She didn’t run last time because she knew what kind of effect it would have on her kids.

Four things happened last time just after her 'One Nation" bus tour that tipped the scales against her running I think:

1) Bristol had that nasty run-in with the LGBT mafia at a bar while shooting her reality show, which led to death threats against her.

2) Little Trig himself starting getting death threats. 3) A doctor's report came in that said Trig's development would be significantly hurt if Palin was away for another campaign during his critical growth years (she actually said this at one point, but it was ignored and has gone down the memory hole).

4) Rick Perry declared.

Just using the term, “worship at the temple of Palin” also gives you away.

You could just say, I don’t like her that much and don’t support her.

But you call her names just like the left. A twit in this case.

What’s that about?

An actual conservative who thought there were better choices than Plain would not call her a name.

You should just say you support Obama and the democrats and are here to disrupt things and cause dissension.

I don’t believe it. Palin lost all credibility with me when she didn’t run in 2012 and led her most loyal supporters on a wild goose chase far past what was reasonable. If not for her one of the other conservative candidates could have garnered the resources that were essentially wasted on her. I really do love Palin and what she stands for but I will not invest myself in someone who doesn’t think twice about using the people who are most loyal to her and then lets them down in the worst possible way. Now she is playing the tease again when the political winds are even more against her? Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me. It just doesn’t make any sense unless she is planning to go third party.

Does Cruz meet citizenship rules?

According to the law, yes. That's not without saying it won't be made an issue of.

You believe Obama is not radioactive? Absolute contempt for this man is vastly greater than any mealy mouthed whining about Sarah.
Sarah is thermonuclear. Her candidacy will bring throngs into the streets and a cry for patriotism not seen since WWII. She is unstoppable, crazy nincompoops notwithstanding.

In 2012, many waited on the sidelines to see what she would do. She waited until late into the political season to say she would not run. By then, it was too late for another strong conservative to jump in.

Bullcrap. She announced her decision to not run on October 5, 2011, over a year before the election.

I thought I remembered something about him giving up his Canadian citizenship? Not sure of that.

It is true that he is not a natural born citizen but neither is Ears.

Are you going to snub Cruz, with what I think are his abilities to lead the country, because of that requirement in the Constitution?

The country is in severe trouble and may not survive. The Constitution won’t matter then. Cruz knows it, and I believe, may have the capability to help steer us out of this mess. I would vote for him and sleep peacefully that evening. ‘Pod.

Hmmmm...I seem to remember a bunch of PDS folks around here in 2011 hysterically claiming that it was too soon then for her to run, that she should instead wait for 2016.

Now some of those very same people are saying that it's too late.

It'd be hilarious if it was not so pathetic.

I like her. A lot.

However, the left via the media, has falsely defined her as a dim wit, reactionary. They did the same to Dan Quail.

She simply will galvanize the left to mock her. Don’t believe she can overcome this and win.

I think her presence in the debates would be a complete wild card for everyone involved.

I think Sarah and Cruz would shine in the debates. . and be a natural Pres/VP combination.

Cruz/Palin 2016!

Look, we're on the same side of this Louis, as I have expressed upthread.

My assessment of Hussein is that there is still a significant portion of the country (30-40%) that worship him.

Almost ALL of the media does too.

Almost ALL of the media characterizes Sarah as Caribou Barbie.

These people will not participate in bring[ing] throngs into the streets and [creating] a cry for patriotism not seen since WWII. That cry for patriotism won't happen until the economy really crashes and money becomes worthless, food becomes scarce, and the government's reaction will be to clamp down (all of which I believe will happen). My analysis stands. She can't win, much as I want her to. 'Pod.

To you folks calling Palin a joke, or saying she has no chance, I think you should look back in history at how the Left attempted to destroy her.

The Left will always tell us who they fear by who they try and destroy. They tried to destroy Palin...more than once, and more recently tried to destroy Ted Cruz. If Palin and Cruz were jokes, the Left wouldn’t waste their time with either of them. But the Left know all too well these two individuals connect with average Americans.

I’ll wager anybody here; in the next few days we will witness the media and other Leftist outfits waging an all out assault on Palin. The Left is scared to death of her. Many of those who post here are scared to death of their own shadows.

Now, whether she runs...we’ll find out.

Fat Bottomed Girl has the MSM in her pocket.

That’s partly why she is the presumptive nominee and partly why she’s no longer radioactive.

The country has also changed greatly and people have short memories.

Huckabuck and Christie are buffoons.

Perry and Bush III will be significant competition for her or Cruz.

I would like to see one of these tickets win.

Cruz/Palin

Cruz/Walker

Walker/Cruz

Walker/Palin

If she runs as VeeP and wins a second term for the same that means she could run as Prez afterwards and possibly go for another eight years for a total of sixteen years in the White House. Who wouldn’t like that? ;)

I’ve been watching what the Left is doing and you have been making my point about Palin being made white hot radioactive.
