How do you solve a problem like Sarah? Romney misses out in stand-off with loose cannon diva
The London Daily Mail ^ | July 16, 2012 | Daniel Bates

She is the Tea Party diva who lit up the 2008 Presidential campaign.

But four years later Mitt Romney is facing one of the most vexing questions of his campaign: what to do with Sarah Palin?

In an increasingly uncomfortable stand-off, he has not invited her to next month’s Republican national convention whilst she has failed to give him her full backing.

Palin has also not appeared with the Romney on the campaign trail and prefers to use her Facebook page to bash Barack Obama.

The result is that the Republican presidential candidate is left without the endorsement of a woman who can energise his base in a way he can only dream of.

The former Massachusetts governor - who is so emotionally cold friends reportedly call him ‘Tin Man’ - is facing nagging questions about how he can appeal to the Tea Party which still feels he is a left wing flip flopper.

Palin would fill that role but would constantly be in danger of going rogue - and not sticking to the carefully crafted scripts....

Yeah, I saw your tagline. Maybe YOUR principals aren’t worth a bucket of warm spit but mine are.

Just to clarify, I take MY principles very seriously. I composed that tagline to demonstrate to a growing number of Romney sycophants here on FR what THEY seem to believe.

I'm fed up with having to defend MY choice NOT to support the gay-marriage supporting, abortion defending, gun controlling "Inventor of Obamacare".

If this election swings on my single, solitary vote, we're in a lot worse trouble than we ALL can imagine.

Yammers had to be sparring for an audience elsewhere, imho.

Well; considering Mitt's 'speech' to the NAACP...

You are welcome!

WhaT We are seeing right now is the PRE-flood of RMNEY (thinly veiled MORMON) supporters attempting to BURY us Christians in rhetoric on FR and other outlets.

Just like gaming Google® to get yer stuff on top.

Sorry I misunderstood your meaning. I won’t vote for the a**hole either. The only real difference between him and Zero is the color of their skin and having noted that, I would absolutely HATE to be tagged as racist by voting for one or the other.
This country is going down. No amount of votes can stop that. If Mitt wins he’ll get the blame, otherwise Obama will take the fall. Regardless of which one is in the oval office, America will lose. All we can do is stand by our principles and pray for the best while preparing for the worst.
Good luck!

Heck; someone can Tag ME anything they want! Racist, bigot, goat lover.

Just as long as they have some EVIDENCE to back it up.

Otherwise they are mere accusers; useless in the world of TRUTH.

If our aim is to remove the communist/socialist/marxist/revolutionary/sharia law loving thug in OUR White House, we must focus on the two candidates running for Presidential office: that is oboma and Romney. Romney has the electoral votes, he is the official candidate for the right, be he less than Conservative or not (we do NOT have time to agree on a
Conservative candidate, we must go with what we do have.)

Stay focused: ROMNEY IS NOT a socialist/communist/marxist/revolutionary/sharia law loving thug. ROMNEY DOES NOT hate this country.

OBOMA IS a socialist/communist/marxist/revolutionary/sharia law loving thug. OBOMA DOES HATE THIS COUNTRY.

We have big fish to fry here...can't be worried about gay couples at this time. Focus on what is immediately important to our freedom and liberty..that is obomacare, and every damn transgression obozo has made against the Constitution, every law and mandate obozo has shoved down our throats, just to name a few of the wrongs that must be made right. Remember, we must NOT dilute the vote. obozo must be voted OUT in November, or it is all over for us as a free people..we will lose our freedoms. Period.

We must turn out in mega numbers at the polls, make sure our family and friends, neighbors, are registered to vote, have transportation to the polls, volunteer their services at the polls and protect the vote, and they must fully understand that this IS a do or die vote for this country in November. Voting for Romney is the first step. We will then have the time to agree upon a conservative candidate to run in the NEXT election. If we do not remove obozo in November, there will be NO further opportunity to do any of the above. Period.

Granted, as Rush and Mark Levin have been saying, Romney needs to get tough with the socialist Chicago thug in the White House, and hit hard first against obozo and his lies. His campaign strategy needs tightening up...and the likes of Carl Rove have to shut the hell up with his “we don't want to say anything that would insult the first black president” etc., when in fact Romney has to come out hard hitting and on the offense.

Keep riding Romney's behind...that will be OUR job and we must keep at it.

Remember, if you dilute the vote, or if you decide not to vote, you WILL be voting for oboma.

See you at the polls, and pass it on.

Absolutely disagree, itssme. It's the social issues that reveal the heart of the man.

Those willing to violate the natural order, those willing to sacrifice young lives, they are the ones who should not be trusted.

They will violate anything. If they will compromise that, then they will compromise anything.

Agree with you. Call me anything you want..sticks and stones can break my bones, but names can never hurt me. Calling someone names is a typical Saul Alinsky, socialist 101 ploy to throw you off, to scare you, to make you cower. The hell with names...concentrate on what will hurt you and me...and that is, IF obozo wins in November, we will lose OUR FREEDOM AND LIBERTY, AND AMERICA WILL BE LOST.

Elect candidate Romney who has the electoral votes, do NOT dilute the vote. Then ride his behind and make sure he hears the word of We The People. Monitoring Romney will be OUR job to do. And then we can choose a Conservative to run in the 2016 election.

Again, step one, remove obozo from office and elect Romney, the man with the electoral votes.

Step two, keep on monitoring Romney and call, email, fax, Facebook him when you disagree with his policies.

Step three, we then work together and choose a Conservative to run in the 2016 elections.

Remember, OBOZO IS A socialist/communist/marxist/revolutionary/sharia loving thug. OBOZO HATES THIS COUNTRY.

Romney is NONE OF THE ABOVE.

Again, remove the commie in OUR White House, elect Romney who is not a commie, monitor his decisions, and work together to agree upon a Conservative to run in the 2016 elections. One of many steps to return this country to the Constitution, freedom and liberty.

Failure to do the above will bring down the death knell on America and our freedoms and liberty. Patriots, we must come together and understand the strategy...and we must win this WAR.

Irish Eyes, this same group of FReepers who constantly trash Romney, who refuse to see the strategy of electing Romney in the here and now, in Realville as Rush Limbaugh refers to it, who are frozen in a sea of righteousness, and are blinded by a lack of common sense.

All we can do is pray that they will see the light. We The People, patriots all, will have to win this WAR without them.

We have free will to make choices. I choose to save myself, my family, this country from communist domination by voting for the candidate who is NOT a communist/marxist/socialist/revolutionary/sharia loving thug. And that candidate would be Romney, the candidate who has the electoral votes, and who IS NOT, and I repeat, IS NOT a card-carrying socialist/marxist/etc.

God helps those who help themselves. Either you understand the strategy of what we must do to rid ourselves of the clear and present danger that IS obozo, or you don't. Either you make up your mind to have the fire in your belly to fight this menace and join forces with We The People, patriots all, or you can continue to make excuses for why you won't. Soldiers of wars past didn't stand around and dissect the pros and cons of saving their lives and winning the war. They joined forces with each other, they fought the enemy AND they WON the war.
