Unfortunately for the most radical and extreme Sarah supporters, it is verboten to utter one word of even the slightest doubt concerning her actions and words Like your posts, it was all unnecessary.
The Republic is on its deathbed and the most brilliant thing to be said is Sarah was a mistake. Way to go Dick.

Sure, Sarah Palin may have been a little green, but consider who's running mate she was, Dick:
PING!

Has nothing to do with any superior intellect.
We’re talking about something obvious—the fact that politics is corrupt.
It doesn’t take a superior intellect to know that politicians are far more likely to be cheaters than to be honest men and women.
So the point here is: when it comes to the two most important qualities for a politician to have—honesty and courage—Sarah Palin has more than the vast majority of all politicians.

After looking at all those pictures, many of them taken since 2008, maybe the mistake Cheney was referring to is they should have held her until this term to run.....Still will go that ABC misquoted him or took it out of content,

"I like Governor Palin. I've met her. I know her. She - attractive candidate. But based on her background, she'd only been governor for, what, two years. I don't think she passed that test
of being ready to take over. And I think that was a mistake."I don't like hearing or saying it, but Cheney's GOP-Elitism is showing here.
Now they SHOULD have ran with her this term because That would have gotten the Conservative base solidified and showed a sharp contrast to the average hard working American to Ubama.
As for the "Moderates" she would scare off, they can go eff themselves, they are Democrats anyway, they just don't want to admit that they want only "Moderate" Tyranny.

Still haven’t heard any examples of what it is that people supposedly believe about the daily tasks of a president that Sarah Palin could not do.

Actually with Todd the Union member, their small business experience, their connection to hockey (MI does like them)Bristol covering the single moms with her reality show, the connection she has with family who have a disabled child; She certainly covers more of the “moderates” then any of the other candidates mentioned.

To remind Romney that the call of history demands more than the politically expedient and spineless choice, one which he is all too likely to make. You describe Romney perfectly, but why do you ascribe those attribute to Palin?

Hey, you wont get any argument from me about Sarah having her Bases Covered.
But as Rush says, "Liberals are Liberals first" and I add to that "whether are Republicans, Democrats or Independents".
I have no doubt Sarah would attract all the real, hard working, decent folks around the country, regardless of their Political Party membership and curb stop Ubama in the election.
However the GOP-E obviously felt differently and in the end, I believe that may cost them the GOP, if we can't take it back from them, we should let it die and build a new around those same real, hard working, decent folks around the country, with Sarah leading the way.
Other wise all we have is two left of Center parties, one Socialist and one Outright Communist.

Don’t confuse the GOP-e cultists on freerepublic with facts. They might “sprain” their brains.
To: MestaMachine
The RNC just called asking for money to help defeat Obama.
What timing. I think I was polite.

(Sarah 2012, or sooner)
To: KC_Lion
Just a thought....we've all commented or seen comment where the GOPe seem to nominate the next guy on the list. Romney stepped back for McCANE but still continued to organize and prepare. Sarah to some stepped back too. IMO she didn't just step back like Geraldine Fer. did. She has been very active working for candidates, making her self a presence in the selection of the nomination. I see it as creating political chips. She won't spend those chips until something of value is offered.
She has more to offer, more value now then she did in 2008. She, unlike many others mentioned, has name recognition. Yes they've attacked her, but after each attack she has stood taller then before.

Cheney should just shut up and enjoy his retirement. If he needs to look at the mistakes of 2008, he should start with himself and G.W. Bush, McCain, RINO liberal GOP congress.
Since we are in the process of introspection, lets assign the major blame accordingly.
To: Moorings
Dear Sarah Palin, if you or your people are reading this, please feel free to give back as good as you're getting! We've got your back!!
You don't need to be respectful of these two-bit monkeys who are throwing stones at you. They have taken this country into a lot of troubled waters. If they were ship captains, they would have been out of work and thoroughly disgraced.
Please feel free to point out their records. You don't need to hold back for the sake of the party, as they don't feel the same way. You don't need to be respectful of them either.

Thanks onyx.
McCain’s choice of Palin dropped out of the blue, and re-energized his campaign.
And no one on his campaign staff appears to have been in favor of it, and undermined it and her.
Her two years as governor of Alaska, fending off frivolous lawsuits which just by coincidence followed her success against oil company, uh, influence over Alaska’s gov’t, is more than a match for Zero’s professional political experience.
Cheney’s only right in that the selection wasn’t handled well.
