| In my research for the film I made on Governor Palin, The Undefeated, I was constantly amazed at the anti-establishment stands she took at every step in her rise to power. Moves that a conventional politician would run from, she embraced: in Wasilla, in Juneau, and in the rise of the Tea Party. Her ability to see “over the hill” to what is really important, what really matters, is what sets her apart. Andrew Breitbart embraced the Governor as a fellow warrior in the long struggle against a detached and venal political/media complex. He lives on in spirit

Would have been nice if Sister Sarah had bothered to fight at all in 2012 rather than postmortem USA.

Timing is everything in politics. Along with charisma what separates Sarah from 315 million others is her exquisite sense of timing. Maybe 2012 wasn´t ripe yet. Time will tell.

The fact she sat on the sidelines without trying to help Romney to defeat Obama in 2012...turning the USA over to a Communist cabal.....tells me MS Sarah is first and foremost about Ms. Sarah ...and that disgusts me

I have to laugh. Unlike the parade of dimwit Republicans who blabbed their regrets, strategy and plans to the press, Palin is holding her cards close to the vest. This seems to drive her detractors a little nuts. #3 is right.

#4, I know of at least $5,000 that she gave to Romney´s campaign. I don´t know that she was asked to help Romney in any other way, or that she wasn´t rejected if she asked whether they wanted her help.
After all, people who worked for Romney, and later for McCain, went further than not "trying to help" her - they tried, and still try, to destroy her. Her help may not have been, and likely wasn´t, wanted by the Romney campaign. She obviously wasn´t wanted at the Romney Republican Convention.
Fox curtailed her commentary during the campaign.
I´d bet she voted for Romney, just as I did.

#4, totally agree. I like Palin. I am Palin. Except I don´t play coy. Her refusal to utter the name "Romney" when we needed her most turned me off--- 100%. She´s in this for Sarah, nothing else, and I´m sad about that. Also, I don´t mean to be nasty here, but she needs to let up a little on that heavier than usual makeup unless her goal is to look um, tartish. She´s soooo naturally pretty--- it´s a goofy distraction. OK, flame away. I´m not afraid to speak my mind here bc this website has always been a place of tolerance, for which I´m extremely grateful.

I voted for Romney because he was the Republican candidate, BUT he was never fond of TEA party members. Let´s be honest here. Rove was a Romney lackey and a Bush guy and we all know what he thinks of the TEA party. Even Barbara Bush´s unseemly remarks about Mrs. Palin were shocking, and beneath the dignity of a former first lady. GW Bush´s "compassionate conservative" mantra stunk too..as if conservatives are NOT compassionate.

One of the hardest things to do is get up everyday and see that my circle of friends grows smaller, especially on this website. Too many want that ONE person [hero] to stand up and make it all stop, that is the 0bama pain. Our country doesn´t work that way.
President Bush could only do what he could on the War on Terror as Congress and the LSM let him. When Chief Justice Roberts seemed to fail so many of US because of his vote on 0bamaCare, you forgot that by electing 0bama, he stacked the deck against US, and for many years to come. The same is true of Sarah Palin.
Romney was last on my list in the beginning, till he was officially nominated as our candidate. I voted for him proudly, because I put America first, and Ted Cruz. For those who talk down "my" Sarah because of her family´s problems and the monies she´s made are myopic and the reason we keep nominating RINOs. I´ve had had to endure all the Christie slobbering on here and it didn´t take Hurricane Sandy to see what a jerk he is.
It´s amazing that when Sarah speaks, mainly through Facebook and other means because the LSM hate her, she´s prophetic in what is said [death panels looms large with many of US retiring now]. If you want perfect, go to Church and thank God that He made it quite simple for US. Love Him, then our neighbor as ourselves. I don´t see perfect in my mirror.

Romney did not want any association with Sarah Palin, she knew that. Why impose herself on him? Sarah concentrated on Congressonal and State elections for candidates that wanted her and whose principles she could support. Sarah serves as a scapegoat for too many in the GOP.

The Republican Establishment used Palin to try to pull McCain across the finish line. Then used her as the scapegoat for when McCain lost. During the next election cycle these same people derided her and complained she wouldn´t shut up. Now they blame her for not helping enough.
How do you reason with someone who´s thought process has no basis in logic or commonsense? Why would you?

I suspect that the Republican leadership and Romney viewed Sarah and the Tea Party as toxic, and did not want them visible prior to the election, so the press would have no issue with the ´Extreme right wing´.
Although there is no direct evidence, it would not surprise me to learn that Sarah had been asked to keep a low profile in the national election.
Regardless of the reason, the fact is that she was not a factor. Now, there is no disputing the outcome. It didn´t work, and it´s time to try something else. The question is, will she respond in a hard-charging fashion?

