Kimberly GG,

Sorry you are sorry to hear it... I think she is the strong VALUES candidate... I think is a much stronger conservative than McCain was and had she been at the “top of the ticket” I think we would have seen conservative excitement in 2008 and maybe the election would have ended differently..

Hey,G.I. ,,,

Bump Dat! for Sarah,,,;0)

Can you give us any info on Maj.Cook ? ...

[rabscuttle385]

I think is a much stronger conservative than McCain was

It's not really hard to be more "conservative" than a liberal RINO like McCain.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Ping me too. I voted for HER, not HIM and I will do it again in a heartbeat. If it is something that she wants, it’s hers. Just not sure if she wants it. I think she will fight for Conservative causes, to help win back the House and Senate in 2010. What happens in 2012, who knows, we have a long way to go, but whatever Sarah decides to do I am behind her 100 percent

[davidosborne]

LOL.. that is true.. I think she is our IDEAL Candidate for 2012 for a LOT of reasons.. and I think we need to start organizing/supporting NOW.. to get momentum that will be needed in the PRIMARY... that will be the biggest hurdle for her since there will be a LOT of candidates surface in the primary.. and we don’t want a repeat of 2008 where the conservative wing of the party divides our vote among 3 or 4 conservative candidates which will result in a RINO getting the nomination of our party....

SARAH PALIN 2012 NOW !!! For America’s Sake !!

[davidosborne]

Put me on your list David. I’ll do whatever I can to help out.

[Kimberly GG]

Well David, I think you’re right....the election might have ended differently, but only because I believe she was a more “popular” conservative candidate. Still, I voted for Duncan Hunter instead of McCain and would do so again, instead of Palin, for the same reason. While I like much about Palin, I’m not willing to settle for a candidate who’s VALUES for this country includes any kind of amnesty for any illegal aliens. If that changes, I’ll ask to be added to your ping list ;) Regards.

Please put me on the list

[stockpirate]

I hope she doesn’t suppprt that! If so she loses my vote and support.

[davidosborne]

As you probably know I supported Duncan Hunter early on in the PRIMARY because I thought he was the best candidate... However just before the Florida Primary Duncan Hunter withdrew from the race and asked me to support Mike Hucakabee which I did... in the General Election I held my nose and voted for Mc-What’s-His-Name for President ONLY because Sarah Palin was on the ticket.. otherwise I probably would have just left that part of my balot blank.. but that is all history now.. it is NOT too early to start campaigning for Sarah Palin in 2012..

.. and we don’t want a repeat of 2008 where the conservative wing of the party divides our vote among 3 or 4 conservative candidates which will result in a RINO getting the nomination of our party....

That's an interesting take on the 2008 primary. I'm curious how you think that interpretation is correct. Many conservatives would say that there were no real conservatives in the running in 2008. John McCain wasn't a "real conservative" in the minds of most self-identified conservatives (and I agree with them). Mitt Romney wasn't a real conservative in the minds of many self-identified conservatives. (I generally disagree with them.) Rudy Giuliani certainly wasn't a conservative. Whether Ron Paul was a conservative is a topic that we could debate, but no one else would have had a clear claim to his supporters. Mike Huckabee had some following among self-identified religious conservatives, but his stands on immigration made him not a conservative in the minds of many self-identified conservatives. Few people really said that Fred Thompson was not a conservative, but his votes on campaign finance reform separated him from many conservatives.

For argument's sake, let's assume that Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, and Fred Thompson were the "true conservatives" in the race. What if all of their supporters had come together behind one of them? Would that candidate have won in Iowa? No - Would that candidate have won in New Hampshire? No - Would that candidate have won in South Carolina? No - Michigan? No - Florida? No

The things that a "true conservative" candidate must do to win are the same things that any other candidate must do. That candidate must build organization and appeal to Republican primary voters. If Sarah Palin wants to do that, she might be successful, but the notion that some conservative unity movement is going to propel her or anyone else into the nomination is not supported by history.

You might be right and you might be wrong..

Bottom Line with ME is that we support a CONSERVATIVE in the PRIMARY.. and if we lose in the General Election than so be it... I can live with that.. what really makes my blood boil is that the Republican Party nomminated a RINO and still lost....

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I’m not active enough to be on a ping list for Palin [unless it’s one ping a week maybe], but I do support her and will file your screen name as serious campaigner for Palin. God bless you and FRegards ....
