Poor Doyle. obammy must be dangling those kneepads, again.

Ha ha. If it’s quiet, nobody knows, duh.

I find all of this quite amusing.

The LSM, the GOP establishment, many on this very forum have their respective panties in a wad wanting to know RIGHT NOW whether a woman from Alaska whom they all proclaim to the rooftops couldn't even win a kewpie doll at a state fair is running for President.

Utterly laughable.

I refer you to post #63...

>>Seeing as you apparently flunked middle school<<

I didn’t read your post any farther then that. Any time someone resorts to that type of third grade tactic it diminishes them to totally irrelevant.

And if she doesn’t do either of the above?

she will run.

DRF - I’ve no more insight than anyone else here on FR but I think she is now waiting to see how Perry does in the first round of debates and is absoultely determined that he gets way more vetting before she jumps in. If she gets in on Saturday the spotlight and attack diogs move instantly to her for good or for bad. Although she clearly extolled his virtues for the Governorship of Texas back in November 2010 I believe 2 things may have killed any propsect of an endorsement. Loyalty and honesty matter hugely to the Palins and it is part of their tribe DNA. Since her generous praise in late 2010 Perry abjectly failed to offer ANY public support in January 2011 when she was being accused as an accessory to mass murder (Giffords) and then he lied about his POTUS intentions. Sure everyone is free to change their minds but character matters. Odds on that Todd and Sarah don’t like what they see of this fellow in 2011.

I hope she gets in and gives all the other candidates the most demanding and rugged primary challenge they have ever experienced in their entire political careers. Will do em good!

You may be a Perry supporter

I'm not 100% there. I do have my qualms about the man (illegal immigration mainly, and that's rather a biggie for me). I don't know, but are people going to sit out on a candidate because he's not 100% (and give Obama back his throne for four more years of punishment and more crying and whining on our side?).. AND I understand people rankling on that comment, because I sure was burned with McCain...oh, so burned.... so, let's just say I'm a shy bride with hesitation.

Sarah said a few months back she would not run the same ole campaign. She also said she would not declare until near the end of September.

So all this stuff calling her names because she is not fitting into the ideas of what she ought to be doing is simply to give her continual negative press.

Stop buying their premise. She is doing exactly what she said she was going to do.

From your post to me and "All" --

So all this stuff calling her names because she is not fitting into the ideas of what she ought to be doing

Can you point to the places in this thread where I, or anyone else, committed this offense of "calling her names?" Because I'm not finding it.

I'll take that as a compliment. When you've been here another decade you'll have learned your mistake.

It is the ‘tone’ of many many of these post on all the threads about her. Almost like the liberal media hypes. insinuations, intimations, innuendo, that she is playing with people, stringing her supporters along etc. etc. All imagined in their own minds. Stirring the waters.

Amazingly Sarah does not fight back or take on the idle speculations made by many that seemingly are putting her down again and again,

She is one smart lady. Honor her.
