Sarah Palin’s Die Hard Supporters ‘Stunned,’ ‘Disappointed’

Peter Singleton and Michelle McCormick left their jobs, homes, and families to move to Iowa to campaign for Sarah Palin. Wednesday evening they found out they didn’t have a candidate.
The former Alaska governor’s supporters founded a group called Organize4Palin to build a grassroots network and essentially campaign for her: go to county meetings, stump for Palin with politically connected Iowans, and form a loose campaign structure for what they saw as an inevitable Palin campaign. It turned out not to be.
Sarah Palin made her decision known Wednesday releasing a statement to ABC News and telling radio host Mark Levin that she will not enter the presidential race. Wednesday evening she told Greta Van Susteren on Fox News that she “apologize(s) to those disappointed” with her decision saying that she had heard from them over the last few hours and hopes they understand “you don’t need a title to make a difference in this country.”
As the news broke that she would not run those supporters that were the most invested said they were “disappointed,” but had “no regrets.”
McCormick, 28, left her home in Texas in March and was almost unbelievably commuting to Iowa on the weekends. In July she made it official moving to Iowa to stump for Palin believing she would run. She said she “respected” her “role model’s” decision.
“I’m disappointed that I’m not going to have a candidate I can get behind for the 2012 GOP nomination, but I really do want people to know I so respect Gov. Palin and it doesn’t diminish my respect for her at all,” McCormick told ABC News. “She doesn’t owe me or Peter Singleton anything. We loved talking to the folks and getting engaged in politics.”
McCormick is single, but was away from both her family and career working around the clock for Palin. She said she was excited to “jump back to my real job” as a title analyst for the oil and gas business and miss the Iowa winter. Her work gave her a leave of absence to come to Iowa, but she wouldn’t disclose how much of her own money she’s invested into her move to the Hawkeye state, but said she couldn’t just “sit on her couch hoping Sarah Palin would run.”
“I don’t regret doing it at all. It’s been a wonderful experience. I had the pleasure of meeting Gov. Palin and it’s been fun,” McCormick said. “I think she’s the best person to carry forward the principals I believe in, but I would never guilt trip or pressure her in. This is not what this is about.”
Peter Singleton, 56, has been living in Iowa for almost a year and was so known as the face of Palin in the state many political operatives thought he worked for SarahPAC. He continues to stress he was always working completely independent of her political organization.
Singleton said he wasn’t sad, but he too was “disappointed.”
“Disappointed for the country because I think she was the best choice for president at this time. I think I’ve been really clear I expected her to run, I believed she would run. I understood there was a chance that she didn’t, but it was always her choice. I have enormous respect for Gov. Palin as a leader and I respect her decision.”
Their devotion cannot be underestimated. Singleton left his life in California where he was about to embark on a new career as an attorney and has been “burning down his savings” to stay afloat. He is single, but also left his family to stump full time for Palin. His daughters have visited him in Iowa and even brought his grandson for a visit, but his work on Palin’s behalf was grueling putting in “100 hours a week.”
“Seven AM until one AM every day except for church on Sunday, but it’s what you do if you really believe the country is facing great challenges,” Singleton said.
He made quick 30 hour trips home to see his daughter graduate college and for Easter, but he’s spent most of the last year working for someone who was and is not a candidate. He doesn’t know yet when he’ll leave Iowa.
McCormick may stay the weekend, but is eager to return home to see her two year old nephew.
Although Singleton and McCormick are examples of Palin’s most passionate supporters, one only has to visit the website Conservatives4Palin to see there is an entire community of diehard fans. It was set up after the 2008 campaign by Rebecca Mansour, a woman who would go on to be one of Palin’s closest advisors and a SarahPAC staffer. It’s this community that gave birth to the Organize4Palin mission.
While not everyone up and moved their lives to another state, she inspired a passionate support system willing to defend her at all times. Supporters even asked others in the C4P community to bet on Intrade that Palin would run in the hopes that it would encourage her to. These are some of the people who will be the most heartbroken and it’s there that angry supporters that feel jilted are posting and commiserating, a sign that a real backlash against Palin is building in response to her decision.
TENCOLE posted: “I feel sad, disappointed and very bitter. I feel like the bride left at the alter and not feeling very good about the person that left me there. This could have been handled much better……we deserve better…the “boots on the ground” deserve better. I feel “led on”, and when I think of the numerous times I defended her/us against just such an announcement as this, I get nauseous … Her speeches coming up. you know like this weekend … guess what, I don’t care. She has made me start thinking that posters that I have been arguing with ad nauseaum, were right all along…*tear*”
CitizenG100 said the decision was an “unpleasant surprise and the “quitter meme is now set in stone.”
