I'm a Palin lover. I remember Ronald Reagan and to me if Reagan was a women he would be like her.
I'm 57 and before I knew that he was a running for president, he was a actor and he was my favorite male actor. When he became president I never got enough of him speaking. I feel they same about Sarah. She is what America means to me. (Same as Reagan) Like Reagan she has common sense.
Like Reagan she is hated but even more because of her pro life stand.
I'm a man but I do not know of a GOP man right now with her guts! But then again her strength comes from the LORD!
If someone else wins for the GOP in 2012 I will support he or she, if they are Conservative but it the will not be the same if it is not President Sarah Palin (AKA:Reagan in women)
You are in good company! I believe Michael Regan wrote a column a while back saying something to the effect of “welcome back Dad I didn’t expect you to be wearing a dress!” LOL
Campaigns can change candidates. Romney was more conservative as a candidate for President than he was as governor of Massachusetts, and more conservative at the end of his Presidential campaign than he was at the beginning. Arguably, Romney is more conservative than Huckabee or McCain.
I know all too well the type of political figure that you refer to. Romney may — or may not — be of that type.
That's a good point. Sarah should have drastically increased the size of the state government before leaving. What was she thinking?/s
That is a picture perfect description of Romney, even down to party loyalty, he dropped his Republican registration in the 1980s because of Reagan, between 1989 until 1993 when he re registered Republican, all of his donations and fund raising went for liberal Democrat candidates, and we all know that he is all over the place when it comes to the rank and file and his ideas.
I think that you can admit that post 65 describes Romney to a tee.
Here, here. Romney is persona non Republican.
Nobody still thinks Romney is any use to Repubs, do they ? Can we just agree to never discuss Romney the flip-flopper.
We know we don’t want a RINO.
Hey post 67, are you calling me a racist / sexist ?
SmokinJoe, your short posts aren’t that great either.
“Huh ? “
and
“Where do you get off posting this garbage ?”
Joe, regarding my population example, Nigeria is not in the U.S., I was comparing 2 U.S. states. Managing banana republics is quite different from managing a U.S. state and would be comparing apples and oranges.
There are many well respected, nationally known conservatives who share my view.
If Sarah is the Repub nominee, I’ll vote for her.
Amongst Repubs and conservatives there are those who very staunchly support Sarah and those who do not. But we all are conservatives. And the left-wing is laughing at us fighting each other, being rude to each other, and not wanting to respectfully listen to each other’s opinions. Are we all not conservatives ? Should we insult each other ?
It’s been implied by some here that I am a racist, yet no one knows what race I am, or anything about my family and friends or my life. Is that what Conservatism is now, let’s single out people who don’t like our candidate and label them as racists or idiots ?
Everyone, I appeal to your sense of decency, let us give sensible and calm deliberation to our candidate discussions, lest we become what we stand against.
Romney is not ideal but he may end up as the nominee.
Judging by your non response, you don’t seem to know much about the guy.
Don’t say ‘we’ when addressing me.
Get some discernment - and learn to read. YOU ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE! Cult of deception has it’s toll, I see.
Do you have reliable sources for your claims against Romney?
Of course I do, you have six years here and you never learned anything about the guy, yet you like him as a candidate?
Not to mention that he had to deal with serious run-ins with real-life Communist agitators -- which, as you note, seasoned him for his later dealings with the Russians.
And he spent years on GE's payroll, traveling around the country speaking to groups of employees -- he wrote his own stuff -- and that's how he learned to connect with normal people.
I value your support of Palin, and you'll score more points with people on the fence if you can speak of her accomplishments and skills rather than her oratory and presence.
Even on that point it's best to have a valid point of comparison. If you want to compare her oratory with Reagan's it's best to start when Reagan was her age, with his Eureka College commencement address (1957). Read the speech: sure, there's oratory and presence -- but there is also a mature and well-conceived theme to the address, ideas that the later Reagan would put into practice.
It's really not fair to compare Sarah Palin's offerings even to that college commencement address. Perhaps it's just a sign of the times, but Sarah Palin's speeches have much more in common with the "gotcha" style of modern punditry, than they do with Reagan's focus on the Big Ideas.
It's a weakness Sarah Palin has to work very hard to address.
No, she doesn't.
In 2008, in the Florida primary, I voted for Romeny instead of McCain or Huckabee.
“
She doesn’t have to do one more thing and she will be in the history books as an old time great! “
You sound like an Obamista. Accomplishments matter. She may get them but to say that she is an “old time great” already based on nothing more than potential is silly and smacks of childish fanboyism. As of now she has a solid record but not one that shows her to be an all-time great.
