Sarah Palin: “Going Rogue”

The AP reports that Sarah Palin’s memoir will be published on Nov. 17.
The title is “Going Rogue” — an allusion to the in-fighting between Team Sarah and the McCainiancs that broke out in the last weeks of the campaign.
Should be quite a compelling read.

I’m going to pre-order mine today!
Next on the deck:
‘Going Rogue Cheddar‘!!
I’m IN.
And # 1 too.
or # 3 OR #813925 & 6…
Anyway, can’t wait 4 the book. Hope she lays it all out.
Governor Palin is making all the right moves — speaking out on public issues and now her account of the 2008 presidential campaign. I look forward to supporting her for president in 2012.
I can’t find it on Amazon…stay tuned….
Great! I’ll order a bunch for Christmas gifts.
I hope it’s good. Conservative leaders have to be very careful right now.
Just in time for Christmas …
Adding it to my wish list now.
BTW what’s the pool up to now on when the Liberals start investigating if the Governor wrote every word in her book?
That’s our girl. Wish she’d saved the title for her presidential memoirs. Cause I have a hunch she’ll go rogue before 2012.
Ok, pilgrims – continue buying Michelle’s book(s) for Christmas gifts and treat yourself to Sarah’s.
The selfish critter that I am, the first gift purchased is always for me. Get it out of my system and then I’m good to go.
I can’t wait to read this book. Should be quite a revealing piece. Sarah does not mince words. This will be a terrific book.
I just put aside $30 in a shoe box so I can go buy it when it comes out.
I LOVE Sarah Palin! I really believe she’s the real deal.
Can she win in 2012? Well, I don’t know. I will NOT support anyone who might blow it. The only thing that matters is voting Odumbo out of office!
If she lets K. Couric and C. Gibson get the best of her again, I have to support someone else.
I expect the all the publishing arrangements haven’t been made yet, vickisoup. Politico notes that the original pub date was to be in the Spring, but was moved to Nov for the usual big holiday book-gifting sales. And you know that Amazon will want a wanna cash in on those mega $$$.
Politico “Going Rogue” story
I will definitely put this on the wish list! Go Sarahcuda, Go!
One question for diehard conservatives: what makes you think Sarah Palin is really one of you? Before she was thrust on the national stage, she said W needed an exit strategy from Iraq. On Team McCain she went on and on about how those greedy rich people were bad for main street. Now that the only future she has in national politics is to play to the base, she is … playing to the base.
My own thoughts are that she was never that interested in conservative thought or policies, but conservatives accepted her as their own for the sole reason that liberals hated her so much.
If you can show me any evidence that what her ghost writer is posting on Facebook now is consistent with her beliefs pre-2008, you could change my mind. Otherwise, I think she’s a fraud. And she’s playing you like a piano.
Nice try, RSS. Better than your usual.
Palin isn’t a rigid ideologue, so there will be some on the far right who will be disappointed.
On behalf of all, we truly appreciate your deep, sincere concern and are deeply moved by it, laddie.
Looking forward to reading it. Hopefully, it will provide some insight about her that wasn’t there before.
My Sarah, is what I would like for my Rebublic to be. I might suggest to the r’s up there, that means the rino’s, Sarah is here to stay. I, my home, will vote for her in 2012 if she runs. The gals a comen! Deal with it d’s!
L
What in your pea brain makes you think that anyone on here would have a problem with either of those two ideas?
You lost my interest right about here.
However, I find it funny that you call her a fraud, yet defend Obama who lies to Congress, embellishes anecdotes and break campaign promises with both impunity and gusto.
Say, have you denounced Byrd yet?
I bet most on here think that an exit strategy is necessary for any war or military action.
And I bet most on here believe that bad, greedy people (whether or not they are rich) are bad for an economy and society.
Do you believe that good, non-greedy rich people are bad?
Hi, Kingfish, just wanted my comment next to yours.
*blush*
Great title! And I like spacey’s suggestion about Rogue Cheddar.
I’m suprised you would have any interest at all in the lad’s gruntings, John.
I just snicker and mock ‘em!
And what proof do you have that her Facebook is ghostwritten? See, its not hard to make blind accusations.
Do you seriously think she writes that stuff? How amazing that everything that comes out of her mouth off the cuff sounds like rambling gibberish, but her prepared statements are so cogent.
Obama is a politician and a douchebag.
Robert Byrd is a racist who obviously hates black people even though he gets a 100% rating from the NAACP.
I like the handle cuz whenever I see it hereabouts I have a reason to cite a quote from another Kingfish from a great 50s TV comedy:
“in the words of that great American poet Ralph Walnut Emerson, you all has my infernal gratitude.”
What makes you think Obama is one of you die hard liberals? Is it the tendency towards socialism? The free ride mentality? The soft on terrorist approach to diplomacy?
My thoughts are that you liberals accepted Obama, a man with virtually no credentials (particularly when compared to Palin), but swallowed his now laughable campaign promises and “hope and change” mantra, and, of course, because he is partly black.
If you can show me any evidence that a) she has a ghost writer, and b) Obambi didn’t, then let’s see it. Otherwise, both you and she are frauds. Can you show that his socialist tendencies are not drawn from his pre-2008 associations with the likes of Wright, Ayers, ACORN and the Chicago political machine?
Obama is playing the Democrats like a cheap violin, but the rest of the country is waking up to this charlatan.
she = he. My mistake in the second to last paragraph.
Already 1.5 million on order! Add one more because I’m getting my copy ASAP.
Go Sarah!!!
Nope, because (sing along) “he’s off to see the Wizard, the Old Grand Wizard of Dem”.
The election has been over for almost a year and liberals are still scared of Sarah Palin. And she is not even holding an office right now.
I say we do a “buycott” with this book like we did a “buycott” for Whole Foods in St. Louis and other cities.
CRUSH the opposition on their turf!
Make it a better bestseller than JugEars books.
They don’t want to report the vastness of numbers at the 9/12 rally.
Not even Bill O’Reilly will concede that.
Aren’t book sales easier to track????
The GOP establishment (you know, the RINOs who orchestrated the past two election disasters and still run the party) are throwing more dirt and venom at Sarah than anyone else. McCain and Bush just don’t like her. That’s a badge of honor in my book.
Actually, he’s stuck on stupid and Vitter.
My original thoughts on Palin were that she showed great promise but needed to wait several years. In brief, I agreed with Ann Coulter which probably gets me in trouble right there. And I really hate getting my hopes up. But desperate times call for desperate measures and I am beginning to think she can pull this off. If nothing else, utterly shake up the Republican Party. I mean, good grief, look at what the Republican establishment is offering us: RINO Romney, Open Borders Huckabee, more Bush relatives. They may even try to put McCain through again.
So yes, I’ll be there when the book is out. And while I’m not fully persuaded — yet — if Palin can’t pull this off for conservatives and country, who the heck can? I’m open to suggestions.
give em hell sarah. the two reasons that dufus mccain lost was acorn corruption voting in close states, and conservatives stayed home rather than vote for mcamnesty. look at the results, obie didn’t increase the vote, but he did alter it. white middle class voters didn’t vote, and black voters voted twice. it balanced and obie won. 2010 is closer than you think.
You know how the old saying goes: When you start receiving flak, you know you’re over the target.
Even is she is content being a major player and “kingmaker” in lieu of being a candidate, that’s a big plus.

