Team Palin says Rove may be a bit off
Politico ^ | 8-22-11 | Maggie Haberman

Posted on 08/22/2011 9:16:28 PM PDT by STARWISE

Add Karl Rove to the list of people Sarah Palin's camp is denouncing.

POLITICO's Juana Summers flags this statement from the Sarah PAC website, which - without naming him - takes an unmistakable swipe at the former White House adviser to George W. Bush:

Three years ago DC pundits predicted with glee the demise of Sarah Palin's political career. This past weekend their tune changed, citing false information that she has made a decision and set a date regarding a future campaign.

Any professional pundit claiming to have "inside information" regarding Governor Palin's personal decision is not only wrong but their comments are specifically intended to mislead the American public. These are the same tired establishment political games that fuel the 24 hour news cycle and that all American's will hopefully reject in 2012, and this is more of the "politics-as-usual" that Sarah Palin has fought against throughout her career.

PS - Kudos to CNN for setting the record straight, and including Governor Palin's own words.

Rove had said on Fox News last weekend that he believed Palin was running, based in part on her schedule in Iowa (as best as I can tell she only has the one, large-scale event in Des Moines scheduled, for Sept. 3).

Peter Hamby of CNN noted earlier that there is not exactly a river of trust between Palin and Rove, but the public pushback was a bit of a surprise.

Sarah is outside the box, inside the loop and under the radar.
Very good, Mr. Sol.

That's a good little nutshell.

That's odd. Some dork on that flaky loon Olberman's show this evening says Palin and Rove are best buds. Is there anything the press these days actually knows, rather than just bee-esses about to fill time?

You have to develop patience, timing and a hunters sense when you are after game or fish. You cannot make a fish or elk come to you. you have to stalk them, and listen to the signs that tell you where they are.

She has done this before. She has a hunter's eye and patience.

I've just got to say it..... Thank you, Chuck Heath.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You brought a natural born leader into this world, and patiently taught her to hone her innate skills to absolute perfection.

Your steady wisdom and sure guidance helped your daughter to grow into one of the most formidable enemies of tyranny this nation has ever seen. I want to thank you for showing her how to not only tough it out in a harsh environment, but how to take every threat that environment had to offer, and to turn them to her advantage.

You may have considered that you were only raising your girl with your own brand of common sense wisdom, and some frontier smarts, but you did so much more than that. So much more.

I, and millions of other grateful Americans thank you for that.

Hyncro, do you have any clue why she might have been in Kansas last week? Brownbeck?

Definitely they do! They are absolutely certain that when Palin gets in that their days of uncontested BS are over, they will get called on their crap regularly/publicly and they know with bitter certainty that their VooDoo is in some quicksand-level doodoo ;)

Aside from that, they are brain dead.

That’s beautiful tribute, Windflier. Her parents must be so very proud of her.

I can only imagine. They must sit and wonder sometimes, how they got it so right. I'm sure the parents of all stellar achievers must feel the same way.

On the thread talking about anouncing at the Tea party thing in Iowa I wrote the following. Although from her home would be better. Tie it into her resignation speech where she talked about being able to do more for Alaska and our country if she were not Governor, etc.

Anyway - here’s my fantasy if she does it at the Tea Party - and still keeps her promise to the radio guys!:

They they could have a live remote feed, or Palin calls in.

“Hey guy’s - glad you could take my call. Ya’ know, I’ve always been thankful for your support in Alaska. And I know that you’ll be there to support me in the future.

Ya’ know - I’m down here in the great state of Iowa at the Tea Party rally. Lots of folks here in Iowa are just as fed up with the government too - just like we are in Alaska. They asked me to speak about what we can do to change the way things are going on in Washington.

And we ALL need to find a role to play - it is going to take all of us. With our different skills and passions - whatever those might be.

And I’m about to go on stage and talk about that - how we all have to find a place and way to get America to that great example of individual accountability and prosperity. I’m also going to talk about how I see my role in all of this. And that is as the next President of these great United States of America.

I wanted you guys to be the first to know. I’ll give ya’ a call tomorrow when I have a bit more time to chat - I have a speech to give now.”

Could be, they have been pretty close for years.

But for what reason, I couldn't speculate.

Well, actually I could but I won't lol.

And no problem, I sometimes sign my name “Hyncro”...

she's keeping everyone in the dark, including the poor Freepers who work very hard every day to build up for her supposed campaign.

Submitting messages at an Internet site, (24/7 for some), is hard work?

The Palin fantasy just isn’t selling any better then that silly unwatched movie did.

Perhaps this is related to this new story. She is Obama’s dream opponent. Even as measured by using Likely Voters, the ones most sympathetic to a republican candidate, Obama buries her without a trace.

NewsMax.com - 13 hours ago

If Election Day took place right now, President Obama would defeat the former Alaska governor 50 percent to 33 percent.

Rasmussen took the match-up surveys of 1000 Likely Voters Aug. 11 and 12. Last month, Obama posted a 47 percent to 38 percent lead over Palin.

Palin earns support from 62 percent of Republicans, while 88 percent of Democrats back the president. Voters not affiliated with either party prefer Obama by a 51-30 percent margin.

Obama holds a narrow 44 percent to 38 percent lead over Palin among male voters, but women prefer the incumbent by a sizable 56 percent to 29 percent margin.

>>>> doesn’t Karl Rove romp around in the Bohemian Grove with Kissinger worshipping at the altar of Ba’al and drinking from their cups while cavorting and performing homosexual acts?

Seriously, you need to seek professional help.

Team Palin says Rove may be a bit off… may be?, LOL

The ‘shaved gerbil’ is no friend to conservatives. The rat betrayed the party winner, Christine O’Donnell, in Delaware.

As far as I’m concerned, he’s the enemy.

“Rove has been a bit “off” since the 2010 election. Not sure that he can or will regain our respect.”

Rove is pushing a Mutt Romney ticket and everything he says or does is to further that goal.

So why would he say Palin is getting in? Simple, he sees Rick Perry gaining support daily at a rate that is impossible for Romney to slow down. By saying Palin is going to run, he hopes that big money supporters will hold off on getting behind Perry, and wait to see what Palin will do.

I doubt she is going to run, just like Ryan who was thinking about it but backed off. Had Perry not got in they both would have. Now that there is a strong anti-Romeny running ( Perry ), both will hold off running this time.
