Sarah Palin Confirms Participation in Tea Party Debate [RUMOR]

A nightstick the size of a telephone poll and the muscle to wield it effortlessly!
WATCH HER FIGHT LIKE A GIRL!



"Mr. _resident, GAME ON!" APRIL 16, 2011

Amid much speculation about whether or not Sarah Palin will choose to run in the 2012 presidential election, the former Alaskan Governor has announced she will participate in a nationally televised Tea Party Republican Debate.



Although Palin will take part in the debate in the Sept. 12 debate in Tampa, Fla., she still has yet to confirm that she is looking to become a presidential hopeful. However, the 2008 vice presidential candidate seems to be dropping hints via her Twitter page.

"America is waiting for the president to make good on this promise," Palin recently posted on Twitter. "I'll be talking about this and more."

Although Palin will join Rep. Michele Bachmann, former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, businessman Herman Cain, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman on Sept. 12, some say she is only confusing her supporters.

Erick Erickson, said Palin is misleading her constituents.

"We are coming to the end of the line for Sarah Palin's ability to string the Republican primary voters along," Erickson wrote. "They are trying to settle on a candidate now, they've held out hope of her entry and

This type of immaturity is why I cannot support Palin. You do not hear these tantrums coming from supporters of any other candidate.

Blah, blah, blah...

Rule number one when working for Governor Palin is that you keep your mouth shut. I don't know why some people here have a hard time grasping his.

She is traveling, speaking, writing: in general looking "Presidential" while the kids are chunking rocks at each other. It really is amazing to watch. And like I said, come Saturday afternoon. Its going to get real ugly in here.

It's not even Labor Day and she never promised you or any of her supporters a traditional campaign. In fact, she's said all along the polar opposite. She has been quoted as stating that she will make her announcement by the end of this month and maybe as late as October, so I guess we will bid you good bye with thanks for your support.

Governor Palin is a most serious warrior for my Tea Party conservative values and I remain solidly in her camp and eagerly and faithfully await her announcement.

In the interim, she has my prayers, my saved money and when she's ready, I 'll be ready to GO ROGUE WITH HER!

TGO was polite and I was not impressed by the candidate. I’ve read enough about him and I know where he’s coming from. It’s way too early to even think about settling for a lesser candidate with too many outstanding problems. Just think if he were allowed to sail to the nomination? He wouldn’t be beholden to the Tea Party or to conservatives at all. Sarah Palin MUST RUN! We have to have a true Tea Party challenger.

The last thing we need is a 27 year career politician in DC who would fit right in with the other career, fossil incumbents. I think we’ve had our fill of all that reaching across the aisle crap for our life times, and this guy is a former democrat to boot!

"Just freekin announce or STFU..."

STFU? To whom are you addressing this? Since you are obviously quite intelligent, try to bear in mind that out of everything you have read here, none of it was written by Palin.

When and if she does actually decide to join the Debate, I'm sure she will say so. Until then, don't blame her because the RINO's and the Left want to drag you around by the ring in your snout. Discard the ring, and nobody will be able to do that. Least of all Palin.

There are some among us in FR who just want to whine and moan. They try to cast reflection on Palin as being the cause of wearing out their patience. And all they are are supporters of some other candidate...a bunch of trolls sowing seeds of discontent.

None of this is her fault. The press can’t get enough of her.

I've given Palin pass after pass. At some point, I get tired of all this. What really irked me is what happened with Christine O'Donnell. Reeked of someone being thrown under the bus and catty diva syndrome and NO ONE gave any straight answers. Doesn't anyone on her staff know how to handle the press by now? You'd think they'd have a few professionals in the mix.

“He walks the walk of a true conservative,” Palin writes. “And he sticks by his guns — and you know how I feel about guns.”

As is the case for most party primaries, Texas’ will be a struggle for the far reaches of the faithful, who have historically been much more likely to turn out in a spring election. Palin praises Perry’s stand against federal bailouts and his opposition to abortion.

“Not every child is born into ideal circumstances,” Palin adds, “but every life is sacred. Rick Perry knows this — it is at the core of his being.”

Hi FRiend! I saw “The Undefeated” on the dish last night. Loved it. It was 2 hours of great information, and no fluff.
I am even more impressed with Sarah after getting more details on her work in Alaska.

From the movie:

Sarah doesn’t
1)Throw like a girl
2)Bow to anyone

I love Sarah because Sarah loves my country.

How in the hell can she be part of a debate without being a candidate? Am I missing something here?

If you're missing something then so am I.

It makes no sense for someone to confirm that they will participate in a candidates' debate without first announcing that they are a candidate.

If the TPX folks allow this of Sarah then that will be a mistake.

Hiya caww.

Well, thanks sweet you, but that’s one of my oncerns with that particular candidate. 27 year career politicians are used to making *deals* -— reaching across the aisle -— compromsing with the demonic-rats. It’s in their DNA.

IMO, we aren’t working our hearts out and our butts off to send Tea Party patriots to Congress only to have fossil incumbents and career politicians sell them out....again.

Now we have another unsourced "report" from the Christian Post (an organization I have no familiarity with at all), and you blame Palin for what this author puts out?

I do for one reason--she does not actively squelch these rumors as soon as they hit. She allows them to gain traction for way to long before saying anything.

Rumors like these are like traps set to make Palin appear indecisive. They seem to be deliberate attempts to discredit her. I hope she announces sooner than later. Lies told often enough unfortunately become truth to the masses.

I'm not happy with her now. If she hasn't announced by tomorrow, I'm going all in for Perry.

You and me both. I might give her until her N.H. appearance but that's about it.

She has already passed my deadline. Perry is closest to my principles AND who has a chance to win. (Via the southern strategy that has won for republicans the last 5 or 6 republican presidents)

Those who try to map some kind of northern strategy for Romney are out of their minds. It won’t work. Michigan, Ohio, PA, NJ, Massachusetts, etc....that is pure pipe dream.

In any case, though, I want to hear from Sarah Palin. I want to hear a solid “yes” or “no” to whether or not she’s running.

All your whining and blaming Palin is lame and smacks of hidden agenda on your part.

If you want to blame Palin for all the media coverage she may get, you are not a very discerning person nor are you honest.
