This comes from Robert Schlessinger as reported on US News : Americans for Tax Reform’s Grover Norquist, one of the conservative movement’s top leaders, sat down with U.S. News editors and reporters recently to talk about the lay of the political land. When talk turned to 2012 prospects, he had interesting takes on a number of contenders, but one name he didn’t include on his list of those running was former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. When asked about a potential Palin candidacy, Norquist said he didn’t think she’s in it. He said: I don’t think Palin’s running. She didn’t go to CPAC. She had $100,000 to go speak to 600 people in Nashville instead of going to CPAC. That’s not somebody who’s running for president. He added that the way for Palin–or any contender for 2012–to get serious would be heavy involvement in 2010. If Palin goes and campaigns in 30 House seats and helps elect 30 House people, then despite missteps and other things she could be back on the program. But if she just gives speeches and makes money and just from time to time shows up, then no. Well we KNOW that Palin is certainly not going to put that much effort into gaining GOP support. She is too busy pimping out her family and going after her detractors. Still not convinced? The listen to what past Palin pantie sniffer John Ziegler has to add. Palin booster John Ziegler was on Morning Joe Wednesday and said that “she has gone down a path that makes that absolutely, positively impossible in 2012, to beat Barack Obama.” He noted that her Fox gig and “cozying up to people like Glenn Beck and elements of the tea party that I think she’s rather naive about” won’t help her with moderate and centrist voters critical to winning in 2012. Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey also agreed. He blogged: At least in 2010, Republicans need to have a big draft among disaffected independents in order to gain a governing coalition in Congress, and then they need to maintain that reach in 2012 if they want to make Barack Obama a one-termer. The nominee will have to have credibility with both the base and with independents in order to achieve the necessary cohesion and energy to defeat an incumbent President … Palin’s moves since 2008 have gone in the opposite direction. Do I think that Palin is still dangerous? Yes I do. She still retains the support of some of the most unstable people in the country and if she decides to direct them to back a candidate or incite them to violence she could still do that. As reported in this ABC article Sarah Palin, along with Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, and Michele Bachmann share much of the blame for the frightening increase in Right Wing extremism. And though some of the her anti-Hollywood teabaggers might have trouble trusting her if she keeps hobnobbing with the likes of Jay Leno or Oprah Winfrey, she is still on track to retain her even more fervent evangelical followers. Especially the ones who buy into the 7 Mountains Movement in which Dominionists are encouraged to infiltrate these seven peaks of influence.

Will she eventually be stopped? You betcha! And before you ask, yes I am still working on babygate and following multiple leads. And yes I feel I am getting ever closer to making an airtight case. And no I cannot give you, or the Palin-bots visiting this site, a timeline for when everything will come together. We have already had a substantial impact so be confident that we will continue to reveal truths that Sarah and her followers are desperate to keep from seeing the light of day. Take solace in the fact that as evidenced by the preponderance of negative comments I attract here and on other blogs I am clearly very worrisome to those who are trying to protect sister Sarah from her past misdeeds.
