The desperate rationalization going on is sad. The anointed one has said NO- but it’s BETTER than saying yes? Sure! She is MORE powerful now?
Watching all of this on FR these past few months it has struck me as almost word-for-word the same as the Obamanation people calling him ‘the savior’ and raising him to deity status.
It’s odious, no matter who is worshipped this way.
Saviors aren’t MADE, they arrive.
She won’t pick up the banner, folks- she IS NOT ‘The One’!
I don't think any are in doubt of that, nor do I think any thought that before CBS....sometimes individuals are mistaking zeal and passion, 'for true hope' that Palin could turn the tide and they knew she had what it takes to do that.
It hasn't been as much love for the woman as for all she 'represents' dear to the hearts of the people who have supported her......the Constitution,... Love for our Nation and all the goodness known about it,..... the Patriotic Spirit,... and the fearless courage to stand for principles of our founders in the face of fear and opposition...someone who would fight for those very ideas of... freedom and liberty.. as we have known...and who passed thru the crucible to make these things known that were fast slipping away..etc.
Palin awoke that Spirit in so many who feel our nation is being stolen, robbed, and degraded to the umpteenth degree...and then being trampled under foot.
Palin brings "hope" to what appears to many as Hopeless....so of course the disappointment is not only very sad...but felt to the heart that she isn't running...and worse that the media has indeed seemingly taken her out. So there's some anger with this as well.
Those candidates who are left now to run have none of these character traits as deeply engraied as Palin...they're simply aother round of politicians and or seeking their place in History. The same old stuff we've seen before...
So trying to get Palin supporters "excited" about these remaining candidates will be fruitless for a time. There after all is only 'one' Sarah Palin...who has stood the politicians and Washington and this administration on edge for a very long time....and we can only "hope" she will remain significant and keep the "fire" burning in us all as we come down to the wire of this Primary and next election.
I guess I'm just trying to explain so that those who might not have such a deep love of country, of the patriotic Spirit...of the substance within Americans which make us who we are ...might understand it wasn't just about running...it was about rising the nation to what it once was...and right now it doesn't look like that's possible with the candidates we have to choose from. We all had hope we would not have to hold our noses ..yet again!
Well said. I’m sure you know you’ll be catching a big ration of sh*t for saying it though.
