“Palin hasn’t done much the last 3 years besides enrich herself...”

Hasn’t done much, huh?

For people like you who expect others to do the heavy lifting for them, it is as if the 2010 elections and the work that was done to gain that victory, never happened.

The only way the “gravy train” slows down is more Tea Party Conservatives getting elected to the House and Senate who will have the nerve put the Country above politics.

Agreed. That is the key.

“The only thing she didn’t do was cover the areas she needed to make a run for President.”

That had nothing to do with why she didn’t run, and I disagree.

Well at least I can’t be too stupid if you’re still bothering with me.

Still haven’t answered my question...Given our choices that remain, and your ignorant position on Cain, which RINO are you going to support and vote for?

What’s that??? You’re going to sit it all out and laugh?

I guess you don’t have kids that will have to inherit this mess in the future. Just screw the rest of us and our kids. And I’m sure you’ve never heard the phrase “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Of course that only applies if your a ‘good’ man.

Bury your head in the sand...yup...a great tactic. And very patriotic. Yup.

There was a huge sigh of relief from the White House and DNC HQ’s, too.

Bummer. I know I’m bummed about it.

I didn’t support Sarah, but I will tell you one thing. ....... She will be by far the most searched out endorsement in the GOP primary. Count on it.

Ooh how original. And mature.

I thought you were gonna go off and watch bugs er something.

Since you obviously don’t give a damn about this country, why do you even bother posting on a political forum? Are all yer bugs already dead?

I agree. Without Rick Santelli and Sarah Palin, 2010 would have looked a hell of a lot different.

Sadly I feel like you do, it was never about Palin, it was about who and what she represented, all that was good and right about our country, and the people big and small that understood what is at risk.

I see no one on the scene that could articulate the problems that we face. It is indeed a sad day for me, because I will no likely live to see another opportunity to clean the cesspool called DC.

I understood completely why she resigned the Governorship, I will never understand why she abandoned her supporters, to be devoured by the republican establishment again. No matter the cost, I was never in any imminent danger when I served but I was always ready to give it all because it was what I swore to do.

Since Reagan we have had a litany of RINO establishment flunkies all of which were failures even the ones, both Bushs, that got elected. Now the ultimate RINO looms on the forefront to yet again sell us out a little at a time.

My appologies to Jim, but she should have fought to the death if necessary, because it is just that important.

"Have you read Cain’s resume? Compared it side by side with Palin’s? There is no comparison..."

It's a measure of the irrationality of SOME Palin supporters that they would even question this. And that they would regard pointing it out as an insult to Palin.

CEO, Regional Fed Board Chair, head of the National Restaurant Association, BS in mathematics, MS in computer science, naval ballistics analyst, pastor and talk show host and member of multiple boards of directors. In sum, he has be a very serious, successful business leader.

Palin, on the other hand, was a 2 year governor, Oil and Gas Commissioner and mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. She has a BA in journalism.

Palin was a GOOD governor. But the total resume simply doesn't stack up. Now it's one thing to say that nothwithstnding this, you find Palin inspirational, that you agree more with her views, or whatever. There's a lot to be said for her.

But to pretend that she's objectively more qualified than Cain is delusional.

Palin’s strength and ability to lead has never been in doubt in my mind. But I believe her lack of experience in 2008 left her unprepared for the endless partisan attacks from the MSM and the backstabbing from McCain’s own people.

Agreed about her strength. I really thought that had she announced she was running it would have been a Bobby Kennedy-esque rise to the lead. I don't know if she could have beaten Obama - to be fair he is very good at campaigning (if little else).

I will be interested in seeing what Sarah does now. I can't see here raising much money for SarahPAC though a broad-based approach. I would anticipate that they will target big and/or consistent donors and market some sort of "inside access" to Sarah (at a higher price)...something like You can be part of the braintrust that will help mold the future of the Conservative movement in our Republic.

I kind of hope this isn't the case - but the money has to come from somewhere.

You and I got it at the same time, I changed my tagline after that appearance. Up until then I believed she would step up.

Sad day for me, likely I will not live to see another opportunity to really see a restoration of the Republic, on the other hand I could die off and miss what I see as inevitable, and it will not be pretty.

God may however hold me responsible for what I have left for my children and grandchildren. I shudder at the thought.

Saying your sorry sometimes is just not good enough. She had a duty and rejected it, this 73 year old vet will die before his country does, thank God.
