How do you solve a problem like Sarah? Romney misses out in stand-off with loose cannon diva
The London Daily Mail ^ | July 16, 2012 | Daniel Bates

She is the Tea Party diva who lit up the 2008 Presidential campaign.

But four years later Mitt Romney is facing one of the most vexing questions of his campaign: what to do with Sarah Palin?

In an increasingly uncomfortable stand-off, he has not invited her to next month’s Republican national convention whilst she has failed to give him her full backing.

Palin has also not appeared with the Romney on the campaign trail and prefers to use her Facebook page to bash Barack Obama.

The result is that the Republican presidential candidate is left without the endorsement of a woman who can energise his base in a way he can only dream of.

The former Massachusetts governor - who is so emotionally cold friends reportedly call him ‘Tin Man’ - is facing nagging questions about how he can appeal to the Tea Party which still feels he is a left wing flip flopper.

Palin would fill that role but would constantly be in danger of going rogue - and not sticking to the carefully crafted scripts....

Stop trashing Romney

Romney trashed himself with his LIBERALISM and then wanting support from those who will NEVER vote for a liberal!

Obama and his little clan know more about him than anyone - and things his supporters refuse to know.

I will not participate in bringing evil on America!

Huzzah for you. What is your previous voting history?

I supported and voted for NEWT, America runs through his veins.

I was not afforded that choice. He had dropped out when the primaries came to Texas.

But voters didn't want a patriot who was the only one

Whatever. It was a bunch of little yankee liberal states made that choice.
Not me.

You betcha I made a choice - not to vote for evil.

Yeah. That matters in some primaries. Now you get to choose from the smaller menu.

NOW tell me what is your boy - who wants to lead America - BROUGHT TO AMERICA??

Now see, here is where you lose all coherency.

Romney ain't my boy. I'm a bigot who makes fun of his underpants.

We've been over this before, try to pay attention.
Opposition to Obama does not equal Romney support.

Now you go ahead and froth and spew and get all Pentecostal,
but the fact is we have a menu. If you refuse to order from it
then I really don't want to hear you crying bout what shows up at the table.

I agree. Her endorsement would make no difference. Those not voting for him would not change their minds if Palin endorsed him.

While the outlook is dim.
I still do not discount a large segment of the population.
While it will likely be a rough road ahead people will not tolerate chronic low employment and high taxes and strangling regulations and the lazy sponges soaking the system.
I believe what is going to pull us out of this mess is the gas/oil industry.
It may be another 4-16 years before things really start to improve but I think its gonna happen.

Wrong, according to you I have a pentecostal menu! I picked it up early in life to keep myself from eating poison.

I really don't want to hear you crying bout what shows up at the table.

What shows up?? Are you in suspense? There will be NO surprise - there is only two things on your deceptive menu - EVIL - but covered in a different sauce.

I heard some former Mormons relate on TV that each Mormon is striving to be ‘god’ of his own planet. [look it up]

Wanting to take ‘God’s” place? Wasn’t that what got the ‘devil’ thrown out of heaven to earth?

Isn’t that what the prophesy in the Bible says will happen in the last days? Someone will sit in charge claiming to be ‘God’? But no one reads the Bible anymore!

So what are YOU going to make happen, with all that fervor?

What effect will all your spewing have? What does it boil down to?

That you refuse to vote? Gotcha. Understood. Why all the fireworks?

You won’t vote for either, and therefor have no responsibility for the outcome.

Is that it? Say so. You must be dehydrated with all the spit you spray over this.

If he and his people were as smart as they think they are, the answer would be obvious: Pick her as running mate!! Can you imagine the first day's contributions?

Imagine Romney asking her and word got out that she turned him down, flat. That would do irreparable damage to his campaign. He indeed does have a dilemma on his hands. He has to come up with a way to at least neutralize her lack of a clear cut endorsement of his pitiful candidacy.

Sarah is in the catbirds seat right about now and the Romnney-oid knows it. I personally believe Sarah should not endorse Romney-oid short of saying something to the effect of, "well, if Mitt is the Republican candidate come November then I'll vote the Republican candidate in the race no matter who that is".

>"the fact is we have a menu."

Used to be it was a choice between a douche and a turd sandwich.

Now it's just a couple of douches.

Next selection it'll be between used douches.

The menu blows chunks!

Liberal story likely planted by Obama and Co. They love to stir the pot. Sarah is not running and will never run for another national office.

I suspect he was hoping for us to get the zot. Opposition to Romney is not a zottable offense.

It's because Myth is NOT a Republican! He's just another illuminati finger puppet!

That's what I've been saying since he showed up on the stage during the debates. He does NOT belong in our campaign or on the ticket. He is an imposter in the GOP and his record proved it - his accomplishments are NOT the GOP platform.

Santorum supported him and shouted loudly in '08 that mitt is a conservative and best for America. And mitt had four years to get the 'hungry politicians' on his side and for political favors and not to be castrated by the GOP, they succumbed one by one.

That is true except it is actually a universe (more than one planet). I don’t need to look it up, I LIVED it for many years until God opened my eyes and delivered me from that evil.

And you are correct, too many people do not read the Bible anymore.

I don’t like Mitt or his politics, but the fact of the matter is, Mitt is not as bad as the Marxist/Muslim usurper sob.
Nobody could be that bad.
This is the most important presidential election of our lifetime, and we MUST get Obama out of office before he finishes destroying America. THAT must be our number one goal.

Any vote cast for a third party candidate, any write-in, anyone staying home and refusing to vote is casting a vote for Obama.

Unfortunately, that’s just the way it is this time around, and there is nothing we can do about it.

I will vote in November- not for Romney, but against Obama.

  The Romney campaign trashed all of the conservative candidates both recently and in 2008. He won't pick anyone we like. It wont be Sarah Palin, Allen West, Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachman, Rick Perry, Fred Thompson or anyone even remotely conservative (not even Rudy Giuliani). Maybe it will be Tim Pawlenty, Robert Portman or someone equally boring who can pretend for at least a while to be conservative.

And what are you going to make happen with wondering what I am doing and will be doing. And your fervor against Sarah?

You must be dehydrated with all the spit you spray over this.

Thank you for your concern about my liquid intake but I must have a good aim and hit you good as there is no spit on this side.

I note, again, that you are incapable of answering the simplest questions.
