Enforce the rules against personal attacks against me then and we have a deal.
With that sense of entitlement, jokyfo MUST be a liberal.
" ... then we have a deal ..." ... Puh! What a wanker. Like he has any place in calling the shots on Free Republic.
Hey, jokyfo. This is Jim Robinson's football -- you don't make deals; you play in his game or you leave. What a knob!
I think it would be interesting to do the same with all the FReepers who reject Palin to see what their stands have been on Mitt Romney. I bet that the majority of Palin doubters -- by the way, isn't Duane Patterson the guy affiliated with Hugh Hewitt, who lost so much of his talk show audience during the primaries when he became an embarassing shill for Romney? -- are Romney supporters, the Romney whose every "conservative" solution calls for more, bigger, heavier-handed government.
Nope, not if you're a Romney supporter or an elitist Country Club Republican moderate who falsely wears the tag "conservative."

I thought that quote was from Chesty Puller USMC too.
I’m afraid the way zero is running the country and everything he touches into the ground. She will feel compelled to run for the top of the ticket. It reminds me of 1968 when Nixon came out of nowhere after losing the 1960 presidential race and the 1962 Calf. Governors race. After that loss he said “You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference.” He campaigned for Republican candidates in the 1966 Congressional elections and took an extended trip to South America and parts of the Middle East in 1967. This is the same thing Sarah should do. Campaign for the conservative base in the 2010 congressional elections and go places and meet all kinds of foreign leaders to prepare for 2012. Run Sarah Run!
I live in Idaho and there's no way you could possibly be serious about this.
"No. Productive, fulfilled people determine where to put their efforts, choosing to wisely utilize precious time... to BUILD UP."
Speaking of which, she did just make her first trip to Europe; I wondered at the time if that might be a start, particularly since one of the things the press criticized was that she hadn't been to Europe. Of course, neither had Bambi until he went as US president, but that's different...
Maybe, as you suggest, she's taking the long view and will prepare herself for the big run in the future. I don't think so, though; for one thing, I don't think we're going to continue with our current system and I suspect that even by 2012, Obama will have done something to install himself in permanent power. Elections will either be non-existent or purely for show.
I think Sarah Palin is somebody who likes politics and will probably return to it in some way, but I don't think she's quitting now with the intention of building up for a presidential run. She has been subjected to truly vicious attacks, from Republicans such as the Romney crowd as well as from the Dems and the press, and I think she simply wants to take the heat off her family and also off the state of Alaska. I have noticed that there have been attacks on Alaska coming from Congress, and it's quite possible that she knows these will get worse and is taking advantage of this lull - summer, congressional recess, etc. - to step out of the picture and let Alaska just go back to being that big unknown place up North.
Folks, we’ve found one of either Romney’s or ostammer’s sleeper cell bots (there’s no difference - they’re both scared to death of Palin).
Looking to the sky and praying for His return.

In normal times, I would tend to agree with you that someone would need some more time on the bench before they got to play. However, when we have a president who didn’t finish his single term in the senate and was a lackluster state senator, I would point out that these are not normal times.
Experience or not, she’s still a giant-killer and espouses the clearest leadership. She can draw votes and money, more than Romney ever could. I’m from MA. Romney got elected to one term and then started to run for president. Because he finished his term doesn’t make him more virtuous.
Remember that Lincoln served only one term in the congress, failed to get the vp nomination and failed to get elected to the senate.
The rules have been broken and she’s not afraid to make more of them. She will not suck up to the elites and do what they say.
We can draft her like we did Goldwater. I’m not soft-soaping her because I like her. I think something different and something big happened yesterday. Time will tell.
All the Pundits look at her with the same Political Rot that has eaten this Country alive. I believe that Sarah actually Believes what she says and to all the so called Betters among us or more commonly known as pundits and BLOGGERS, they give Knee Jerk Reactions from that Cynical mindset.
Sarah Palin is not the Public Relations Polished candidate or person ,She is Authentic ,Just a Christian Person trying to Live a Proper Life with all its obstacles and she is No different than all of us and People recognized it in an INSTANT.I am Not going to be one of these forensic speech investigators, I take her at her word and Pray that she will not leave the National stage and do Her best to Rally the country around her Traditional values that we all Long to Have restored.
God Bless you Sarah Palin .
Something doesn’t smell right, and she is most definitely toast.

Since we are not privy to what is going on behind the scenes, perhaps we should withhold judgement for now?
I’ve got my fingers crossed she comes to Ohio to help us take back the state next year!
Are you always so quick to judge on what you see on the surface? If so, I think you’re on the wrong side.
Morrisey is the same person that thought ZEROs Cairo speech was very good. That said it all!

Really? I didn’t know that. That seemed to be the alarm clock ringing for many Americans.
Hollywood made a pretty good film titled "Retreat Hell" Frank Lovejoy played a character based on Puller, and a few years later played a character based on Curtis LeMay in Strategic Air Command. Now I've given you enough useless info for you to shoot your computer screen. Sorry bout that. Happy 4th!!!!
