Palin still hearts RGA

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
Sarah Palin is no fan of the DC Republican establishment. But one group with which she still has a pretty good relationship: the Republican Governors Association.

She's now offering "individually signed 'Going Rogue' limited edition copies" for a $100 contribution to the RGA.

Remember that during the '09 elections, Palin also plugged the RGA on her Facebook page and solicited donations for it. She and the group's executive director Nick Ayers knew each other before she was picked as McCain's veep, since she used to be a governor.

Okay, enough, FR.  this isn't really news.  It doesn't further any political agenda.  It is catnip.  Time to put childish things aside.  Seriously.
She better get a pretty small piggy bank!! Who gives a rat's ass?? She wrote her book for revenge; and apparently, it's filled with lies!! I'm utterly shocked!!

I want her to campaign for republican congressional candidates; who needs the DNC to fundraise for our candidates when we have Sarah Palin doing such a swell job for us!! Keep it up, Sarah; we democrats love it!!  

pam (feisty)  Did I say ANYTHING in my pevious post about George Bush?  Did I defend him?  No

The post was about you libs being scared of a smart, strong, educated, rich, powerful, beautiful conservative woman, I believe her name is Sarah Palin.


Please try to keep up now.
I now see why liberals, and mostly liberal women, just cannot stand Sarah Palin. She's young, good looking, conservative, represents real Change (not the mealy mouthed gunk that Obama projects), and the most important thing, Palin is self made! No law got her to where she is, no minority status AA rule, no husband that pulled her along (You listening Hillary?) No, she ran, won, and governed on her own merits, and to a liberal, that is just not allowed. A liberal believes the only the state and a judge can bring women to power. Self-made women need not apply in Liberal World.
You guys are over the top and out of control with Palin...btw...what is Joe Wilson up to today? Pathetic...
You've blasted Sarah Palin plenty.  Are you including her in your defense?

I have NEVER ONCE attacked Sarah Palin's son, who suffers from Down Syndrome!! I have called Sarah Palin out on her BS and her lies!!

I have NEVER ONCE attacked the manner in which she OR her husband has raised their child!!

Get real!!

Hey Pam. Just shut up.
Ordered my copy of Going Rogue...just in time to line by cat's litter box with its pages.
Bought three! There is no better way to support the people that will defeat the corrupt and unpatriotic Democrats in Washington today.
I guess libs are only open-minded though until they disagree with you, then you get the "shut-up" message from them. I guess that's the response they can come up with.

Gary, is your temper tantrum over yet?? First off, when told I am NOT a "real American" - Hell yes, I will tell that person to SHUT UP!!

If you right-wingers would not question our patriotism, or imply we are stupid, "not the brightest bulbs in the room," perhaps it will stop!! And by implying we are stupid, it's quite hypocritical to chastise me for stating, "shut up"!! But I've come to expect nothing but hypocrisy from the likes of those like you!!

Do have a good day now!!

Case in point.
Have rich friends/boosters buy book in massive amounts. Check. Wait for it to become "Best Seller Status". Check. Give book away for free for changing long distance providers. Check.
So is this a tax write off or a political contribution? Or maybe just a way to make it look like her books are moving faster than they really are.
Oh well, make a buck if you can Sarah, it is the American way I suppose, unfortunately, you won't make one off me.  I am not one bit interested in anything she has to say or write, not afraid of her, not in awe of her, not in anything of her, pretty easy for me to ignore the whole thing actually, but I am a little curious about that tax write off vs campaign contribution thing and the legality of it.
It's the only orifice they know how to speak out of!!

Since this was directed at feisty, for once Pam Bignardi you are absaloutley correct!!
The "Gross Odd People" (GOP), and the "Really Not Competent" (RNC) are truely "mentally ill." To perdict that "Puppet Palin" the "puke" of politics will run for President in 2012. This functional illiterate would be crushed by President Obama before the first debate even began. Watching "Puppet Palin" put two words together, much less, two thoughts together, would comical America. The "Dizzy Diva of Dumbness" is going to release her comic book on Tuesday. I wonder if she wrote it in crayon?? Maybe it is just one huge picture book of lies, and mindless glitter. "Puppet Palin's" book should be titled. "Going Goofy." An even better title would be. "Gone Goofy." The "brain cell damage" that occured with Puppet Palin is not corrective at any level. The Dizzy Diva is still unable to tell the truth, not able to comprehend basic facts, and struggles to understand simple political concepts. "Puppet Palin" still cannot think clearly, or understand things read to her. The "Dizzy Diva" is so mentally-ill that she confuses facts from fiction. The "Dizzy Diva of Dumbness" is still unable to think rationally, and is incapable of intellectual thought at any level. President Obama could intellectually crush her like a bug, and emotionally make her out to be the emotional "head case" that she truly is. What a joke America! Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! The party of "Puppet Palin" has got to go!!
Little Al has been in and out of rehab, and has been arrested repeatedly, most recently for driving 100 MPH with a pharmacy of illegal drugs in the car.  How come that isn't as much of a knee slapper?

Mike- was Little Al running for VP of the United States??

Tell me, how many of you were a govenor of a state?
How many of you have a book published that will sell millions?
-Proud Republican

Geez, I'm going to go out on a limb here, and guess none of them have.
But then again, I'm probably going to go out even farther out on that limb, and guess none of them tried to get elected Vice President, either.....
Doesn't seem like news to me.
It's nice that you're doing a minute by minute update on Palin.  Anything new on Sec. State Clinton, or the ever MIA  VP Joe Biden?  If you don't have anything nice to say about your own team, talk about the opposition.  Hopefully this will lead to more Palin book sales, the irony of it all.