“As to how her decision affects her own political future, the short answer is she now no longer has one. She has proven her critics right and some of her supporters wrong … She could have run and lost and still won again in the future. She cannot ever win having bailed out on running this time though … Resigning in order to maintain a run for higher office is one thing, but resigning in order to become a permanent kingmaker/media commentator/cheerleader is quite another.”
Angry threads are all over the site as well as supporters posting that they don’t buy her reason for not running. jeffjackie posted, “I love Sarah, but the ‘I don’t need a title’ meme is dumb. President Palin would be far more impactful than citizen Sarah Palin.”
McCormick acknowledged “there’s probably going to be range of emotion after this no doubt about that,” but said she couldn’t speak for other supporters. Singleton said that he believes supporters that were active in Organize4Palin would not hold a grudge on Palin saying “we never felt like she had responsibility to tell us anything.”
Other posters said they would continue to support Palin, but the distraught, angry, and sad posts are all over the site.
One of Palin’s most fierce supporters who constantly tweets about her and defends Palin on both Twitter and C4P is a supporter that goes by the Twitter handle @IanLazaran. He wouldn’t agree to an interview for this story, but tweeted that there will be questions about Palin’s timing with her decision.
“What @sarahpalinusa needs to go do going forward is to provide an explanation for why it took her until October to arrive at her conclusion … If she can provide a good explanation, she’ll probably get the benefit of the doubt,” Lazaran tweeted in a series of two tweets.
Whitney Zahnd is the Illinois state Organize4Palin coordinator and says she’s still “surprised and in shock,” but she trusts that “it was a sincere decision.” Zahnd who is a health care researcher in Springfield and frequently posts on Conservatives4Palin says she’s “disappointed,” and was “convinced she was going to run.”
“That was always a possibility (that she wouldn’t run). I don’t discount that. I didn’t anticipate this, but it’s not something that comes as a complete shock,” Zahnd said. “She was honest that she had not made a decision until now. I appreciate this was something she put so much consideration into. As for backlash amongst Palin’s most ardent supports Zahnd said, “I think people will react in different ways and perhaps some will react that way. We will all have our different interpretation about her words and her intentions … everyone will react in different ways.”
Radio show host Tammy Bruce, one of Palin’s most passionate supporters, tweeted that she was stunned after the news broke.
“i’m as shocked as the rest of you, I’m in the process of speaking to a few people and will expand on my thoughts on this shortly … Frankly, I’m stunned, and must apologize to all of you for not being able to get enough information sooner … I’ll be honest — right now I’m not impressed with how this was handled. But I’m also still stunned. Have had tech problems all day,” Bruce said in a series of three tweets after the announcement.
Palin’s Facebook page was also inundated with distraught supporters. Clarie Net’s post was one that was repeated all over her page: extreme sadness.
“With Gov. Palin ruling out a presidential run, Americans was deprived of a leader who could have become one of the best presidents in America.
Very disappointed :(”
Several posters asked her to support other candidates running like Ron Paul or Herman Cain. Sheilagh Porto Nowacki posted, “Since you are not running, please support Herman Cain. Thanks.”
Palin’s endorsement is sure to be highly sought out, but that may not come soon, although she did tell Van Susteren Wednesday evening she was already being courted by members of the current field. Where will these Palin supporters flock to or will they just sit the primary out?
Zahnd believes when it comes to the Palin supporter community that is based around Conservatives4Palin that “a lot of people will wait and see if she will endorse and others will see if there’s somebody else to grab hold of. Everyone will come to their own conclusions.”
Zahnd added that she’s “not one of the people that will say if she’s not running I won’t vote for anyone, but I can’t say I’m leaning towards a certain candidate at this time.”
Singleton said he may support someone in the primaries, but that he doesn’t “think there is anyone remotely as strong as Sarah Palin, not in a million years.”
McCormick stressed she won’t be able to support Mitt Romney, but she may get behind someone else. There’s no one she would work as hard for as she did for Palin.
“If someone earns my vote whether that’s Herman Cain or I don’t know. I’m really not pleased with the field. It is tough. I hope someone will earn my vote and there’s someone I can walk into the voting booth and pull the lever for them,” McCormick said.
Conservative pundit and Palin supporter Jedidiah Bila re-tweeted Bruce predicting Herman Cain would be the beneficiary of Palin not running. Bila tweeted earlier that she believed Cain would get the “biggest gain” from Palin’s decision.
“@JedidiahBila: “@HeyTammyBruce: It is now @THEHermanCain versus The Machine. I have felt he’s not ready but perhaps we work to help him *be* ready”
However, Steve Bannon who made the pro-Palin documentary “The Undefeated,” said her supporters “will eventually go to that person who they feel represents tea party values. It could be Herman Cain, Gov. Perry, or Michele Bachmann”

