Nope. Just tired of the Palin hype which began on November 5th, 2008 after she and Juan lost to ths Obama clown.
I had this same discussion with you quite some time ago, and nothing has changed. You were badmouthing her from the day of the election and continue to do so to this day, all the while remaining conspicuously absent in naming people you somehow think can motivate the base more than she. The answer is simple, there isn’t any. The “she quit” crap is misstating the facts and you know it. The intelligent people of Alaska not part of the Democrat party or corrupt RINO good-ole-boy network of the Murkowski/Young wing know the facts. We know what their agenda was, and she was not going to be a victim of it.
As for her “loss” in ‘08 with the execrable McCain, that, in hindsight, may have been the best thing to happen to her. As Vice-President, she would not have been able to spearhead a political movement as she is doing today, and had the kind of free hand in order to do so (nor could she have done it from the confines of Juneau). She had a loss way back in 2002 which turned out to be a major win for her in the long run (I’d known about her almost a decade back when she was Mayor of Wasilla, and that she was headed towards a position of great influence). She ran for the GOP nomination for Lt Governor in 2002, which she ended up losing. Had she won, she’d have been saddled with being the #2 to the incompetent and disastrous Frank Murkowski, and wouldn’t have been able to challenge him in 2006. Because she was “outside” the system, she was able to vanquish Murkowski for Governor 4 years later. Similar to the 2012 election.
There were the same nay-sayers who badmouthed Reagan leading up to the 1980 elections, that he couldn’t beat Gerald Ford, so how could he beat Jimmy Carter ? Well, we saw the answer to that question, and yes, she is very similar to him (Reagan’s son said as much himself). I believe I said to you not long after the ‘08 election that she would grow in stature to lead a movement, and my prediction proved exactly correct. As for the other cretin “Zauber” in this thread who has a blinding hatred for Palin and seemed obsessed with attacking my popular FReeper page, as if somehow that undermines one iota my long established and well-respected track record of incisive political analysis here at this website, perhaps it, too, should go back and see who was proven right and offer apologies for being an ignorant jackass and troll.
