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...

Melas’ opus was interesting. The charge is that FR is VERY racist. And on the wrong side of history as regards deviancy.

If your only defense is to call a five year veteran Freeper a newb, then I guess the shoe fits. Pissant.



Lol!!
That is the FIRST person I thought of when reading 'his' posts...

I guess I never had a need to know the word, or meaning of it, until now :\

I can think, off of the top of my head, several members here that fit that description now (some banned specifically for it (most know who I am talking about), and a few that are still here :p)...

You never knew about Misogynist's because you aren't one! ^.^

But for the ones that are (and most of them are Republicans) they just need to take some advice from Sarah.

do you have link to where i could find them? ^.^


99.9% of what I post (graphics) are miced/matched/made from here.. If I didn't made a bookmark (I expected it to be a 1 time post), I don't have a dircet link :\

The only suggestion I have, is to search my posts for the graphics.. or maybe someone else has a direct link :p

I may put my name on some/most of them, but I have no problem with anyone and everyone using them whenever and wherever they want... That is the only problem, in my mind, about putting my name on it. The only reason I put my name on the pics, is so that people would know that they were original... other than that, have fun with them :D


about a year ago, I switched to Linux, permantly.. during the process, I had 2 HDs crash.. one of them was the the one that was my main for pics (and music D:)... was able to recover many pics.. some are corrupted.. some are partial.. but the links I had given originally should be fine (if they didn't delete the pics from their site.. which has happened.. especially from Photobucket)..

Anyway.. please feel free to use any of my pics (no charge and totally free ;))... and I am sure most of the other pic makers here feel the same way :)

"OOOOOk newb that’s nice."

In all my years here, I have noticed once one uses the "okay "noob", NOT newb btw, they have lost their argument.

There were very many "old timers" whom were purged because they came out of the closet during the 2008 election.

Posting history is VERY important, no matter how long a FReeper, or pretend one has been here.

I just saw something about Melas posting an opus. Is that the thread?


Yup, that's the one...
I don't think I have to go into detail about it.. you will see it yourself... BUT.. 1 thing that really urked me.. a poster said somthing similar to, 'no Conservatinve minority would want to be on this site'..

What a load of crap :\

I have developed a theory.

That the older the FReepers the more Liberal or worse "Republican" they happen to be.

Now this is not for all FReepers, Onyx is from Class of '99.

But as a General rule the PDS increases with the further back you go to the beginning of FR.

I guess Republicans were more inclusive or Conservatives/Libertarians back in the 90's and wanted to mingle with us on OUR website. :P

The Sad part is that even on the Phone I am mistaken for a girl, by people I KNOW!

I guess because I have a higher pitched voice. :p

"But as a General rule the PDS increases with the further back you go to the beginning of FR."

I've noticed that as well. I almost always hover over the name to see the FReepers "DOB"....then look at their posting history.

Perhaps they are bitter because Bush wound up not exactly what they expected him to be, so they take it out on a true Conservative.....in which they can no longer recognize.
