She’s a strong woman, and that’s a threat. She tells the truth, and that’s a threat. She has the cure, and that’s a threat. If she drives you crazy, prepare to be crazier yet.

Where are all the questions and details?

You have the dates and the polling companies, and obviously you know how to use a computer - go look them up! Don't expect me to do all of your research for you.

In Texas, if he’s on the Republican ballot and/or votes in the Republican primary, he can’t run or vote in the Libertarian caucus.

There you go again with your sacred state-run media polls.

This is just another version of the "shoot the messenger" approach. You don't like the result, so all of these companies are being controlled by some vast conspiracy, all working together at the direction of some sinister, shadowy government agency, with the express purpose of destroying Palin's chances.

I think we are headed into Paul-bot, tin-foil hat territory here. While I don't accept every poll at face value, if you keep seeing the same result over a period of 2 years, from at least 6-7 different organizations, then you really should begin to consider the possibility that it might be true - Sarah really does have extremely high negatives among the general population.

You’re the one claiming they’re good polls, not me. You’re job to back up your claim, not mine.

No, this isn't just another version of "shoot the messenger". You're behavior isn't that of a simple messenger, but of an agent.

You pimp these MSM polls on Free Republic constantly, despite the fact that this community has proven time and time again that the very organizations whose information you're asking us to believe, have lied continuously to the American people, and have become nothing but the de facto propaganda wing of the treasonous left.

What sort of fools do you take us for anyway? You want us to believe that, although the MSM is up Obama's butt, that they'll nonetheless tell the honest to God truth about the attitudes of the American people?

The last guy who tried to sell me such a blatant con job is living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

No, unless the polls showed Palin winning by landslide margins, you wouldn't believe them, so it is a waste of time. You can't be bothered to investigate, because you know what you would find would not support this reality you have created for yourself. So go back to your fanatasy world where huge majorities of Americans are really crying for Sarah! to come and save them.

Okay, so I can assume that no Palin supporter will ever post any polls showing her gaining ground or leading in any way, right? Since they are all lies generated by the MSM...

I’m too busy being angry at Reagan for being a democrat, voting for FDR, and being a union boss to have time to be mad about Palin’s and Perry’s flip flops.

Are you two California "Conservatives" related? You appear to be kindred spirits.

I haven’t said any of the stuff you attribute to me. You’re the Palin hater; I’m just saying her popularity or lack thereof is unknown.

I have created no reality for myself, I’m open to the truth; unlike Palin haters.

OK, thanks but can you tell me exactly what she means in the quotes in the original piece? I have no idea specifically what she means or how she is going to achieve what she wants.

Will you please explain to me, exactly what Palin was saying? How is she going to achieve her goal?

You’re the Palin hater;

That's so funny. If someone doesn't believe Sarah can win this time around and provides some reasons for that belief, they are a "Palin hater".

Well, maybe so but anti-trust laws are there to protect the small from the large and it is also unconstitutional to tell a corporation (which is people) what they can and cannot do with their money.

Maybe we're getting somewhere, WHAT is the cure?

I'm the one who has been arguing that she was being completely honest in 2008 when she was acting as a cheerleader for the TARP Bailout.

I'm not the one accusing her of being disingenuous about it. That seems to be the position of her most ardent supporters.

It's hard to admit the error of ignoring the principal of "failure is the final regulator". The TARP bailout led to the UAW bailout (GM/Chrysler). IOW, powerful groups with special access get bailed out even though they made very bad decisions.

***** Are you two California “Conservatives” related? You appear to be kindred spirits. *****

No doubt we are related — or at least linked — in our love of the United States, conservative principles and our embrace of the strict Constitution, not to mention our God-given rights of life, liberty and property.

The rest is a discussion over trifles.

As for you, kindly read my post. But since it’s possible you need for me to type more slowly so you can more readily keep up, here goes:

1. I pointed to the flip flops of both Perry and Palin.

2. And I drew a parallel to Reagan’s political history.

3. The magnificent leader that Reagan became trumps the errors of his ways in earlier years.

Did I type slowly enough for you?

-George

The power that she has now is because she might be president. Her power to work from the outside would be greatly diminished if she doesn't run.

That might help explain her delay in announcing that she's not going to run. I think the best role she can play is being the face of the Tea Party. She has a very nice face.
