Mitt Romney’s main strategy in the GOP primaries of 2012 is to hammer Sarah Palin as “a quitter”.

No, she quit which was the best financial decision for herself.

You can make the assessment, but don't expect people to agree with it. Neither of us can read her mind. I believe that she is telling the truth, you don't. You can't state your opinion as fact. Notice I also did not state her motivation. I stated that she made the best decision. The fact that the decision frees her to communicate and set the political tone nationwide does not contradict the statement.

I suspect you don't even understand what she's about.

And you are stretching real hard to equate quitting college with quitting an elected position.

The similarity is the expectation of a commitment to a "whole program." Since Palin beat every single challenge that came to court, and settled one without going to court, it's not like she "had to resign" like Nixon did (and one could argue that he might have done it for the good of the country). I don't think anyone can argue that she "can't stand the heat." She's inviting more. If she is positioning herself for a run, she will have to accumulate wealth (as the establishment won't support her), political chits and public visibility. She is excelling at all three. In the meantime, she is forcing the left to get on the record on all sorts of things that they just as soon would have avoided. The Pawlentys and Romneys of the world are incapable of setting the tone. They can only try to dance a Republican version of the MSM's tune.

Really? I knew that McCain was going to win right after Huckaboob took Iowa.

[trisham]

You’re smarter than I. :)

“Palin supporters will go to the corners of the Earth for her.”

Absolutely.

[LibLieSlayer]

What a commie fraud.

Nope, I just looked at who was left and at the following primaries...

[Diogenesis]

Gov. Palin is the THE frontrunner.

As always, Mitt Romney is NOTHING but a spoiler and
backstabber. History will record that he dismissed
NONE of the RomneyBOTs who attacked Gov Palin and her
defenseless children on the eve of Election 2008.

[trisham]

You’re kind. :)

[Al B.]

Romney is a desperate louse and attempts by Mittens to takedown Sarah will fail.

Won't stop Mittens from making this a pretty ugly fight. Look at SC with Nikki Haley, another situation where the good ol' boys are about to get their a$$es kicked by a girl. Didn't take long for it to turn real nasty.

Getting rid of entrenched self-interests and corruption will never be easy. It will be mean and ugly. Just look at this forum for a preview...LOL.

[onyx]

You betcha...LOL. But not about this!

[Lakeshark]

Yeah, right along with the Rabadash (Paulbots) and BOBJ factions.......

[trisham]

It’s important to remind everyone of that. It was disgusting, and we need to remember it.

[trisham]

And humble! :)

[onyx]

Oh yes, you’re right! Down and dirty won’t stop Mittens, but he wants to play “nice guy” and this forum does give us an ugly preview of things to come. I just read Lakeshark’s comments!!!

[onyx]

Humble? Not so much....LOLOL.

Romney is the MSM and Republican establishment’s first choice. Reagan beat them and won 2 landslides but since then the establishment has knocked out any conservative who ran for the job.

Palin may be able to get the nomination. Jim DeMint, Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, or someone else, might have a chance.

The one chance we have of nominating a conservative is to get behind ONE conservative early. Let the establishment run Romney, Huckaphony, Giuliani and any other liberal they can throw into the mix. If we get behind one candidate early we can beat them.

If we do get a conservative again, we have to insist that he or she not load the cabinet and insider jobs with establishment liberals. That was Reagan’s first and biggest mistake and was the main reason he didn’t get government scaled back.

[Lakeshark]

I was disappointed with her resignation too.

It's now become apparent to me that her promise she made when she resigned, the one where she said she was free to come against the horrors of what was happening (my words) on a national scale, that's the one she had her eyes on and kept.

That she is the biggest thorn in the side of the Dems is fairly obvious. That she is one of the few that constantly and consistently sticks up for conservative principles, and sticks it to Bambi and the dems is to her credit. She hasn't "quit" at all, she's just reset her sights and they are on reclaiming our country.

Anyone who can't see that is either blind, or in one of the GOP factions that wants to be more important than she has become. Like Romney.

[PA Engineer]

Beat me. Just show in black and white, dead bodies in emergency rooms. Have the words Obamacare morph into Romneycare. Have Romney’s face simultaneously morph into Obama. Done

[Diogenesis]

No. Romney is the DNC’s first choice.

They are LOADED with material on the backstabbing,
carpetbagging, proven-poor governor.

What a useless worm Romney is to have thrown
the last election to Obama.

If we do get a conservative again, we have to insist that he or she not load the cabinet and insider jobs with establishment liberals. That was Reagan’s first and biggest mistake and was the main reason he didn’t get government scaled back.

Reagan's cabinet wasn't that bad. James Watt, Ed Meese, Raymond Donovan, Richard Schweicker (liberal on everything EXCEPT HHS stuff, so he was well-placed), Bill Bennett, Al Haig. These were good folks.
