Where did I say she was running? Can you quote a post? My objections have been to the personal smears.

Oh come on, don't be like that. You know better and everyone that participated on these threads knows what you were arguing. I remember that you were the one that dismissed EVERY poll showing Palin had little support within the Republican party and that 2/3rds didn't even want her to run. People cited poll after poll pointing out to you that there was just no clamor among most conservatives for a Palin campaign (quite the opposite in fact) and you got downright nasty arguing otherwise. You were one of these Palin stalwarts on thread after thread trying to make the case she was popular and in demand. She wasn't, she knew she had no chance to win and wisely chose not to run.

I'm glad you feel that way but others do not and they are going to tear FR to pieces.

FR won't be torn apart. Time heals all. Everyone knows that the left is the real enemy and we will all put aside our differences in the end. But you and others should at least admit you were completely wrong about Palin running for President, and rethink how you argued your case. A cult of personality sprung up around Sarah Palin, and some of her most devoted supporters became blinded and absolutely hostile to anyone who dared critique the path she had chosen or her prospects for becoming President.

Those who expressed doubt Palin would run and pointed out why mostly operated out of logic and reason, many of those who were SURE she was running and refused to look at the facts were fueled by emotion and something akin to cult behavior. It was not healthy, but thankfully it is over.

I have never believed in polls. Didn't we all cheer GWB when he said he wouldn't govern by polls? So that was code for Palin is running? Who knew?

FR won't be torn apart.

Then you aren't watching.
