Governor Sarah Palin posed the question Who is running our country? in her latest Facebook note:
Who is running our country? Weve got a CIA Director sharing security info with his mistress using an unsecure gmail account. Weve got the delusional Susan Rice blaming the death of an ambassador on a Youtube video. Weve got Iran firing on one of our drones a week before the election. Weve got the White House either ignorant of or covering up all of this. Who is minding the store? Everywhere we look we see the rank incompetence or corruption of the people who are supposedly running our country and our major institutions. Lets hope that responsible reporters at Obamas press conference today ask the right questions Americans deserve answers to.
Heres my question for the president: As our nations chief executive you claim to be unaware of the most important and tragic situations were facing; so, as a former chief executive, Id like to know how long it takes for your staff to tell you things like: Sir, your CIA Director is under investigation?
- Sarah Palin
The question was rhetorical.
Rhetorical question, FRiends...
Stupid words are the responses from those that want to besmirch and demean her to feed their own personal egos! That is kinda funny, since she has a record of accomplishment for CONSERVATIVES, both fiscal and economic. Most of these jerks never tried to pull a net full of big Salmon, nor chaired an Energy Commission which resulted in more revenue for EVERY ALASKAN FAMILY!!! They just like to opine their negatives, just like the DIMS...
I'd like to see those folk say it when Todd is present! Really, I doubt the words would come out the same! I'd bet on it! It's so easy to be anonymous!
Problem is, every Democrat and about 1/3 of all Republicans would do everything in their power to make sure that never happens.
We’d have to fix all the voting Machines that change the name to Obama , and also all fix the countless other democrat voting fraud techniques first then run Sarah Palin.
I wish Sarah would’ve run. I think she believed that running against the MSM/leftist machine would’ve been detrimental to the party and country. I do wish she’d of tried. Hopefully, the future holds a place for her in restoring our country.
I had a feeling about all those write-in votes...
Smugness isn’t becoming of you.
Go Sarah!
He's a pantomime president. They tell him when they think he needs to know.
If she read a newspaper once in awhile, she’d be up on current events.
I would, if she’d run.
IMHO..
The Reason Sarah Palin did not run for office, in addition Rick Santorum is because they are *Bible believing Christians*
They could see a world changing, morphing into *Godlessness*
A World that was embracing abortion and masking it as Women’s Healthcare issues...
A World embracing *Gay Marriage* and masking it as equal rights..
A World embracing *Entitlements* and masking it as American Values....
GOD would never Bless our country as long as it’s people are embracing these abominations...
Sarah Palin saw the Country for the shape that it is truly in, one that she could not fix with her conservative politics, one she could only pray for..
America has lost it’s values, because it has lost it’s soul....
If people refuse to come back to GOD, we can only pray for mercy and do what GOD would have us to do...
I would vote for Sarah in a heartbeat, but you don’t need to worry about it because she will never run..... and she shouldn’t put herself and her family through that nonsense for what is left of this country.
Frankly, I am disgusted at the animosity and hatred towards her that is apparent from far too many on this conservative site. Not one of us knows the reasons why she chose not to run. All I know is that days before her announcement Sarah's demeanor and disposition changed. This tells me she was threatened and, for now was left with no choice.
If the conservatives on this site really want to change minds to the conservative way, you must not continue to slam the one person who continues to fight for conservatism with no strings attached. Have you ever thought that reality TV gigs were a strategy to get into the minds of the opposition, to make a connection. It must have done something right, because Sarah's endorsements won their races at a 62% clip.
Frankly, it is disturbing how she has been treated by a growing number of participants on this site.
That is what they said about Reagan and it was true, "Ronnie Raygun", the right wing nut case could never win an election while he was in the background and the media was handling and controlling all discussion of him, but when he campaigned on his ideas, and put himself in front of the public, he won people over and became the winner.
Palin is a healer and a Reagan like campaigner, divisive Governors do not have 93% approval ratings and become the most popular Governor in America, and perhaps history.
Give Palin a billion dollars to run her own campaign machine as the Presidential nominee of the Republican party, and she would win.
Romney proved to be the political loser that he has ALWAYS been during his 20 year history of thinking that record spending could buy him elections.
Twenty years of campaigning, record spending in every campaign, and all Romney could show for it is losing to Jimmy Carter, and having a single term in office that he left with 34% approval.
You are right. This thread has been amazing. So many freepers think all Sarah can do to serve the Republic is run for PResident. Sheesh, are we so uncreative that there is only one job in the nation worth having?
And so many think 2012 was her “one chance.” How can they know that?
And then there are the geniuses who don’t understand the rhetorical question as a communication device. Its effective, and always has been.
Amazingly sad thread...
And many who post negative remarks about Palin never had any intention to vote for or support her from the beginning. It makes no sense to claim that you support someone’s views, only to reject them because they chose not to run. They were never supporters anyway.
In many cases, they are supporters of a competitor - such as the Romney bots were when he was running.
Well, I am going to try to ignore the sanctimony and support the conservative candidate. If she wants to form another party, I am there. They can tell me that I am the problem, but I will simply go back and look at the vote tallies in the last several elections to see that I lose nothing by supporting a conservative, since the RINOS like Romney can’t win even when the economy is in the tank.
We have been set up and I am not playing any more.