#2-the Romney camp prior to the 2008 election was already out with K. Madden giving negative commentary on Gov. Palin. Romney kept his hands clean. He knew Palin was the only true competition for 2012; his consultants and Schmidt and Wallace were closer than peas in a pod. S & W were recommended by Romney to assist McCain in 2008. Would you set yourself up to allow being trampled on daily and then be scapegoated for his loss?
#4 Take your ´disgusts´ to apply to the Romney campaign. He faught harder against his peers in the primary than he did against obama.
Romney and his team didn´t want her around as they knew she would outshine him.
#7 Just what might be your definition of ´coy´?
#10-Loyalty plays a huge role in Palin´s life. You seem to think she should have dissed McCain in his election after he brought her to the national stage.
#22 - So Palin should have stayed in the Governer´s office in Alaska while the crazies were filing the ethics complaints so they could create Personal Bankruptcy for her family with 5 children? How intelligent would that have been to let ego destroy her and put her, her spouse and 5 children on the streets?
Palin helped put the 3 REPUBLICAN WINNING Senators into Congress. The RINOs supported their primary opponents.

To any here that say they would never support her - I hope you like what that gets you - and we´ve got it in the WH and senate right now. Bankrupcy staring us in the face - Constitutional rights threatened, corruption, America losing face with the entire world, anything right and decent and traditional is ridiculed and trashed.
But Sarah Palin is the problem? I don´t think so. Go Sarah - I will always love you!

I trust Mrs Palin´s instincts AND her motives. So far her opinions have not been for sale, rent or trade. They do not change with the direction of the wind or the poll numbers. She is exactly who and what she appears to be. I cannot say I believe the same of any other politician. If she runs for anything I will support her and vote for her. If she endorses a candidate I will give that candidate a more favorable look than I otherwise might have. Maybe for the first time in my life I will be able to leave the voting booth without feeling like I need a shower.

All of these people complaining that Sarah didn´t help Romney...blah...blah...blah. Maybe you forgot, but Romney, and his Karl Rove henchmen, were too busy, along with the democrats, digging up trash and spreading rumors about her and didn´t even bother to invite her to speak at the GOP convention. For that matter, he wouldn´t even allow the mentioning of the tea-party at the convention. It was Romney´s election to lose, and he decided it was better to alienate half of the GOP: tea-party and Palin supporters, than give them any position in which they could help get the communist out of the White House.

Just as I stand with Andrew, I stand with Sarah. She has her principles and convictions
Knowing how the Republican party feels about her, why would she come out to help Romney (especially after he made it clear to stay away from the big guys in charge) This is to take nothing away from Romney, but Sarah was not about to foist false praise on a nominee she could not believe in. Can´t blame her for that. She has that spark and even if those in the party can´t find the way to see it, patriots know it´s ready to light the blaze.

The fact that the Liberals, RINOs and the Progressive corrupt mainstream media all hate Sarah Palin is reason enough to support her. We know who they fear by who they hate. The corrupt MSM seems to love Chris Christie, now what does that tell you? They also love Obama, Bill and Hillary Klintoon and all corrupt Black Democrat politicians. The corrupt MSM loves abortion and Obamacare also and supports disarming American citizens so only criminals will have guns. That is all more than enough reason to support our beloved Sarah Palin. I hate the corrupt wretches in the mainstream media. I think Sarah made a good choice by leaving Fox News. I do not trust Fox News aka the Bob Beckel network anymore.

Lamecherry:
I was raised to never retreat and to pick battles wisely, and all in due season. When it comes to defending our republic, we haven’t begun to fight! But we delight in those who underestimate us.
I love you Mrs. Palin, but you left the battlefield much to the bloodied eyes of your abandoned Compatriots as you picked at your bag of Chic Fil A battles with your multi million dollar pay off.
Some Americans like yourself can confuse "wisely" with cowardice and confuse "wisely" with prudence, as your due season was purchased with the blood of this blog holding point and field, as you appear with your confederates of Limbaugh, Hannity and Levin exorcising the ghosts of Reagan and Breitbart..
Your Republic is dead Mrs. Palin and you are foolish to distract Patriots to fighting over a corpse buried in the Obama Abyss. If you happen to lurch into the light in the embers of the shattered Bonhomme Richard, know this Mrs. Palin that John Paul Jones in his "I have not yet begun to fight", it was about striking the colors and you struck yours as you abandoned the field for more prudent quarters.
Those who remained on this dangerous and bloodied fields have not forgotten, nor is the sound of current tourists on our field, is held with the same value as advice in "how we should have bled better".
Our flag is not upon a sunken ship of state, but is nailed fast upon the enemy´s Serapis now our possession.
We know our ship Mrs. Palin. We know the treacherous waters upon which we sail. We know our colors are nailed to our mast. We know the battle Mrs. Palin.

Surprise! Surprise! As usual, the shallow-thinking, narrow-minded, low-information Palin-bashers are out in force, airing their flimsy theories once again. So, what else is new?
Sarah Palin is accused of being everything from diabolically devious to dumb as a post and everything in between. Wow! Talk about “living rent-free” in some peoples’ brains!
And let’s not forget the Abortion Remorse contingent who can’t for the life of them understand what she sees in Trig. They even despise her subliminally.
People who feel a burning desire to play the blame game would be well-advised to concentrate their efforts on the unlikeliest person of all who has the highest title of all and is hell-bent on fundamentally transforming what we used to have into what tragically lies ahead if patriots such as Sarah just play it safe by doing nothing.
For who she is, what she has done and what I know she is capable of doing in the future, I’m proud to offer her 100% of my support anytime she asks for it.
Psych 101. Some people who disparage Sarah Palin feel vastly superior by doing so. Please indulge me. I’m not a shrink but I attempt to play one every so often on these threads here at Lucianne University.

