Thou shalt not ever predict that Saint Palin may demur. Keep thine thoughts pure and holy.
It's antagonistic comments like that which have earned you the label: PDSer.
You reveal yourself to be a fraud when you attempt to sound oh-so-reasonable when talking about Cain, but go off your nut in any discussion about Palin.
Frankly, I don't even know why you come to these threads and do the same old kabuki dance, day in and day out. What is the point, unless you truly intend to wound her in some way?
If you were honestly looking for answers, you would have ceased asking the same tired questions months ago, because well meaning people have done their darnedest to give you those answers hundreds of times.
You act just like a liberal troll. Quit acting surprised and insulted when people nail you on it.
God help anyone who actually predicts Gov. Palin won’t run.
For you worshipers, that is sacrilege.
Of course, when she doesn’t run, you have no downside. You just use ad hominem to attack people whose political acument suggest she won’t.
You St. Paliners won’t just disagree and say “well, we think she will.” You must call the detractors “liberal trolls,” run down the supported candidates (if stated) of these who dare say she may not run (denotative, not connotative — not that it matters to you acolytes).
I have yet to say a single bad word about Gov. Palin, but you who worship at her shrine do no good for her. If she were to see these threads where you run the table by just slamming all analysis that suggests less than she will be the next POTUS (much less run), she would probably be unhappily bemused.

Now, FD2003 may describe himself as a Cain supporter instead of a Palin antagonist. But who he supports is irrelevant -- in the same way that who I support, in the context of my goal of always and aggressively opposing Romney, is irrelevant. Since the end of the 2008 primaries, I've OPPOSED Romney every chance I got, and do what I can to see him lose, to convince people to reject him. I want him removed from anything like "power" in the GOP.
Bear with me -- this isn't about Romney, it's about being able to glean insight into a candidate by the behavior of those who support and/or oppose him or her. In tryng to convince fellow Republicans to join me, I will quote Romney, use his own words, recount his own record, to convince them. Or I will recount and cite blatant LIES and devious misrepresentations made by his supporters. I use all truths, WHOLE truths, and leave insults to others. I like to think that speaks volumes about the mindset and values of those of us who oppose Romney. It says we're honest, right-minded, and hold a very strong hand.
If freedumb2003 and other resident Palin antagonists are so convinced that Palin is not good for the GOP, if they were right-minded folks, they would refrain from useless cop-outs like accusing those (like me) who support Palin and hope very much that she'll run, of "worshipping" her, etc. etc. If they were right-minded, they'd do the same that so many of us FReepers who oppose Romney do: oppose by way of issues and reason. When a group has to rely on pure emotional attack and insult ("you guys all think she's Saint Palin!") it's a giant red flag that their premise is wrong and they have a very weak hand.
Their behavior speaks volumes. Palin adversaries frequently stoop to either outright lying ("She created a windfall profits tax on oil companies!") or deliberate misrepresentation ("She quit!"), knowing full well what they are doing; they rely on being devious and disingenuous. Or they rely on deliberate insults, which is what guys like fdumb are doing when they accuse those of us who support Palin as "worshipping" her -- the other side of the same coin of the kind of behavior exhibited by the Romney supporters who accused people like me of being motivated by "hate."
Folks who oppose Palin have a mission, and I can identify with it in that I, and many other FReepers, have the same mission with regard to Romney. Those of us on FR who have tried to convince others that Romney is bad for the country -- we use truth and are straightforward and direct. It appears that most of the time, those who think Palin isn't good for the country have a track record of being insulting, devious and misleading in their quest go about trying to convince others. It reveals low character.
Folks on the fence with regard to Palin -- take that into consideration. The behavior of Palin's detractors speaks volumes.
