About the time Rupert turned the network over to his liberal son.
About the same time as Krauthammer did too.

Okay – so that’s not just me. This has really happened at FNC right?

Just suppose the unthinkable – Romney/Palin. Mittoast needs some conservative cred with the base. Given that he is struggling to put away Rickie, Newt and Paul a Sarah pick might be in the cards. Would certainly help shore up the base and allow Mitt to drive to the center. Gray matter would be splattering many a monitor screen if it happened, both sides of the aisle.

Wait until Ed, AP, and Tina start updating threads that have yet to be posted. Now, that will be freaky to teh deaky.

With respect, no, she didn’t.
The brilliant people–supposing you’re being honest and weren’t one of them–told her not to turn the primary into a farce by getting into it.
I personally thought the only way to rehabilitate her image with the I’m-so-informed-because-I-get-my-news-from-SNL crowd was to go through the process. But Obama’s economic and energy policies have left the door wide open while no Republican seems capable of stepping through.
Sarah’s voice may grate on your nerves–like GHWB’s did mine–which is all the more reason to listen to her words when she gives speeches. The woman has the guts to push any top-ticket candidate through the open door to the Presidency, and she reaches broad Democratic constituencies without pandering.
And if you are really a conservative, you should want the candidates on the ticket who can best help our country avoid fiscal ruin–whether you like their hair, voice, accent, wardrobe, spouse or 3-point shot.
But maybe I’m giving you too much credit.

Palin is a non-entity. Alaska went for Romney, the guy she has been jabbing for months. Her chosen candidate came in last at 14%.
echosyst on March 7, 2012 at 3:06 AM
Unfortunately, you are…
Gohawgs on March 7, 2012 at 3:17 AM
Palin is the One! She has the energy and she would have had the nomination early.
To those that didn’t see that, you cannot see past the lesser of all evils. You either think Mitten’s is your choice, with a record of flip-flopping. He’s our John Kerry, who once served in Viet Nam, only he changes his mind to pander for votes. A resume’ on display, that doesn’t include Romneycare and how he courted the Obama regime on how to make it work.
Gingrich self destructed long ago and that shows. Santorum had the consistency like Palin, the conviction and the belief in the American people. Palin would bring an energy like that in 2008, and in 2012, would have definitively won. Despite what the polls and talking heads would have told you, Palin is the one.
Now we have, apparently, an empty suit. Much like the one that occupies the White House today. Except he’s not from the church of hate, he’s from the church of Massachusetts liberalism. Make no mistake about it, Romney will NOT repeal Omancare. He will try to fix it and we will twirl down the rathole of socialism.
He panders for votes. He has changed his mind like the trade winds change with our seasons. He doesn’t even campaign on repealing Obamacare, he campaigns on his resume’, the resume’ that doesn’t include Romneycare.
For that matter, none of the candidates are campaigning against Obama’s policies. They are too busy attacking themselves.
When your opponent is losing, you do not help them. This is why Obama will win. Questions?
Kini on March 7, 2012 at 3:52 AM
A good example of how stupid some of the people posting here can be is the “accusation” that Romney is equivalent to Ike.
Of course, the left dismissed and ridiculed Ike, but over time even liberal scholars have had to give him his due. He did manage to oversee our retooling as a consumer economy while restraining the communist tide, no small achievements.
Adjoran on March 7, 2012 at 5:06 AM
OT: the lsm is giddy that dear leader went after the gop candidates on boasting and talk of war and not being commander in chief…what about all the blustering that dear leader proclaimed on the campaign trail in 08, i guess that was considered bluster back then…

Ike backed up Civil Rights with bayonets when needed as well.

When Palin threads don’t generate 500 posts in the first six hours it is a good indication that her 15 minutes has passed her by.
Her comehither statements draw the most ardent fans into a tizzy but everyone else just yawns.

Four score and 20 banned condoms ago

B.A. Moderate on March 7, 2012 at 6:23 AM
What do the Romney supporters think Romney is going to do if the Democrats keep the Senate? What kind if judges do they think he’s going to appoint if there’s a Democrat Senate? How conservative is he going to be if in 2014 the Democrats win back the House?
He’s going to be exactly what he was in Massachusetts. He said he had to appoint lib judges because he had a Democrat legislature. He said he had to support lib policies because he had a Democrat legislature. On a good day he is going to be a moderate. When the winds blow for the Democrats… he’ll be what he is, a Democrat with a nice tan, good hair, a big smile and an “R” behind his name.
I believe in miracles. That’s what we will need if Romney is the GOP nominee. God help us. But then why would He if we have decided as a nation that we think we’d be better off without Him.

It seems like your god had his chance to help of he wanted. He either chose not to or is a Romney supporter.