Why should they be stunned? A leopard can’t change its spots. If Palin ran for President, she’d have to break her contract with Fox that pays her a ton of money. That’s the same contract and millions of dollars that she abandoned her commitment to the citizens of Alaska in order to take. Given how easily she left a post she’d sworn to uphold, just for a few bucks, the only people who would be surprised by this announcement are the less intelligent people.

First of all these people who uproot their lives for a total STRANGER without any basis other than their own wishful thinking need to take a good hard look at themselves. There is something seriously missing in their lives.
That being said; Sarah Palin showed nothing but self-centered callousness in disregarding them in her decision making process. She had no problem committing to paid speaking gigs in October while playing her narcissistic media games with regards to running for President. I hope that the media and SERIOUS candidates send Mrs Palin packing to obscurity. I would consider her endorsement a “stain” on any candidates resume.

LOL! ……… “Stunned”…. Anyone with half-a-brain could read the tea leaves on Sarah Palin over a year ago. Sarah Palin was advised by her financial advisers over a year ago that if she runs and loses, she won’t be as marketable as a paid guest speaker. Sorry folks, but political groups don’t invite two-time losers to come and speak at their events. She knew a long time ago that she wasn’t going to run, for this very reason, but wanted to keep her minion followers donating to SarahPAC. She was well aware of this fact and ONLY her hollow-brained followers did not see what she was pulling.
Sarah Palin was also advised by her financial advisers to continue STRINGING her Republi-minion followers along for “AS LONG AS YOU CAN” so that contributions could continue to flow into SarahPAC. And, NOT stunning at all, her minions were indeed, “STRUNG” along… LOL! …… like sheep.
I wonder how many of them are going to ask for their donations back… LMAO!

Stunned is an understatement. At considerable sacrifice, our family voted to contribute more money than we could really afford to Sarah’s campaign for the presidency because we believed she was going to run and she is the only real hope for this country. We believed we were doing what was best for our nation and the future of America by supporting Sarah. Now, we don’t understand what has happened and if our sacrifices were for nothing. Her supporters, those who believed so deeply in her, deserved to know her intentions as she accepted funds as if a presidential run was clearly her plan. We basically feel hurt, confused, and frankly, a bit angry right now.
Posted by: foreveramerican | October 6, 2011, 7:47 am 7:47 am
And there we have it. Two great examples (Singleton and McCormick) of the type of simple minded morons that Palin has used…just to get rich. I guess my elders were right….’fools and their money are soon parted’. That is why I have always ‘dissed’ Palin. I hate ger ‘ignorance’ and the ‘ignorance and simplemindedness’ of her robot followers. That type of ‘ignorance’ NEVER solves or HELPS to achieve any types of positive results.
Posted by: CND FOX | October 6, 2011, 7:48 am 7:48 am
HAHAHAHAHA! Did you think she was really going to run? If you did, you are most likely the people who have been buying her books, supporting her newly found million dollars a year income and following her around like a immature boy who recently got a chance their first “cop a feel” on the older, worn out, saggy boobs next door.
Posted by: LMAO | October 6, 2011, 7:50 am 7:50 am
Anybody who really believed she was to run need their head examined. Why wait so long to announce? Who would have paid good money to hear her speak knowing she did not run, never intended to run? She has been playing all the country bumpkins for 4 years into believing she had the slightest shred of the knowledge and analysis capacity to become president. I feel sorry that vulnerable people spent hard earned money, left their home to folllow that “false prophet” as they might say… Good riddance though, the Sarah “without a title” should disappear back into the wilderness she never should have left…

Stupid Tea Baggers. Did you really think she was going to run? HAHAHAHAHA! You fools. She is making millions of dollars each year for spewing out hyperbole.