You Go Missouri girlfriend!!!!
My feelings as well. I think Culture of Corruption is more like required reading for all. I have three extra copies of COC to give as Christmas stocking stuffers. Sarah’s book will be to satisfy my curiosity. Kinda like a getting to know you better thing.
*Should be a good read; I’m just glad she’s not “Going Galt”, as we need her in the fight.
*My advice to her would be to think more in terms of “crock pot”, and less in terms of “microwave”; Lay the foundation out for her plans to get the country back on the right path in slow, measured steps, and avoid the instant gratification the MSM would get in her having to respond to all the nonsensical bovine scatology they will surely throw her way.
*In addition, she should be disuaded from the 3rd party route; That would only be Perot redux, leading to more of what is killing the country, P-BO and his Communist Clown Cluster.
*There are a handful of Republicans left that could wrest control of the GOP and rid the party of the rat bastard RINO’s; They include Palin, DeMint, Pence, Blackburn, and Coburn; The list does not include Romney, Gingrich, Huckabee, Guliani and the like, all much like Bush/Rove, who have had a lot to do with putting the party in its’ current predicament; All the beltway corruption must go, regardless of party.
Now that’s some “going rogue” I can believe in!
Just read the article in Vanity Fair about Sarah written by Levi Johnson. What a nasty hit piece! He made her sound dreadful. Anyone else see it?
Levi Johnston + Vanity Fair = Zero Credibility
Ayefirmative! Sarah may not be a true conservative, but she’s a hell of a lot more pallatable than anybody in either the Dem or Dem lite party. And if she wasn’t hamstrung by that liberal loon McCain, I might have voted for that GOP candidacy. (Ooh, methinks Thomas might have wet himself a bit there.)
Levi Johnston is scum.
Total and complete scum.
Historic scum.
LOL@ the cheese maverick. You’re so funny. In a special way.
Oh, man, this is gonna be good…
The sad part is she should have been the top of the ticket from the start.
D’s and R’s are both scared to death of her. Republicans are as much to blame for the bad press as the D’s.
I doubt highly those jagweeds got the best of her. I suspect it was more of a McCain handler kind of thing that caused her the problems with them.
I agree. I don’t think she was “allowed” to be herself in those ridiculous interviews. No doubt the McCain losers roped her in.
John McCain. What a milquetoast. I can’t believe he emerged as the candidate.
Whatever. Sarah is free now to be herself. Look out you Demonrat Socialists, she’s gonna wipe you out!
You were talking about Obama, right?
I’ll take a long look and see how she stacks up on Constitutional issues, as always. As Americans, we have to start taking the Constitution seriously. Simply vetoing a bill because some advisor told her it was unconstitutional ain’t gonna be enough to cut it.
So far, she’s still a Republican. That is NOT a positive in my book.

