GET OVER IT! Cain is our guy! MOVE ON!
I didn’t think it was possible to top your earlier crying baby post but you did it! Good job
As if they had any idea what her decision would be, they guessed she wouldn't run, then be-littled those of us who REALLY would have liked to have her as the Candidate.
With a 50-50 chance of being Run/Not Run, it's a safe bet to say Not Run, then brag about your "knowledge" and belittle others.
America lost, but we have to band behind the ONLY really Conservative/Principled Candidate in the Field: Cain.
Romney is the Establishment pick, and has the money people behind him, so Cain is a very LONG SHOT to win the Nomination. But then, so was Reagan, when he ran.
We'll see, but I would NEVER vote again for a Democrat-lite Candidate.
WELL SAID !
Only those who wanted to keep bashing Palin in favor of turncoat democrats....
Here all week. Try the veal.
Thank you Sarah, I respect your decision, and may God bless you and your family.
I’ve been her advocate since before McCain picked her. I’m a fan, and will still be a fan. But this is deeply disappointing.
What was the point of coming to Indianola, looking us in the eye, giving that fire-in-the-belly speech, and saying “here’s my plan”? Why have a plan if you’re not a candidate.
I came home from that speech and told everyone “she’s running”. Don’t I feel like a fool tonight.
And you’re right about cutting Bannon off at the knees. Or, maybe she delayed the announcement to help him get the DVD into the stores. Who knows right now?
She made the right decision, at this time... and for our country....get a grip please and don’t throw away your vote.
Sarah either didn’t want to be exposed to the brutal vetting process and the impact on her family
... or she examined the field and didn’t think she could differentiate herself and win.
I think she is amazingly politically astute.
In the end, she toured with her non-campaign bus, thought through all the implications and decided she
didn’t want it. I don’t blame her a bit and I respect her for following her mind and heart.
Writing in her name sounds like she’s your teen idol... time to let it go. Sarah did.
I think at the time of Indianola, she was planning on running. I really do. The savagery of the media this past month, and the horrid verbal assault towards Bristol might have turned the tide. I think she saw the writing on the wall, that the country is literally about to come apart, and she would be targeted as the media’s, the culture’s, the establishment’s ‘object of hate.’ A pretty horrific position to find oneself, and undoubtedly unwinnable. I wanted desperately for her to run, but the reality tells me that she has probably made the smartest move, and might indeed be able to promote her brand of conservatism more effectively. I really do think this. I intend to continue supporting her 100%.
Something changed since Indianola indeed. You may be right.
She’s not right that she will be effective outside the system. Her brand just became irrelevant.
You know that they are partying in the White House tonight.
The same as a black nationalist crypto-Islamic marxist? I don't see any of those in the GOP field, frankly.
I meant that in a more general sense: more out-of-control spending, more creeping socialism, more crony capitalism, no solution to the immigration issue, etc., etc. Basically a slightly different flavor of Tyranny. Whoop-de-friggin'-doo.
Cain is now my preference.
I think Sarah wanted to run, I think she always planned to run but something happened to make her bow out.....
That being said....
There is NO one to take her place....there is no one out there who can take the fight to Bambi, none of the milk toast candidates we have has her balls and if she was going to get out she should have done it months ago and spared all the hurt and grief that folks are feeling now...
And this nonsense that she is going to still be our champion, she doesn’t realize that no one that is the enemy is scared of her anymore, and the creeps are already using this against her, saying THEY WERE RIGHT about her and we, who loved her and believed in her were wrong....even right here on this thread.....
I listened to Mark say she’ll still be out there but it doesn’t matter, she was our Knight in the game, the pure and honest one who would stand up to all the comers, and now she is gone.
I care about America and America needs Sarah Palin, not Romeny or Perry or any other flavor of the month....they were just marking time until the Big dog arrived, and she bailed out on us.....
America deserved better.....I am sorry, but this is real life, and if the family is going to have it rough, then they have it rough and you fight for your cause even if some get hurt, because that what George Washington did and that’s the man we need now.....
But the man we need is a woman: and her name is Sarah Palin and I pray the Lord speaks to her and brings her back to the fight.....and we will be there for her.
I have a piece of ocean front property that is a screaming deal. I will give you first shot at it before I list it with a Realtor. You don't want to pass this deal up.
I wouldn’t be too quick to say her brand will become irrelevent. It might sound like the logical outcome, but if anything, Palin is not your usual, everyday ‘politician.’ She has some themes that could really stoke some fires under the feet of the establishment.
thank goodness some else gets it.....