Romney was smart to get Gingrich out early. Santorum is not near the threat, but he is serving the purpose of damping another Gingrich resurgence.

http://dailycaller.com/2012/03/06/sarah-palin-i-voted-for-newt-gingrich/
Palin voted for Gingrich because he is the “cheerful one”. Mr Whipple should have run…
Question for the Pbots: If someone has the conviction to vote for a candidate is that stronger than a sort of endorsement on their employer’s dime?
Bradky on March 7, 2012 at 6:43 AM
wolfie could have asked ANY question to Sarah and the only one he asked was what she thought about the Rush issue…
what an idiot….did anyone else see that last night?
cmsinaz on March 7, 2012 at 6:48 AM
Better yet, Pee-Wee Herman.

renalin on March 7, 2012 at 6:53 AM
GAG! PUKE! Nothing worse than to listen to Palin first thing in the morning. She should only come out at Halloween. Her influence is imagined and will never hold public office again, especially in Alaska. Fox News should drop her!
lhuffman34 on March 7, 2012 at 6:54 AM
Perhaps:
“What magazines do you read?”
“What diplomatic solutions do you recommend for the Iran issue?”
“Will you run for public office again?”
“What do you think about the criticisms of Newt’s marital history?”
Bradky on March 7, 2012 at 6:58 AM

Dear Mitt:Ignore the man in the bow tie
March 6 2012
************
Dear Mitt:
**********
Consider me a neighbor leaning over the picket fence. You have a picket fence, don’t you? An ivy-covered wall? Fine, I’ll get a ladder.
This is what I want to say: Pay no attention to that man in the bow tie. Just because George Will says something doesn’t make it so. Just because he has written you off as unable to defeat President Obama, don’t believe it. This isn’t over.
Also, not in any way to compare these two: Do not fear Rush Limbaugh. When he utters something repugnant, say so. When he calls a young woman a “slut” on the public airwaves, do not say you would not have chosen those words. Be offended! Be outraged! Do you need Limbaugh’s base to win? Are those really your people? You had an opportunity to establish yourself as a leader and missed it. Though not irreparable, this is a shame and is symptomatic of what ails your campaign. Too eager not to offend, you are reluctant to say what is true.
You have my sympathies. At this point in the campaign, your autopilot has been recharged to within an inch of its life. You’ve said the same things so many times, you’re not sure you believe them anymore. You don’t remember what it’s like to kick back and enjoy a quiet cup of cocoa by the fire. You’re winning, but it feels like you’re losing. (Thanks, George.)

It’s interesting how a strong woman sends some self believing “manly men” into such a tizzy about how stupid she must be. Truth be said, if you came up against her you would probably pee yourself.
You have the answers, then get out there and try to make your case without the tired cutdowns we are all used to seeing and reading about her.
If no one thought she had leadership abilities she would be a dead issue. Even those who can’t stand her see there is something to fear about her or they wouldn’t waste their time on her.

Palin would rather see Obama win in 2012 so she can have a shot in 2016.
Her vote for Newt brands her for life. Goodbye Sarah, I used to love you but you abandoned me for ambition.

Way to go, Sarah, you chose the same candidate as my family. How could anyone be surprised at her choice? It has been evident for awhile who she favored. I trust her and Rick Perry’s judgment more than any politican today, they picked the best with Newt.
Tn.-Vol on March 7, 2012 at 8:06 AM
The way some people on this board talk about Palin makes me wonder if they’ve ever blasted a TV set with a gun just because she was on TV.

Sarah says she won’t rule out a run in 2016. i can rule it out for her. If the Republican wins then she will sit out. If Obama wins, the country is through.

Romney/Gingrich. Love to see Newt eat Biden’s lunch in a debate. Who wouldn’t tune in for that?

Come on, you can’t even try to compete with the left when it comes to ignoring the intent of the speaker in order to work up some fake outrage.

Heh. I glanced at the title and saw the picture of Sarah and thought the title said, “Queen for a day”

Yeah, it’s not fake.
darwin on March 7, 2012 at 9:32 AM
Palin’s support for Gingrich is helping Romney win. It is time for Gingrich to drop out – Hopefully, Palin will use her clout to help Gingrich make the right decision. This is a two-man battle between Santorum and Romney.

Bmore on March 7, 2012 at 10:04 AM
Mostly by the same half dozen crazies posting over and over and over.
Palin is over. The very mention of her name is poison. She should go keep a lower profile and come back in a couple of years for a fresh look.
She single handily killed Newt’s campaign by being associated with it. Some kingmaker she turned out to be. You can’t be a kingmaker when half of the country hates your guts.
Moesart on March 7, 2012 at 10:55 AM
I watched her on Cavuto last night. She wants more debates. Please go away. How much longer does her contract with FOX run?

Is she not well? I saw her on FOX this AM and she looked terrible.
jeanie on March 7, 2012 at 1:10 PM
You really are blinded by her, aren’t you? It couldn’t possibly be the entirety of Fox/National Review/Weekly Standard that came out and badmouthed Gingrich and the millions of dollars Mitt spent on misleading attack ads that killed his campaign. No, it had to be Palin’s endorsement!!
alwaysfiredup on March 7, 2012 at 3:41 PM
Oh he has actually made some positive accomplishments for the Conservative Cause. His stupidities and lies have given other people a reason to post the truth and educate others.
You do know that he is a hard core leftist, who is just lately posing as a moderate here?

Oh, it is a he?
Well, no insult meant to Scotsmen in quilts but I find guys in skirts to be rather unappetizing.
But you still haven’t explained what / who it is. I’m sorry to exhibit a near BradKY level of ignorance here, but in this respect I have no idea of what you are trying to convey.
Oh… Wait.. Hillary wears a skirt?
What happened to the pantsuit?
