Palin advises Romney: ‘Go rogue’ and use Rev. Wright to attack Obama

Palin advises Romney: ‘Go rogue’ and use Rev. Wright to attack Obama


http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/05/22/palin-advises-romney-go-rogue-and-use-rev-wright-to-attack-obama/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheRawStory+%28The+Raw+Story%29

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney should “go rogue” and attack President Barack Obama for his former associations with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Marxists and radicals.

During an interview on Fox News on Monday, host Sean Hannity told Palin that he thought the president’s former pastor was “relevant” even though Romney had repudiated a proposal to use Wright in attack ads.

The half-term Alaska governor replied: “I thought so in 2008 and that’s why I went rogue, if you will, and disagreed with some of John McCain’s advisers when they said, no, a lot of these issues like past associations and Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers and those that helped shape Obama’s world view needed to be off the table and not discussed. I disagreed then, I disagree now.”





Hey Palin, didn't you try that in 2008 - how well did that work? You been enjoying your years as VP serving President McCain?

We had one decent year (his first) and after that we just sucked. The reason we sucked was that each week Kotite would have his clip board of plays and use those same plays over and over again - with very little success. After we got rid of him the NY Jets hired him and that was his absolutely worst year ever - probably because he had that same damn clipboard with the same tired plays that didn't surprise anyone.

So I would like to know how 'Going Rogue' is going to work because honestly, it's just Palin & the GOP going to their clipboard of tired plays that have been overused and doesn't shock anyone.

If McCain & Palin couldn't get elected after using these plays in 2008, what makes anyone thing they'll work again in 2012. If anything it makes the GOP look tired - that they don't have anything else to attack Obama with so instead of trying something new they stick with the tired.

The voters rejected these accusations in 2008. Maybe the GOP needs to reject Palin giving them strategy's. She's like the Rich Kotite of the GOP party.

As a followup, exactly how stupid is Sarah Palin?

But I agree that the Obama campaign should not use RMoney's weird cultish pseudo-christian racist polygamist religion against him. That would be wrong.

How many dead people have you baptised into the Mormon faith, Mittens? I mean dead people who were not Mormons and didn't want to be baptised as Mormons.

...Mooselini is exiled to her shotgun shack in Alaska...a mere footnote on the body politic. Instead of being a serious candidate that was within her grasp had she had the smarts and discipline to become a legitimate candidate, she's made herself irrelevant and always good for a laugh.

Maybe Sarah's a closet Democrat. There seems to be no other person who so consistently gives bad advice to rebubbalickins.

That's all he talks about on his show, day-after-day. And then he complains that Obama got a pass from the media on Wright.

Excellent idea. From the standpoint of us Democrats.

While you're at it, Mittens, pick up that book on "Navigation Dangers of the North Atlantic" by Captain Edward Smith and the navigator of the Titanic.

is Sarah Palin? I mean, I always joke about how I'm always right no matter what to friends and family, but like most of us, every now and then I stop and take stock of my life, or I look at how certain personal projects are going, and if things don't look good, I make adjustments. But not Sarah, or for that matter, republicans. "Tax cuts will always be the answer no matter what. We have to suggest what we tried in 2008 that didn't work as something to try in 2012 because by an extreme definition of conservatism, we're almost obligated to do so. To admit we were wrong would blow down the whole house of cards."
