SarahPAC: Setting The Record Straight – Wrong & Misleading

Posted on August 22 2011 - 11:33 PM - Posted by:

SarahPAC released the following statement:

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 Americans 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.

Here is an excerpt from the CNN article by Peter Hamby referenced above:

Here she is, in her own words:

Q: When is a good time? Do you have a timeline?

Palin: I have said that that August/September timeframe is important for logistical and legal reasons to jump in there, but…

Q: So by next month?

Palin: I think that just practically speaking that has to be kind of a drop dead time. Also, in fairness to supporters, who are standing on the timeline, and this is what I have told Todd over and over again, I don’t want to be seen as or perceived as stringing people along, asking supporters, ‘Oh don’t just jump in there on someone else’s bandwagon because I may jump in, so hold off a little bit.’ That is not fair to them. After another month or two goes by, they need to know who it is that they can jump behind. Now more than ever, everybody has got to get involved in this 2012 election. They need to get out there and campaign for their chosen candidates, its all the more reason to hurry up and decide.

A few moments later, there was this exchange:

Q: Will you know by the next time you are here in Iowa whether you will be in, over Labor Day?

Palin: I doubt it. By the next time I am here by September 3? I don’t know if within the next couple of weeks I will be ready for an announcement or not.

Q: So the end of September is no longer a viable deadline?

Palin: No, he was asking about my next visit here on September 3, if I would be ready for an announcement September 3. And I said I don’t know if I would be ready by September 3.

Q: So the end of September would still be your timetable?

Palin: That is still a possibility for a timetable. Yes, definitely.

I could not get that Link to work, but some of the info I got was not new, Texas Freepers have been linking stuff about him for 10 years that I know, and they really did not like him, and I do not blame them.

I know that People have a tendency to want the favorite son to win, but not in my case, People that have so many booboos should stay where they can do the least harm. Jeb Bush was a great Governor and a helluva hard working intellectual, but right now I would not vote for him for Dog Catcher. He has changed a lot,and is an open borders advocate now just because his Kids are part Mexican. Columba is not the problem Jeb is.

I have not commented on any of these threads. If she isn’t in by September third, I’m going elsewhere. Enough of the game playing.

If Rick Perry is so darned hard on Obama, where the hell was he the past three yrs while Sarah Palin was on the offensive?

He's the Governor of Texas. So he was minding his own business in Texas.

That statement is either overly broad or just plain crap. I’ve posted information on Perry threads to raise the level of discourse and never, not one single time, trashed Sarah Palin.

I support both Perry and Palin. Since Perry has declared, I think it’s important to have a discussion about him. That discussion should include all available information not just one-sided articles worshiping him or hit pieces trashing him.

Until Sarah declares, I will refrain from posting information about her on Palin threads. She’s not a candidate and therefore we don’t need the same level of discourse about her. If and when she declares, her record, statements, and actions are fair game and should be examined.

My statement is neither overly broad or crap, it is fact. I gave one example of what I have seen many times. And you are free to support RINO Rick all you please. I won't and there is ample reason why.

It's funny how you Perry apologists think posting RINO Rick's record is trashing him. If it's his record, shouldn't it be something you are proud of? lol!

Mitt Perry is a RINO.

I extend an invitation to all Sarah Palin fans living in perpetual anticipation - in constant angst - to get behind Rick Perry.

Rick Perry can go to hell, and he can take the GOP-E with him.

From the election on, the Gore/Perry partnership began to crumble and the way that their paths diverged in the past three decades speaks eloquently to the way American politics has been reshaped. Gore has sailed left, while Perry’s political odyssey has seen him tack in the other direction — and to the opposing party.

Gore didn't "sail left". Gore was already left when Perry was his campaign guy.

It’s not a fund raiser for her, but you know that. Beck usually donates his proceeds after expenses to Wounded Warriors, ( possibly another organization) but you likely know that, too.

That’s your choice of course. Thanks very much for supporting Governor Palin and perhaps you’ll come back to her, if announces later than the third of September.

I’m not a Perry apologist. I haven’t discouraged anyone from posting Perry’s record. I am absolutely fine with discussing his record and do not consider it trashing him. I’ve done nothing more than encourage FReepers to examine ALL of the facts.

That you call me a Perry apologist demonstrates that your conclusions on this subject are both overly broad and crap.

Opinions vary.

And you did say I was trashing him, did you not? Actually you said, "That discussion should include all available information not just one-sided articles worshiping him or hit pieces trashing him."

Only a Perry apologist would think posting his record is trashing him so my conclusions about you were spot on.
