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.
As for her trustworthiness over ABCnews or other elected Republican officials - I'll go for her.
Folks, I hope none of you missed the fact this is being presented by ABC. There is a full court press going on right now to destroy Sarah Palin, both inside and outside of the media, and some of our ‘own team’ is more than happy to play along.
Sarah will reveal herself over time. There’s no need to form a frozen opinion on her today. And when we do, I would hope we wouldn’t for that opinion based on the MSM’s propaganda.
For some reason I don't believe the event organizer.........
If she wasn't in Washington I would say she wanted to stay home with her family and watch the super bowl........
Hell, my brother-in-law called me last night and invited me over to their house for the game today after I had my two martini's and of course I said "sure, I'll be there".
Only thing is, I don't really care for the guy and question his motivation behind the invitation. Last time I accepted an invitation from him to go out and do some clay shooting then back to their house for a late afternoon lunch and beers, while chilling out on the couch watching a ball geme, he blind sided me by asking me if I would help him take down their pool..........Jerk!
First, ABC as a news source for the entire story is laughable. I await further information.
Second, Republican politicians should be attending workshops, not retreats, and I don’t mean semantically.
Let’s not let the media try to create a sophomoric atmosphere among the Repubicans. She didn’t wanna go, she had other stuff to do.
WHO CARES?
You can damn well bet the media would love to see this distract us all from the important objective of halting Hussein’s liberalism.
These losers will still take money from Sarah-PAC next year though,won’t they?
I wonder if the misspelling of Sarah’s name by this dork was intentional. Then again, if he’s an Obamacorn Leg Tingler (OLT), he may have never heard of Governor Palin until he was given this assignment to write this garbage.
I thought they had a volcano to worry about in AK?
What Stars?? I see Global Warming Newt the Quitter and our new Affirmative Action supporter guy!! The Real Star Conservative was NOT there.
abc news?
Until this is confirmed by a reputable news source, it’s questionable rumor and nothing else.
Gee a VOLCANO is about to blow in Alaska, might be critical need for the Governor of ALASKA to be there soon.
The Republican retreat was not in Washington, DC. It was at the Greenbriar in WV, about 4.5 hours drive from DC.
If I were a potential GOP presidential candidate, I think I would avoid the RNC meeting with a battle for its leadership the main event.
This is an ABC story about making something out of nothing, and Boehner’s reply reflected that.
Can ABC name him or her? Lame.
Not only is this hit piece from ABC, it’s from one of their blogs. Puh-leese! Can you say hearsay? Rumor? Bong laden wanna be reporters?
Yes, we can!
Media hitpiece
they fear the eff out of her in 2012
my checkbook or my will’s instructiuons are at the ready gurl
Look at the source and you be the judge as to what really happened.
“She’s in Washington, D.C., attending the super-elite Alfalfa Dinner.”
What’s that, some kind of alphabet soup organization or a gathering of cow food farmers?
Yeah, let’s believe ABC News. They want Palin and the Republicans to succeed. God, the people on this site who listen to the networks and believe them is astonishing.
“ABC News”? LOL!