RWR, One of “them” who?
Ya know, RSS, I have the same thoughts about Howard Dean…but oh well, he is not only a doctor, but a paragon of rational thought and civility!
/sarc
On cue, the left wing freak show is already dissing the book. Lots of nasty stuff on the Internet now…and no, I’m not going to dignify it by posting their juvenile links, etc…
I bet they’ll be doing a 2nd print run in no time.
Speaking of frauds, how about Obama? He’s the biggest fraud that played all you IDIOTS who voted for him. For example, NAME ONE CASE that he represented IN COURT while he was a LAWYER that anyone knows about…hmmm??? I’m waiting???
Nothing. He has never managed anyone, met payroll, or has a proven track record. Also, who exactly paid for his college and lifestyle? We still don’t know.
One of the liberals, of course. She really hasn’t taken any prominent stances on her own in favor of the Constitution, and there are a number of others that are questionable, such as:
* We suspended campaign to work on economic reform.
* Predatory lenders got us into the housing crisis.
* McCain’s experience makes him best judge in economic crisis.
These are just three, and they were taken in support of a liberal candidate, so who knows what her real position on these matters is. If she tries to be conservative, there’s a good chance she’ll be hit over the head with these as well.
So there is, in fact, plenty of chance that she is one of THEM, and not one of us. It would be nice to be wrong about that, but until I know for sure, I’m withholding judgment.

Really? I’d settle for that. The members of Congress don’t even discuss whether or not the bills are constitutional any more, and I would imagine that of anybody dared bring it up on the floor is scorned as a crank.
-sarcasm-
I mean after all, isn’t is silly to think that the world hasn’t changed in the last 200 years? How can we possibly put our faith in policies that don’t reflect the realities of the world today? – end sarcasm-

HI RED STATE SKEPTIC–I base my support for Sarah Palin on her proven track record in her personal life and as governor of Alaska.
***
She isn’t one of the “sell out the taxpayers” rich liberal elite that infest both parties. She and her husband work for a living–with their own business. She went to (Horrors!) a state school like most of us did–probably a Morrell Act land grant college–not Harvaaard or Yale.
***
In her personal life as a young woman she played basketball for her high school. On a cracked ankle when they won it all that year. No wimping out when things got tough then.
***
She has had one husband her whole life. And she “walks the walk” as far as her anti-abortion views go. Trig got a chance at life and love–not a “left over cell clump” pile at an abortion clinic. No–it wasn’t convenient for her–but it was right with God. She didn’t send her daughter for an abortion either when she got pregnant early.
***
An Obama daughter probably would not have given birth to the child–as the Prez said, “She shouldn’t be punished with a baby”. What a fine respect for human life the Messiah and his lovely wife have.
***
As governor she sold the state’s private jet and takes commercial flights. She made proper state budget decisions for the benefit of the people. She fired the statehouse cook and did the job herself. She negotiated a better deal for Alaska with the big oil companies–AND GAVE THE MONEY BACK TO THE TAXPAYERS! Has this ever happened in your (or any other) state?
***
Sarah had 8 weeks to try to help win a lost election–she learned fast, was savaged by the Left Wing Press and all but the Fox News TV channel and conservative internet and radio sites. She was backstabbed by some in the McCain campaign. She was sandbagged by Katie Kourac and other biased reporters with EDITED OUT OF CONTEXT INTERVIEW tricks. Joe Biden’s outrageously incorrect statements were glossed over and ignored by the State Run Media as they got LEG TINGLES every time the Messiah spoke. And Sarah and McCain were rapidly closing the gap when the economy tanked and killed their chances.
***
Sarah Palin is a quick learner. She bailed as governor and is using the internet media quite effectively as she sets up the ducks for her shots. Every one has hit the target and drawn “democRAT” / liberal / socialist / statist / marxist / communist blood so far. She isn’t doing any Alamo type last stands anymore–she retreated into the woods and is picking off the enemy sniper style. She is the only real conservative with a chance to win in 2012. No RINO’s or Beltway Insiders need apply.
***
I hope the Republicans are smart enough to close off all the state primaries to non-republican voters. The independent and democratic crossover voters gave our pick to John McCain this way.
***
SARAH’CUDA for POTUS, JOHN BOLTON for VP. Draft CONDI RICE for SOS again. A AMERICA FIRST ticket–real hope and change–and the last chance for our country in 2012.
***
John Bibb
***
Settle for that if you like.
My point was that some advisor’s opinion isn’t the opinion that’s relevant. I want a president who thinks for herself, and arrives at her own conclusion after analyzing the issue and the Constitution herself. Does she or does she not know what the Constitution says? If she does not, then she is unfit for the office.

