Palin: “Could I Support Somebody Like Mitt Romney? Yeah”…

Palin: “Could I Support Somebody Like Mitt Romney? Yeah”…

DES MOINES, Iowa — 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said Friday that she still hasn’t decided if she’s going to run for president. Palin is also undecided about whom she would endorse if she ultimately decided against entering the race.

Swarmed by media and supporters at the Iowa State Fair, the former governor of Alaska told The Daily Caller that she’s not concerned that Mitt Romney is considered the frontrunner at this time.

“No, nothing worries me at this point,” Palin told TheDC. “Could I support somebody like Mitt Romney? Yeah.”

When TheDC pointed out that some tea partiers have pledged to make sure Romney doesn’t get the nomination, Palin said, “I’m of the mind of ABO — Anybody But Obama, at this time.”

She supported McCain. You really think if Romney gets the nod, Bachmann won’t support him? Keep dreaming.

#15 gives an explanation. She would support the ‘pub candidate, even if romney. I wouldn’t.

somebody like Mitt Romney? Yeah.

Somebody LIKE Mitt Romney. Romney in theory is a Republican. So Sarah is saying, in theory she would support a Republican.

Sarah tweaks the media once again. And it would seem, that Sarah has also tweaked a few FR posters.

“Er, where did I post anywhere that Palin ENDORSED Romney or this comment means she would ENDORSE Romney? I didn’t. The original article I posted included the ABO - Anybody But Obama line.”

Er, just found it odd that you didn’t post what the “update” to this article said. That just seems like an odd thing to leave off considering the article’s title...don’t you think?

Just released: The long-awaited print edition of Mitt Romney’s Deception — His Stealth Promotion of “Gay Rights” and “Gay Marriage”in Massachusetts!
POSTED: July 20, 2011

MassResistance researcher Amy Contrada’s blockbuster book, Mitt Romney’s Deception is now available in print edition. (See ordering information below!)

It is the most complete coverage yet of Mitt Romney’s record on these issues, as well as an overall review of how “gay marriage” and the homosexual agenda in the schools came to Massachusetts — and ultimately to the rest of the country.
What most Americans probably don’t know about Mitt Romney

The Mitt Romney who is introducing himself to voters on television and in early Republican primary states is a well-scrubbed version of the man who governed Massachusetts for four years. Mitt Romney’s Deception reveals what the former Massachusetts Governor actually did regarding the important social issues of the day — and sounds a warning as to what he would likely do as President of the United States.

Amy Contrada

Contrary to Gov. Romney’s claim that he defended marriage, the Constitution, traditional values, and religious freedom, he actually undermined them.

Contrada’s research will prove invaluable in assessing Mitt Romney as a Presidential candidate. Focusing on the issue of “gay rights,” Contrada documents his largely untold history as Governor.

During those years (2003-2006), Romney:

* Worked closely with homosexual activists and pro-gay rights advisors
* Implemented “gay marriage,” violating the Massachusetts Constitution
* Pushed a constitutional amendment strategy doomed to failure, and ignored the call to remove the “gay marriage” judges
* Funded and promoted GLBT indoctrination in the public schools through his Governor’s Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, and his Department of Education “Safe Schools” programs
* Undermined religious freedom, failing to defend Catholic Charities in the “homosexual adoptions” fiasco
* Continued or implemented radical GLBT programs in his executive departments

I understand where you are coming from, but I’ll actively vote against anyone who’ll work with the liberals to continue pressing their agenda. I’d rather lose the White House than put Willard there. Blasphemy I know, but he can do far more harm than Present Obama who hates this work thing.

Seems like certain people here are capable of imagining any flimsy excuse to disregard the only (potential) candidate who truly holds Tea Party values and would act accordingly if elected.

OK wow, you’re really parsing words there....ABO is a much better explanation. Amy Kremer with Tea Party Express basically said the same thing - that TPE would support Romney if he got the nomination.

Well I already said today that if Palin uses her Sept. 3rd TP speech to endorse Perry, I’m done with her. And if Romney gets the nod, I simply will not fall into the ABO camp like her.

Good grief, are some of you folks already falling into the media’s trap? I would expect more from FREEPERS!

There is a surprising number of FReepers who:

a. Can't be bothered to read an entire news article

b. And automatically accept the accuracy of MSM headlines without question -- especially if they accuse a Republican of some egregious act.

Don't ask why...

(Can we keep our attacks focused on the real enemy: Obama)

This is your tagline, but you don't seem to follow your own advice. It happens also to be the sentiment expressed by Sarah Palin.

Whether you intentionally ignored her correction - that she did not endorse Romney - or were not aware of it, the fact is that she clearly stated that she does not endorse him.

If Obama gets reelected, he would put more Marxists on the SC which would 6-3 or 5-4 the country into socialist oblivion. As bad as Romney would be as prez, he would not nominate radical left-wingers to the court.

I’m sorry but I see nothing offensive in what was posted. Certainly no reason to go to Jim and the Mods. Basically what Palin said is anyone but Obama in 2012. Surely Free Republic would agree with that? I certainly do not want to see Mitt Romney as the nominee but if we’re stuck with him like we were with McCain in 2008 I’ll hold my nose and vote for him. All Palin was saying is she would do the same.

HE CAN'T BE TRUSTED AND WILL SAY OR DO ANYTHING TO GAIN ELECTIVE OFFICE.

He ought to smarten up and stick to raping small time investors before he gets hurt.

Governor Palin is more politically savy than to piss off a block of voters she may eventually need.

Regardless of whether or not she gets in, I really don't see her endorsing anyone in the primary.
