No one showed up for her speech today.
I’m not denying she had supporters last November, or now for that matter.
She just didn’t have nearly as many as 0bama had.
60 million people came out to vote for her. That’s fewer than Bush got 4 years earlier. Hell, that’s fewer than Kerry got 4 years earlier. But 0bama got 70 million people to come out and vote for him.
There just aren’t enough people out there willing to support Palin to beat 0bama.
The first step to recovering from a loss is accepting defeat. Many FReepers aren’t yet ready to move on from 2008, which is why they still cling to Palin. But it is a destructive relationship. She’s no good for us, and we are no good for her.
We need to move on and find someone new to champion as the leader of the GOP. Right now, as you may have noticed, the Republican party is leaderless. That implies Sarah Palin is not the leader. So let’s cut bait and find one.
Are you drunk? McCain ran against Obama, not Palin. The only time I've seen such illogic on this forum is when the Romney supporters tried to spin his liberal past. You wouldn't be one of them now, would you?
Sarah wasn’t running last November. John McCain was. I know a lot of folks here convinced themselves they were putting Sarah Palin in the White House, but Johnny Boy the Leftard was ready to move in. Not Sarah...
So Sarah didn’t lose a straight up fight with Obama. Let me tell you something, McCain benefited from Sarah by ten to twenty points. That quack could have been looking at 35% or worse real easy. We didn’t want him. The left didn’t want him. Who besides a few deluded RINOs championed that loser?
I didn’t vote for a presidential candidate in November 2008. It was the first time in my 34 years of voting. That’s why the McCain/Palin ticket didn’t get as many votes as Bush. Many of us refused to swallow a Soros lovin’ pimp daddy as our candidate.
Obama is going to force this nation’s citizens to vote for someone else. There’s not really going to be any choice, but the time 2012 rolls around. He will have scared the —— out of many people who voted for him. He will have pi—ed off many of the others. He’s a moron.
Our goal is to get someone in there, that will undo what he has done. I have already said, day one I’d be penning more E.O.s than this nation has seen in the last fifty years. I would strike down almost everything this jackass did in four year, with 72 hours. What’s more, I’d tell folks I was going to do it up front. We’ll see what U.S. citizen really want, unlike picking between a Kruschev/Mosolini candidate and a George Soros clone/Obama rubber stamp from Arizona.
Yes, we do need to move on. Palin needs to go back to her family.
Do you realize that Palin was getting tens of thousands of people to show up at her events this spring? From what I’ve read, she is on fire.
Too bad that fire extinguisher fell on her head. (just figuratively folks)

1. No one showed up for her speech....?? Uh she did not have a lot of folks show up because it is a holiday weekend, there was not a lot of notice (as per FOX news), and it was held in Wasilla, AK?! Dunno if you have looked on a map, but it is not easy to get there from the Continential 48—over 3,500 miles from Chicago. I am sure if presser had been held at at Tea Party in Chicago or New York, thousands would have come. As I told you before, she did have support; was the life of the GOP ticket in last election.
2. Are you a grief crisis counselor? I am not grieving—not yet anyway. Thank you for the professional grief counseling, but I will move on when I am ready. I think everyone should give Palin space to contemplate her future—not pressure or write her off.
3. I am curious why you are in such a hurry to dismiss her/write her off? Since there are no other leaders, why not let her call the the ball on HER next play instead of calling it for her?
Oh, you must not be paying attention. Palin’s the leader of the GOP if she wants to be. She’s drawing 20k in upstate NY now, after the election. Today, Bush could do that, maybe, anyone else? Would 20k go to a Steele speech? 10k for anyone? 5k?
Palin is the most popular Republican right now, no doubt about it.
After a day like that. to see you on here spewing out your anti Palin BS propaganda. I truly want to call you what you are. but I would be banned...
BLAH,BLAH,BLAH,BLAH.....etc.,etc.
Same crap in every one of your postings. You’re really trying hard to shoot her down but son, it ain’t working.
Kerry did NOT get 60 milliom ion 2004 he got a shade over 59 million votes. Voter turn out this time was pushed hard by the likes of ACORN on the dem side ( that and they hadn’t haad the WH for 8 yrs). The GRepub side was diminished due to lack of enthusiasm for McCain. The most likely reason that McCain got as much as he did was due to the motivation of the bas by Palin.
2012 will not look like 2008 at election time. YOU have NO idea of how many people will be willing to support Palin in 2012 IF she is the candidate. Don’t pretend you have a crystal ball or are some time traveller. The reason no one showed up for her speech today except local press is because SHE arranged it that way.
You certainly are not a policy wonk or expert anything re:politics or campaigns. So cool your jets and your attitude
It is curious that you compare the GOP VP candidate against the Democrat presidential candidate. If you were intellectually honest, you would have stated, 60 million people came out to vote for McCain but Obama got 70 million people to come out and vote for him.
There just aren’t enough people out there willing to support Palin to beat 0bama.
What are you basing that statement on? What makes you so sure that Obama will even be the Democrat’s candidate? If Obama continues at the same pace and in the same direction, he just might destruct from self inflicted wounds.

Surely you haven’t been so blind as to not see that Palin has been attacked by members of the GOP along with the Socialists. They have engaged not in political attacks but have engaged in character assassination, not only of SP but her family members as well. These attacks have lasted many months past the election and continue to this day. Can you name any personal assassination attacks against McCain after the election? Can you?
Why do you suppose that is? The Socialists do it out of fear. They fear her because she is not part of the incestuous Washington establishment that can easily be rolled. She doesn’t owe favors to the establishment movers and shakers. Palin speaks on behalf of the dwindling mainstream America and the Socialists are afraid that she can and will open people’s eyes in time to stop or stall the downfall of America. The Socialists fear Palin not so much as a candidate but a movement, a movement that will transcend both major political parties.
You say a need exists to find someone new to champion as the leader of the GOP. The GOP is not only leaderless, it is clueless as well. As inarticulate as George W. Bush was, at least his point could be understood eventually, which is not the case for the GOP. The GOP has no agenda or mission statement to justify their existence.
The Republican attack dogs running with the Dems fear Palin as well. They detect the smell of death, the death of their party and fear that Palin could administer the coup de grace. She has the ability to rally the conservatives, Independents, patriotic liberals and lead a Conservative movement and to hell with the Republicans and Democrats. The question remains as to whether she will or not. If not, then at least I’ll have memories of one American mother who for a brief moment in history put the fear of God in the hearts of the most powerful political cabal in history.
So, on this 4th of July, I say God Bless America and God Bless Sarah Palin.
