The Republican Party has been doing a lot of hand-wringing and finger-pointing since the presidential election. Half the conservative columnists and bloggers say the GOP lost because it overemphasized social issues such as abortion and gay marriage. The other half says the party didn't emphasize them enough. And everyone denounces Project ORCA, the campaign's attempt to turn out voters via technology.
But I've got a suggestion for cutting short the GOP angst: Sarah Palin for president in 2016.
You think I'm joking? Think again.

Yes, that could have happened.
For whatever reason she quit, she still quit.
The RNC did help with some of her legal expenses.
So, to sum it up, she was elected as governor, no one drafted her, she chose to seek the office.
She quit the office.
She waited until the last moment to let her supporters know she wasn't going to enter the primaries
She isn't running for anymore offices-get over it.
I didn't know losing money was a reason to quit an elected office.
You defenders of her really have a low standard for leadership.
You're the poster with the pathetic obsession, Palinhater.
THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
THE SIGNERS
Gary Hildrith
Have you ever wondered what happened to the fifty-six men who signed the Declaration of Independence? This is the price they paid:
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the fifty-six fought and died from wounds or hardships resulting from the Revolutionary War.
These men signed, and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor!

Obviously you don't know very much.
I agree with your assessments. She’s a born leader and one in a trillion. If anyone can beat the odds, it’s her.
I continue to pray for the Marxist’s downfall right along with the lamestream, because without that, there likely won’t be much left to save, just like you said.
Apparently, Boehner doesn’t understand that we elected House members to stop the demonic-rats, not to “go along to get along,” and please the media.
Nice try at rewriting history there. That Sarah Palin and her family were being bankrupted by Obozo instigated, malicious, but idiotic law-suites(all of which were ultimately dismissed) is not in doubt. Whatever money's she made was AFTER she'd resigned as governor.
“For whatever reason she quit, she still quit”
Being made bankrupt is reason enough for anyone.
“So, to sum it up, she was elected as governor, no one drafted her, she chose to seek the office.”
To sum it up, you need to stop smoking crack and spewing out garbage nonstop when you wake up in the mornings.
“She quit the office”
For a better reason than anyone else I can think of.
“She waited until the last moment to let her supporters know she wasn't going to enter the primaries”
So which is it that bothers you then? You are not one of her supporters so what do you care one way or another?
Sure, I'd have backed her over any other presidential candidate, but then its not up to me to dictate to anyone whether they should run for president or not. Its a very personal decision. Get over it already.
“She isn't running for anymore offices-get over it.”
And just how would you know that?
I have no idea of she will run for office again in her lifetime or not, but then unlike you, I don't presume to make a diktat one way or another. You may need to get a life, instead of obsessing over Sarah Palin.

Exactly how does one carry on with the business of taking care of a large family including very young children (let alone governing a state), when one is being rendered bankrupt with legal expenses from an endless stream of politically instigated law suites, and legal expenses that are several times higher than one’s salary from being governor?
Its kinda funny, how obsessive loony left crazies like you keep spewing out your mindless garbage over and over again on every Plain thread, shrilly demanding that others sacrifice their families for their office, even while at the same time you left wing nuts have never been known to be prepared even the slightest inconvenience to yourselves for the greater good.
LOL, why would you want conservatives to lose their top asset?
You have a very odd agenda to be posting among conservatives.
This stalking by Lakeshark is getting out of hand, this is basically the same post on thread after thread, totally unrelated to the threads, or individual posts, or the topics.

RNC pays some Palin legal bills in exchange for help Ex-governor aids fundraising
By Ralph Z. Hallow
- The Washington Times
Wednesday, September 22, 2010
"RNC Treasurer Randy Pullen, who co-signed the check with RNC Chief Administrative Officer Boyd Rutherford, said Mr. Rutherford told him the check was in exchange for Mrs. Palin’s help with RNC Chairman Michael S. Steele to raise money for midterm election campaigns.
“The initial payment was for Palin to do several different fundraising events and sign fundraising letters for the RNC,” Mr. Pullen said. He said the RNC has committed to sending the Anchorage law firm a second check of an equal amount, which would bring the total to $257,037.70."

**Rolls eyes**
Did Gov Christie “make a fool” of all those powerful forces in the GOP who wanted him to run, after he failed to run too? What of all the numerous potential candidates for various offices in the past decades who considered running for office but then on further consideration decided not to?
When are you going to get it into your head that whether anyone runs for office or not is entirely up to them and their family. Supporters/pundits etc can only wish/hope that those they support run. If they decide not to run, that is fine. No one is “making a fool” of anybody.
You need to get over your obsession with Sarah Palin and your inability to resist depositing excreta on every Sarah Palin thread.
You're delusional.
I posted on the thread and saw you were posting on it as if you're some kind of conservative.
You're nothing but an Axelrod conservative who helped give us four more years of this Marxist regime, you helped reelect this nightmare for four more years.
Palin coined the ABO phrase, and she told people to vote for Mitt, so it's part of this thread whether you like it or not. That you claim to like Palin, pretend to be conservative, and then told everyone we had to be pure and not vote for Mitt is frankly a crime.
Go pound sand you big phony, you don't belong on a conservative forum. Go back to DU and KOS where you belong.........
An important message across the centuries from Ben Franklin.
Palin endorsed 64 candidates in 2010.
Palin came out of the chute fighting the left after the 2008 election, her first big endorsement success came in December of 08.
They'll beat the "she's stupid" drum long and loud, so it had better be CRYSTAL CLEAR that she knows what she's talking about, no matter what they throw at her.
There is simply no substitute for serious, lengthy preparation.
Like Obama and Biden have repeatedly displayed. /s
