Sarah Palin said on Fox News Thursday that she has the "fire in my belly" for a 2012 presidential run - but that she also has "practical, pragmatic" concerns tied to her family.
Asked by host Greta Van Sustren if she has the "fire in the belly" for a run, the former Republican vice presidential nominee and Alaska governor responded, "that's a great question."
"I think my problem is that I do have the fire in my belly," said Palin, a Fox News contributor. "I am so adamantly supportive of the good traditional things about America and our free enterprise system and I want to make sure that America is put back on the right track and we only do that by defeating Obama in 2012. I have that fire in my belly."
"It's a matter for me of some kind of practical, pragmatic decisions that have to be made," Palin continued. "One is, with a large family, understanding the huge amount of scrutiny and the sacrifices that have to be made on my children's part in order to see their momma run for president. But yeah the fire in the belly -- it's there." |

There is only one place she has a fire and it is below her belly. I have to laugh at you so called WANNABE CHRISTIANS that think you and our Backwoods Bimbo is so right. There is not enough PROCTOLOGISTS available to get your heads pried out of your backsises. Oviously you know nothing factual about the sleezy one and the rest of her Money Grubbing family. You are the kind of people that make SNAKE OIL SALESMEN RICH !!

Well ... i am taking up a collection for Tums to put out that fire in her belly as our country needs the smartest and brightest right now and for those of us who live in Gods country the thought of her heading to AZ is all good.

$arah Palin does not have the intestinal fortitude to be President of the United States. She tucked her tail and ran from the Alaska Governorship at the first sign of family scandal, and she will do the same to the country.

I would support her a solid 100% since she is just what this once great country needs to get itself righted again. As to you who thinks she is too dumb to serve. She will be able to hire over 600 to advise and prepare her on the issues and she will them make an informed decision. I ask you, do you really want another four years of Obama's crap.....and can you afford it?

She has good conservative principles but so do lots of other people. She can't take the heat of being president and she would do us all a favor by staying out of the race and letting Romney get the nomination.

Quitter couldn't finish her term as Gov of AK, largely because of the criticism and such, and she honestly expects folks to vote her in as President?... hahahahahaha

why are people so negative. I would like to see the negative people stand against constant negativity as Sarah Palin has.

This stupidity makes me embarrassed to be Alaskan. She has ZERO intellectual curiosity & has no clue about anything a President has to handle. I'd have to evacuate if she even became our Gov. again, let alone a President.

Dummies...cant even friggin spell Pundit or Quitter...keep your uneducated opinions to yourselves...You cant hang with Alaskans!

...whom obviously are too stupid to spell quitter, and have no idea about why she resigned as Governor here in Alaska. Sarah has more balls than One Big Ass Mistake, America (OBAMA) ever had...and since she has none, puts him in the negative. She has more courage in the tip of her pinkie than any liberal out there. GO Barracuda, Go!!!

That's not fire in your belly, that's an ulcer. You will have one once you get on the campaign trail and have to answer questions without having the questions before hand. I suggest you look before you leap.

Forget running in 2012 Palin. You just don't have the brains or skills to run anything, let alone this country. You're too dumb!!!!!!

Great story--Momma Grizzly announced her son's marriage and we see pictures of Momma Bear only. Then we hear about the fire in her belly--drag out that decision until the last minute or when the money dries up. So much for the bride being a nursing student--we heard that Bristol was one too. Only problem is that the bride is also Trig's full time nanny and travels with him to all the speeches--and most people are divided about whether Track and the new bride are actually Trig's parents; whether it is Bristol and they lied about the date that Trig was born so that it would seem impossible; or whether Todd is his Daddy but Sarah isn't the Momma. Poor girl-no mention of her when Track was shipped off to live with his real Daddy in Michigan or when he went into the military rather than off to jail--but so much for long time girlfriends. Poor Levi used to be mentioned on the campaign trail as Bristol's long time boyfriend--and then Ben--then Gino and now the Massey brothers.

better watch out america, once a quiter always a quiter, she will drop out if it looks to embarassing for her, and she is into money so she would not last.

Fine in the belly but no brains in the head.

Please don't even consider... you've already expressed your self as a "QUITER" you quit on Alaska's highest position. No knowledge to serve our great country all you'll be is a "laughing STOK" with your "dumb" comments, with out making any sense!
