I hope you don't mind my jumping in, it's the unelectable factor that eliminates her for me. I have no doubt that she would push a conservative agenda and seek to punish the corrupt. Her personal life is a positive testimony to her character. However, the media and entertainment industry have successfully driven her negatives so high the independents will not vote for her. Also, and most importantly, when she resigned she sealed her fate.
We need to win this election.
Suppose George W. Bush was allowed to run again and got the 2012 Republican nomination...
would you vote for him KNOWING he would increase the size of Fed Govt and would massively increase the debt and would support corporate bailouts?
Just winning this election is not enough. We must not elect another Big Govt, go along to get along RINO. That would be 95% as bad as re-electing Obama!
By all means, please join in.
Nobody is unelectable against zero. A warm bucket of spit could beat him.
Actually, Sarah is in the best position to defeat him. She is a known quantity and already vetted ten times more than any politician in history. Perry has serious policy issues, but I’m confidant he’d win too. The difficulty is, he’ll only be slightly better than Bush 43. That won’t undo zero care or any of the other cancer eating at our Republic.
The second point is that if you punt who you admit is the best policy-wise, you’ve just ceded all power to the media and liberals. Every time we get a really inspiring, authentic conservative, they can take them out by making them “toxic” and “radioactive”. They know we won’t defend them, and we’ll pull them for fear of high negatives.
If you allow their assault on Palin to determine our nominee, you have telegraphed a permanent victory plan to our opponents. No conservative will ever again be elected or even try to run.
From a practical standpoint, her negatives are very soft. After three years, people have a negative reaction, but don’t know why. Those will melt away as she campaigns. What won’t melt away are the hard negatives of this disastrous economy around zero’s neck. Even his own party knows he’s toast.
“We need to win this election.”
Please define “winning.”
If what you mean by “winning” is electing another gop establishment mouthpiece that will bring about the same ends as the other side would but at a slower pace, then I don’t much care for it.