Hey “stunned” people, if you follow the Palins close enough, Bristol said months ago that her Mom had already made a decision. Sarah had to reprimand her loose-lip daughter that “what’s said on the boat, stays on the boat.” This is a professional grifter and you’ve been grifted!

As Roger Ailes would put it “hot!” Perry and Palin are attractive people; but I never thought they were that great looking if that is all we can find to focus on, and willing to settle for. It makes the Republican Party look bad too.
It is pretty sad when candidates have nothing of substance to offer us but a “trademark made of looks” and wealth generated from ghostwritten books. It just shows how shallow our society is. I would want to be remembered as compassionate, articulate, presidential, a humanitarian, and devoted to specific causes………if nothing else. A success they acquired over time; and not a sudden fame artificially made.
This woman should never have been governor and certainly should have never been a VP candidate. We are supposed to pick the “cream of the crop here!” I mean something that comes from inside and not an outside prop.
I’m embarrassed of my country these days and the greedy and self serving people we give the power to. God help us! We are a fudged up society worried about superficial nonsense………wealth, position, curse word and religious details…..when our actions are far worse than our words and our so-called faith!

She wasn’t gong to run the day she signed with FoxNews way back last year or whenever it was. NO serious presidential candidate would make a stupid, polarizing move like that, bar none! That was the tell. Just going for cash from there on. There’s nothing like an election campaign fund to cover expenses on those image enhancing road trips. She even duped the knumbskull with the stupid radio show. Hopefully she’s done a service in giving the rubes a lesson in getting hustled.

We have followed Sarah in our RV across the country and believed in her with all our hearts. She may not be an intellectual giant but she always seemed to be honest with us. Now, we just don’t know what to think except there is a family emergency Sarah can’t share with us at this time. There just has to be a good reason for this, although I do agree with her that she can still drive the political debate and geopolitical discussions as an outsider. This may be just another example of her going rogue but it doesn’t seem she considered those who are litterally followers of her efforts to travel across the country, enlightening people hungry for hope as she goes.. That wasn’t what we designated our donations for. We expected her to become president and not go rogue at this crucial hour in our history. While we understand it is in her nature to go rogue and respect that, we sincerely hope she recognizes her supporters’ cries of anguish and returns to the mission at hand.

Well, at least the death threats will slow down now. Had she run, the prisons would have filled up with Democrats threatening to kill her. There are a few in jail as we speak right now for that little offense. Democrats never met an honset politcian they likedYou libs head on up to NYC and go protest Capitalism.

She may not be an intellectual giant but she always seemed to be honest with us. Now, we just don’t know what to think except there is a family emergency Sarah can’t share with us at this time. There just has to be a good reason for this…..Posted by: foreveramerican | October 6, 2011, 8:34 am
A) There is no ‘may not be an intellectual giant’. This woman is an idiot, intellectually speaking. She’s a genius at fleecing unsuspecting people like you, though. B) There IS a good reason for this. She’s a quitter, she really has no interest in conservative politics or causes, she just wants the cash. That’s why she quit the governors job, and that’s why she won’t seek a pay cut by going for the Republican presidential nomination. C) She knows she won’t stand up to any more scrutiny. I’m guessing the skeletons in HER closet are dangerously close to escaping, and she would potentially lose a LOT of money if she were embroiled in yet another scandal. I’m sorry for you that you have WASTED a portion of your life following this twit across the country. You’ve been had. You’ve been scammed. You’ve been fleeced.

As I have stated before, she’s a nitwit who just knows how to schmooz a crowd into thinking she has something in her head besides air! Anyone who takes this woman seriously is in need of having their heads examined. LOL…she thinks having a 3rd party in the election will win Obama the election? How about the way the Republicans and Tea heads in general are acting? They want to dismantle our country while saying everything is Obama’s fault. Examples: the debt ceiling crisis… their delays picking everything apart caused U.S. credit to downgrade, (never in history had this happened… the Presidents merely signed the bill to raise the debt ceiling)…; trying to do away with unions; trying to do away with social security and medicare; changing voters registration laws to make it harder for people to register. Now, I ask you, what is this doing? Making the Repubs and Tea heads look really bad in the eyes of the citizens of the U.S. They are too dumb to know that they are “giving” Obama a second term! How dumb is dumb? LOL…. My thanks to all the idiot Republicans and Tea heads for allowing Obama to kick your butts one more time! Keep up the good work!

