Bleh. Just more of the same. We’ve gotta start considering different approaches to this problem.

We need a new Speaker of the House. Boehner needs to go.

My favorite replacements would be either: Allen West or Sara Palin

Right. Sarah Palin, who did absolutely nothing to either be a candidate herself or support another candidate and shape opinion.

Sorry, I thought she was wonderful the first time around, but I think she’s bailed on doing the hard work and is moving into the personality level. That’s ok, she can be a personality, but she’s not going to be a serious political force ever again.

At this point, I’m leaning towards Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin. At least he has some fight in his belly... Beat the snot out of the unions and fought back against a recall election. Most Republicans would have surrendered.

She’s pretty much the only one left that I trust. I’m frankly to the point of wishing she’d lead the way to a new, genuinely conservative party.

The GOP, already champing at the bit for amnesty and homo-marriage crap, can go burn in hell where it belongs.

“But... but... but... she’s just too darn DIVISIVE!”

Yeah, she is. She divides conservatives from RINOs and their fellow liberals.

Palin doesn’t seem to want it. She hasn’t taken any official leadership roles. She hasn’t run for office. She only occasionally shows up for commentary lately.

People need to quit hoping for someone to change things when it seems as though that person doesn’t want the job.

When Palin was just an average citizen and saw problems, she didn’t hope for someone else to come in and do something, she started doing it herself. She ran for school board, then mayor... and so on.

Follow the example she set which is very different than hoping she leads.

Somehow I am not surprised that people who listen to Greta like Palin.

I would greatly prefer Sarah to Obama as President.

However, IMO if she had been the nominee she would have presided over a landslide defeat of historic proportions and perhaps have lost the GOP control of the House.

I have been forced to recognize the unpleasant fact that most of my fellow American don’t agree with me.

I have no idea what’s wrong with them, the fools. :)

Sarah Palin is a TV commentator and sometimes realityTV personality (along with he daughter). She is not the leader of the Republican party in any way, shape or form. She makes good money doing what she currently does and I am sure she will stick with it.

Meh....I’m not gonna get on board that train. She had her chance, she demurred. Cheerleader - yes...candidate - NO.

We have to retake this country; it will require ruthlessness, cunning and connivance. She is not the one.

I wonder if she would be offered the chairmanship of the GOP. That would be a sign that republicans want real change. Of course, for her it would be a step down, especially in pay.

Love Sarah, wish she would have stuck with it. But now, let her enjoy life, she made her fortune, and she has the Liberals and the MSM to thank for it. Concentrate on your Conservative candidates for Congress, get the Rinos out.

Right now the Republican party doesn’t have a leader.

In fact they never had one before the election either.

The leader they need is Newt Gingrich.
Newt is smarter by half again as the best of those mentioned.

The Begich-D Senate seat in AK (formerly Stevens-R) is up in 2014. The only reason this seat is in 'Rat hands is because of phony corruption charges against the late Ted Stevens, which were eventually proven to be totally unfounded.

If Sarah Palin wants to remain relevant, she should run for that seat. She has tons of campaign money in SarahPAC, and winning another statewide election would be sweet revenge on the 'Rat bastards that forced her to resign the governorship with their frivolous ethics complaints.

Scott Walker or Col West. They both have a spine.

I still like her a lot, but when it came time this election cycle to buck up or stay in the truck, she stayed in the truck. I don’t think she wants to be a politician anymore. Doubt we’ll see her run for anything again, ever.
