Sarah Palin is no longer on my ticket....

What has happened to Sarah??

I mean when she first exploded onto the national scene...she just seemed more politically 'balanced'...

I remember she was known for going after and exposing corrupt officials, her own colleagues, regardless of their political leaning...that's why people early on, refered to her as a 'Maverick'...

Just a lady, who wanted to do the right common sense thing for her state....

Fast forward

Today...I don't recognize her anymore...now that Fox News and Sean Hannity have gotten a hold of her...she's just not the same...

Now she has just become another rhetorical mouth piece for the 'right'...like a TV commercial....

Predictable and tired rhetoric constantly pouring from her mouth...

Like demonizing 90% of the population....those who aren't fortunate enough to live way out in Alaska, and are unable to live on acres of land to enjoy the wildlife...

She makes it seem everyone else is 'scum'...people who work and live within large metro areas...(as if we're not 'true Americans, cause we don't own a horse..)

Before, I saw her as a woman of grace...now I just see her as a female version of Sean Hannity....

How do I know when someones talking on a script??
When I can predict what they will say, how they will say it, and how they will react...before they actually do...that's how I know it's become a 'script'...'rhetoric'...

With a true Maverick...you can't ever predict what their gonna say or how they will react...(cause a true Maverick follows no political script)...

Sarah Palin has fallen into that split and divide trap of 'left vs right'....

She has become a slave to politics...and now her followers expect her to act that way, and say what she says...
She's no longer a Maverick...now she's a puppet...for Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity...and Glen Beck...


(so sad)

No longer a free thinker...no longer willing to consider other view points outside of her political machine...I have no use for such a politition anymore...

(At least Ted Nugent is still politically Independent..and he's as out doorsy as Sarah..)

And now she's convinced she can run and win the Presidency....just like Michael Jackson still thought he was the King of Pop....

That's what happens when you isolate yourself amongst your own supporters for to long....that small 7% seems like 100%...cause their always telling you what you want to hear...

I use to like her...don't believe me...look up some of my former comments about her...I truly did use to like her...but now she just seems pompus, proud and full of herself...

And if she's rubbing me that way now...that means she's rubbing others the wrong way also...
We'll see Sarah...go ahead and run...and let's see if that 7% of die hard, tell you what you want to hear, support group...can hold you up nationally...best of luck...

    What she doesn't realize...that even certain other Republicans do, is that if she runs...she will awaken a whole group of voters who are normally dormant...

    People who otherwise would stay out of the political process, will be 'scared' into voting...kinda like what got Obama elected...only 10 times more this time...

    Cause the election will be framed as 'Obama runs against the racist tea party'....

    That's how the next election will be framed, if Sarah Runs...
    And they have plenty of ammo in the closet to scare the masses against Sarah and the Tea Party...fair or not...that's how politics is played...

    Her biggest mistake is thinking that this last election cycle somehow reflects 'most' of America....so so many people did not even vote this time around...so it has given her and others a false sense of overwhelming victory...

    Sarah has isolated and discounted all people who are not of her stripe...and it will backfire on a national level...

    Sarah Palin maybe politically polarizing, but she is largely generous when it comes to charity. Palin is a major sponsor
    of movingguardian.org, which is revolutionizing the moving industry.

    Did I call it or what??

    I just knew she wouldn't be much of a contender come election time...

    Her mistakes...

    1. Resigning from being Govener from Alaska...

    2. Allowing the hardcore 'right' to 'use' her like a doll...a wind up doll full of predictable rhetoric...

    a. Republicans goooood....Democrats baaaaad....
    b. We need to take back America....

    3. To many appearences on talk shows and celebrity shows...
    She marginalized her image by doing so, and has become more of a 'cartoon' figure...

    The Sarah Palin I miss, and the one I would have voted for, was that quiet mysterious lady from Alaska, who went after both dems and reps who got out of line....

    The Sarah Palin that wasn't a 'ideolog' but rather a common sense woman, mother, who wanted to Govern properly....

    She was a fine canidate until the hardcore right got a hold of her, and when she learned there was money to be earned by taking on that 'right' attitude...that all others are baaaad...accept for a few.....

    She blew it....and now is not taken seriously by either party...

    The Republican club used her...and then dumped by the curb side....wow....

    Anyways...way back in November of 2010...I called it...
