The House Republicans seemed to do just fine without Palin. Their list of speakers included Republican stars Michael Steele, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty and Newt Gingrich.
Asked about Palin's no-show, House Republican leader John Boehner shrugged.
"Whatever," Boehner said.
What a response.
And the media Palin-smearing continues.
Bad move on her part if she has designs on a bigger role in the GOP. If she had stayed home then fine but blowing off that event is a sign that she’s still got a lot to learn.
The question is, is she attending state business while in WAshington?
I don’t think we’re getting the full story.
Even if true, considering the way she was treated by MANY in the party, can you blame her that much if she’s not really interested in hanging with them just now.
It appears as though the freaks at abc are still suffering from SPDS. Sarah Palin Derangement Syndrome.
I wouldn't want to be that list of Rinopublicans either. She owes them nothing.
2nd favorite MSM sport: Make the republicans fight.
Only star I see is Steele.
That attitude is exactly why the GOP lost the election and so many seats.
And we would believe ABC News without first questioning them? It could be true but it is the Down Stream Media we’re talking about here.
Ah yes, unnamed sources within a liberal media story designed to split Republicans again.
The first comment at this website poo-poohs the 11 million she is supposedly getting for a book. I geuss when republicans make money its a bad thing, huh.
>> What a response.
You’re not kidding.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. No matter what she does, someone is going to be unhappy.
unlike congress-critters, Mrs Palin is a governor in a state that could have an eruption from a volcano any day. obviously, she’s got her priorities straight.
meanwhile... how goes that winter freeze and lack of power some 200 miles west? last i heard, there are quite a number of freezing people without power. oh that’s right... they are mostly white... so i’m guessing they should just shut up and do what’s ‘right’ by freezing to death while the congress-critters fawn all over themselves in luxurious accommodations... all on the taxpayers tab (gee... i’m so glad i could put them in a nice place to schmooze and booze)
Maybe she didn’t care to spend a weekend with pansy a$$ Republicans.
ABC, a premier member of the enemedia.
Since when has “politely declined” meant “stiff”? ABC should know all about what is stiff and what is not.
I think this is more a PR stunt for a poorly attended retreat.
Whining is beneath the GOP.
If they REALLY want her then they should host a dinner for her PAC and cut the BS PR stunt for the media. (probably rinos inside the GOP. perhaps foley’s ex-staffers)
I really trust the DBM to get this story straight!!