“She may not be an intellectual giant “—well, truth be told, that is a real problem. Folks, she isn’t smart enough for the job. As a good American, she should NOT run. She does not have the knowledge base nor the stamina or the intellectual capacity. Europe is considering doing another quantitative easing. China is manipulating their currency, we need to RESPOND to these things before our currency makes our export too expensive, which causes our GDP to go down, which leads to more layoffs. This dim wit has no idea how any of this works and quite frankly, neither do most of her supporters. Folks say they ‘hate the fed” or that we’re “printing money”, etc. Uh huh. Well, when China “prints money” and therefore increases our trade deficit and europe is about to devalue their currency that WILL cause huge problems with our economy, so WE may need to buy up our bonds and flood our economy with cash as well. We can’t have our debt increase by simple currency manipulation. Do you understand this? If we borrow when a dollar is equal to Yuan, but then China does thier QE then we borrowed a dollar, but must pay back $1.20. Soooooo, we buy up our bonds and flood cash into our economy, thereby reducing the value of our dollar, so we borrowed 1 dollar, but now pay back only 80 cents. So now WE just reduced our debt by 20%. we CANNOT allow foreign nations to INCREASE our debt burden because we have politicians that are too stupid to know how this works nad ya know what, this is just ONE TINY aspect of you run a global economy. There is SOOOOOO much more to know, it would take YEARS full time, studying it, to be up to speed. THIS is the problem with supporting someone who has a journalism degree, or a ‘animal husbandry degree” and why I support people like Romney who not only knows this ,he’s mastered it! I’m sorry folks, but she was FAR too stupid to be anywhere in the whitehouse. Fact. Be grateful you dodged a bullet. You need to vote for brains. It matters. ALOT.

For all the names that Palin’s supporters have called the Obamas, their supporters and the current administration, “stupid” is one of the nicer ones. Were I not the decent and Christian black woman that I am, I’d throw out a few obscenities myself. But its not worth it: at the end of the day Palin FOOLED her supporters. Politics became a cash-cow for her the MINUTE John McCain chose her as his running mate; a move he has lived to regret. Palin is a funny-looking blow-hard; she talks big but she doesnt care about anyone or anything but MONEY.Come on…she was the governor of Alaska. Nothing goes on there. Its not really a significant place in terms of economic woes and media scrutiny. Then BAM-national, even worldwide attention came her way. Expensive outfits, reality TV shows–nevermind her kids, special-needs child and unwed-big-mouthed-teen-mom-daughter. What a hypocrite–her rude, bratty kids tell HER what to do and she wants to run the COUNTRY? She cant even run her house! Her home-life paled in comparison to the idea of FAME and FORTUNE. Palin & Bachman love talking about their families but they treat their kids like stuffed anmals-not real human beings that they NURTURE and SPEND TIME with. Palin doesnt want to actually do any hard ‘work’–she just wants to talk. As does Bachman, Newt and bad-hair-dye-Romney. All of these people are FILTHY rich–they dont know the average or even the middle-class’ persons plight–yet these are the people that are supposed to ‘fix’ this country? Whatever. Whoever believes in any of the GOP candidates, Tea-Bag-Hags or Palin need their heads examined. These folks have–and will continue to screw you and blame Obama for it. They are laughing all the way to the bank-with generations-old wealth and the money of their anti-Obama supporters. Ya DUMMIES. Obama 2012 Baby!!!!!

herewegoagain: You are describing the sort of economic flim flamming that Michelle Bachmann has attacked so vigorously. Just as she refused to support the raising of the debt ceiling no matter what the consequences, she will never support just printing money and going deeper in debt! Bachmann has mastered the international economic situation and understands it better than most world leaders. Sarah Palin is a bit weak in this area but has worked hard to formulate her personal theories of economics. If Sarah Palin would run for an open seat in Arizona, she and Bachmann could be a powerhouse of opposition to debt and needless government spending. Together, they could bring the big spenders to their knees and get this country back on its feet in no time!

