Laugh.

See #94 above.

You are irrational, as defined by others, including myself.

You need to go into Palin Detox.

She didn’t run, because she and her family decided that it they didn’t want to go through it. She said that she could also have more of an effect by helping conservatives get elected.

Thanks for the link.

I couldn’t watch the whole video because of her line “This is not just about me”. No shit, it was about all of us conservatives finally having a champion we could trust to do what she said she would do.

I guess I was a fool to believe that she would actually have the courage of her convictions to lead this country back to it’s roots.

From yesterday on, she will always be nothing more than a quitter to me.

I’m through with the whole Palin bunch, they just need to go home and think about what they have done to set back conservatism for their own selfish greed!

Sounds to me like you’re the one who quit. The leader you like doesn’t to not live up to your expectations, and you’re wondering what to do next? Sorry, Randy, but if you can’t figure out that it’s up to YOU to stand up and lead too, then this country is in far bigger trouble than I thought. Even worse if you rely on Palin for your marching orders.

Are you serious? I like Sarah Palin and would have voted for her, but she is under no obligation to run for President if she thinks it isn’t right for her or the country right now. She may run later or whatever. It is her decision, and she is helping conservatives in many ways so I have no complaint with her. She may indeed be able to help shape things better if she has free reign to support/not support people and important issues without being a lightening rod for the libs and liberal media.

Re-read my post.

I’m not quitting anything but listening to a real quitter.

I’ll support Herman Cain any way I can.

As for Palin, NO!

I guess she is the LeBron James of politics. A lot of talent, but not loyal to any of her biggest supporters. makes you question her heart

What legislative victories does Cain have under his belt? Answer, zero. What is Cain's governmental history? Answer, zero.

If one is impressed by someone's business and financial success, then there are tens of thousands of business millionairs and billionairs to pick over Palin, or Cain.

You gotta be kidding. After what the Palins have put up with?

Actually, what the Palins have had to put up with was par for the course for political figures in the nineteenth century.

There! I've finally found something about the nineteenth century that liberals like! :)

You say that as if it's a bad thing. BTW, Cain is running for national office. What national legislative victories does Palin have?

Besides Cain, who else is running?

Don’t you love the bashing you take in voicing your justified disillusionment and disappointment with Palin? Love your tagline.

Yes, but in the nineteenth century the Palin men would have had the option of challenging these cowardly attackers of women and children to a duel!

I agree.

Remember she had just had a baby when this all started and it’s been nonstop for years since then.

I hope Sarah Palin goes home for a while and takes very good care of herself. She looks like she’s had years taken off her life. She needs to sleep!

And, man, is she going to be surprised at how instantly her bestest fans turned on her, not only disrespecting her decision, but in many cases attacking her personally. I know it’s made my head spin here on FR. Seemed to me mostly the problem was that people were embarrassed they’d made such bullheaded statements of 100% that they really did know Palin’s mind — and now they were, in their mind, going to have to eat crow.

Oh, well.

I never thought Palin would run. But looking back, I think she may have been very close to announcing that weekend in Iowa when Perry jumped in instead. At the moment, and since, she was a little shocked and, it seemed, betrayed. She said that Perry had told her personally that he was not running and that she’d not had any indication that he’d changed his mind.

Perry jumping in after he’d told her he wasn’t running may have been the game-changer for her — the train-derailer, to be exact.

That’s a very ill-founded moral equation.

There is no “alignment” between people simply because they reach the same conclusion on a point, especially when they do so by diametrically opposed means.

I’m wondering: why are you going out of your way to “call out” your fellow Freepers just because you disagree with them on a point? I mean, it’s not only a reach, but for Pete’s sake what are you trying to accomplish by telling your fellow Freepers you think they are no better at understanding politics and the needs of our country than Andrew Sullivan?

Drop the vendetta.

Sarah is young. She can take a year off, basically, and get her health back, get her family settled down, and so on, then begin a career of positions of successive responsibility and still run for president when she’s 60 years old if she wants to.
