Sarah Palin will not run for president. She made the announcement in a letter to supporters Wednesday night.
Read Palin’s letter here:
October 5, 2011 Wasilla, Alaska After much prayer and serious consideration, I have decided that I will not be seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for President of the United States. As always, my family comes first and obviously Todd and I put great consideration into family life before making this decision. When we serve, we devote ourselves to God, family and country. My decision maintains this order.
My decision is based upon a review of what common sense Conservatives and Independents have accomplished, especially over the last year. I believe that at this time I can be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office – from the nation’s governors to Congressional seats and the Presidency. We need to continue to actively and aggressively help those who will stop the “fundamental transformation” of our nation and instead seek the restoration of our greatness, our goodness and our constitutional republic based on the rule of law....

Wishful thinking, there is no cure for these woulds, not in my life time and probably not yours or any othe person living today.
I said right after the Election that we had just underwent a bloodless coup, no one believed me, well get ready, he is about to shamelessly reveal his true self.
God help us for we are surely working hard to bring judgement upon ourselves.
She should have stood up to the media. She could have beat them. She caved. She quit. She doesn’t have it in her to be great. We were duped...
You had best get a handle on your big mouth..........Seriously.
I pushed it for you.
That was a vile post.
It’d work for me.
With all due respect - stop being a dumb*ss. She's still young, so plenty of time for her to be President. And her getting people actually fired up about politics again? Priceless.
You weren't a fool. Well, no more than the rest of us :)
You want to know what I have heard ad nauseum the past year?........ That the chance Sarah is running 100%, and everyone else on earth in the race is a slimey scum sucking RINO. Delusional Palinites just will not eat crow.
Highly doubt she will endorse anyone before the process plays out. And then she'll happily join the nominee on the campaign trail- whoever it is.
I don't believe ABO is a winning strategy, so that's where Palin and I part ways.
I don’t know that I believe she is destroyed politically. 4 to 8 years is a long time for the ground to change under our feet.
Will she be part of the next Administration and if so, in what role? Will that give her the cred she needs? Secretary of Energy? Chief of Staff? Head of the RNC?
It’s a long way until the next round and her NATIONAL support is a lot different than her Freeper support. The people on here are enthusiasts, the other multiple millions probably aren’t the least bit surprised given that there have been 3 debates and she hasn’t been in any of them. The average voter probably thought a LONG TIME AGO that she wasn’t running, given her absence.
Sarah is probably destroyed politically by a 100 or so enthusiasts on FR - in 4 or 8 years there are tens of millions who may have been watching her in whatever she does over this same time and will support her. Or she may be done, nobody here knows because nobody here knows what is going to happen in the next 12 months much less the next 96 months.
You are mistaken; most of the abuse has come from the PDS’ers like you
Thank you for your concerns but no thanks. The war has only now begun. Time to reload!
Herman Cain.
I loved Sarah, I think she was the best candidate for the job, but practically, she was also a risky choice. The media has spent a lot of time programming the idiots who voted for Obama, so they would think Sarah was a bad choice.
I believe this nation has a destiny, and I believe in our story, things happen for a reason. This will turn out to be a good thing in the end, simply because our nation’s story is destined be a good one.
Keep the faith. Who knows, with our nation’s good luck, a RINO will get the nod, he’ll have to take Sarah on as VP to placate the Tea Party, and then he’ll choke on some caviar his first day in office. Viola’, President Palin.
Indeed they are days of awe!
Which post are you referring to? I reviewed the recorded posts and I'm not seeing anything vile. Please identify the post number so I can review what I was supposed to have posted. I'm not seeing it...
So where's the vile part? She's on TV tonight making millions explaining why she DIDN'T run! So much for TEA Party leadership. We were duped...
It was removed. That is why you can't find it. It was vile.
FWIW, it was post 281.
