I was disappointed at first but I agree with you after I thought it through.

"a continued ability to wield significant influence, particularly in Senate and House primary races,"

There is the money shot. It is IMPERATIVE we win both houses, including ousting as many RINO incumbents as we can muster.

After having my butt handed to me in the primary's 3 times, I was going to wait and see. I thought I would not know what I was going to do prior to election day......until Romney shocked the cr@p out of me and chose Ryan.

If Ryan can't shove Romney to the right (I believe he has a good shot), then both houses will. If we have Ryan AND both houses we can most CERTAINLY shove Romney to the right.

He may not like it but tough noogies.

As Rush said "there is one of US on the ticket". When Palin ran in 2008, there wasn't really an US yet...we were just establishing ourselves.

2010 was a swift kick in the jack-a$$....and we were pretty new. We have now had an additional 2 years to "hone".

The moment the words "anyone but Obama" escaped her lips, the GOP(e) no longer had need of her

As you might recall, every candidate and talking head said exactly the same thing. I figured then this election was a hoax.

She most certainly did not. She said you could see Russia from a part of land in Alaska (not verbatim).

Which by the way, while watching State Troopers in Alaska, one episode was filmed from that island. THEY as well said, on a clear day you could see Russia.

Romney: Ryan and I are on the same page with our budgets

I guess you missed the interview where Romney said he would be in charge and he has his own budget posted on his web page.

She did a fine job of destroying herself with that Couric interview. She actually cited that she could almost see Russia from her house when asked about foreign policy credentials. You and I both know she isn’t stupid, but first impressions are nearly impossible to overcome, that was the first most people saw of her, and that was perhaps the worst response to a question ever.

You're confusing Saturday Night Live with reality.

"Palin needs to disappear and allow Romney/Ryan to move forward without her baggage from 2008."

You mean all that "baggage" she brought with her to kick jack-a$$ butt in 2010?

"a continued ability to wield significant influence, particularly in Senate and House primary races,"

Is THAT the "baggage" you're speaking of?

Sarah is RINO hunting. Sarah is out building TEA Party members in Congress that can challenge the current RINO leadership (Boehner, Cantor, McConnell). Destroying as many RINOs as possible is necessary to getting things turned around.

Itsahoot responses:I guess you missed the interview where Romney said he would be in charge and he has his own budget posted on his web page.

MNJohnnie, based on Romney's verifiable history of flip-flops, why would you believe anything he says? Notice that he couldn't seem to stay on point for even 24 hours.

A political strategy question here: Why when Romney is claimed to be such an economic guru does he bring on another economic specialist to the ticket? Particularly, one whose political philosophy is so far from Romney's?

I'm not going to get my knickers in a twist if Sarah doesn't speak at the convention. Most folks, Republicans included, won't be watching, so they won't even notice, unless they read it in the newspapers or see it on the TV news.

Sarah will be out in the country doing the important work of helping elect more conservative members of Congress, and they WILL remember her help along the way.

First off, Sarah NEVER SAID she could see Russia from her house. THAT was said during the Saturday Night Live routine by the actress PLAYING Sarah.

What Sarah actually said was that she was WELL aware of the importance of Foreign Policy, because she could see Russia from her STATE, which is absolutely TRUE. As Governor, she was in charge of the National Guard contingency in her state, which would constitute the first respone to any incursion by the Russians, which incidentally has happened a couple of times, in recent years.

It's interesting that any other politician can have a crappy interview, and it's forgotten in a week or two, but this charge is still dragged out against Sarah ALL THE TIME! It's getting VERY old!

I told him the GOP establishment no longer represents the things that I value.

I bet he hears that all the time.

“So are you voting for Obama?”

Nope I won’t chose the lesser evil why would I choose the greater evil. As far as I am concerned the moochers, looters, invaders, homosexuals, and their supporters have won the battle for the country. It belongs to them now.

"I’m not a fan either, but he isn’t going to be replaced at the republican convention. Your choices are Romney, Obama, 3rd Party, or stay home."

4 more years of the evil Kenyan is something that America does not need.

Here is Sarah being interviewed on Fox:

Gov. Sarah Palin appeared with Shannon Bream Aug. 12, 2012

Palin needs to disappear and allow Romney/Ryan to move forward without her baggage from 2008.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

TRANSLATION:

1. Shut up and make us a sandwich

2. Give us your donation/volunteer lists then scram

3. Quit endorsing Tea Party candidates and endorse GOPe

4. “Big Tent” only applies to a select few or to those who donate money/time and STFU

5. We don’t need her around to remind the people what a conservative looks like

Thanks for clearing up that you’re an Obama tool, and have an IQ lower than his.

I won’t be giving up on my country quite as easily as you. Think of the hundreds of thousands of patriots that have given the ultimate sacrifice for this country and buck up! We have a long fight ahead of us and we will have hardships, but we will win.