Obama’s policies have prolonged our recovery,———economists disagree. We would be in a depression right now were it not for Obama. The stimulus was small relative to the size of our economy and to the magnitude of the abrupt fall. Our GDP contracted, was shrinking at a rate of nearly 7% per quarter. I know you’re a Palin supporter, so I will educate you that our debt only matters as it’s ratio to the GDP ….GDP TO DEBT is the ratio to which you measure whether your debt matter. When your GDP is contracting SO FAST as that, it is the SAME THING as the debt going through the roof but worse, because it has a snow ball effect. We were headed for DEPRESSION. We didn’t spend nearly enough to get 5% unemployment back, but…to say that the stimulus didn’t help is like saying that when you threw a cup of water on a house fire it didn’t put out the fire, therefore, putting water on fires doesn’t put them out. DURING the stimullus our GDP was groing at 6%. now that it’s over, our GDP is growing at 1%. I’m sorry, but if you actually deal with reality, proof, numbers, they show, unequivocally, that Obama helped ENORMOUSLY. We’d have 25% unemployment right now. fact. There were over 700,000 layoffs the month Obama took office. Simply take 700,000 layoffs and project that into today. Stop being so lazy and actually DO THE NUMBERS and see where we’d be. Around 25 – 30% unemployment. Depression. fact.

Had it done that, we wouldn’t be worried about a double dip. Now, Obama wants another stimulus, but the government propping up our GDP isn’t necessarily a good move when you incur so much debt. BTW, I don’t need you or anyone else on this forum to educate me on the economy. And all of those crystal balls about a depression are BS. We were certainly in for a tough recession, but not a depression. TARP actually helped and you can pin that on Bush AND Obama as Bush would not release the 2nd $350 billion without Obama’s consent.

Sarah Palin is right in not running
Republican politicians should avoid the “lamestream media”. They are likely to ask you embarrassing questions or questions that can slip you up and cause you embarrassment.
She should know. She was subjected to hard trick questions when she ran for vice president..questions that made her appear unprepared , uneducated or two faced.
Sarah is spot on right. It’s better for conservative candidates to appear on Fox news, where they will be asked more meaningful questions like: Why is America a great country? Why is your opponent morally corrupt? Why do you love your country so much? Why should we support our troops? Why are illegal aliens hurting our country? Why do you love your family?
For example. When Palin criticized the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act — she stated that telling kids what to eat seeks to take away “God-given rights to make our own decisions.”
The liberal news media then attacked her by asking if she thought smoking pot, having an abortion, paying for sex, going naked in public were also God given rights.
That questions was uncalled for. It was meant to trip up Sarah and make her look inconsistent.
That’s why Conservatives should stick to Fox News. Fox news won’t ask Conservative tough questions that are hard to answer.
Fox news will make sure that Conservatives get to rehearse the questions beforehand so that they won’t make any slip ups.
Fox news will protect Conservative candidates and make sure they don’t look stupid

But we know how to construct a proper sentence and spell words correctly. We also know the difference between “your” and “you’re”. And, we know not to mix singular with plural when constructing that sentence. If you’re going to attempt to insult someone’s intelligence, you should at LEAST make sure you do so without looking like an illiterate moron…………

Palin just like trump knew she wasn’t running for pres. They got their 15 minutes of fame and some.
If Obama had Chosen Palin instead of Mccain, Palin would have been talked about like a dog. She would have been history a long time ago. If she had been Obam’s choice, the same people that claim they love her so much,would have been calling her every name in the book.

ACHILLIES wrote =================Sarah Palin is right in not running
Republican politicians should avoid the “lamestream media”. They are likely to ask you embarrassing questions or questions that can slip you up and cause you embarrassment. “She was subjected to hard trick questions when she ran for vice president..questions that made her appear unprepared , uneducated or two faced.”=============
How funny is that? HARD QUESTIONS??? If you are the a candidate for the President of the U.S. you shouldn’t need any ‘STUDY TIME”. You can’t be serious?
First of all, a question that you don’t know how to answer is automatically a “gotcha question or embarrassing” to the idiot Repubs and tea heads… LOL. Second, if you take that woman seriously, you should consider checking yourself into a psych ward. Republicans and tea heads… keep doing what you’re doing. Obama is a shoe in for re-election!

Posted by: achillies | October 6, 2011, 10:38 am 10:38 am
There was NEVER a time when Sarah was going to run for President. She was just holding off until the last second in order to keep up the interest from all the FOOLS that actually thought she COULD run. Those folks that supported her amounted to about 29% Republicans and NO ONE ELSE!! Now she’ll do what she had planned all along, make LOTS of money off the fools that THINK what she has to say is anything meaningful.

