“I agree with you. I like Palin, but she’s one example of the MSM being successful at ruining somebody. She stands absolutely zero chance at being elected by the general electorate.”

This is how I feel too. Palin would be a fine President, but she can’t be elected. The neo-Marxist media’s constant drumbeat of hatred against her has penetrated far too many weak minds. Her poll negatives are through the roof. If Palin does manage to be nominated, this will simple be a repeat of Sharron Angle, Ken Buck and Christine O’Donnell disasters, only at the national level.

The stakes are too high to go with someone that’s almost sure to lose. On the other hand, we do not want a RINO like Rommney. Personally, I think Michelle Bachmann would be a great President.

Also, I still think there’s some chance that Sarah Palin will run simply to act as a lightening rod for the negativity of the neo-Marxist press. After all, they can’t attack everyone all the time, so if they focus on Palin, it leaves Michelle Bachmann and others relatively unscathed in the public mind. I think Palin is both clever enough and patriotic enough to do this, particularly since I think she is smart enough to know she can not be elected.

I think there’s a possibility that Palin may be choosing to be the sacrificial lamb, and if this is the case, and the Pubs do take Prez, then you can bet Sarah Palin is going to be appointed to a primo cabinet post or better!

What a disgusting bullshit idea.

“Personally, I think Michelle Bachmann would be a great President.”

The problem with that is that she would become the target... Any conservative candidate would.

The only alternative for deep thinkers like you is to nominate a RINO.

Avoidable disasters because they were spurned by the elitist GOP establishment. Those candidates were fine. The Republican party insiders were the spoilers. Both of you seem to side with the elitists.

GMTA.. I could have not said it any better than you just did. The primo cabinet job is right on the money too.

Roll over and die for the all-powerful media. That defeatist attitude will get you nowhere.
