Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin wants failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney to get off the stage as Romney, the career candidate, seriously considers a third run White House run.

Ted Cruz would have served less time as Senator as Palin was a Governor. Palin resigned from office due to frivolous lawsuits filed by her enemies and to prevent both her and her state from being financially ruined.
Yet, Palin is looked down upon as a "quitter," but Cruz is being hailed as the 2nd coming even though he's just got elected in 2012.
Cruz needs to stay in the Senate and finish out his term that Texas voters elected him to.
At the turn of the 20th century, many people were lamenting the fact that we were transitioning from an agricultural based economy to an industrial/manufacturing economy. All in all, things turned out well for us and our standard of living is far superior today. In fact, Americans living below the poverty line today have lifestyles more luxurious than the aristocrats of 100 years ago could even dream about.
Life expectancy 100 years ago was roughly 48 years. People who reached their 50s, unless they were independently wealthy, were expected to die and stop being a burden on their children. These days, you have people actually making career changes in their 50s and being productive citizens well into their 70s.
As we move away from the Industrial Age, I have much optimism for the future. Some are calling it the Information Age but I think it will be far more than that. Soon it will be possible to grow organs and extend human lifespans to over 200 years. The average person will not have to perform any menial tasks at all as they will all be done by robots (we will probably call them something else as "robots" sounds too much like bad 20th century science fiction).
Yes, that is what I meant. The more RINOS the merrier. Split those dollars and that vote.
I agree. No to fatso, mittens, or jebbush. If any one of those frauds get the GOP nomination, it will prove that we have a uni-party of Dem/GOP elitist dictators unresponsive to the people.
In that event, it will be necessary to run a 3rd party candidate as a means of wrecking the GOP elite.
Well I don’t argue with your fact.
However China is where the jobs have gone. America has lost millions of jobs, and they are all now being done in the world’s largest communist nation, and that nation is rapidly growing as a result of America’s throwing off all those jobs.
China is now a larger export engine, than America is.
China is a massive, closed nation. They do not allow Americans to immigrate. Unless the Americans are of Chinese heritage.
In effect, it is a massive race-based nation, without elections.
I strongly believe a segment of the GOP has sold out to communist China.
Sold out.
Nobody is yet complaining, but we are now 18 trillion in debt, and we don’t made stuff in America anymore.
China is in charge. Rapidly growing, and we are not only not doing a thing to compete, we are helping China to compete against us.
China.
I don’t blame China. At least not completely. I blame Americans who have sold out every single thing which was American, to China, for a percentage of the gross.
There has been a MASSIVE sell-out, done by both parties, and it continues to this very moment.
It is in fact getting worse.
America now has nearly 100,000,000 people out of work.
Bring back American jobs.
Make stuff, right here once again.
Sarah Palin has no chance of securing the GOP nomination for president. She has no money to do so. All of the PAC’s she associated with are open to anyone to see what kind of money they have on hand, since financial disclosure of a PAC’s assets are required by law. When you look at those it’s plain to see there is no way she can afford a presidential run in this day and age. We’re living in the days of presidential campaigns costing hundreds of millions of dollars. You do not raise that in 5 to 10 dollar increments from her devout followers. You simply have to have large dollar donors acting on your behalf to underwrite the fixed, continuous expenses of a campaign - staff, office space and attendant utility & operating costs, travel, venues for your public appearances - and multiply that by 50 states. It’s staggering. The fact is Palin has nowhere near that kind of money, nor any access to it since she’s not courting those who can help her financially. Needless to say, those who donate to the RNC overall - such as the Gas Chamber of Commerce - will make absolutely sure she has no path into the GOP nomination. They’d pull every dime of funding to the RNC if Preibus ever thought of working with her to secure the nomination for herself.
So any thought of a presidential run by her is no more than Pie in the Sky daydreaming. The facts on the ground are clear enough - she’s too broke to mount any sort of campaign required to win. It’s no more complicated than that.
If you’re going to take every anti-GOPe remark Palin makes as a sign that she’s running, you’re going to be disappointed.
If the left is SERIOUSLY opposed to Sarah Palin running,then logic says this would be the way to go. The key thing here is whether or not they are truly opposed,or if it is a feint.
Sarah would make a good Secretary of Energy.
She knows how to take on the Oil Companies and still promote Energy Production efforts like Keystone XL.
Actually I believe Sarah has somewhere around 12 million or so.
Almost exactly what Obama, now has.
She can indeed, afford to run for President.
Don’t read Breitbart articles as much as I’d like to... site seizes up my laptop.

Oh, boy, do I know what you mean. It’s a mess there.
The lack of annoying ads, pop-ups, etc., here at FR is just great. Going to sites like “Breitbart” is a wonderful reminder for our need to financially support FR.
Ted Cruz Files Immigration Amendment To Ban Path To Citizenship
Sen Ted Cruz also supports temporary legalization status in the immigration bill
"Sen. Ted Cruz introduced an amendment to the current immigration bill back in May that would have removed the path to citizenship from the bill completely. But it also supported the same temporary legal status (RPI status) that is already in the bill that Sen. Marco Rubio has been discussing. And even more than that, it also supported permanent legal residency status as well.
No matter how you slice and dice it, it's still AMNESTY.
My biggest concern, is Cruz' support for unchecked legal immigration. Unchecked legal immigration is actually worse than illegal immigration down the road.
Never say "Never" but I think you are right unless there are drastic changes in the RNC. If she runs it will have to be third party and success via that road is unlikely. She knows that.
I don’t know how many PACs Palin may have but the SarahPAC has less than a million
on hand at the end of 2014. It spent some $200,000 on candidates that year.

You show no evidence of a flip flop.
You said that he was for a Pathway to Citizenship.
I showed you that he is against a Pathway to Citizenship.
How does your wife feel about you refusing to vote for her? :)
Triple LOL. Post of the day.
TX has write-ins only for a declared write-in candidate in a general election. No write-ins are allowed in a primary in TX. The establishment has circled the wagons around us, and we won’t be able to break out. “Jebbie, Here He Comes!”
Ping.
In WWII people were willing to sacrifice in order to win the war. We need that feeling again to win the economic war we are losing with China.
The problem is that big business owns most politicians so that they will not vote against their corporate masters. The love of money has overcome the love of country.
