Bob McDonnell; Scott Brown; Sarah Palin; Rick Santorum; Petraeus - All Telegenic Presidential Candidates. OUT: Newt Gingrich; Haley Barbour; Pawlenty. It is critical that the next Republican candidate for president not only be a true conservative but one who can project a telegenic image to sway voters to pull the lever for them. The outcome of the presidential election of 2012 will either result in the signing of this nation's death warrant with an Obama re-election or trail-blaze a path to a miraculous political resurrection. With this being the case we simply cannot have our blinders on regarding the crucial issue of telemetrics no matter how articulate or informed the candidate is. Of course these qualities are essential but in the end "image" matters because it is how a candidate "connects" with the voting masses.
Yep, you're right up there tied with Biden.
What about Lieutenant Colonel Allen West? He is my candidate, Sarah Palin is not for me. As a woman, I should be more inclined to vote for her but in my opinion, she just does not have it. I want a strong man, and no blow dried ken or barbie dolls that spew the usual talking points.
is it a qualification to keep one’s job if it means personally going bankrupt? that would be stupidity.
Yea, i will vote for someone that stupid/sarc off
Try this: the 2012 election will be a referendum on Zero. The quit meme, if it has any life, will be played out in the R primary and somehow, i doubt Romney can use “Quitter’ when the woman has been going pretty much nonstop since last fall 2009 and engaged and taking heat from the Libturds and msm.
I can understand you preferring a candidate you refuse to promote for whatever reason but following Reagan’s 11th commandment will help all conservatives.
I’m not going to be able to read all of the previous comments, so let me offer my two cents worth:
The job of electing a president and deciding qualifications should not be done the same way as one chooses a valedictorian. This isn’t a contest of either grades or supposed intellect.
That we allowed this last election to be turned into such proved the folly of the idea. We also cannot be accused of racism, as we elected a man who left NO footprint of his previous life, with no serious accomplishments to his name. Goodhearted Americans ignored all these things and elected Obama just the same, taking a chance.
We now see the consequences.
Choosing a president is about their “insides.” All presidents will be surrounded by smart people, experts in their field. Presidents do not need that.
We are voting for their morals, their values...if we share them.
This explains the sudden disconnect between Obama and the people, after just one year into his presidency. It is the reason why we have the nagging feeling of something being dreadfully wrong. He shares neither our morals, nor our values, and more importantly.....he doesn’t share our uniquely American soul. He’s on some left wing “auto-pilot” mode. There is no “there” there, with Obama. The only values he holds are anti-American, grievance oriented values.
I once worked for a wonderful man, who didn’t realize he was being undermined by his brother’s new wife. This was a family business, 75 years old. To prove to him he was being undermined, I began (on my own) to collect documents from company waste baskets to show him what they were up to. Finally, he said to me “Why would she be doing this? I don’t get it.” I said “She comes from nothing. She’s never had a stake in a damn thing. Anything she has, she got or stole from someone else. And you’re next.”
And then I told him: there is no more dangerous person you will ever meet on this earth, than someone with nothing to lose.
And there you have it with Obama.
He has no real principles, no national loyalty, no family history to betray, no family name to soil for all time.
In other words, he’s got nothing to lose.
Palin needs to replace Steele at the RNC........NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She simply cannot get away from this politically fatal resignation no matter how much you guys or she wishes it to be.
So how exactly are women treated in your Arab Lebanese home culture?
I don’t think that Sarah Palin would be pleased and impressed with your pro homosexual postings and your pro Rudy pro Romney posting, I don’t think that she would praise your consistent antiPalin trolling and fake concern for what Palin approves of or disapproves of either.
You guys that are weak on conservatism and support the things like the homosexual agenda really have a dislike for a conservative like Governor Palin.
Hey bub...this is for your education:

Not has well-informed as you thought you were, are you?
Your problem Viriginia Ridgerunner is that you are not just a fool who uses liberal tactis to smear those who disagree with him but you are a person who needs a lot of education.
Your problem jveritas is that you come on a thread unprovoked and you start smearing people who have a different point-of-view about Sarah Palin than you do. Then you act so surprised when they respond in kind with smears.
Shall I start from the beginning of this thread and document your smears?
Looks like the McPalinistas are trying to silence you.
There are Palin cultists on FR and there is no doubt about that. Every observor who is not an adoring fan or a Palin cultist will quickly realize this simple fact.
There are reasonable people on FR who enthustiasically support Palin.
There are reasonable people on FR who like Sarah Palin, who think she is doing a good job fighting Obama, and who are considering supporting Sarah.
Define what you think makes somebody a "Palin Cultist" worthy of your insults, contempt and smears.
Or shall I go back on this thread and document what you think is worthy of such smears?
