The Top 40

The heat in Alaska will be nothing compared to the scorched earth campaign that will be waged against her if she runs for President. If she couldn't stand it up there what makes us think she can handle it in the White House.

The task that faces the next President will be to dismantle the welfare leviathan that threatens to eat us all. They -- the permanent government and their peg boys in the MSM -- will die in the last ditch to preserve their phoney baloney jobs.

Palin is a nice lady, with good political instincts, but she flinched once. We cannot afford to give her another chance.

These people either have amnesia, or they think we do.

Jewel, hammer that thought HOME! This is nothing more than others choosing candidates for us.
We can choose our own.

My, Grampa, what big fonts you have! And it isn't even Thursday, yet!

I don't think the whole thing deserves any kind of a response. So she left 'em wanting more, so what?

Fat Man -- no, she didn't flinch. She saw the odds and made a strategic retreat. She reloaded and came out firing to lead the charge in 2010. When you are fighting a leviathan, you have to use unconventional methods. Wake up, man.

CBDenver: Excuses, Excuses.

"She saw the odds and made a strategic retreat. "

I agree. She was being financially and legally crushed by the frivolous lawsuits.

What good will she do anybody if she goes bankrupt and gets her reputation all nciked up by these lawsuits.

Thats how the 'poor' are kept in their place. Poor... as in anybody who is not a multi-millionaire.

Down with the Plutocrats!

She flinched. She made excuses. You bought the excuses. I don't. There are other ways to handle things, and she took the easy way. It won't do.

"There are other ways to handle things, and she took the easy way."

Name one of these other ways. Take your time.

Fat Man seems to think there's a better way. Wonder what he's got in mind.

Alaska needed a governor, and the attacks were making it impossible for her to do her job. She did the right thing. If she was a flincher at any time in the past, she ain't now! She has taken more heat from the media and the Dem thugs than anyone on the planet, and is still standing with class, courage, and wit. Who else, when asked for an interview by a national media reporter, would brush him aside in favor of a heifer? Loved it! Am proud of Sarah, and would like to see her run!!!!!

I agree. C'mon, Fat Man, I'm waiting...

(Bible comparisons coming - beware. Remember that Sarah was raised in a Pentecostal church.)

Long before David (yeah, that same kid who slay Goliath) became King, he also had been trapped into an impossible situation. So, what did he do?

1. He cut his losses - especially after king Saul had thrown a spear meant to kill the young lad;
2. Abandoned the little bit he had earned so far, including the king's daughter (his spousal reward for some gruesomely successful work);
3. Escaped into the wilderness with his family, even obtaining asylum in not-so-friendly lands (don't be surprised if his family kept their arrows or knives under their pillows, just as the Palins and the Heaths have had for over three years);
4. found himself surrounded by a huge group of followers who worked their a$$es off and fought for him ceaselessly without the benefit of Facebook "friends", PACs, or the "Going Rogue Shepherd" or "Israel by Heart" bestsellers (he only managed to write little Psalms, like the 2nd, the 16th and the 23rd - imagine that!);
5. and fought as a mercenary while he was being chased all around... by a king and an establishment who considered him a threat to their power. (Sounds uncannily familiar, doesn't it?)

And before he actually became The King, he had to bid his time as all of his enemies were committing suicide by Philistines or by civil war. (Is this what's going on in the primary battle?)

Funny how some things never change...

Oh... has anyone here noticed that king Saul seemed (and King Barack I seems) to be tormented by the same kind of "inconveniences", especially after they both were (are) being rejected in favor of the "generic candidate"? Think about that...

Also... Have y'all noticed how peaceful and happy Sarah Palin seems to be wherever she goes? She's been thrown things no one ever wishes upon their enemies - and yet she's still standing, as strong as ever.

I bet y'all she regards King David's little Psalms as the best medicine.