ACHILLES….PEOPLE WATCH “FAUX NOISE” FOR ONE REASON and one reason only. IT REINFORCES THEIR MIND SET….AND AS A RESULT….they do NOT have to THINK. Sarah Palin’s ‘talked about ignorance’ is a direct result of what she DOES (AND DOESN’T) say to whatever media source that interviews her.

The level of self delusion operating on the far right currently cannot be underestimated. These people honestly believe things that no rational, informed, intellectually active person would. Things like the Birther nonsence, for instance. Things like Obama being the “most corrupt President ever” and “the economy is worse now than ever” (as Johnny Boy points out, the FACTS and NUMBERS tell a very different story, and they are drawn to Palin because she relies on “common sense” and “gut” rather than facts and numbers and intellect.) Things like the argument that a return to the failed, supply-side economics that got us INTO this mess is the solution.They readily accept as Gospel the most tranparently false information.
The recent comments by the head of the NRA (that there is a “conspiracy” in the Obama administration to “take our guns away” in a second term, despite the fact that Obama’s record on gun rights indicates the opposite AND the illogic of a plan involving waiting 4 years to actually enact said cunning plan) are typical of this mindset. Their paranoia and irrationality knows no bounds.
Of COURSE they are “stunned” and “disappointed”, because they sincerely believed that she would run and WIN…they are still convinced that another extremist like Bachmann or Cain is a shoo-in. They are so out of touch with reality, with the mainstream, AND the moderate GOP base, that they are SPILTTING the Republican party, rejecting all electable candidates as “too liberal” and”RINOS”.
I don’t feel sorry for them; that would be both condescending and too generous. They are so absolutely convinced of their rightness and superiority, so completely closed to any rational debate or conflicting information, and so contemptuous of the rest of us “sheeple”. Perhaps this dose of humility and reality-check will do them good.

Yes they are blacklisting a congressional representative RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT! Now think to yourselves….how is it possible that ALL OF THESE NETWORKS WOULD ALL FORGET TO TELL YOU THAT RON PAUL WON THE CALIFORNIA STRAW POLL…unless……THEY ARE COLLUDING! Unless they are all ON THE SAME PAGE……SO WHAT? YOU SAY….WHO CARES? WELL YOU SHOULD! The media is supposed to be competing with one another….they are supposed to give a wide variety of perspectives and opinions and news stories…THEY ARE NOT ALL SUPPOSED TO BE COOPERATING TO SHUT A CONGRESSMAN OUT OF THE NEWS….THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO REPORT THE NEWS….NOT MAKE THE NEWS! By making the news they are undermining YOUR FREEDOM AND YOUR NATION! So if I were you, I WOULD GET MAD AS HELL AND START WRITING TO YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT IT to see if there is any way to break up this COLLUSION THAT IS UNDERMINING THE FREEDOM AND WELL BEING OF THE NATION!

I don’t think Palin will ever run. That decision didn’t come recently either. That’s been her plan from before she began her recent ‘bus tour’. She’s a businesswoman. Period. And she’s been able to capitialize on a growing market dissatisfied conservatives. Just like Rush and Glenn. Politics would constrain their money-making capabilities AND make them more accountable for what comes out of their mouths. Palin’s learned how to play the game since she’s been thrust into the spotlight running with McCain. First of all, any political figure that resigns prematurely from office with no REAL good reason, has failed the people. She can say what she wants as an excuse, but if I were the one voting for her, and she resigned from office, I’d be more than upset. It’s like making it to the championship, and your team gives up b/c they changed their minds about playing the game. That dissqualified her in my mind from ever running for president. It shows something about a person’s character when they don’t finish what they started.

Top 10 Richest Members of Congress= 7 Democrats / 3 Republicans (with the top two being Republicans)
Top 20 Richest Members of Congress = 10 Democrats / 10 Republicans
Top 30 Richest Members of Congress = 12 Democrats / 18 Republicans
Top 40 Richest Members of Congress = 15 Democrats / 25 Republicans
Top 50 Richest Members of Congress = 18 Democrats / 32 Republicans

Wow, what high-minded commentary from the brilliant anti-Palin writers on this site. They repeat the dumbbell brainwash about quitting and a desire for money as the prime motivators for Palin’s activism. She is a private citizen. She pays her own way. She earns her money. These idiots completely ignore the fact that the poseur in the White House left his U.S. senate seat to campaign for the presidency. He didn’t formally quit; he just left the fools in Illinois who voted for him languishing without representation while he campaigned and hawked his crappy books that so many suckers bought. Most of them probably didn’t even read it. If they did and voted for him anyway, this country is truly gone. He made a couple of million. Meanwhile, his wifey has been using taxpayer dollars like her own personal debit card for herself and her “senior staff” family members. On our dime, the two of them will walk out of the White House with comfort and wealth , hopefully for good in 2012, after having plundered and weakened this country.

