Palin’s Poker Face
us4palin.com ^ | September 29, 2011 | Jelayne Sessler

Posted on 09/29/2011 6:39:23 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Last night I wrote my thoughts on just what might possibly be going on in the Palin camp (which we know is comprised of Sarah and Todd):

Have you watched her interviews over the past few months? The commentary she uses to defer the “BIG question” is either, “still contemplating the huge life-changing decision” or more famously – “do I need a title to make a difference?”

It seems to me these statements are more like her “I can’t announce right here and now” rebuttal – and it’s absolutely brilliant. She keeps the world guessing, gives the media the runaround, and formulates a strategy to give her competitors the shock of their life.

The purpose of this verbiage is to create an atmosphere for complete and total surprise. It’s her “poker face,” her “expressionless face,” a face without any interpretable expression – as that of a good poker player, someone who doesn’t show any emotion of reaction so that people don’t know what they are planning.

Tonight Governor Palin spoke with Judge Napolitano on the Fox Business Channel. When asked about her plans for 2012 she replied, “You know, I hold my political cards close to my chest, I’ve certainly learned lessons along those lines and I’m going to continue to do that until I’m ready to make an announcement – this is a serious decision and I’m engaged in serious deliberations and within the next 24 hours don’t look for me to make a decision.”

All I have to say is, remind me never to play a hand of poker with the Governor.

It appears Palin is succeeding at #22 with several of the PDS crowd.

Stop trying. She’s not. You PDS trolls are the problem...for yourselves and honest discussion on FR. As I said, leave us poor deluded cultists to our mistaken beliefs and go support whomever you wish.

I think I speak for many Palin supporters when saying ... We won’t miss your ‘help’.

Palin is either incredibly smart at strategy, or incredibly dumb.

If she is incredibly dumb, then why would you be so stressed, because your candidate will thrash her.
But if her strategy is sound, that would make you look like a babbling fool now wouldn’t it?
I think we will find the answer soon enough.

The hardest part in all this is having to log on to FR every day, and see blithering PDS on every thread with her name on it, and many that don’t have anything to do with her.

If she does not announce/run, so be it. But if she does, It’s going to be awful tempting to rub their noses in it. I’m sure they would return the favor.

Bingo. This describes all the conservatives I know. What they DO know is that Romney isn’t an option. Beyond that, it is a waiting game for the best conservative left standing.

Palin would be better, but you know if Cain somehow runs away with it from here (not likely but what if) that would be ok as well. What we do not want is another out-of-left-field McCain at the last minute. That would be like getting left with Ron Paul at the end. But you know what? Left with no other choice he’s a no brainer against Obama. At least the spending problem might get solved.

I leave it for people to see that this all you got.

No analysis, no discussion just the Race Card, um I mean, the PDS Card, and “LEAVE SARAH PALIN ALONE!”

But, as always, you contribute to my evening mirth (as expected).

For that I thank you, as always.

BLUCHER!

People try to help you understand why Gov. Palin is a problem, using current information

Unless you care to explain yourself, I am making your post a nominee for the dumbest post of the month.

Are you depressed that Perry is tanking, or are you just depressed? There has to be a clinical reason for making such an asinine statement.

Very simple sweetheart, I am a supporter and I am on the threads that have to do with SP. Does that compute? He is a PDS’er and why would he go on a thread that is about someone he does not support unless it is to trash her.

While they’re at it, they can go see your history of PDS and asinine commentary at...

Or are you gonna accuse me of ‘cyberstalking’ for posting that again?

Easy.

She. Isn’t. Running.

And she strings along her supporters, to their detriment. And the hesitation of her admission she won’t run is detrimental to Conservatives.

Now. YOU get to admit the dumbest post of the month — or the year. Since if you can’t do 1+1=2 then you really can’t be counted on to do much else...

Don’t you know? You are supposed to support her silently and let every other candidate’s supporter blab endlessly.

That’s the ‘fair’ thing to do after all..... ;)

Sorry, with every post you look even dumber. Almost dug to China now. Be careful when you break through.

That is all you do. You seem to be fascinated with me (which I understand). All you have is cyberstalking and quote mining. But I can see your obsession with me. It’s OK. I hide from nothing.

OTOH I have never wasted a single search on you. Other than your occasional (inadvertent to you) funny post, you are pretty much a zero.

I guess we'll know soon.

I have no idea if she's running and neither do you.

I do know however, that your post definitely has worst post of the month flavor all over it.

Congrats.

You never answered my question, are you depressed that Perry is tanking, or just depressed?

I am! I am fascinated you had the presence of mind to name yourself so aptly and I want EVERYONE to share in that realization!

Yes, everyone can see the cleverness of such a response. Should they be devastated by the depth of your analysis or the cut of your wit?

Oh wait! Your kindergarten posted had neither!

Good night I won’t waste any more of my time on fools and children. You are both.

Great photograph. I love it. My compliments!

I have listened to Sarah's interview with the Judge twice now. Governor Sarah Palin will be our next president, along with First Dude, Todd Palin. I can't wait for that slimy bunch in DC react to this new beginning for America.

EAGLES UP SARAH...WE HAVE YOUR BACK, AND PALIN PATRIOTS WILL BE HERE WHEN YOU LIGHT THE LATERN OF REVOLUTION!

Well, I was wondering why someone in the past has not been a PDS’er and yet asked me a really stupid question. It is almost like he did not see the tagline.
