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...

My nephew is homo (he is also my most favorite boy in the whole world). He came out before his 15th birthday. When he told me....he knew about my sisters and my own beliefs about homosexuality.

When we talked about it, I told him he can be as gay as he wanted....as long as he remained a virgin (still is)and didn’t act upon his impulses.

Our conversation was with much love and laughter. I did tell him if he EVER brought home an older man as his “bf” I would have to take the old perv out. We laughed about it, but he knew I was serious.

I would take out the perv, no matter the consequences to myself.

I couldn't believe the distortions and lies. We posted links disproving them and they'd come back with worse lies.

It was not a time that I'd like to repeat. The MSM did their job well and fools bought it.

No, its because Sarah is a solid Christian, nothing else.

I think that if some young males like girly things or are gangly/awkward they are a square peg pounded into a round hole. They HAVE to be homosexuals, right? So they are shoved in that direction when it may NOT be the case.

I have no idea what Sarah Palin will decide to do, but those on FR who lambaste her with their usual nonsense need to be called on it. We're in a fine pickle right now, why does anyone need to line up with liberals against her on FR?

Breitbart said it best, she was the kind of person that could rally America; if she went to a town of 10,000 people, 110,000 would show up. Those who chide her for that ability with the regurgitated nonsense of the MSM are eunuchs.

Dead center, Tennessee Jed.

Ever wonder how Sky King was popular on radio when we couldn’t see a thing? Well we didn’t have pictures, so we had to put them in our head with imagination, a lost art I fear.

Superman on Radio as well

Gunsmoke. If I remember correctly that was William Conrad that did Matt Dillon’s voice.

Then there was the soapy Just Plain Bill.

Perhaps LA doesn’t know what she or he is. You know how they love to throw their own perceptions onto others.

That was borrowed from Breitbart three weeks before he died. I had the great fortune to have met him at a conference, it was early in the GOP primary race, when it looked like Newt might ascend to the nomination. He had nothing but praise for her, and that in the shadow of her earlier decision not to run.

Sharky is right. The PDS wars really started after the ‘08 election when she was free from McCain. I know this because I was a co-holder of her mega-normous Ping List.

I’d no sooner Ping her list and PDS’ers would flock to the thread armed with trivial and all too often, VICIOUS lies and smears spewed by the lamestream, all of which had been refuted several times over ad nauseum.

To make matters worse, those lies and smears would be completely unrelated to the thread’s topic. It was senseless and demeaning to a true homegrown American patriot.

Was she perfect? No, but she was better than anyone else.

Is she perfect today? No, but she’s still better than anyone else.

IMHO, the lamestream tore her down right from the beginning because it’s not the agenda of the Left for the first woman president to be a Republican. Sarah Palin had the Reagan qualities, and the democrats and their fawning media saw that straight away, just like we saw it!

Remember he was also called “stupid”?

The democrat/media complex put out the hit on her.

There were way too many "conservatives" here that allowed themselves to be swayed by the hit.

The media (democrat/media complex) is the biggest problem, if we can't figure out how to deal with them, we'll lose every time.

Good rant btw!

Yup.. don’t even remember if I was on your Palin ping at the time... but saw it (not daily, but practically by-the-minute).. pi$$ed me off then... but now it only makes me wat to work that much harder... If she says she will not run, but help us get more Conservs in Congress... I am there (well, will help any way I can from Japan)..

If she says she will help up rid states of GOPe Governors... I will assist any way I can... and so on...