Why should Sarah put herself thru the ordeal again. The attack groups have has attacked, spied, sued, insulted, slandered, Mrs. Palin. No decent person should have to go thru the assults Mrs. Palin has. Yet she has behaved as a lady taking on attackers and making them look foolish time and again. How many other politians could have three years of correspondence reviewed and they found nothing. She is a powerful voice, a accomplished governor, someone with strong views she is not afraid of sharing. Her son serves his country. Her daughters has been attacked in public, is there any wonder why decent people do not seek higher office. Good luck Sarah.

@ Ron Her daughters were attacked in public for being hypocritical. If you promote traditional Christian values (abstinence till marriage is one of them) and have a pregnant teenager running around the house, the average person gets the impression you can’t run YOUR OWN HOUSE, let alone the country. Her daughter then went on to be famous for being famous and is therefore given the same level of respect as Paris Hilton.

Mutual delusional frenzy. Palin truely thinks she is a “king maker” as if the republican establishment is ever going to court her again. ““we never felt like she had responsibility to tell us anything, ” says one disappointed fan. Well, she didn’t tell you anything, she just collected her flock’s donations.
Peter Simpleton (name has been changed to protect her privacy ; -)) spent over 100 hrs a week working for Palin in Iowa, gave up his law career for her, and asks now “why she didn’t tell sooner that she was not going to run”?
Now, let me think, if you tell your devoted fans and $ donors in May/ June that you won’t run, well, then Ms Palin would have missed out on 5 more months of campaign contributions. Thats why, mr Simpleton.
She stretched the lie as long as possible. The truth is out now, I think her money will dry up because eventually even her most devoted fans will see her for what she is: a money grabbing quitter!!

You do have my sympathy, dear Palin follower.
However, I must tell you that people like Palin and her followers, yes, YOU, are not nor will ever be “good for America”. America does not need any more mindless, rosy-eyed faithful followers (that’s how Hitler got into power), we need thinking tolerant open minded people who help together to get this country out of the mess it is in, currently. Yes, and republicans and democrats need to burry the hatchet too, after 4 years of Palin tea party divisiveness. Let’s get this country back on course. All of us.

LOL, nice rose-colored glasses. Back in the 60′s, Republicans were joining the John Birch Society, trying to keep segregation alive, and demonizing those who opposed the Vietnam war. Not to mention laying the groundwork for Watergate. And a decade before that, they were running the McCarthy inquisition. The further back you go the more ugliness you can find.

Thanks to McGininis’s book which was well written and well researched–based almost entirely upon the facts and opinions he found from the people of Alaska, who knew her best–the “real Sarah Palin” emerges; and she is NOT what most people believed her to be!!!! What is sad is that all of these revelations about her were not made known to Senator Mc Cain when seeking a Vice Presidential Candidate. I have lost respect for him. His was a great failure as a serious Candidate for the highest office in our beloved country. But it is good that we have been spared….Whew!

Well written drivel is still drivel even when it’s researched drivel.
So the book is based mostly on “facts” from the people of Alaska.
Those type of things are what you correctly call “opinions”.

Ronald Reagan was stupid, George W Bush is stupid, Sarah Palin is stupid
Sound familiar? Lather, rinse, repeat
It is the favorite “propaganda technique” favored by Liberal Democrats and their supporters that is used to attack their enemies:
ad hominem (personal attacks), ad nauseum (repeat attacks), name-calling (arouse prejudices and fear)
Democrat ‘fears’ the popularity and support of Governor Sarah Palin to such an extent they have employed these propaganda techniques consistently for 4 straight years with the desire to ‘neutralize’ her. They continue, and escalate, the propaganda because it is not working.
I completely agree with Governor Palin’s premise that (99%) of the Establishment ..must go.. but that (1%) is still needed.
Who among you in the Tea Party factions wish to argue that ..even 1%.. is too many? 99-1 is not enough? If it is, than who is that 1%?
Sarah Palin ROCKS and is correct on her endorsement of Orrin Hatch.
