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...

Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo...

Those are very clever lyrics by Lew DeWitt of the Statler Brothers with nice, tight harmony. I like this video since the lyrics appear with the vocals. Goodnight to all...because my eyes are not accustomed to this light! :-)

“Keyes/Palin”

Eyes likes your thinkin’, tso.

I would support that ticket 1000%, and I would see to it that my friends and associates saw the light as well.

Back in the day I was a strong ‘Keyster’, and more recently a strong Palinista, and I haven’t changed my mind about either one.

I do think if that were to happen it would be best in a party other than the GOP. The party bosses would just weigh them down.

...the Republican party isn't really Conservative at all. Sarah Palin, Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater are, in fact, the outliers.

Bingo! Can't be repeated often enough, in my view.

Brenda Lee? Oh, I see. I got mixed up and thought she was referencing my post at reply #35 above re: Connie Francis, “Who’s Sorry Now?”.

What a joke.
Palin is not only a day late and a billion dollars short, but futile besides.
It is just funny to see her too-late attempt that will come to nothing.
It is over.
They are going to ruin us...
We can’t even slow down the rate of collapse anymore.

Seriously. Go lay down and die somewhere. Surrender is not an option for most of us.

...and believe me, there will be a house that needs to be cleaned.

That House will need more than cleaning if we ever get BO out of it - it'll need fumigating and exorcisms.

Elections have consequences. Obama won, he gets to appoint pretty much whomever he wants who’s qualified. His first choice, Susan Rice, got knocked out. His 2nd choice was not going to get knocked out.

If you don’t like Kerry as SoS you better pray on your hands and knees ery single day for four years for the good health of Roberts/Alito/Scalia/Thomas and Kennedy. You may not like some of them, either, but the worst of them beats whomever his replacement would be.

All of this comes back to the highly principled conservatives who refused to vote for Romney.

Is that an inference Jim :)

I saw Patsy once in Enid Oklahoma, she had a leg in a cast. That is one of my all time favorites. Of course I like this gal too.

That old Edie Fischer tune. Yep good one.

I miss the old Hit Parade, even Saturday night wrestling when they actually wrestled a little.

In fact I miss The Great Gildersleave, Lum and Abner, Fiber McGee and Mollie, Alan's Ally, Amos and Andy........

You got it.

Marco Rubio voted NO on the “imperfect deal” tax increase earlier this month to cover himself for 2016.

There will be a lot of tricks coming out of Washington from RINO’s afraid of being primaried in 2014.

OVER 90 PERCENT OF THE REPUBLICANS WE HAVE ELECTED ARE PHONY BALONEYS AND THERE IS A NEED FOR A DEEP HOUSECLEANING AND A THIRD PARTY TO RUN IF THEY AREN’T CLEANED OUT IN THE GOP PRIMARIES.

Palin did support Amnesty Liberals...

_______________________________________

She espoused a path to citizenship for illegals in her imterview with Univision in 2008. She started her speech in Wisconsin (at the height of the union fight) by stating all her own union connections and her support for them. But we can't talk about that here.
