I guess you won’t go away...

You didn't ask me to go away. You just sent me a two word cryptic message: "Moderator...Please?" Why did you do that?

Omg, the lunacy on FR is staggering.

I agree with you, but some here might be offended by your taking God's name in vain. I would.

[9YearLurker]

I here ya, ‘cept I think minority conservatives get it just as bad, and the reason they go after both is because they’re afraid of them. The last thing we should do is to give in to that.

[Resettozero]

You omitted that you are an obvious troll. . Laughably so.

Perhaps I am and not aware of it. What's an obvious troll?

[rabidralph]

We are not a theocracy, and when it comes to following the Constitution, the CINC’s first job is to protect the American people. So, unfortunately, waterboarding may fall into that category. I hope Sarah can sleep well tonight without your support.

So Martinez has been vetted I guess... Nope, and you better do a little checking on that one. You are forgetting that the vast majority of people, more that half of which are women, don’t have a clue about politics, and wouldn’t even start paying attention until two days before the election in 2016. The women half are going to be much inclined to put a woman in office this go around. So vote for Pence/Walker, I will too! And we will lose.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

I agree.

I did as well. But Palin will be forever grateful to McCain. I don’t particularly like that, but it’s just the way things are.

McCain is a Palin weak point. McCain will always be a Palin weak point.

Palin still rocks. :)

Sarah Palin's Awesome Ping List!

[upsdriver]

Is it important?

[Resettozero]

Hell, she probably hasn’t paid for that gynormous fence she erected between her and the stalker author who’s dead now...

Willow put the evil eye on him, you know.

[ExCTCitizen]

Nope. She’s a grifter, only in it for the money.

Really...and you are a saint?

[upsdriver]

IMO, why explain it? It doesn’t matter a hill of beans. The things people get hung up on amazes me.

Is Sarah Palin serious about 2016

About helping movement conservatives and tea party candidates win primaries (and general elections where she can assist), yes. About running for President or any other office in 2016, almost certainly not.

In the current environment Sarah Palin couldn't win a presidential general election and she knows it. If the economy collapses or something else very dramatic along those lines occurs, then all bets are off - anyone could emerge at that point.

Conventional wisdom says Palin is politically dead, but things change and she is still young. If, as a nation, we suffer some calamity and the public turns on the press (unlikely but possible), a person like Sarah Palin could certainly re-emerge as a contender.

[Blood of Tyrants]

That she had he gall to give birth to a defective Downs baby instead of aborting him.

[HMS Surprise]

Name your prince, don’t just flog away. Let’s assume by the way that Palin does run, and even I don’t believe she will... Wouldn’t she develop a coalition if she ran? Of course she would, and it would be a very dedicated one at that. Why wouldn’t you want that political capital? She would obviously support a Pence or a Walker if they won. Wouldn’t it be helpful to them to have her divert those resources into the national campaign? Who generated the crowds for the ‘08 election? McCain or Palin? Palin has over 4 million facebook followers. How many for Pence? How many for Walker? I rest my case. She should run for the good conservatives, regardless of her chances.

So Martinez has been vetted I guess...

I wasn't floating Martinez' name for prez, I listed her as someone whom Palin might support, because she likes picking women as tie-breakers. You saw my list: Cruz, Walker, Pence.

You are forgetting that the vast majority of people, more that half of which are women, don’t have a clue about politics, and wouldn’t even start paying attention until two days before the election in 2016.

I am forgetting nothing. That type of snark is beneath FR. DON'T fall for the media approach that WOMAN equals feminist voting. Incidentally, Palin does NOT do well among women who don't follow politics. In the 2010 races, Pelosi polled worse than Obama, and worse among women than among men. That's why some of the better PACs tried to make her the face of the Democrat Party.

Are you effin’ serious?

Regarding what? And watch your language; there could be children, young impressionable innocent children reading this over my shoulder. (Now I have to go explain what effin' means.) SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE!

[HMS Surprise]

Twilight zone stuff from the trolls, always fun.

[sauropod]

Spare me. I’ve been here much longer than you.

[sauropod]

Just tell them it’s part of Commie Core....

[RichInOC]

Better question: Are Republicans and conservatives serious about 2016?
