" worth discussing:

The guy was whining but not saying anything, he just wanted to emote some negative vibes.

When I got to the word “But”, I knew it was going to be garbage, so why bother.

As for flaming you, I just don’t think that’s worth it either, besides, to help me fight against the temptation to do so, I have put together something that calms me.

Now it’s not at all political, but I have a slide show of Palin that I play with the below music.

This exercice helps me to forget all about politics or flame some moron on the internet.

Enjoy the dance.

Reader’s Digest Condensed Version:

“I am not a Sarah Palin hater, but she’s a tool of the Republican Establishment, and won’t tell us if she’s going to run, but never mind because she isn’t going to run, even if she does run she isn’t going to even try to win, her most dedcated supporters have given up on her and want nothing to do with her campaign...oh, wait a minute, there is no campaign...where was I...oh yes, she’s taking all the Tea Party resources away from the other Republican candidates, just the fact that people think she might run is sabotaging other candidates that might have a chance of beating Romney, she didn’t endorse any Utah candidates but didn’t burn Orrin Hatch at the stake either, Machiavelli insinuations, repeats himself that she’s a Republican Establishment shill and a betrayer of the Tea Party, ends with, oh, how sad, she’s so effective at putting the wool over everyone’s eyes that she’s an Establishment tool” Did I honestly miss anything?

You can just save time with anything you see in the future that has the preamble “I’m not a Sarah Palin hater but...” Vegas odds say the following paragraphs are almost guaranteed to drop steaming from the southern end of a northbound Angus.

Hmmm. Is someone trying to sow discontent against Sarah, in the face of the possibility that she’ll run?

Palin has made absolutely no moves that are consistent with a candidate that is actually preparing to run for the presidency that I am aware of. She has hired no field staff, has put no organization on the ground in IA, NH, or SC, has not met with the big ticket donors that could kick off a campaign (especially relevant since Palin doesn’t have a large cache of personal wealth to draw from), and hasn’t to my knowledge had meetings with any of the state and county-level power brokers in these states to discuss their willingness to help her potential candidacy.

Dead wrong on all 4 counts... Thanks for playing.

Chaffetz endorsed Milt. Despite this, I hope he beats Hatch. Anyone who leaves Sarah b/c she offered kind words to Hatch needs to find a candidate who has NEVER supported someone not to your liking. Good luck! Bob

It’s all about putting together a coalition. Tea Party backing alone can’t win the general election. yes Orrin is not the best we could do in Utah, but if he has and will continue to stand up for SP, then this is part of what has to be. Sarah Palin, as much support as she has, can not go around and pick fights everywhere, but if she wins the presidency and her policies do turn the country around, maybe she will increase her capital and be able to purge a few more rinos.

If Palin is as horrible as the establishment Republicans say, you’d think they wouldn’t be looking for her to endorse anyone they favor.
