Mrs. Pee is the only nasty piece of work that I see around here. I have now read through this entire thread and I smell a ZOT coming in a big way for you MP. You are clearly begging for it...lol.
No, you had a very public meltdown. You attacked with unfounded accusations and then wonder why people are angry. There is no room in politics for the emotionalism you have been displaying. Conservatives use reason and logic. Liberals are emotion based. You need to sit and think about it.
Just settle down, relax and take a deep breath. You are not helping matters. Anger is not what you need more of right now.
Take a day off to get away from the keyboard and maybe get some fresh air.
D, you are seriously starting to scare me! Is it that bad? You aren’t going to hurt yourself.. are you???
So what does an army do when it’s general goes AWOL? Sarah Palin has left the field and her army is dazed and confused. As one that has supported and battled on her behave ever since McCain introduced her to the American people I am bitterly disappointed in her decision not to seek the 2012 GOP nomination for the presidency of the USA. Sarah knows how to talk the talk but has a problem walking the walk. Thank goodness this nation had real leaders in it past that were willing to make the sacrifices necessary to see the country thru the crises or our past. Where would we be today if General Washington declined the moment to stay in Virgina and take care of Martha? Dido millions of other Americans that risked all in defense of this great nation.
Yes it is dangerous to be the point of the spear but without a point there is no spear. Without a leader there is no movement, without a general there is no army.
Political suicide is not a pretty thing to watch and Sarah political suicide will be particularly ugly. She has just proven all her detractors correct.
I was never really about winning, although winning was doable. It was about fighting the good fight, saving the nation from the corrupt political class that is ruining this country. Giving G*d fearing patriots a dog in the fight. As a candidate Sarah could have controlled the dialog and shined a light on the crony capitalism infesting D.C. Her value as a private citizen that has declined to join the battle will be greatly diminished. Why should anyone listen to a person that does not have the courage of her convictions? Now we have nothing but more of the same to look forward to. Meet the new boss same as the old boss. If anyone thinks any of the GOP candidates are going to clean up D.C I have a bridge in NYC for sale that might interest you.
The enemy is not the Democrats, the enemy is the corrupt political class that is ruling this country. Republicans as well as Democrats voted to bail out GM. Republicans as well as Democrats voted to bail out the banks. Republicans as well as Democrats voted to bail out Wall Street. The corrupt ruling class is so in your face that it gave itself millions of dollars in bonuses after bring about the near economic collapse of the country. Talk about “let them eat cake” is it possible to be more out of touch then that?
Well I don’t know what the rest of Sarahs’ army is going to do but this solder is going AWOL too. If my general doesn’t think the country is worth fighting for any longer then who am I to think otherwise? My garden needs tending, the house news a new roof and I have lots of other chores that need doing. As I am no longer a young man I only have one or two fights left in me and since the fight for 2012 has been canceled I’d better tend to personal business.
I wish Sarah nothing but the best in her personal life as a political leader I am finished with her.
Palin fails to decide in time(she wasn't fast enough for you!) that she won't run and all of a sudden all the hard work she has done for years and years means nothing!
With supporters like you the country has a really bright future!
Sorry you didn't get "YOUR " way but that's how it goes some times.
I’m stealing that..ROFLOL!
So you didn’t get “your” way and now you don’t want to play(there is a marble over there in the corner you missed). I guess The fact that Palin will undoubtedly help countless candidates both in the House and Senate get elected and reelected is just not good enough for you.I’m so sorry.
You're wrong. She is leading from a position of no constraints. It's just not the way you wanted or expected. But she IS still leading.
I now see that mrspeelwerneeded has been granted some time away from FreeRepublic. I hope and pray she’ll be able to be healed from whatever psychic pain caused that meltdown.
You better explain what you meant better than that. Here’s your chance. It’s not time to be so prideful. Say you want to rephase your words to express your meaning better. Don’t be blaming or threatening me or others because of what you post!
Swallow your pride - and explain exactly what you meant for the board sake and yours - if indeed, you meant anything differently. Who knows.
“Political suicide is not a pretty thing to watch”
You are wrong. It wasn’t suicide. It was murder by a zillion cuts. What did you want her to do? Sell her soul?
I just read your post.
By coincidence I posted some of the same thoughts this morning.
I and a lot of FReepers understand exactly your point, most of us are thinking many of those same thoughts and disappointments.
However as one in similar shoes, I would just encourage you to wait for more data.
Palin’s been pretty much exactly on the mark, as long as I’ve seen. Consistently. For the right reasons.
We may not fully understand yet, her plans.
Let’s give her the time and opportunity to show us.
If she doesn’t, then give up. But not yet.
“I know you and many like you don’t like to hear it, but even though we all voice our opinions now just look at the state of this nation! It will now play out. And Palin does not matter”
Are you a DNC troll or do you have a horse in the race. You sound like a real hater.
You really think people are going to care what she thinks now that she has refused to be a leader? We need leaders that lead not more talking heads that just talk. I’ll bet that her appeal, her ablity to attract a crowd and her role in promoting candidates will be greatly dimished. You have to walk the walk and well as talk the talk.
Meanwhile we have on of two conservative rock stars, Sarah Palin, the other being Marco Rubio, who can energize crowds, raise money, and get our conservative candidates elected, and all we do here is savage her.Go figure.
Actually asked for and got the zot. :)