I know more than a few people who express themselves better with the written word than they do speaking.
I do think it’s indicative of your ideological mindset that you think the worst of Palin, yet Obama gets a pass for the exact same shortcomings.
How about just once, you stop taking everything the alphabet channels tell you at face value. A grain of salt could be a very eye opening experience.
Waiting for it!
Hopefully, Barnes and Noble and Books-A-Million will take down their big “Obama” displays and put Sarah there.
Read some of her history about how she came to hold the office of Governor. One part of it was taking on corrupt REPUBLICANS and cleaning house.
Party-first people would be against this (both Republican and Democrat).
Principle-first people, such as Conservatives applaud this!
Of course you need an exit strategy! Conservatives agree with this statement. We can’t police the area forever. Many Republicans would have us there forever.
…as are the greedy poor people, such as those demand entitlements, paid for by others.
The Bible says the “love of money is the root of all evil”. Pure capitalism must be tempered with principles.
There is nothing wrong with people who want to work hard, achieve success, and provide a better lifestyle for their family!
Seems to me that her history bears out her Conservative roots. Since she has thrown off the Republican-first handlers from the failed McCain campaign, she has returned to her roots. She isn’t playing anyone.
My own thought is that you were too lazy to actually learn about her past to determine her true thought or polices. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for me to refute “your thoughts”.
The reason liberals hate her is that she stands for principle. She kept her Down’s baby instead of killing it. She supported her daughter’s child, when those on the left want her to kill it. (Imagine, advocating killing your grandchild… like Obama did!)
tre,
You hung over?
The Obummer displays will double in size to try and distract people from real books. Going Rouge will be by the bathrooms tucked behind the childrens books.
And she’s tickling every one of my keys…….GO SARAH!
On the line of one of my favorite bumper stickers:
Piss off a liberal. Work hard, get rich, be happy.
That’s assuming it gets stocked at all.
oh no Rogue; what did you just do??
Somewhere, Thomas is sitting in a corner, rocking back and forth and telling his John McCain action figure, “Sssh, don’t you be upset. They just don’t know you like I do. We’ll show ‘em in 2012, though.”
Mmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmmmm!
Sarah ‘Cuda Palin!
Mmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmmmm!
You’re a complete idiot, John Deaux.
Screw you.
LOL
“My friends…”
Obama is a stupid, idiotic, moronic parrot whose political stature is based solely on talented teleprompter orations. He lacks substance, insight and experience. Obama is the most unprepared neophyte to ascend to the Presidency.
Obama won the presidency because he is black, he isn’t George W Bush, because democrats/liberals were going to vote for him anyway and because a select group of immature, selfish, narcissistic morons who call themselves conservatives decided that it would be a better thing to have a president obama for 4 to 8 years than the man they have a few petty political disagreements with.
Heh!
Announcer: Hey, Topper Harley, now that you’ve killed the bad guy and made the world safe for Democracy, what are you going to do to cash in on your new found fame?
Topper Harley: I’m goin’ to Disneyland!
Thomas,
I held my nose and voted McCain. Save your vitriol for the 0.2% that voted third party.
I plugged my ears & voted for Palin.
And make fun of people who rock back and forth holding dolls to the ones who actually do that. Deal?
So McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Lieberman, and MCCAIN-FEINGOLD are “a few petty arguments”??
Man, are you blind or something?

http://www.rightwingrocker.com
Yeah. Like me. I will proudly defend my Keyes vote against any assault.
Especially given the excellent job The One has done in waking the people up to the foolishness they have been tolerating over the last hundred years. Do you really think McShamnesty would have brought that about?

Thomas,
I was just having a little fun at your expense. Please don’t take too much offense.
Besides, Team O has the action figure market cornered.
Chris Cuomo called her book ‘Going Rouge’ on ABC this morning. When corrected, he actually said he liked his version better.
I’m sure he does. It fits with his preference of pink lace in the place of boxers or briefs.
John Deaux – I, too, voted for McCain ONLY because Ms. Palin was on the ticket. Thomas doesn’t seem to get the thinking about this.
Red State Skeptic said: “One question for diehard conservatives: what makes you think Sarah Palin is really one of you?”
As someone who lived all over Alaska for 30+ years, I can say with certainty she most certainly is. I know she is more in touch with the people than 99% of the politicians in Washington will ever be. Scares the hell out of you, huh? Another book by a conservative keeping liberal efforts off the bestseller lists. LOL!
