With eye on 2012, Pawlenty launches PAC [RINO wants to hijack Tea Parties]
The Boston Globe ^ | 2009-10-01 | Foon Rhee

(snip)

The Freedom First PAC "will offer financial support to candidates committed to putting freedom before government, and provide organizational support for Pawlenty to promote his innovative, conservative message," according to today's announcement.

(snip)

The PAC's co-chairmen are William H. Strong, the vice chairman of Morgan Stanley, and Vin Weber, the former Minnesota congressman.

“There’s a big debate about the role of government and personal freedom raging at the moment, and I’m excited to help promote fresh new ideas, and new leaders.” Weber said in a statement. “Given Tim’s successful record in Minnesota, he’s in a unique position to harness that energy and help other candidates.”

-—”You guys are morons... Palin has no chance...”——

I remember a time when nobody though America would ever elect another Bush..............BARELY six years later, the Bush name was all the rage.

Palin as a nominee will start with 45% of the vote even if she loses Moderates/Independents 2-1, and she won't.

Why? Because true Moderates/Independents don't view her the way the Liberal Press and Democrats continue to SHOUT they do. And If the nation is struggling in three years, all the caricatures in the world won't make any more difference against her than they did against W.

“Shoot me, but wouldn’t a RINO be better than Obama?”

Precisely the thinking which got us Obama in the FIRST place!

“Palin has no chance...”

WHO’S SIDE ARE YOU ON??? Are you SERIOUSLY suggesting that instead of a proven, solid conservative that loves America with all their heart like Sarah Palin, we should have:

1. Huckabee—a guy who calls himself conservative, but governed like a liberal—raised taxes left and right, released a convicted rapist/murderer from prison, and provided sanctuary for illegal immigrants
2. Romney—a notorious flip-flopper on the issues and instituted the disasterous universal health care in Massachusetts (RomneyCare).
3. Pawlenty—has some good qualities but simply doesn’t have the name recongition , star power and inspiration that Sarah Palin has

We CANNOT go with back-stabbing RINOs. WE NEED SARAH PALIN!!!!!

If it isn’t obvious to you by now, Sarah is the ONLY one who can unseat Obama. Stop believing the feces that are coming out of the RNC and the MSM.

We don’t need a leader. We don’t need an organization. We just need good candidates who will represent the people.

To RINOs, the Tea Parties were created to serve them.

Gang, I live in Minnesota and he’s single-handedly stopped our Dim legislature from giving us a tax-hike high colonic for the last two years. Yes, he’s squishy on climate change but he’s no RINO.

That said, I still prefer Palin if she wishes to run.

Palin is the only one with a chance, Rinos can’t win, they are just DEM light. Palin is the only one with the conservative street cred to tap into the tea party energy without destroying it.

Shoot me, but wouldn’t a RINO be better than Obama?

The settle-for mentality is what got the GOP Ford against Carter, Bush 1 against Clinton, Dole against Clinton, McCain against upstart Obama.

Notice the pattern?

They all lost to the Democrat contender.

So, will they just settle-for again in 2012? If so, that is a sure loss. I would wager $1000 (if it were legal) that, if Pawlenty is the GOP nominee, Obama or Clinton wins in 2012.

Observing from next door, I’ve thought Pawlenty particularly ballsy in his dealings with the DFL. It’s not easy contending with Minnesota liberals, and he’s shown an ability to stand up to, defeat and sometimes outright humiliate them. He strikes me as being quite savvy.

No. I'd still take him over Rudy. Has to do with future options, and such.....

But Pawlenty’s problem is that he's going to come-off as the next Tom Ridge — the guy who everyone knows is running for V.P. from the moment he starts his Presidential campaign, four years early.

Pawlenty’s an okay guy, and not a total RINO - but he's uncharismatic, dry, and nobody knows who the heck he is outside of die-hard politicos. With the exception of Clinton, the public has been very familiar with our last several Presidents long before they got nominated.

And a lot of folks like me see him as a potential stalking horse - one of several GOP candidates who'll dilute the Conservative vote and give us another McCain as the East-Coast and Moderates consolidate their votes behind one candidate again.

Until I believe Palin can't win, she has my support.

Not being from next door, what is a DFL?

One glance at him was enough for me to know he is a loser.

If he or God forbid Huckaby are our candidates we lose.

Palin is the only one I am aware of at the moment that can dethrone the zero.

What a strange thing to say—unless, of course, you did not read the interview.

We can not allow the Rats or the SRM to pick our next presidential candidate as they did in ‘08.
