if she's serious, she needs to hope that Romney wins and appoints her energy secretary

LOL, there's about as much chance of that as Obama appointing her. Let's not be ignorant about the "split" in the Republican party that's been there for at least 50 years.

Palin cares so much about you and this country that she.... has an aid post on Facebook sometimes.

Wonderful.

She could have had a legal defense fund, she didn’t try because she was not serious.

When I saw your first comment on the thread, I sort of suspected you were talking out the side of your neck. Now I know you are.

Palin DID have a legal defense fund, but guess what? Liberals took her to court over it, and the judge ruled that her defense fund was illegal. Just like that, he took away her only source of defense funds.

Know what you're talking about before putting your ignorance in print.

I did the math. The defense was being covered by the state's own atty office. She claimed she was worried about all the money it was costing the state, but that amount was, well, infinitesimal compared to the state budget and compared to the the tax increase she levied on oil production.

She wanted to cash in and was bored with the job. And she proceeded to cash in, milked the potential of a presidential run for as long as she could to maximize her book sales and speaking fees, and make fools of her boosters.

Where did you pop up from? DU? You can't come in here and start inventing 'facts', and not expect to get outed for it.

Your statement is pure horse hockey. The laws on the books in Alaska at the time, forbade ANY public monies from being spent by the Governor for defense against ethics lawsuits.

Try again, troll.

And she endorses conservative candidates in primaries who almost always go on to win their primaries. Which is more than you know how to do.

I wish Palin had stuck with her governorship....I know she was under constant attack....

Do you understand the military term "kill zone" or "k.z."?

That is what the 'Rat Lege up there had turned public office into, with Sarah's name written all over the legislation. They were absolutely -- with Rahm Emanuel's and Barack Obama's and the Rahmmy 'RatRoots' collaboration and conspiring -- to mummify Sarah in office, just tie her up and lynch her and break her family -- as in bankrupt, bust, ruination.

We owe those b*stards, but meanwhile, they successfully drove her out of office -- and nobody in U.S. politics could have stayed in that offices with that combination, with those tools available, teaming up to destroy the incumbent governor. Press, Lege, courts, 'Rats, AnkleBiters -- it was a "k.z." for sure, by design.

Get it now?

....if Romney loses, everyone who backed him in the primary will be doing some major soul-searching, ....

Everybody except Karl Rove. He has no soul.

No reflection in a mirror, either.

She had a legal defense fund, but the ankle biters were successful in having it declared illegal....

A serious, academically rigorous book about her governorship would be timely about now. It would also send about a dozen people in Alaska and a few in D.C. to prison.

Sarah What? It’s been at least a month since I’ve heard this name.

Maybe her usefulness to FNC has come to an end.
After all she outlived Glenn Beck by well over a year.
After the election they may call her back, if O wins.

Her FNC contract was the reason I knew she had zero intention of running early last year yet scores of fools (cultists) here lived in a dreamworld for well over a year and refused to read the flashing billboard that told them,.

Examiner.com is a blog that you or I could sign up for in 2 minutes and become an "author" just like the jackwagon mentioned in the article. They make it sound like they're quoting some reporter at the Variety, The Los Angeles Times, Des Moines Register or CNN! What a laff!!

I agree that if Romney loses, an enraged Tea Party will initiate the purge of a lifetime. But even then, you support someone like Rubio and he comes out for a bunch of lib positions. And, there are other problems I’ll discuss in private mail.

Ad hominem. Nice work.

I didn't know she had a defense fund: guilty.

Don't confuse ignorance with stupidity. Ignorance is easily fixed stupid is eternal.

I stand by my original statement: Sarah Palin is not a serious politician, and her resignation, among other things, proves it.

She IS serious about promoting Sarah Palin, and proves it regularly.

You claimed in no uncertain terms that Palin had no defense fund, as though it were absolute fact. Your knowledge of her life and career are so weak, that you didn't even realize you were stating a falsehood, but you're so intent on maligning her, that you risked being ridiculed to do so.

I'm afraid that isn't just ignorance. It really is stupidity.

Stand by your ill-informed viewpoint of her if you will, but it's now been seriously discounted.

Well .. Sarah’s not the only one .. my complaints are many - which I have emailed to FOX.

If they don’t want my viewership .. fine with me .. they’re not the only game in town.

Too arrogant hosts, and too many liberals as program managers who always give us the most radical leftists who are so rude and talk over everybody .. can’t stand it.

When she quit her office to cash in on being a celebritard, she cited the expense to government as a reason. Here's your citation. http://bit.ly/SrV5oj.

Is defending Palin on the internets the FR version of Cialis?
