A large majority of tea party members want Sarah Palin to stay out of the 2012 presidential race, according to a Fox News poll released Friday.
Among respondents who identified themselves as members of the tea party, a staggering 66 percent said that Palin should sit on the sidelines, while only 28 percent wanted to see her in the race.
Even more Republicans -- 71 percent -- thought she would be making a mistake by declaring her candidacy. In all, 74 percent of voters hoped she would not be getting in.
The former Alaska governor received her lowest support from non-white voters: only 13 percent were ready to give their approval to her candidacy.
"When I run into tea party people across the country, many of them tell me, 'Look, I love Sarah Palin. I hope she doesn't run for president,'" Republican strategist Karl Rove told Fox News' Gregg Jarrett Friday.
"I think her diminishing influence, these rising number of people who don't want her to run, is a result of her having a on-again, off-again tease. She ought to get in or she ought to get out."
The Hill's Christian Heinze suspected that the bad poll numbers might make Palin even more likely to run.
"That's because she hates being marginalized, under-appreciated, or dismissed," he wrote. "Politics is personal, but with her, it's extra personal -- that's one of the reasons why she reacts so vociferously to the slightest criticism"

I am torn, if Palin runs, Obama is sure to win, but if a stronger puke candidate runs, at least it might force Obama to acknowledge the environmentalist, progressives; just maybe they could sit at the adult table for a change.

At least not toward the cameras, anyway. For people who have
a sharp memory, for not having their brain sucked out by the TV
Hulu aliens, I recall some of the more prominent flash in the pan
types who struggled to get their names on the ballot throughout
the States. Bob Barr, a Congressman prominent during Clinton's
era ran on the Libertarian ticket. He genuinely was against the
2 or 3 egregiously Un American sections of the Patriot Act which
the Court has struck down, and invalidated it as UnConstitutional.But the point is we still need a 3rd, 4th, and 5th viable political
party in this country, as they have in European countries. One of
the reason why the Corporatists found it too easy to dominate
Republicans, and then Democrats, is because they make too big
a target. Like Corporations themselves, their trend is to merge into
even larger organizations, and to centralize. Ie to converge. For
those who've studied the intentions of the founding free masons,
they kept their commonwealths divergent by splitting up into more
localized common causes. This might seem on it's face to be less
efficient and slower, but it was less corruptable. Things were not
perceived then as having gone past the point of no return. There
were no Congresspeople as now talking about the new freshman
classes presuming laws like the Patriot Act were supposed to be
permanently set in stone like the 10 Commandments. I've listened
to honest Congresspeople speak of sundowning laws when after
their effects were experienced, they caused more harm than good.
Do you see it happening anymore that bad mistakes in passing bad
laws are later corrected ? We're likely to have Federal Reserve Act,
Prohibition, the infamous Patriot Act with us until the USA crumbles.
That's NOT evidence of a Democratic republic. It is evidence of a
national insecurity state owned by foreigners not responding to us.When the USA didn't have a surplus of people, we did have several
political parties. Now, with the Corporatist domination fueled by a
foreign central bank fueling an M.I.C. run amok since 1965 in Vietnam,
the Corporatists seek Monopoly control over all Americans. The 2
original parties have the same name they did, supposedly the same
general approach,but they're only a shadow of their original selves.
it's closer to the truth to ask which one of them is or is not beholden
to a Corporate lobbied special interest hovering above them, and a
conflict of interest in serving the public & the USA before they serve
themselves. N.Y.penal laws call that Bribery. However the doublespeak
disguises it amounts to Rewarding Official Misconduct by it's m.o.. W/
the 2 parties being dominated & synthesized into one Corporatist Party,
we've had their encroaching domination since they killed Lincoln. It's
only now we see the final result of it with candidates that should be
applying for a job as circus clowns. If the advent of Corporate TV
media has done anything, it's made the USA into a replica of Roman
coliseum circus maximus. They too controlled their surplus population,
and their civilization on the decline no longer producing anything with
sport, bread/wine, invading countries to Pirate their wealth for Bribes.When you can count on 2 hands the number of H.R.Reps/Senators
who have a national reputation for voting for We the People first,
instead of having a designer label on them marketed by a Corporate
interest, then you can understand why no Democrats have mounted
a primary challenge to pinocchiobama, and why Republicans have such
a bad reputation for misusing a viable Western political attitude to back
oligarchies, and their encroachment seeking to return us to the feudal
order, which is only another form of slavery. It's why our economy is
so crapped out, and so many people are out of work. Despite what
Nobama tells you about prosperity being only around the corner IF
and Bachman too, they're both puppets in a Show Biz media farce.I recall as Palin was running toward the oval office, MSNBC sponsored
her pitch: " Why don't we drill for more Oil already in our back yard ? "
And media idiocy like: " God wants us to send our children to die as
heroes in Iraq to secure Oil " But I never heard the stupid bitch, or any
other candidate, run on a platform of making the USA independent of
foreign oil, foreign banks, foreign products, and their NWO wannabes.
So now they've got an idiot like Bachman to take the idiot we know as
Palin's place. Wow ! What an improvement. Now we've got another
stupid bitch greedy for EZ money w/ speaking engagements to keep
their ratings as Palin did. And now we've got a big Corporatist puppet
like Romney proud he's their bought stooge. I wouldn't support Ron
Paul for President, but I do support his 3 main stances. No offense
meant to the man. I was a citizen of Texas once, and voted there. (Once
a citizen always a citizen. Same with Colorado. I'm a Westerner.) The
world is a smaller place in the 21st century, and as my true friends
have said: I think big, and I climb high. For that I DO NOT support the
status quo out of respect for the USA. What I do support is a 3rd, 4th,
and 5th party., And the idea if you can't afford satellite TV service, trade
it in exchange for charitable donation to support the SPCA. Palin can
drill in Wasilla for oil. Support a Sanders/Kucinick ticket as a primary
challenge to Nobama/Biden. Unless you think your country isn't worth
having honest, quality, upright men w/ a spine in power., Deserving only
mediocrity & a decline like your bank card as it runs out of credit/credibility. - 9 months ago

