"So far I haven’t seen one iota of support from the Republican Party for her."

I have no idea what you're talking about, and I imagine you don't either. How is the Republican party supposed to "show support for her" in your estimation?

We have a party system. That party system requires a nominating process, and that nominating process is realized through the primary system. What would you have the Part do, endorse [insert candidate name here] before the primaries even begin.

National politics is a full-contact sport, may the best man (or woman) win. The Party doesn't get involved until the delegates select the nominee. If Palin wins the requisite number of delegates, then she'll be the nominee. If she doesn't, she has no one to blame but herself, and the Party won't have a damn thing to do about it.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about, and I imagine you don’t either”.

When her name is brought up to any of the so called “ins” of the GOP....you tell me what their reaction generally is....it usually is...yes, she’s an important person in the elections..BUT....and, as PeeWee Herman says...there is ALWAYS A BIG BUT.....I haven’t heard one of them say yes she is an important person to the Republican Party and she would make an EXCELLENT candidate which I would support should she win the Primaries...so don’t tell ME I DON”T KNOW EITHER!!!!

How about speaking out in her defense when the MSM decided to butcher her and blame her for the murders in Tucson? They can do that without endorsing her. The silence from Republican "leaders" was deafening. They only decided to speak out after she defended herself, and then their comments all centered around the idea that she should shut up. How "manly" of them.

That's BS and you know it. The GOP has been doing everything it can to try and stop Sarah Palin and undermine her potential candidacy before she even declares.

If the GOP poo-bahs sabotage her before and during the primaries, then I refuse to reward the corrupt GOP with my vote. Period. And like I said, I am NOT alone.

Without knowing it, you were talking to yourself there.

The Republican Party shows its support for political figures every day, year round, both within the structure of elections and without.

The Republican Party will get no more than a spit on the sidewalk from me if they sabotage Palin.