Did anyone read the Breitbart article about what is happening in D.C. right now? With the exception of Michelle Bachmann, there is no one in the capitol that I would trust to make a bologna sandwich...much less policy. They´re ALL either traitors, moochers, or spineless pubs.
Sarah has not, nor ever will be, one of them. While Romney and Ryan are having D.C. luncheons, Sarah is planning her next move to get the truth out. These days, that is about the hardest job anyone has.

As the final buzzer sounded, a Louisville player tossed the ball high into the air and injured Kevin Ware stood up, thrusting his arms above his head. It was the 15th straight victory for the top-seeded Cardinals (34-5), who will play the winner of Syracuse-Michigan for the national title Monday night.

The Keystone XL Pipeline has emerged as a major issue in the Massachusetts special U.S. Senate election, with environmental groups committing nearly one-third of the $1.25 million in outside money already spent on campaigns. The biggest spender so far is the League of Conservation Voters, which has already spent more than $545,000 to help elect Democratic candidate and Rep. Ed Markey, who has a strong pro-environment platform. “Our field campaign is resonating with voters across Massachusetts,” said Navin Nayak, a political specialist for the group. “The people of Massachusetts want climate change champion Ed Markey representing them.”

At the corner of Columbia Pike and Walter Reed Dr. in Arlington, Va., sits a stainless steel bus stop with a million dollar price tag. Yes, that’s right. The futuristic-looking bus stop cost $1 million to build. The so-called “super stop” boasts a heated concrete floor and a digital display board that shows when the next bus will arrive, but it doesn’t do much to keep commuters warm or dry (except for their feet). The stop leaves the people waiting for transportation exposed to the elements.(Snip) Some $800,000 of the money came from federal and state tax dollars via grants,

Now that it’s almost departure time for Julius Genachowski, Obama’s first chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, The Hill newspaper has noted one important sign of his priorities. In his four years at the helm, the FCC hasn’t issued one fine to Hollywood for indecent content on broadcast television. Now there’s a legacy. Hollywood sends its gratitude, Mr. Chairman, for an absolutely perfect record of inaction. Who says that in Obama’s America, your campaign contributions can’t buy regulatory paralysis in Washington when needed? Few media outlets noticed. Communications Daily described Genachowski’s perfect zero as a “restrained approach.”

New York -I don´t think that Dennis Rodman stands much of a chance of getting named US Ambassador to North Korea. Just a few weeks ago, the flamboyant former American basketball star known as "The Worm" returned from a visit to the closed communist state, where he met the basketball-loving dictator Kim Jong Un. "The guy is awesome. He was so honest," Rodman gushed. What´s more, he had a message from the Dear Leader to President Obama: "He said, ´If you can, Dennis - I don´t want [to] do war.

The battle for the potentially pivotal votes of African American legislators on a bill to legalize gay marriage in Illinois intensified Friday — as opponents and proponents alike pulled out the big guns. Leading the opposition, Cardinal Francis George and a group of black ministers launched an aggressive campaign against same-sex marriage to be waged through radio commercials and telephone calls. Weighing in on the other side, national civil rights leader Julian Bond sent a letter urging legislators to grant equal rights to “my gay and lesbian brothers and sisters.” George met with prominent Chicago area black pastors and bishops

RUSH: Folks, I don´t know how else to categorize this. We are living in a dying country. I don´t know how else to categorize what´s happening -- 88,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

Why Obama´s ´Best-Looking Attorney General´ Comment Was a Gaffe

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained to the Women in the World summit in New York today that the clock is turning back for women in America. Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

Get ready for the last straw. First, though, I´d like to suggest that anyone reading this column in a local newspaper or news site pat the editor on the back for publishing what in our neo-medieval world of fear amounts to a forbidden column. Yup, I am about to say something about the Great Barack Obama Identity/Eligibility Scandal again. I know that this is one rich and urgent topic that doesn´t see the light of day in certain so-called news outlets -- and I say that from the experience of watching my own syndicated columns

SANFORD - Trayvon Martin´s parents have settled a wrongful death claim for an amount believed to be more than $1 million against the homeowners association of the Sanford subdivision where their teenage son was killed. Their attorney, Benjamin Crump, filed that paperwork at the Seminole County Courthouse, a portion of which was made public today. In the five pages of the settlement that were available for public review, the settlement amount had been marked out. Lower in the agreement, the parties specified that they would keep that amount confidential. When asked during an earlier interview whether the amount was

The couple, who married on April 4, 2008, took in the sights of Old Havana, visited a school, dined on a rooftop terrace and strolled the fan-filled streets in their island best.(snip).The power couple declined to answer journalists´ questions about their visit to the island nation, but some outlets are reporting that the moguls are there as tourists, though that would be illegal because of the half-century embargo the U.S. has on the Communist country.

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
