I don’t know you newbie, or how you got me on your ping list but please remove me, thanks.

[Tex-Con-Man]

I would like to share some quotes with everybody posting to this thread and with those on the Renaissance in America ping list.

Since I fall into neither category, I'm not sure why you pinged me. Remove me from whatever ping list you concocted.

[Kramster]

But these go to 11.

Yay ! Nigel for Prez !!

[Vintage Freeper]

I don't recall the specifics of why I specifically added your name to the ping list. First, I would suggest that it is a mistake to equate the apparent length of time as a member of the forum with the wisdom or knowledge of the participant. But in reply as to why your name was added to the list, I have been screening a lot of posts and replies for several weeks to find people who seem to share a common conservative viewpoint. We are actively looking for Freepers who want their freedom back and who might feel that simply discussing or lamenting it's loss is not enough.

We believe that elections are about changing the hearts and minds of people rather than rearranging the the deck chairs or even changing the crew of a floundering ship in danger of a fate that is even worse.

At your request, your name has been removed from the Renaissance in America ping list, but we invite you to reconsider your decision by reviewing our "Renaissance Plan". You will always be welcome and are encouraged to examine the plan and decide at any time to add your name back to the list if you like what you see.

[Vintage Freeper]

Done, but with our sincere regrets.

First of all, someone who has just signed up but calls himself "Vintage" is obviously either a retread or pretending to be a long time freeper.

Secondly, we don't just add people to our ping lists here - people request to be added. I come to FR for news, not opinion blogs.

Newt would be a terribly flawed choice and a delusionary avatar.

True, but I'd still take him ten times over Romney.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Vintage Freeper.

Right on!

I was thinking of what she would be facing. The left and their lackeys in the media went all out in their attempts to destroy her at the mere thought of her becoming VP. Their hatred for Sarah even went beyond what President Bush endured and it continues to this day. They would most certainly outdo themselves this time around.

If she could go through that more than once then she is super human. Add the RINOcracy and all their agents to her enemies list, then consider the approaching demographic tipping point of the electorate in the U.S.(freeloaders in the majority at the polls). If Sarah can't do it by 2020 it may be too damn late anyway. I fear the country I was born in will not be the one I die in.

[Sea Parrot]

If you knew of it, why did you post your question as to what she was doing?

[tommix2]

Let’s let the whole gang decide.Well I would like to be taken off this ping list

[tommix2]

Sarah didn't decide not to run - she was stopped.The shame is that a multitude of us didn't immediately see this and come to her aid. And make it possible for her to run. In the next few days, only a few suspected. Most assumed it was only mere mudslinging.

[tommix2]

I think there’s much more to it than that.Of course there is more to it.A person does not suddenly 180 like that without something big leading to the action

[excopconservative]

There’s nothing indecisive about reacting to changing conditions. I suppose if Romney is waltzing to a nomination, you would prefer her to stand by and watch?

All of us are trying to get our heads around the overall picture of the race for the White House and how Sarah Palin fits in. If we listen carefully, we notice some consistencies and some inconsistencies that are very telling.

Starting around Sept 1st, Gov. Palin began focusing on “crony capitalism”. Now, she may have used the words before that, but not as a central theme of her speeches. At the same time the phrase, “I’m not for sale” began to be used. Since Sept. 1st, she has been consistent in her use of these themes. Around the same time, the Solyndra fiasco being only the tip of the iceberg also became a part of her speeches and that there would be many more revelations coming.

What is inconsistent is the October 5th decision. Why should she be railing against crony capitalism if it means taking down people on her own team who are trying to defeat Obama? Why would anyone care if she can’t be bought if she’s not running for anything?

Sept. 1st was a turning point in the Palin campaign. It was the point where a strategy was developed on how to proceed and what her campaign was going to be about and how it would be differentiated from the other candidates.

Now we learn that her adviser, Peter Schweizer has a book coming out on Nov. 15th called “Throw Them All Out: How politicians and their friends get rich off insider stock tips, land deals, and cronyism that would send the rest of us to prison.” We also know that Jack Abramoff’s book, “Capitol Punishment: The Hard Truth About Washington Corruption from America’s Most Notorious Lobbyist”, is coming out next week and will get “60 Minutes” coverage this Sunday. There is every reason to believe that Peter would have shared his work with Gov. Palin. Although she would probably not have dealings with Abramoff, pre-pubs of his book have been released to media and it would be reasonable that she would have been able to get access to it.

Steve Bannon and Andrew Breitbart have also indicated that they are working on projects more controversial than “The Undefeated” that will break about a month before the Iowa caucus. It is believed these involve corruption in government. On November 3rd, she spoke to the Florida GOP and stayed with the same themes about corruption and pending revelations. Not once did she mention the field of Republican candidates, strange for a person in the role of cheerleader.

We know that if any of the allegations in the various books and videos involve any of the Republican candidates, the media will tear them apart. Gov. Palin likely knows who the allegations will involve. She may be the cleanest politician in history. She has never had to get involved in the party machinery to get elected. She has always run against the machine. She may be the only governor ever elected, with the possible exception of Jesse Ventura, who didn’t have to get their hands dirty raising money or dealing with party bosses.

So how do we explain the October 5th decision? When the revelations come out in November, all candidates will be examined thoroughly. By coming in from the outside, Gov. Palin becomes an honest solution and you can bet she will have a plan to clean up D.C. She misses very little by losing out on NH, SC, and FL. There will be plenty of delegates remaining to win the nomination. So, was her decision solely strategic? Probably not. Her family probably did have some reservations and certainly finances would have been considered. Family considerations can change as would her evaluation of the Republican field. An honest politician running a campaign against corruption and depending on voter contributions won’t have to worry about receiving them. Campaigning against corruption is what Gov. Palin did to get elected in Alaska.

The next couple of weeks will tell the story. The Herman Cain story will have played out. The corruption books will impact and Gov. Palin will be sitting in the catbird seat.

Your original statement

There are some here who will be hating Palin for the rest of their pathetic and miserable little lives.

-------------------------------

My response.

It is clear that you are not of the kinder gentler wing of the Libertarian group. Or maybe just a troll.

You response.

If you knew of it, why did you post your question as to what she was doing?

I have no clue what you said, I did not ask a question nor assert that I knew anything. I did make a judgement about your character however.

[Lady Lucky]

Do you really think that? That anything less than total approval of anything Palin even might do, indicates I'd rather have Romney?
