Sarah Palin is being awfully quiet, and I am hoping that signifies the quiet before the storm...

We're not fellow FReepers for nothing!
The politically smart thing for Gov. Palin to do for Gov. Palin probably would have been to stay as Governor. The action she took, while viewed as quiting (by some), was actually courageous and in the best interest of Alaska, as well as in the best interest of the Conservative cause.
In 2008, we gained approximately 63 seats in the House, many of them the result of a Palin endorsement. What would Palin’s influence have been had she still been fighting bogus ethics complaints in Alaska as Governor?
Another overlooked aspect of Palin, as a former Governor, she was sometimes the loan voice or leading voice of opposition against Obama policies. While others were busy checking with their focus groups on what an acceptable, politically correct response was, Palin was calling it like it is (remember the Death Panels?).
Would she have been as big a voice for the Tea Party had she been stuck in Alaska? Probably not. Would her challenges of Obama have received as much notoriety as they did if she were busy fighting all the frivolous complaints as Governor? Again, very likely, no.
While Palin was going through all the ethics complaints as Governor and former Vice Presidential candidate, where was her support from the Republican establishment in fighting these complaints? As I've read from numerous sources, her support from her (our) Party was nonexistent.
Did she make money after her resignation? Of course. Is that wrong? Not as I see it. While it benefited her personally, it also enabled her to assume the position she now has.
Lastly, why is Palin’s resignation held against her by some, while many of these same people never said a word when the current President resigned his past position in the US Senate. The current Governor of Texas, after promising during his past reelection that he would serve his full term, is now poised to resign should he win the nomination. Where are these same people who were/are so critical of Palin resigning?
What constitutes an acceptable resignation? As I see it, an unacceptable or acceptable resignation is defined by one’s political supporters or opponents. Without the politics, most resignations are acceptable.
I am currently about 3/4 through “America By Heart” and the chapter on “Mama Grizzlies” is one that every woman in this country needs to read. Sarah will run! Perry is not a true conservative and Sarah will prove that to all true Conservatives. Sarah will not take back seat to another man...including waiting for 8 years for it to be her turn!
God bless our America...she needs our prayers, she deserves to last the lifetime of our children's children's children. America under this president, will be destroyed step by step unless WE THE PEOPLE stop him...and with Sarah's leadership, America will be the proud country WE THE PEOPLE all want for our children and grandchildren.
EAGLES UP SARAH!
Think it through. Sarah Palin knows better than anyone that millions upon millions of Americans have already chosen her as their next president. She knew this over a year ago.
She's got far too much respect for the American people, and for our political process, to string the country along while she "makes up her mind." She knew over a year ago that she needed to decide quickly, and that if she couldn't commit, she'd have to come out early and say that.
The very fact that she's still being mum about her plans this late in the game should tell you what you need to know.
It’s going to be fun re-posting your comments after Palin declares. I hope you’ll laugh as hard as the rest of us do.
Son of a gun. Thanks for the reminder. I believe that expired yesterday.
Well, bye.
You were never really with Sarah anyway.
You truly need to be outed for the political operative you are. There’s no doubt in my mind that you’re being paid by someone to post your incessant anti-Palin garbage.
No one expends that kind of energy knocking down a potential candidate for free.
Oh man, wouldn't that be the ultimate slap in the face? She won't do it, though. She's way too classy for that.
Projection much?
You wrote: “’ll bet she’s in before Labor Day.”
It wouldn’t surprise me if she announced on that “Socialist Holiday!”
Game on!
Huh? She’s done two Facebook postings and a Greta interview in the last 48 hours.
So she continues to string them along? That makes no sense.
Agreed. I like Sarah too, but some of her ‘supporters’ on here (I use the term loosely) have begun to seriously worship her and that concerns me.
She is human, and fallible, not a god.
You're either not intelligent enough to comprehend the reasoning I laid out in my last post, or you're just being snarky. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume the latter (this time).
To reiterate; Sarah Palin respects the American people far too much to string them along while trying to make up her mind about running for office. The truth is, she actually made up her mind a long time back, but is keeping mum about it for strategic reasons.
I am far more intelligent than some people I see on here.
If she has made up her mind and is not telling anyone, that is stringing them along.
Fish or cut bait already, I want to get to the issues and away from this “Is she or isn’t she” garbage.
And, BTW, you don’t know her or her mind. You have no way of knowing if she has made up her mind or not, it is just wishful thinking.
I have no idea what it is about some people that makes other people throw their brains out the window. I like Palin a lot, and would probably vote for her, but I do not like what I am seeing in some of her most ardent supporters here.
I still do not think that Sarah misspoke about the debt ceiling. She is still a private citizen. What she was saying is that from her position she can’t really do anything to stop anything that the congress does at this point in time. She says that it looks like they are going to pass something that will raise the debt ceiling, even though she does not support it and would not go that route herself. So if they are going to do that anyway, then get something useful out of it. Don’t throw away what little power you have congress.
I so agree with you.
I feel like an overexcited battery bursting with energy. I want action! I want Sarah as my President now! :)
