What's the best way to assure America of the right kind of leadership for the next several years?
It's by getting behind the two leading presumed conservative candidates for president: Sarah Palin and Tim Pawlenty, the two former governors.
Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are calculating politicians who cannot ignite and unify the Republican base.
Newt Gingrich has too much baggage. What isn't needed now is a 1990's leader.
That's why Pawlenty and Palin are so appealing as the leaders who can turn this underperforming nation around. They represent the best bets to courageously battle against socialism in Washington. Romney and Huckabee sure won't do that.
Pawlenty and Palin have the right values.
They are not creatures of the Washington establishment.
They represent the common man, not Ivy League elitists and their leftist idealism.
Now is the time for Americans to stand up and get behind these two commonsense leaders. If we wait until next year's primary season, it may be too late.

I'm against legislators for President; they need executive experience. Also, historically, they do not do well in campaigns for President.
Little Timmy Pawlenty? We would have called him Good’n in the old neighborhood.
Sarah Palin is the next Republican President. Like it or not, SP is the only one that can generate the heat to win it. Get used to it, it is going to happen. The rest are dwarves next to her. Like the man used to say, “In your heart, you know she’s right.” You know it’s true.
If I never see her face on my TV again, it wouldn’t bother me in the least. Actually, I take that back. I prefer to see her rather than having to listen to her.
“If I never see her face on my TV again, it wouldn’t bother me in the least. Actually, I take that back. I prefer to see her rather than having to listen to her.”
I know. But you’re a dope. Don’t forget that.
Better a dope than an amnesty queen.
You would push Stalin to get rid of Palin!!
Well, I’d have to check Uncle Joe’s record more closely, but since right now I’m only “pushing” DeMint, Bachmann and Cain.
Old Joe might end up in my trash bin along with Pawlenty, Newt, Rudy, Johnson, Huntsman, Pataki, Trump, Daniels, Barbour, Paul, Mitt, Huck, Gregg, Christie, Santorum, Perry, Jeb, and Thune.
“Better a dope than an amnesty queen.”
Well, OK. You would know best about being a dope and a queen, I guess ...
I’m not sure I disagree with this. Pawlenty has been growing on me as of late. The problem with DeMint is that he has no executive experience. He’s as good if not better than anyone on the issues, but his lack of executive experience is somewhat worrisome. Lincoln was the last good President without executive experience. Then again, there have only been 3-4 good Presidents since Lincoln.
Well, I’ll say he’s no worse than Palin, if that’s any consolation.
I’m kind of scared that I have the same three favorites as you..... :p
Heeheehee
I’ll take them in any order in any combination. But for the republic’s sake, at least one better run.
What about Pence or Bolton?
Pence opted out, but I like him. Bolton needs to lay out his domestic agenda still before I’ll be satisfied.
Awww, I didn’t know that about Pence. That’s too bad.
“Old Joe might end up in my trash bin along with Pawlenty, Newt, Rudy, Johnson, Huntsman, Pataki, Trump, Daniels, Barbour, Paul, Mitt, Huck, Gregg, Christie, Santorum, Perry, Jeb, and Thune.”
I have to agree that I agree with most of your trash bin, and it really shows how tough it is to find a ‘normal’ conservative. It gets me jealous of the Dems - they can run 5 people and there’s virtually no difference between them policy-wise. I mean, does anyone really think Hillary would have been noticeably different from Obama.
As to your list above, here’s my take:
Pawlenty: Yawn, it’s too late to try to start getting noticed
Newt: Too new-paradigm - hung out with Pelosi, can never trust
Rudy: Too much baggage, like an odd ‘roommate’; gun-grabber
Johnson: Unknown
Huntsman: More unknown
Pataki: Too liberal on just about everything
Trump: Too business - like Bush-43 would not understand Democrat hatred or tactics
Daniels: Anything goes socially, essentially sells off highway to balance budget
Barbour: Nice guy for haircut, can’t be serious with that name
Paul: Wants US to become another Albania (i.e., go it alone in the world)
Mitt: Obamacare and too yesterday
Huck: Released felons from jail so they can go on a killing spree; greenie too
Gregg: Flirted with Obama admin, when the Senate was in the balance
Christie: Too independent to trust on any new issue, and a lot of old issues
Santorum: Sounds like a place with people in straight jackets
Perry: Wanted little girls injected with drug so they could engage in wild sex
Jeb: Wrong last name, soft on immigration
Thune: Weak name, but probably good overall
“And what would Ryan do to Obama in a debate re: the economy?”
That would certainly be fun to watch. Not to mention Bolton vs. Biden on foreign policy!
I want WEST/BACHMAN
