Being entertaining is how he gets his job done.
Rush and Sarah and a bunch of others told me to tell you to vore for...oh wait, gotta answer the telephone.
Sarah Palin could rally The T.E.A. Party like no one else.
I get the feeling she is looking for a cabinet post from the eventual nominee.
I had always thought she would team up with Rick Perry but she's letting him twist in the win. They were energy state governors and had history together.
You're a FReeper...and you need others to tell you what to think, and what to do?
Whoa....I need a drink!!!
I hope you are not banned because you’ve raised an important discussion point. However, you’re looking at their refusal to endorse in the wrong way.
We’ve had exactly one caucus that resulted in no delegates being committed. Iowa must still hold district and state caucuses before we know anything about their results.
We haven’t had one primary. New Hampshire’s is tomorrow.
Rush and Sarah are not cowards. They understand exacty what kind influence their endorsements hold. So they are using incredible restraint and should be commended. For either of them to endorse a candidate before SC & FL have held their primaries would be to effectively circumvent the electoral process.
Ann Coulter, God bless her, made the wrong decision to endorse before even one primary.
That’s not to say that governors and legislators should not endorse before the primaries. I don’t have an issue with their endorsing candidates at this point in the process.
The gov busted her ass for the conservative movement for three years plus, and folks said they preferred somebody more intelligent, more articulate, more serious (or at least more serious-appearing), less encumbered by personal baggage, less encumbered by rabid supporters, less polarizing, in general more electable.
Having seen the remaining field in action the last few months...I love irony.
I don’t need Rush or Sarah or them guys to tell me who to vote for. No sir.
I gots me some Jim Robinson telling me Newt’s da man and he’ll zot me if I support Obomney.
That’s all I need to know. Yes Sir!

I agree with you and have been thinking something like this as well.
I’m all for people thinking for themselvesbut the fact of the matter is, a lot of people simply don’t. And nobody’s going to be able to train them to think for themselves in the month or so we have left of these primaries.
People like Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, etc. wield influencetheir opinions matter a lot to large segments of the voting population. And now would be a nice time to actually lead and wield that influence. Instead, they’re playing CYA games.
I don’t mind their waiting to make an endorsement.
What I do object to is that they have not stepped forward to moderate a debate. Why did Rush spend so much time on his show today decrying the fact that the Republicans appeared in debates moderated by the MSM and Democratic operatives, without offering to moderate a debate himself? Why can’t he, Sean Hannity, Michael Medved, Hugh Hewitt, etc. moderate a debate and turn the discussion to issues that we all care about?
Bingo! Thanks for a dose of reality... something sorely lacking on FR these days.

What are you, so stupid you need someone else to tell you who to vote for?
Why should we breathlessly wait for them to make a proclamation? I don’t care if they ever endorse anyone. I make up my own mind.
Rush has made it abundantly clear he isn't a Romney supporter.
Palin is making money. Rush is making money. Neither is in politics. Both are in the entertainment field. It is not their responsibility to endorse anyone. Just like it’s not a football players responsibility to be an example to kids.
Since 1980 the winner of SC has been our nominee.
Could that be the reason some wait to endorse AFTERWARDS? Just asking..
Nice knowing you..........
Wait...you’re waiting for them to tell you who to vote for?!!
Or are you asking them to endorse your candidate, hoping everyone will switch their support to your candidate?
If you DO have a pick already and they endorse someone you’re not supporting, are you gonna switch?
If not, why would you expect anyone else to switch?
Can you explain?
(1) Why would you think this post would get you zotted? It’s a fail as an opus. LOL.
(2) A lot of people are saying who cares who the people you listed endorse. I disagree with them and agree with you. Why? A lot of primary voters are NOT up to speed. Sadly there are a lot of sheep in the GOP. Witness Romney’s success. Strong endorsements by conservative luminaries could help address that problem IMHO.
