Fox News Pressures Romney to Let Human Disaster Sarah Palin Ruin his Convention

Video @ link~



Panelist Michelle Fields of The Daily Caller claimed that the Romney people don’t want Palin because she will outshine Romney, and Bill O’Reilly offered the most crackpot solution ever.

O’Reilly said, “You can give the governor of Alaska a platform on a day that Mitt Romney isn’t speaking. You could have her rally the tea party folks who adore her, and what’s the downside of that? They don’t even have to see each other really.”

Fox News needs her to speak at the convention. The Romney people need her to stay far, far away. The main reason why she is not invited is because Romney holds Palin up as an example of what not to do when selecting a running mate. The Romney campaign has made it very clear that they think Sarah Palin was a total disaster.

It is clear that Fox News wants Palin speaking at the convention. So far Mitt Romney has caved to every right wing demand, but a speaking slot for the Alaska lunatic who trashed him during the GOP primary might be too much.

In the end nobody should be surprised if spineless Mitt caves to Roger and Rupert, and gives Sarah the Obama Stalker 15 more minutes of undeserved fame.

Romney's campaign will implode with her, and Obama will laugh all the way to a second term.

The Snowdrfit Grifter and Ron Looney Tunes Paul, along with Etch-A-Sketch man and all their wacky followers bashing each other in the parking lot. Hell, I'd watch that on PPV.

And Romney should also invite Michele Bachmann to speak also. She could better "explain" her recent accusations that Grover Norquist and those who singed his pledge are helping the "Muslim Brotherhood". This would also be the prefect place for her to admit she also signed the pledge and should be investigated along with everyone else she has so far accused, which seem like most of the republican party in congress! Heck she might even throw Romney into the fire also

As long as she is reciting from a prepared script,
Palin puts on a good show for her base.
She can hit ALL the code words,
and can energize and unify the ignorant masses of conservatives.
Without a Game Changer, RMoney is toast, even WITH Black Box Voting Machines.
The margin will be too wide to steal.
A well scripted appearance of Momma Grizzly at the Republican Convention
could be turned into VOTES.




OTOH, if Palin is banned from the convention,
it could split the Republicans,
and certainly motivate the more ignorant conservatives to either stay home,
or vote for some 3rd Party.



I would prefer to see ignorance, bigotry, and nationalism
NOT be given face time on the national stage.
Palin deserved obscurity,
not publicity.


You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their rhetoric, promises, or excuses.

18. I have no doubt that she'll be given a speaking slot at the convention

She was her party's VP nominee four years ago. She has a following. Bachmann has become totally radioactive, so even though she was a candidate for the nomination this time, she'll be hidden away and Sarah will be given a spot.
