Going Rogue: Palin says she plans to 'shake up the GOP machine' w/ $1.2M raised through her PAC
The London Daily Mail ^ | January 29, 2013 | Leslie Larson

Once again Sarah Palin is showing that she has no plans to play by the rules.

She has parted ways with FOX News after a turbulent relationship with the conservative cable news channel, taken pot shots at pundits in the 'lame stream media' and slammed her own party for selecting Mitt Romney as the 2012 Republican presidential nominee.

Now the former Alaska governor says she'll use the $1.2 million raised through her SarahPAC to 'shake up the GOP machine' and unveiled a vague vision on how she'll get her message out to a larger audience.

News broke on Friday night that she had not renewed her $1 million annual contract with FOX News, after three years as a contributor on Roger Ailes' network.

Palin then spoke out on Saturday, in an interview with Breitbart.com, saying that she was working to 'free up opportunities to share more broadly the message of the beauty of freedom and the imperative of defending our republic and restoring this most exceptional nation.'

Calling the future 'wide open' with opportunities, she shared how she plans 'to pick battles wisely, and all in due season' - hinting that she still has a fight left in her.

Her vision for the future coincided with the financial disclosure from her Political Action Committee, SarahPAC, with records released on Monday showing she ended 2012 with nearly $1.2 million in the bank.

She raised around $20,790 between Nov. 27 and Dec. 31 and spent $67,800 during that time period on expenses including consulting, speech writing and legal fees...

Brenda didn’t have anything going in ‘57.

Her first 45 was in ‘59.

Well, I was in Jr High at the time anyway, I’m sure of that. Sept ‘57 - June ‘60. Passed the required U.S. Constitution test and graduated from the eighth grade in ‘59. Used to be you couldn’t graduate from the eighth grade without passing that test. It was a big deal at the time and we all studied hard and worried about passing. Had no idea back then that it would still be so serious to me 50 years later.

I don't believe that for one second Onyx.

Unless the boys were intimidated by you.

I can honestly say You are one of the most well read persons I have ever met.

Not to toot my own horn but I absorb quite a bit of facts over my time and when I thought I have seen or known something you didn't

Shoot, you read the report when it came out in like the 70's.

You have been a force for good for a long time Onyx my Dear.

Yes, I remember the constitution test, that was in ‘58 for me.

It’s hard to believe how much things have changed since then.

She’s missing a few zeroes and some relevancy.

Well, you’re no wall flower now!

Counting flowers on the wall
That don’t bother me at all
Playing Solitaire till dawn
With a deck of fifty-one
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don’t tell me
I’ve nothing to do
