You believe polls??!? I can’t understand all these people like you saying that Palin has all these “negatives”. I realize the entrenched political class hate her.

What polls?

What were the questions?

How many people asked?

Were they likely voters? Did they vote in the last presidential election?

How many Rs and how many Ds in the poll?

What areas of the country?

Pretty much the only potential candidate that I feel like voting for at this time...

I think she gets it, but does she have what it takes to get it done or is she too soft?

Is Palin waiting to see if Perry fails before getting in? There isn’t much time. A conservative must defeat Romney.

There isn't much time? The elections are over a year from now. Reagan didn't announce until November. She's said she'll announce by the end of September, from what I read on FR. Not much time??

Please answer this question. Why are so many trying to horn in on Madam Ruby’s fortune telling business? Why can’t you and others just cruise along for the ride she has mapped out for herself? She is driving her own bus and she can take it any darn place she wants to go.

If she jumps in, great for us, it she doesn’t, great for her. We’ll just have to adapt and overcome with what is left. Not like any of us has had to do that before.

There’s only one thing I’m sure of. SP will definitely “polarize” and “pulverize” the Permanent Political Class. You Betcha!

And those hired by them don't like her either. They like their salaries and perks. Ha ha ha!

Didn’t say it was a good idea...just might be what she’s contemplating.

Actually you said that in your opinion that what she was going to do.

It's not only a bad idea, I would put her in the Ron Paul category if she does it. This would be completely destructive not only to the Conservative cause, but to the United States she claims to love. It will only ensure that Obama can win with a 42% plurality. In fact, Obama could conceivably win all 57 states.

Palin supporters make up 30% of the US population. All she need is 21% of the confused

This is essentially the same platform she used to win the Alaskan governorship and she delivered by kicking ass and taking names of corrupt republicans as well as democrats. That’s what drove her popularity.

Bingo. Sarah is essentially consistent in policy and values. This is nothing new, it's just new that the Slime mentions it truthfully.

It's also the same old policy that cost her the support of any RINO, inside the beltway, crony, ruling class, GOP scumbag, and the reason they sabotaged her at every turn.

Sarah remains consistent, but now knows who her enemies are, that's what's new.

GREAT ANALOGY. Sarah is so right on this subject, if she don’t run, I sure wish one of the other’s would borrow some of her backbone, speak TRUTH, and be not afraid. America is ready for this NOW.

President Reagan ran with George H. W. Bush, the biggest elitist in the last 100 years. Explain.

If I am not mistaken, Ron Paul did not go third party, and graciously bowed out when he did not get the nomination...Therefore, I don’t understand what you mean.

Bush didn't come out bashing the establishment. He was it. He was the one bashing Reagan.

Can you be against the establishment and support his Presidential election and Senate campaign? Then start over again bashing the establishment?

The negatives are constructs of the MSM.

Don’t discount the Hand of God (I know, I’m A Palin Cultist)

I’m a weirdo into this “We the People” freak concept.

Unfortunately, Palin opponents make up 60% of the US population...

His chances were DEAD before he goofed up to pick her. If it hadn’t been for his blunders, she could have carried him to 1600. She saw the opportunity to bring her message out of Alaska and siezed the open door while it was there.

20/20 hindsight here?

Most still had not grasped the concept it was really us against the elite establishment and not an R and D thing at that time. She knew the only reasonable way to do for the country, what she had accomplished in Alaska, was to get the boost to national attention, which she did. When the elites finally realized what they had done, they threw away the election to avoid helping her to rise to a place where their SNAFU existence would have been in joepardy.

“3) Corporations survey jobs in your area and since they get together and agree not to pay more for a job, the salary does not go up”

Between 1996-2001, it was an absolute sellers marker. Employees were surveying jobs in their area and getting raises by moving to new jobs.

It fueled massive income jumps in some sectors.

Now, we are in a buyers market. “corporations” are not secretly meeting at some free mason club deciding pay rates. They are paying market rates.

And those rates are falling because it is a buyer’s market.

Anyone who says “corporations” get together has never been around a corporation, beyond their own personal sub s.
