Vet, why do you insist on promoting someone who is not running?

A helluvalot of us love Sarah but your wasting a ton of time and effort on a non-candidate.

Push for her candidacy or find someone who IS running and jump on their bandwagon.

Even today poll numbers show that most Americans are less conservative than the beltway when it comes to things like health care and unions

Did this guy really mean this, or is he on another planet?

What the hell do you care how other people spend their time?

Sorry to disappoint you, but a lot of us have done our homework on these candidates and won’t be jumping on their bandwagons any time soon.

Then former California Governor Ronald Reagan waited until November 13, 1979 to declare his candidacy for the 1980 election. Were his supporters “wasting a ton of time and effort on a non-candidate” back then? If not, how am I different from them? I was in Army Intelligence at the time, writing reports for then President Carter, so I could not campaign for any candidate. Later on, I did similar work for President Reagan, and the difference was like night and day, believe me. The difference between Mr. Obama and a president Palin will be even more glaring.

Ok. I'm a Perry fan, when is Sarah getting in? Seriously, we play with the cards we are dealt......I'm thinking this Palin stuff is water under the bridge.....

I’m sorry if I confused you, but I don’t have any special knowledge of when Sarah Palin will get into the race.

If Rick Perry is the best choice we’re given in this election, we’ll lose no matter who wins.

Yeah, but then some asshat will come and remind us that you can’t wait that long this time, because of the filing deadlines.

Of course, nobody’s talking about Sarah actually waiting until the day Reagan declared, but you can never underestimate the desire of many to appear all-knowing on the interwebnets.

She said her decision would be made between now and the beginning of October. I don’t like waiting either, but the world won’t end if we have to wait another month. In the meantime, Rick and Willard can have a nice purse fight for all of us to watch.

I give up, some of you are unreachable.

If Sarah enters I will support her without reservation. So will many on this forum, I believe a strong plurality.

That being said, untill the field is established, I neither promote anyone unconditionally nor do I ruthlessly bash the competition in the hopes that my #1 choice will enter the race.... the exception being Romney, Paul, Huntsman and Gingerich because regardless, they are unacceptable to me and probably always will be.

More than a few in the Palin camp are acting just like Mittophiles and Paultards and I hate it. It almost makes me ashamed to be in the same camp. Sarah probably would be ashamed as well.

Build, don’t destroy.

Listen to what Governor Palin is saying about our country. If you do, you won’t be as distracted by unnecessary squabbling.

She has some excellent ideas.

What's telling is that you don't include the Perry Apologists in your rant, and yet, many of them are much more rude and lacking in civility than Palin supporters.

And yet you wrap yourself in a the blanket of objectivity.

Very good catch there :) I suspected it anyway... but, who am I to say anything ;^)

Also.. if they don’t care until she tells us she is in.. then why bother clicking on the thread.. and even ‘wasting’ their time posting.. {Ah.. the torture} >.< :p

Then what was the point of your Post 2?
