Sarah Palin Confirms Participation in Tea Party Debate [RUMOR]
The Christian Post ^ | Friday, September 2, 2011 | By Christine Thomasos | Christian Post Contributor

A nightstick the size of a telephone poll and the muscle to wield it effortlessly!
WATCH HER FIGHT LIKE A GIRL!



"Mr. _resident, GAME ON!" APRIL 16, 2011

Amid much speculation about whether or not Sarah Palin will choose to run in the 2012 presidential election, the former Alaskan Governor has announced she will participate in a nationally televised Tea Party Republican Debate.



Although Palin will take part in the debate in the Sept. 12 debate in Tampa, Fla., she still has yet to confirm that she is looking to become a presidential hopeful. However, the 2008 vice presidential candidate seems to be dropping hints via her Twitter page.

"America is waiting for the president to make good on this promise," Palin recently posted on Twitter. "I'll be talking about this and more."

Although Palin will join Rep. Michele Bachmann, former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, businessman Herman Cain, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman on Sept. 12, some say she is only confusing her supporters.

Erick Erickson, said Palin is misleading her constituents.

"We are coming to the end of the line for Sarah Palin's ability to string the Republican primary voters along," Erickson wrote. "They are trying to settle on a candidate now, they've held out hope of her entry and

Why do people nitpick everything Sarah does? Why just her?

That's from her campaing speech for him when he was running against KayBaileyBush and Debra RonPaul Medina, right? When Perry needed her help with the Tea Party vote!

Try this one for size.

I thought she was going to endorse him: /s


Though she won’t be a candidate when she delivers a major address at a tea party rally in Iowa on Saturday, Sarah Palin will make it clear that she if enters the presidential race later this month she will vociferously challenge Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s engrained image of solidarity with the tea party movement.

In her speech at the bucolic National Balloon Classic field in Indianola, Palin will lean on loaded phrases like “crony capitalism” and “permanent political class” in laying out her view of the U.S. political system’s deep-rooted ills, according to a source close to Palin and familiar with the content of the speech.

Though she will not call Perry out by name, Palin’s carefully couched rhetoric will leave the impression that she may soon draw more overt attention to one of the Texan’s potential vulnerabilities as a candidate: his history of doling out plum positions and other benefits to generous campaign donors during his nearly 11-year tenure as the nation’s longest serving governor.

“Rumors like these are like traps set to make Palin appear indecisive. They seem to be deliberate attempts to discredit her.”

Ah, so now the Christian Post is out to get her. Makes sense.

In any case, I would assume that the first to know and report on her status for this debate will be CNN.

See ya! I guess the ring in your nose is not removable. Why do all you complainers believe the press? Have you ever given thought that Sarah is the one you want to listen to?

COD tried to insert the selling of her book into a preplanned MEGA TEA PARTY EVENT starring SARAH PALIN and Palin’s staff was somehow supposed to handle it when in fact they were not told about it?

It was all this Crow’ guy’s doing! Crow the Perry supporter.

SARAH PALIN NEVER MADE ONE COMMENT. Crow had to dig himself out of that one.

It's not even Labor Day and she never promised you or any of her supporters a traditional campaign.

She's not running a campaign. That is the problem. The war is on and she is AWOL. The guns are now pointed at Perry and it is time we pro-life, pro-gun, pro states rights conservatives pick a candidate and start firing our shells at the real enemy.

Right now the Palin guns are all pointed in Perry's direction. She could stop it, but she hasn't bothered. She is acting very indecisive and very un-Presidential. She needs to step up to the plate, or hand the bat to someone who is willing to stand in the box and take the high inside fast balls.

I do for one reason--she does not actively squelch these rumors as soon as they hit. She allows them to gain traction for way to long before saying anything.

You think she should be issuing denials over something an unknown publication puts out while it's still nighttime in Alaska?

Note how no other media source is running with this rumor. Why even acknowledge it?

Some get "disappointed" by her responding to every little thing but just as many get "disappointed" when she ignores the ignorable. I think the real problem is just that some people want to find a reason to be disappointed.

In her RNC speech exactly three years ago tomorrow, Governor Palin predicted that Obama’s policies, in enacted, would have the precise effect they’ve had:

…Government is too big … he wants to grow it.

Congress spends too much … he promises more.

Taxes are too high … he wants to raise them. His tax increases are the fine print in his economic plan, and let me be specific.

The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes … raise payroll taxes … raise investment income taxes … raise the death tax … raise business taxes … and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars. My sister Heather and her husband have just built a service station that’s now opened for business — like millions of others who run small businesses.

How are they going to be any better off if taxes go up? Or maybe you’re trying to keep your job at a plant in Michigan or Ohio … or create jobs with clean coal from Pennsylvania or West Virginia … or keep a small farm in the family right here in Minnesota.

How are you going to be better off if our opponent adds a massive tax burden to the American economy?

The war is on? LOL.

Says who? The news media?

Sarah Palin has been the only one all along calling out the Marxist and he’s responded to HER!

Enjoy your media horse race.

I’m solidly with Sarah.

Thanks for your prior support.

At this point Palin is looking very indecisive and is looking very un-Presidential. She is fueling dissension among her most ardent supporters, of which I was one until recently.

Me three.

I supported her for a LONG time. However now, if she got the nomination (she won't) I'd vote for her, but I like you won't support her in the nomination process.

It's not only Palin's actions that have put me off to her, but the actions of her supporters here on FR as well. Not all, but a significant portion of them come off as intellectually and emotionally retarded.

As the other poster I pinged points out, supporters of other candidates don't engage in this type of nonsense to anywhere near the degree as Palin supporters do.

They make you not want to be counted among them.

Early yet

Remember how Hillary had it sewed up EARLY

And as far as taking the inside fast balls NO politician has had as much pressure put on them or their family from the MSM etc than she has and she is still standing

That’s the figure that makes no sense at all.

BOGUS.

What really irked me is what happened with Christine O'Donnell. Reeked of someone being thrown under the bus and catty diva syndrome

Palin had nothing to do with it. Neither did her staff. Find a named, direct quote. The ONLY thing that you'll find is Crows name. And he's a Perry supporter.

"I've given Palin pass after pass. At some point, I get tired of all this."

You poor dear. This must be so hard on you. At least we know now where our focus should be. This isn't about Palin, or even the future of America. It's all about you, huh?

Rest easy, enmartyred lamb. We will help carry your burden.

Do you actually enjoy being manipulated? You do realize you have no factual basis for believing this rumor over any other, except that believing it allows you to do what you really want to do, and that is to use whatever cudgel you can against Sarah, even if it was fabricated for you by master manipulators, perhaps even Rove and company. Is that really a satisfying way to live?

"...willing to stand in the box and take the high inside fast balls."

High-inside fastballs? How about the Louisville Slugger Palin has taken to the head for the past 3 years running, and still she stands and delivers on the Quisling Usurper daily? Are you sane? Rational? Just asking.

Obama halts controversial EPA regulation

Excerpt:

*snip*

Obama overruled the Environmental Protection Agency and directed administrator Lisa Jackson to withdraw the proposed regulation to reduce concentrations of smog’s main ingredient, in part because of the importance of reducing regulatory burdens and uncertainty for businesses at a time of rampant uncertainty about an unsteady economy.

The announcement came shortly after a new government report on private sector employment showed that businesses essentially added no new jobs last month — and that the jobless rate remained stuck at a historically high 9.1 percent.

The withdrawal of the proposed regulation marks the latest in a string of retreats ....
