Palin's Five Goals for 'Going Rogue'
Sarah Palin has five goals as she prepares for a three-week 14 state tour to promote her book, "Going Rogue," says Politico. The website lists them as reconnecting with her base, payback to her critics within the McCain campaign, sticking it to the media, putting the Republican establishment on notice as she did with her intervention for a conservative candidate in an upstate New York congressional race, and recasting her image as a serious figure.
Politico quotes Marjorie Dannenfelser, a Palin backer who heads the Susan B. Anthony list (a group that supports candidates who oppose abortion rights) as saying, "This is going to help build her machine for whatever she intends to do with it."
As for payback, pro-Palin Republicans are hoping she doesn't stoop to a public war with former McCain staffers. GOP political strategist Mary Matalin told Politico if a motive for the book is to keep Palin on the political stage, "it would be stupid to make it a score settling book. She's hopefully going to answer some of those things and look forward."
The New York Times, in a book review by Michiko Kakutani, isn't buying five reasons. Her review is headlined "Memoir is PayBack to McCain's Campaign."
The Huffington Post today has excerpts from the book, particularly on Palin's contentious relaionship with former McCain campaign manager Steve Schmidt.
The Daily Beast is offering up its "top ten" Palin book leaks.

Goppy,
I have to agree with you, I don't like quitters either.
Take Van Jones for instance...along came a 'little pressure' and he caves in.
What's up with these quitters ??

LOL!! Y'all are great! Funny stuff.
I've told Goppy before that he/she/it is just the other half of the problem. Now I will say it to anyone else who has bought into the two party farce. While WE all bicker between OURselves, politicians in BOTH parties conspire to rob US with policies that funnel OUR money right up the food chain, right under our noses and into the pockets of the REAL enemy that WE, The People share.
The Big O is no different than the rest; huge deficits to fund huge conglomerates like Goldman Sachs and the entire financial industry, Organized labor, Organized Religion, Corporate America, Wall Street etc and now the government is working on enslaving millions more customers [many of them unwilling] and granting exponentially larger profit margins to Public Enemy #1 - The Insurance Industry; you know, the AIGs of the world that got billions from US and billions more outside the TARP fiasco from the Feds? Who do you think has to pay all that back? Not THEM, but WE ... The People!
To show how little Liberals care about WE, The People just look to the first thing The Big O signed as president - The extension of S-CHIP coverage to 4 million additional children. On the surface it looks good, right? Unfortunately, it relies on millions of average Americans continuing to kill themselves with a $0.68/pack tax on cigs which falls mostly on the middle class - you know, that group he told would not see their taxes go up one dime? It was indirect support of the Tobacco industry from a president [who coincidentally smokes].
Question: Splash, How is taxing tobacco products a support of the Tobacco industry? I'm glad you asked. If the government is going to count on tax on tobacco to enslave children at such an early age to government health care then they must insure the survival of the tobacco industry. THEY DON'T CARE IF YOU KILL YOURSELF BY SMOKING! In fact, the government hopes you do ... all the way to the bank! And when those children grow up, the government hopes that they smoke too.
And just look how much The Big O cares about WE, The People that he would wait until unemployment topped 10% with no sign of stopping in order to call a 'jobs summit': http://wp.me/pywxb-Mg
But let's not leave out the 'Modern Republican Party' as Goppy calls them. Put simply, the Rs are no longer true Conservatives like Goldwater and Reagan; They are spineless moderates infected by the Religious Right for no other reason than to get more votes; folks like W, and his daddy before him or John McCain. You don't really think they want to save babies so they can go on Liberal S-Chip and grow up to vote Democrat, do you?
Moderate Republicanism is the Price Is Right of politics -- as close to Liberal as one can get without going over. And thus, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME. Notice how they all lined up shoulder to shoulder from NAFTA to the recent $700 Billion Fail Out Plan. And there is a reason for it: Politicians don't work for WE, The People. WE have proven time and time again that WE will reward them with re-election no matter what they do. Incumbents enjoy a 90% reelection rate with one hand tied behind their backs. Thus OUR politicians work for the THEM [some of THEM you know, but most of THEM you don't]. THEY call the shots; the two party ruse is a play, a hoax a sham -- and THEY rely on that system as their cover, deliberately designed to convince WE, The People that WE must choose a side, that WE have something to stand for or that WE even matter at all!
Who Are THEY and what do THEY want? http://wp.me/pywxb-Kn
THEY are rich beyond OUR wildest imagination, they are ruthless and the only ones who can defeat them are WE, The People AND THEY KNOW IT!
So who powerful are WE, The People? http://wp.me/pywxb-JO
WE, The People showed how powerful WE can be last November when we took a nobody and made him president. WE showed it again this past August [actually starting back in March '08] when WE realized that that nobody was no different than any other seedy politician. Both times the power of WE, The People was divided against itself into 'sides'. To defeat our true common enemy, WE, The People will have to be UNITED! Divided WE will lose, but if WE unite then THEY don't have a chance in hell ... and THEY know it!!
We will be raising an army soon ... not an armed army ... it will be much better than that!

I guess what people spend money on is their buisness.I can't imagine what Palin has to say that is even remotely interesting.I have never heard her say anything to make me think she has any ideas or even understands major issues.Palin is a self absorbed narcissistic person who feels the world revolves around her.She only offers catch phrases and slogans and seems to just love hearing herself talk.If some people find her appealing,fine.I don't see anything more than someone trying to cash in on her fifteen minutes.If someone wants to fork out $25.00 for her Book,that's their buisness.I just see her as a Tabloid figure and not a valid political force.Most reliable non-partisan polls don't have her popularity over the low 20% area.She won't be a threat to Obama if she is in the same category as Paris Hilton,Kate Gosselin and the Balloon family.I could go on.I will just sum it up like this.If she is out to make as much money as she can before she becomes irrelevant,she is smarter than I gave her credit for.However if she thinks she speaks for most Americans,which I have heard her claim,and thinks more than a fringe conservative minority wants her to be President.She is dillusional.

In true Sarah fashion, and in a brilliant display of her cluelessness, Sarah didn't bother to look up the definition of "rogue". Here it is, from Webster's: ROGUE (noun) 1)vagrant,tramp 2) a dishonest or worthless person: scoundrel 3) a mischievous person: scamp 4) a horse inclined to shirk or misbehave

Come on now. Ms. Palin cannot even count to five. Her two goals are lie, cheat and steal and make as much money as possible doing it. Yet, I see her gullible 21% intend to buy her little book. It just goes to show that there really are a lot of people even more stupid than Sarah.

Just a question for those who think Palin is a Joke. Why are you so afraid of her? Considering, we the "Americans People" gave Obama a token or chance to become president. Knowingly that he was not qualified to be one. My challenge to all of you is simple, compare Obama%uFFFDs resume versus Palin's, and see who is the joke. Reality is that we, the American People are the joke. We made One Big.... Mistake America. Oh, did you notice it%uFFFDs spells OBAMA.
