Something made her drop out and disappear.
I think she sort of did a Perot-Drop on the Conservatives,
got everyone all charged up and ready to follow, like the people of Hamelin following the Piped Piper.
But, that’s okay.
She didn’t run.
The Conservatives in the Middle and on the Right and even
the Patriots on the Left can go for a GOOD GUY.
We can still WIN, you know.
Ziegler actually told her to wait til 2016..then he bitches about her not running and going on Mark Levin..OMG God forbid, she actually went on a nationally known radio show, instead of Fox News..BIG FREAKIN DEAL. Mark Levin is a great man, and has supported her from the beginning. I am glad she chose his show to make the announcement..Ziegler is a prick who loves the attention..probably asked her out on a date and he refused. She actually invited this guy into her house, hope she had it fumigated after wards
I do know that history, and agree with you. Besides President Bush, I think only Sarah Palin can compete as far as the most viciously attacked, villified, and abused person in the political arena.
But there’s still something else going on, at least in my opinion. I almost picked up a hint of resentment that Michele Bachmann will, after this is all over, be the first woman to be able to have the “title” of former candidate for POTUS.
I do not like Bachmann’s tactics and do not support her as a candidate...and haven’t for quite some time.
I just really got a sense that something has changed about Sarah. I hope I’m wrong, I really do.
Ziegler has been a bitter, sick bastard for a long time.
Yeah LOL I mean its common sense people!! She is a paid commentator..and that is exactly what she is doing. The ones who say she is after her 15 min of fame never liked her to begin with. But hey it’s all good, haters gonna hate
Nah its not resentment towards running or possibly winning, its that she sees Bachmann as a backstabbing phony who screwed her over. Go to ANY Pro Palin blog or board, no one there would vote for Bachmann, because of exactly what I posted above
“but that non-candidacy bus tour of hers was for what purpose?”
Her fans on FR were convinced that once she got the bus, it was a sure sign that she was running. As one who never bought into the Palin worship, I felt she was going to run at that point too...why else would you paint a bus and go on a tour? So people on both ends of the Palin spectrum came to the same conclusion but it didn’t happen. Your question is a good one. I am sure someone will say that Palin ‘brilliantly’ planned this for some reason.
John Ziegler is a loose cannon and, IMHO, slightly unbalanced and unpredictable.
Again, I agree with you, but something still seemed different about her. I’m quite likely wrong about what exactly it is, but I really picked up a different tone.
Anyhow, Happy New Year to you! :^)
Yeah Im not a good body language reader LOL. But hey maybe you see something I don’t :-) Happy New Year to you too!!
Bingo!
I just read the transcript. You’re right. I retract. I was positive I heard Rush say what I wrote. I hate it when I do that. Sorry.
RUSH: If he runs for president again he’s gonna be that much ahead of the game the next time around if he does it. This is his first time. But on the substance and the issues and the policy, there’s one thing I know about Santorum, and I look at the endgame of this. The campaign is one thing and the troubles that people have, but I know that if Rick Santorum were elected president, I wouldn’t have one doubt any day what he would be fighting for, not one. And it would be great if he could get there. I totally agree with you about that.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
Heh.. It sounds like a Trump/Palin turd party run is in the making.
Oh good grief. There is nothing different about Sarah - other than that she is getting older and perhaps wiser like the rest of us. Palin is doing political commentary on Fox News and getting paid a million bucks a year to do so. She's supposed to say interesting, thought provoking and sometimes controversial things. That is her job. Suggesting that Bachmann should consider dropping out isn't a stab in the back, it isn't some secret Sun Tzu like strategy, it isn't shaping the battlefield for some ridiculous late entry, etc, etc. Sarah is doing what she is paid to do - and on this issue she is probably right. Bachmann blew up her campaign over the HPV thing and never recovered. The screeching and wailing over the 12 year old girls that never actually got the HPV vaccinations (mental retardation inducing vaccinations if you believe Bachmann) sunk her for good.
Childish and petty? This is a man who went on a limb for her. I agree with every single thing he says. This last thing with Bachmann is outrageous. She lost so much of her credibility. I didn’t even know that she asked for money and now keeps it. Shame on her. And shame on you for having blinders on and not admitting that maybe, just maybe, you are wrong.
Palin endorsed Mitt Romney? When was that?
No one was more prepared than I to jump on the Palin bandwagon, but I have no sense of being jilted at all. We don’t deserve Palin-types yet, so I’m not surprised at all that someone of her ilk could easily resist the urge to “lead” a corrupt nation. No matter how you parse it, a significant portion of America is souless, diseased, and morally bankrupt. Decent people can’t live amidst such decay without losing that which they cherish most: A strong moral and centered life. Nope, I don’t blame her one bit.