100% of rational people would not only never want to see this nit wit run for any office ever again but would appreciate it if the media would stop covering her. With every appearance that is televised, her already mentally challenged followers lose an IQ point. They can not afford to lose too many more or they will be reduced to slobbering lumps capable only of involuntary brain function.

What do you mean "will be" reduced? For they know not what they do (or promote).
To operate on one level, and no interest what-so-ever of even looking for a better view, oh the arrogance. But confidence is not a problem for they are all knowing. They have faith.

That is only part of it, imo. She really thinks she's a crusader for the cause (along with tadd) and will continue until it is a negative in her life overwhelming the "enrichment". She has it strong in her, the spirit that is, ha ha. But they are both clueless shallow thinkers.

The irony here is that had she remained Gov. of Alaska she would likely be the front runner right now. I knew as soon as she quit to go on the lecture circuit she would talk her way out of contention.
She should have kept her ass up north and proven the old axiom that it is better to be silent and thought a fool then to open your mouth and prove it.
She would have been great for the comedic value but with Ms. Bachmann and Mr. Perry in the race we really are not lacking for a good laugh.

Like a bent penny, she'll always turn up. She just needs to hit the trail and stir things up again.
That's what Sarah is good for. Her message of hate travels far and wide to find her. It's like old friends that haven't seen one another for a while!
The MSM will not show the true depth of the hatred that the Tea Hadists have burned deep within their souls for our President. They're afraid that thinking people may be swayed by what is out here in the world of those who fear Mr. Obama and what he represents to them and then where would their "money story" come from?
You can't sell commercial time if there's no contentious division between the voters, now can you?
Now here we are with a new form of disrespect for the President. The Speaker of the House tells the President that he can't come before the House to deliver a speech on his new jobs program. And what would a peson who sees this lack of respect that Boenher has shown the President do but encourage THEM to be just as disrespectful to the Office of President, too!
Hatred spreads like an epidemic of disease. It can be just as rampant as fear.
When will it all end? How will it all end?
