Yeah, credencials [it's spelled "credentials"] be damned! If you're not a celebrity, you're not qualified to hold the highest office in the land.

If you can't get votes, you can't win.

Remember President Bob Dole? It was Bob Dole's turn. Bob Dole lost to the (at that time) most corrupt Democrat president in history. Bob Dole didn't care. It was Bob Dole's turn to be the RNC nominee. Bob Dole couldn't get any votes, but by God, Bob Dole was the nominee. Bob Dole wasn't about to let any conservative take his turn. Bob Dole lost big time. And America lost.

Then it was John McCain's turn to be the RNC nominee, MY FRIENDS. It was his turn. Blah, Blah, Blah. America lost big time.

Then it was Mitt Romney's turn to be the RNC nominee. WTF?

Yes, I do remember Bob Dole. I always viewed him as the sacrificial lamb because everyone knew how poplar Clinton was. Being corrupt was cool. When I was in the workforce and the Internet bubble burst, I realized in retrospect the ‘90s were “good times.” Let’s compare the incumbent Democrats of 1996 to 2012. Regardless of his no-tie look, Barry will never be Slick Willy. He doesn’t have the great economy nor does he have the political mind of Clinton. Barry is very beatable. Therefore your agrument that Dole was lame is, well, lame.

The reason I argue against Palinbots on these threads is that they drown out any political discussion of another candidate THREE YEARS before the race. If they don’t shut up, other conservative “nobodies” with c-r-e-d-e-n-T-i-a-l-s will remain nobodies.

I was on fire for Sarah when she first made the national scene. But the more I see of her, the more I think that Palinbots have put her on too high of a pedestal. God bless her for her pro-life work and other accomplishments. But she is not presidential material at this point in time. I don’t want to be like Obama supporters, willing to pin my hopes on a charismatic candidate who shares my ideals but is young and inexperienced. My feelings toward Palin are very uncertain and less than impressed with her political shrewdness. She’s hasn’t’ reached “Thatcher-dom“ in my mind‘s eye. I'm hoping I'm wrong because Palinbots are many and she'll probably win the nomination.
