Going Rogue: Palin says she plans to 'shake up the GOP machine' w/ $1.2M raised through her PAC
The London Daily Mail ^ | January 29, 2013 | Leslie Larson

Posted on 01/29/2013 2:34:17 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Once again Sarah Palin is showing that she has no plans to play by the rules.

She has parted ways with FOX News after a turbulent relationship with the conservative cable news channel, taken pot shots at pundits in the 'lame stream media' and slammed her own party for selecting Mitt Romney as the 2012 Republican presidential nominee.

Now the former Alaska governor says she'll use the $1.2 million raised through her SarahPAC to 'shake up the GOP machine' and unveiled a vague vision on how she'll get her message out to a larger audience.

News broke on Friday night that she had not renewed her $1 million annual contract with FOX News, after three years as a contributor on Roger Ailes' network.

Palin then spoke out on Saturday, in an interview with Breitbart.com, saying that she was working to 'free up opportunities to share more broadly the message of the beauty of freedom and the imperative of defending our republic and restoring this most exceptional nation.'

Calling the future 'wide open' with opportunities, she shared how she plans 'to pick battles wisely, and all in due season' - hinting that she still has a fight left in her.

Her vision for the future coincided with the financial disclosure from her Political Action Committee, SarahPAC, with records released on Monday showing she ended 2012 with nearly $1.2 million in the bank.

She raised around $20,790 between Nov. 27 and Dec. 31 and spent $67,800 during that time period on expenses including consulting, speech writing and legal fees...

Remarking that you didn't prove your assertion is an attack?

This is an open forum, you might want to rethink.........

I’m a 2000 sign up. Some of the older ones that taught us the ropes went off the rails and got zotted. It was disheartening to watch.

We are extremely sorry to see that you have no relationship with truth.

Our suggestion is to turn off TV and ditch the newspaper.

Thank you.

Sorry, it was during the early Sarah wars with pissant that I coined the term "1%er". It referred to those conservatives that consider themselves purists. Sarah wasn't ever "pure" enough. Many of them used her relationship with McCain as proof, or any other kind of excuse to show us she wasn't really a conservative.

My apologies for the bad communication.

Wait.. was it the prior election? ... politics and time are all getting so mixed up any-more :/ ... I just want to find a place in a forest 100s of miles outside of any contact with any human (except for family).. hunt for food/necessities.. etc.. :\

It may well come to this soon :p

Did I say anything about you being banned? If I had the power to do so, yes, I would....but I don’t.

Anywho, I HATE when people use the “noob”. Using that term to demean a fellow FReeper means you lost the argument.

We need MORE “noobs” to join the effort. Demeaning them diminishes our cause.

If you hate Sarah so much then stay the f%^K off her threads and IGNORE her.

Apparently you can’t. Looks like she lives rent free in your head as well.

“If you hate Sarah so much then stay the f%^K off her threads and IGNORE her.”

Hmmm, so going by that logic there should be no posts on Free Republic on Obama and I assume that you do not comment on any of those threads as well, right? Perhaps it is slightly lost on you that the whole point of this site is to exchange views, both positive and negative on various subjects. If you want an echo chamber you don’t even need to get on line, just start talking to yourself.

And for the record, I don’t hate Palin. I just see her as yet another politician that had the potential to actually do something but did not by her own choice. So having demonstrated what she is giving her money is the last thing that I would do. But if you want to pay her rent then go ahead, just don’t expect it to actually result in anything other than her rent being paid.

Do you have photo bucket? I made all my pics private. But I’m sure there’s a way to allow certain people in.

I also have pics on there that you may enjoy sharing (not of me though). Let me know!

Oh, I see what you mean now.

I bet those who demanded 101% Purity were also probably Mitt's biggest pushers weren't they?

lost the argument.


I can 1 up you there, hon.. when people use the term, "racist" to describe anyone that is against ILLEGAL immigration.. TERRORISM (Muslim, etc..).. there IS no specific race there.. there are 'white' Mexicans, Brazilians, Costa Ricans, etc.. There are Brown, Yellow, black, White Muslims...so.. where does RACE come in?!


Does "RACE" = color? Culture? Creed? Nationality?!?! (<- this is a part of it)..

Race baiters, please GET THE HECK off of FreeRepublic, and out of our lives.

Haven't even STARTED about queers........

"My basic argument still stands (despite the irrational desire of people like you to stifle all opinions that don’t meet with your approval) that Palin is not anything more than a political hack looking for more money to fund her lifestyle."

"And for the record, I don’t hate Palin."

Calling an honest American woman a political hack sounds like hate to me.

Perhaps you can change your name to lapped up koolaid_in_LA.

Actually no, it was primarily pissant's Hunter posse, and Rabscuttle's goofy hate everything posse I had to fight.

There were lots of others though, Paulists, immigration purists, heck, I even remember some socon purists (I never understood that one).

Just a bit of history for you, the Sarah wars were brutal back then. Onyx remembers.
