Sarah Palin: ‘Is a Title and Campaign Too Shackle-y?’

[^_^ 5,021]

A Palin presidency: Too “shackle-y?”

That’s what Sarah Palin suggested on Fox News’ “On The Record with Greta VanSusteren” tonight, saying that she’s concerned jumping into the 2012 presidential race will muffle her message.

“Is a title worth it?” she asked, rhetorically. “Does a title shackle a person? Are they someone like me who’s maverick? I do go rogue and I call it like I see it and I don’t mind stirring it up in order to get people to think and debate aggressively.”

“Is a title and a campaign too shackle-y?,” she continued. “Does that prohibit me from being out there, out of a box, not allowing handlers to shape me and to force my message to be what donors or what contributors or what pundits want it to be? Does a title take away my freedom to call it like I see it and to affect positive change that we need in this country? That’s the biggest contemplation piece in my process.”

Palin expressed a concern about “being caricatured” if she runs, and asked again “whether a title is needed to make a difference or someone can be rogue, can be maverick, can be passionate about issues and can get people to think very wisely about issues.”

Are they someone like me who’s maverick?

She might benefit from the use of a teleprompter.

How will a teleprompter help her get over her fear of caricature?

Might save her from using the same 3 cliches over and over and over.... She doesn't run because first and foremost, she wouldn't win. You can say that taking the presidency would be a paycut for her, but that is very shortsighted. Look how much Bill Clinton has made since leaving office.....

She should run with Donald Trump - they are both publicity whores.

“Is a title and a campaign too shackle-y?,” she continued.

Which "title" is she talking about?

If all that being President of the United States means to her is a 'title', then she really isn't qualified for the position. It's about responsibility and decision making, not about having a 'title'.

Bout time "The One" starts living up to his office then.

Spouting gibberish is not maverick. It's stupid.

OMG it never stops. Constant woman bashing. The poor woman is unemployed, not running for anything and she gets endlessly bashed for being in the public eye.
