I thought the word was that she was going to make an important address. That could just mean she is going to talk about some serious issues, not necessarily that she is going to make an announcement. Her statements on the issues are very important as well.

I’ve already put a couple notorious thumpers on notice that if they’ve not already been zotted before hand, the day she announces and they’re continuing to trash her, they get the zot. Guaranfreepingteed!

Are you big footing me DJ? Can you do that? Can I do that back? I get “trashed” in the real sense of the word, and my candidate gets “trashed”, in the real sense of the word, all the time. My head just exploded. It never occurred to me that I could whine against you, or that I too could bully some one. Can I? Can I suck up somewhere for “zotting” privileges? Zot? What the heck is that? No one told me I could threaten others with this zotting business. Thought we were all on the same side and that it was in every sense of the word, FREE Republic for blood red conservatives. I’m sure no threat to you or the Republic. Is there a nanny somewhere I too can call when I don’t like what is said on Perry threads. Never heard of such a thing. I wanna be able to talk to the nanny too.
If what you say is remotely a possibility, why aren’t their thread rules that require posting limitations to only the like minded choir? You know, with no debate. That would be simple enough. I’m lost.
PS. I don’t think I have EVER said anything against Sarah Palin that was ever personal, or that I couldn’t ask her about and she would answer. I opine on what I see as the facts on the ground that speak for themselves, loud and clear.
Get a grip. Talk issues and there’s not a problem. And I don’t even know who “your” candidate is. I don’t troll other candidates threads.
I’d like to get a grip. Trust me, I’d really like to get a grip. By what authority do you have to send me that snarky threat that does nothing if not swing your weight around on this site. Saying with impunity that you have connections and I don’t.
Besides, you didn’t answer the challenge. Can I zot you back? Chest bump back? I want to be able to zot back. How do I get that done?
The Republican Convention (presuming she runs as a Republican) is TWELVE MONTHS AWAY. The election (presuming she runs as an independent) is FIFTEEN MONTHS AWAY.
There is plenty of time for the gang of fools and idiots currently in the picture to self-destruct. The whole "exploring", "thinking about announcing", "announcing the announcement", "announcing" is the enemy's game.
Obviously, if you believe Perry is going to stand up to scrutiny, your view may be different.
Sarah Palin does not have to "announce" before May or June, 2012.
The freakin' election isn't for FIFTEEN MONTHS.
What's the rush?
I would take the fuss a lot more seriously if people weren’t still trying to get Christie in.
Your snarky post 6 about Mrs Palin triggered my repost by the OWNER of this site. Stop trolling and there won’t be a problem. “ <<<
Thank you for your reply.
So, if you determine that my opinion is snarky and I determine that your threat is pretty darn snarky, I can’t get zotting privileges (which means WHAT, I still don’t know) against you? I am thinking of zotting you and whining against the “trolls” on my candidates threads. I thought “trolls” were Lefties messing with us on this site. I never dreamed it meant me. Wow. So, I want the OWNER, as you say to be able to help me out too like you get to do. How do I get that done? You never answer the question.
You post snark and someone will tell the owner of the site. Simple as that.
It’s safest just to stay off the Palin threads. Just mark them Caucus and be done with it.
The freakin’ primaries start in FIVE MONTHS!! That’s the issue.
You post snark and someone will tell the owner of the site. Simple as that. “ <<<
Wow. Like what you did to me? Did the owner know you use him to to fan me— and that snark, as you say, is actually “trashing”, like he said? Is that okay with him? I’m confused. Well, anyway, I’m beholding to you for the warning about your thin skin. Are you able to be an activist in this condition, for real? I think I need a shower now. It’s all quite a revelation. Certainly a wake up call for free speech zealots like me.
Noticed you called in Onyz and Trisham. Do they help tattle? What IS the deal here? This should be spelled out in spades in posting privileges. It would solve a lot of your problems. It also explains why so many on here really hold back and have to use Gerber Baby terms with Palin posters. Unbelievable. But, hey, it’s your conscience.
If you are expecting Palin to play the elites game you’ll be surprised. Or disappointed. If she enters, she will do what she needs to do on her terms. And since she has received death threats etc I imagine she is weighing this VERY carefully.
Have a nice day.
Got it.
***********************
I believe it's considered common courtesy here to ping someone when one is defaming them.
It’s not playing the “elites game”. It’s laying the foundation for a serious Presidential run.
I get that she’s received death threats. Almost everyone in the public eye has received death threats. It comes with the territory.
Serious presidential candidates make up their minds. That shows leadership. Serious presidential candidates participate in primary debates. To fail to do so makes it look like a candidate is afraid of something. Serious presidential candidates hire staff and start fundraising in advance of filing deadlines and get themselves on the ballot in primary states. The Florida primary could be as early as January 31. That doesn’t leave much time to build momentum and more importantly, overcome her very serious negatives.
Outside the echo chamber of FR she’s just not that popular. She has the conservatism and optimism of Ronald Reagan but she doesn’t have the polished delivery of a long time actor and spokesman and she doesn’t have the bank of goodwill he had. The Left absolutely despises her and the middle doesn’t respect her. And like it or not, we need part of the middle to get rid of Zero.
She needs to enter the race and start to change people’s minds. She’s not going to be able to do that if she only leaves a few months, most of which will contain the distraction of the holidays when people are more focused on family than politics.
This isn’t directed at you, DJ, but to whom it may concern: Don’t bother attacking me, calling me a troll and accusing me of false concern. I like Cain but if he doesn’t gain traction I will pick another candidate. It still could be Palin. I am concerned and the more ugliness I see from her supporters around here the less likely I will be to support her in the end. So don’t bother responding if all you’re going to do is attack me, you’re just turning more and more people off. If you want to respond, stick to the issues. TIA!
Now who the heck are you? I didn’t defame you. I have to know you to defame you. I posted that DJ person’s snark to me. She included you in her heading. Why in the world did she ping you in the first place. I asked her who you were, since she seem to be alerting the entire thread that she could use you to finger point at me. Ask her about defamation. This colloque we’re having here is about tattling. I don’t, and others do. I am considering learning how to do it. DJ is teaching me. Now, see there, I included onyx...whom I do not know and have never defamed either. Thank you for reminding me to do so.

Who am I? I'm the person that you spoke about in a defamatory way, and then spoke rudely to.
I'm one of the people that you owe an apology.
