This Daily Beast article is just another one of the string of anti-Palin articles appearing in the last few days. The EFFETE wing of the GOPe has long manifested Palin Derangement Syndrome (PDS) and it is clear that these writers are putting forth the designated GOPe talking points that recently went out.

The sad thing is that, judging from some of the posts in this thread, some from the ranks of the LOWER IQ AND/OR MORE GULLIBLE FReepers have partaken of the PDS kool-aid.

sad to say, i don’t think she is going to run for anything—and the way she was treated by the left and the right could be the cause. She may serve in other ways. I heard he most recent speach and it wasn’t her best. Still, she has a role to play—in the next cabinate. She needs to focus on her roots more. She can be a good spokeswoman for the conservative cause.

She’s supported conservative candidates like Ted Cruz for Senate so she must be destroyed and discredited.....

re: Elitists can’t stand anyone that isn’t another elitist. They look down on the hoi polloi as peasants to be exploited and used and thrown away at their pleasure.

That’s what happened when Sharon Angle ran against Harry Reid in Nevada. The elitists in the Republican ranks supported Harry Reid.

You can't fathom why Palin decided not to run? Take a long hard look at Romney's sleazy underhanded dishonest tactics,lying and slander, against every single GOP candidate who stayed in the race.

No, that’s not what I said. I said I couldn’t fathom why she decided to rent a big bus and tour the primary states with her family, if she wasn’t planning on running. Doesn’t make much sense.

That is a fabulous quote.

Yes, and it was funny how once the primary season ended and the target would be Obama the kid gloves went on Romney and his operatives and Obama was subjected to the gentlest possible treatment. It was stupid and it led invariably to Romney (the nice guy in the general election) being defeated and victory being handed to the undeserving Obama.

But here’s my question… what changed?
More people slllooowwwly realizing Palin is far more interested in building her brand (reality TV shows, books, paid speeches, etc) than actually running for office?


I guess she should have made B movies instead...

I think she was planning on running, but given Romney's hardball tactics, she decided against it, after renting the bus, etc. All of the candidates dropped out eventually, given Romney's relentless slanders. And Sarah had already had a dose of what Romney was capable of doing in 2008. I do not fault her for making the decision after all not to try to run; the cost for her family was probably just too great, because she felt that there was not much the Romney machine would not do to destroy her; that Romney with all of his money had decided the nomination was his. While I get really mad when the pundits try to compare this, Romney's evident 3rd attempt to run, with Ronald Reagan who won the election after being nominated the very first time, RR did make an effort to win the nomination twice before. So what is wrong with Sarah, still a young woman trying again? Other candidates have made some early attempts at running and then decided not to pursue the nomination, but since they did not rent a bus, is it the fact that she rented a bus and then dropped out is what you are upset about? Was it your bus, and you were counting on the rental income?

I have no idea what Palin was doing but I know it makes sense to observe, feel
and try to comprehend what the voting public is feeling. If she got the indication
it wasn’t her time then I can’t blame her for not running. JMO

Nope. But do you think it makes sense that she all the sudden decided to do this ditzy stunt just to jump up and down and look important? Just to make fools of people?

That doesn't make much sense, either.

Who knows what she was doing? Who knows why she decided not to run in 2012? For someone to whine and cry because they volunteered to get their hopes up that she would, and blame it for ills, kinda shows lack of accountability for one's own actions. Stop whining and buck up.

Maybe there was another reason, too. Palin endorsed Gov. Perry in his run for governorship, and he'd sworn up and down that he was going to remain in the governorship, by golly, follow through. He won, then crawfished and ran in the presidential primaries anyway.

I think that might have been part of it. Windy probably remembers it better than I do.

Exactly. It’s one thing to have the libs and their minions attack Palin. That’s somewhat expected. Although admittedly no one might have expected the incredibly vile lengths they would sink to.

Usually things wouldn’t get that far because there would be a vibrant allied pushback. But the GOP-E and much of the so-called conservative punditry didn’t bother. Because they are corrupt, elite scumbags, and were happy to see Palin deep-sixed. Many of them (like here) even joined in with the wilding, cowtowing to the elite media lefties, whom they are actually more culturally and ideologically alligned with. The libs are bad enough, but these backstabbing cretins... they are the lowest of the low. Sub-human filth. Frankly, I hold them in even deeper contempt than the lefty-libs in the media.

“For someone to whine and cry...”

Who is whining and crying? I simply stated my opinion. Apparently some people are offended if you don’t share their opinions, but I could care less.
