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...

I shall put you on Her List!
OOOOOk newb that’s nice.
If your only defense is to call a five year veteran Freeper a newb, then I guess the shoe fits. Pissant.
It’s unbelievable that we have to read about this iconic American in a foreign newspaper.
It seems every time I hear Sarah speak, she is ALWAYS laying praise at Johns feet, saying what a great Senator he is and how much of a patriot he is, yadda yadda. It wasn’t just after the 2010 elections....it’s every time she gets a chance.
I say, she already paid him back and besides that, it bothers me, that she doesn’t see the RINO that he is yet. She’s willing to see Romney and others who are, as she calls them, “Moderates”, but McCain is like a God to her, the way she talks about him. It’s really a turn off and I think it may be a big reason, many still don’t trust her.
I’m willing to look past her adoration of McCain, because I know the woman SHE is. But it is getting as old as McCain himself.
ShhhhHHhh!!
Don’t let them have any ideas ;) (about age)
I’m not a PDS’er, but I am prone now to be a little cautious with Sarah, and I encourage others to do the same, and not elevate her to positions of blind trust that she hasn’t earned.
I, and a lot of others of like mind, planned to support her in the last primary. As a result, we didn’t push similar candidates to jump in, since Sarah was our choice, and we didn’t want to split our vote. She kept us hanging, well past the point we thought she could credibly pull out, and then she pulled out, leaving us with a lot of establishment politicians, but no real, honest, Tea Party, Socially Conservative candidate who could win.
Maybe she had a good reason for that. But had she just said early on that she wasn’t running, I suspect someone else might have jumped in to offer her supporters the kind of option they wanted, touting the issue positions she would have touted, and asking for support, based on their honesty and integrity compared to the rest of the line up. Maybe we’d be looking a President West right now.
I really felt screwed, to put it bluntly, by somebody who appeared to have played the system, without express concern for the movement, or her supporters. I don’t demand much, just be honest with me. If you see me supporting you, and closing other doors, when you don’t intend to let my support count, then let me know. With today’s social media and virality, who knows if somebody would have started a “draft candidate X” page, and it would have taken off and gotten us a real alternative to Mitt, who might actually have beaten Obama.
Funny thing is, even all that wasn’t as irritating as reading all the castigations of her here, and really feeling there was no way to counter them. Everybody who had told us she was just playing us, came out to dance on the grave of her candidacy, and tell us what asses we were to have ever trusted her. And there wasn’t a whole lot to say in return. She had played us. She never inteded to run, it was an attention whoring at our expense and worse, at the movement’s expense, and we were wrong all along, and those pissants were right. It was very vexing, and put me off getting behind her ever again.
Before Sarah, I would have said, as a general rule, don’t trust in anyone you see on TV to be as good as you think they are. Then I thought Sarah looked like she might be the exception, and now I am back to saying, if they are on TV, they have probably sold their soul to the machine to some degree, and any wise person will be cautious with them.
I don’t blame her, she needs to be loyal to her family first, and make them money. But I will caution anyone else to be at least a little wary when she is appealing for anything tangible, like money or political support. Personally, the only one I’d begin to trust now as an effective leader is Allen West.
Unlike Sarah, West hasn’t left me unable to defend him on FR - yet.
My 2c.
What I fins interesting, is that we can relate to things of the time to ‘what grade’ we were in ;)
Actually, that is HOW I narrow down the time lines of situations.. Still would have to go to a library to search through tons of newspapers to find what I was looking for :p
I don’t care what the (non)Conservatives here on FR say about her (onyx), she is a sweetheart, and has the knowledge and intelligence to back it up ;)
Those of us that know her see a troll in an instant when the first FReeper they complain about is onyx (or Dj Macwow)..
Either/both of their husbands are lucky to find them first ;)
I stopped being 5’2” and 82 lbs!
but she REALLY needs to get over the John McCain is great crap
I do care however when they try to Slander good FReepers, especially with Sexist comments.

I defy you to post links that back up that assertion. I'll bet you can't. Palin hasn't done any such thing.
Go on. Post the links and prove you're not slandering this good patriot.
Happy to see you here, my friend (and FRiend) :)
Was hoping you would jump onto the Opus thread too, but I totally understand if you read all of the comments and just wanted to let the ‘concern’ trolls just fade out :p
Here’s to us.. (beer bottle clink).. hoping for the best.. and we shall see what Mrs. Palin will do in the next 2 years :)
I trust that she will do whatever is right for the situation.
That makes me so glad Bikkuri =^.^=
Onyx is a Gem and has made me Feel SO welcome on F.R. I can't even tell you!
Your Graphics are also so great!
GO BIKKURI!
do you have link to where i could find them? ^.^
I just saw something about Melas posting an opus. Is that the thread?
Here’s to us.. (beer bottle clink).. hoping for the best.. and we shall see what Mrs. Palin will do in the next 2 years :)
Hear, hear. *clink!*
He/she won't.
But they will continue to make the assertion.....
After all, it's the seriousness of the charge that counts.
BUMP to your post challenging the (im)poster to put up or shut up.
I ignore it. I’m proud to be a Conservative and no one will silence me. :-)
Hello my FRiend! How are you?
