I think the GOP is welcome to join (us) conservatives whenever they’re ready.
Well said. The same Whino's have been doing their level best to trash Palin since the election too.
I won't pretend to know if Palin's running or not in 2012 as I really just don't care at this point in time. The next Presidential election is 3 years and 5 months away. That's a lifetime in politics and I suspect anyone who's "running" now isn't going to end up in office then.
I will say this though: I'm a Conservative first. I left the Republican Party back in 1991, and I refuse to vote for anyone that looks like a "moderate" or "mainstream" (liberal media labels) "Republican" in 2012. If the Republican Party wants my vote, they're going to have to put up a fiscally conservative, tax cutting, smaller government, pro-economic growth, drill-here-drill-now candidate in order to get it.
It's just that damn' simple.
