Daughter: Sarah Palin "Definitely Knows" If She Is Running Or Not

Real Clear Politics ^ | June 28, 2011

[Hojczyk]

Bristol Palin tells "FOX & Friends" that her mother, former Gov. Sarah Palin, has made up her mind and "definitely" knows if she is going to run for President or not.

BRIAN KILMEADE, FOX & FRIENDS: "Do you get the sense that your mom has not made up her mind yet or do you think she knows and hasn't told told?"

[Polybius]

The only issue I hear from people is that they don't like that she quit being Governor before her time was up. I don't know how to respond to that. ... Puppage

This horse has been beat to death! You respond by reading her book, wherein she explains it. Botton line - she was putting her State ahead of herself in that decision. ..... JaguarXKE

That's right, Puppage.

Sometimes, you have to do the right thing. Sometimes, you have to put your duty to your State ahead of yourself.

And sometimes .....

If that allows you to start hauling in the BIG BUCKS with $100,000 per pop speeches and with Reality TV shows ......

Well, what I can say?

Sometimes you just have to suck it up and make the sacrifice.

April 15, 2010 ... Sarah Palin income 12 million dollars since leaving office

Now, getting back to seriousness:

Did Bill Clinton quit?

No, he stuck it out and his legal issues paled in comparison to Palin's

So, what lesson did Sarah Palin teach the filers of nuisance lawsuits?

"If you want to get rid of a Governor of Alaska that you do not like, BLACKMAIL WORKS!"

Why do the Somali pirates now avoid U.S. ships and Russian ships?

Because the U.S. and Russia have shown the pirates that they do not give in to blackmail.

Why are all other ships fair game for the Somali pirates?

Because other nations surrender to blackmail. .... Like Sarah Palin surrendered to blackmail.

Those who believe that Sarah Palin can do no wrong will make excuses that it was noble for Sarah Palin to surrender to blackmail instead of drawing a line in the sand and stating: "The Governor of Alaska does NOT run away when faced with blackmail. Not now. Not EVER!"

Sarah Palin took the easy way out because is was more painful to fight and because she wanted to cash in on the millions of dollars that were out there for her taking before her fame grew dim while governing instead of starring in Reality TV shows and grabbing headlines with $100,000 per pop speeches.

In the end, the lure of millions of dollars of personal wealth was a lot more attractive to Sarah Palin than the admitedly hard sacrifice of standing and fighting off every single last blackmailer.

It is a lot easier and vastly more profitable to make millions of dollars starring in silly Reality TV shows, camping with tabloid queen Kate Gosselin, than to stand up against the blackmailers of the Office of the Governor of the State of Alaska.

Life Tip Number 788: "Excuses are like belly buttons. Everybody has one."

Bristol was crucified in the media - and how manipulative of you to say her son will read her book - and ignore the 2.5 years of trashing her he will read, also. And how his father was used like a lib pawn and how he spoke out against his own grandmother. Good job Bristol of getting the truth out. And, you, Polybius fail in your attempt.

So all trashing to say your candidate is Perry. If your post is indicative of his voting base - he’s scratched out from a list he’s not on yet. So thanks! Did you or your loved one get your required shot yet from big gov’t Perry, yet? BTW, Perry got Sarah’s support because he asked for it like she did with any candidate who asked.

So what?

[JaguarXKE]

So you’re against capitalism. Ok, that’s fine.

[Immerito]

Scripture is placed in a specific context for a reason. I am not interested in discussing your attempts to change the subject, I am interested in discussing the gross distortion of Romans 8:31, which was not written to muse on the possibility of Sarah Palin’s presidential campaign.

Paul had a reason to include the verse where he did. Our task is not to clip the verse from its context and try to use it elsewhere, our task is to study the verse *in* context and glean *in context* applications from it.

"One can’t know truth about someone if they aren’t even truthful themselves."

That would not make sense even if it appeared in a bad Kung Fu script.

"As they say,deception begets deception"

Your whole complaint seems to be that I made comments about you rather than to you. The comments themselves would occupy the same public space regardless.

You seem to be confusing deception with disrespect.

Only the latter can be earned.

Congratulations!

No congrats to you on mind reading. You may need more than a nap, you haven't been right, yet.

“Her defenders like to say that she quit because of...”

The “because of...” part varies, as you’ve pointed out. But it’s not the important part.

She quit. It is a negative to most conservatives. No question. Nobody is perfect.

But knowing when your usefulness has expired and/or voluntarily quitting when you can no longer handle the job would not be such a bad trait in a politician.

Of course, it would be fairer to voters to warn them you might just up and quit half way through a term.

If she’d say “if I do as bad as Obama has done in MY first two years, I’ll quit”, I’d guess that she’d get MORE votes not less.

“Posts like yours at #36 embarrass Sarah Palin, Christians and conservatives alike.”

I’m a fan of all three. And I agree completely.

[presently no screen name]

Please explain that.

I have found you to be unteachable - you are driven by your agenda.

Pissants are to be walked on and not taught.

[BuddhaBrown]

“No ...”

Then please explain where I’ve been “deceptive”.

I can wait.

If some things "just need to stay in the family", shouldn't that be right at the top of the list?

Not when you are the national abstinence spokeswoman in America, you have to write your book, your story, for the young audience that you are delivering your abstinence and pro-life message to.

“your every pore oozes hatred...”

No, no, no. That’s just my new after-shave. It’s from Cloven Klein.

I can wait.

Good. Enjoy it.

[BuddhaBrown]

“Good. Enjoy it.”

Oh well, many of Wisdom’s triumph’s over ignorance are wins by default.

Where’s my knife? Time to carve another hash mark on the keyboard of Freedom.

[dforest]

I saw Bristol on FOX this morning. She did not look like the Bristol on DWTS.

I can’t decide if I like the plastic surgery or not.

[Servant of the Cross]

... many of Wisdom’s triumph’s over ignorance are wins by default.

Tis true. However, with this one (pnsn), the fail, while blatantly obvious to all, is vocally and vehemently denied. It reminds me of the Black Knight, a Python classic.

Cute, more blah, blah, blah from the servant. LOL! You found a someone to talk/listen - birds of a feather. LOL!

[Oztrich Boy]

, I can't keep up with every new article on every subject so you'll excuse me for missing this one

Good grief, it was in her announcement of her resignation as Governor.

That expression: retreating, or going to reload?

[gogeo]

why keep up the guessing if you are not running...

Why keep up on the PDS when no one listens anymore?
