McDonnell; Brown; Palin; Santorum; Petraeus- All Telegenic Presidential Candidates But Not...
April 09th 2010

Posted on 04/09/2010 9:42:00 PM PDT by Steelfish

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.

Sarah Palin = Obama of the right. An incompetent JOKE with a lot of red meat to throw to her blind cultists.

My prediction the next President will be a white male — this Country has enough of experiements to last for a long time and another minority or woman would be another experiement. Hear that over and over again — white male from the middle part of the country — neither coast or from a large city.

I like red meat, and I’m not blind or a cultist. Give me the most (small-l)ibertarian, pro-life, Republican you can find.

We’re going to need the House, the Senate and the White House to go just right to turn over the Independent Medical Advisory Board. The IMAC ** will ** control medical costs.

Like resigning her office of Governor just 2.5 years in her first term because she could not handle the attacks from the her opponents. Oh yeah, she did it for the tax payers of Alaska say her followers. Do you understand how stupid this excuse is in the real world of politics? You do not. Why? Because you are blinded by the red meat and rhetoric she throws you daily. She is nothing but Obama of the right.

Another post by you without the full context.

The same sad, ugly, deceitful behavior used by PDS Sufferers.

There is help for this disease, but it involves being honest; Totally Honest!

The real truth about this issue, as you already know because you are a regular Negative poster on Palin threads, is that she was being driven into extreme debt, she and her family were over $500,000 dollars in debt because of an endless stream of frivolous and fraudlent lawsuits employing a loop-hole in the ethics law to file such inane lawsuits as, she wore a jacket with a Logo on it at a political event.

All of these crap lawsuits were thrown out, every last one of them.

But during that time, she, and her staff, spent 80% of their time preparing for these lawsuits which took her away from the real responsibilities of her job, Governing; and that, and keeping her bottled-up in Alaska and limiting her exposure to the general public was the whole idea of these lawsuits.

She had already accomplished the goals she had set out for her self:

1. Ethics Reform
2. Budget Reform - Cutting the cost of government and the total budget
3. Getting a new Contract with the Oil companies that forced them to either produce the oil or give up their leases, and getting more money back into the pockets of the citizens of Alaska.

There were others as well, but just the three I mentioned are a good enough list, outshining most Governors in a 4 year period in term of Big Ticket items.

So Governor Palin, looking at the Big Picture and sensing she could accomplish more for the general good, did what any intelligent, sensible, caring, conservative, and fighting Man/Woman would do; shifted gears and defeated the Democrats at the crappy game that they were playing.

She broke out of the box they thought they had created for her and fought back.

Sarah is a great fighter, something Myth "Finger in the wind" Romney wouldn't know anything about.

With Obama in the bag, what are we going to do when the Democrats cross over and elect our candidate in the primaries? I think it is time that all delegates need to be Tea Party people and the convention may have some surprises.

Another idiotic response from a Palin cultist. All those stupid excuses about debt and whatever silly excuses you Palin cultists come up with will not work in the real world of politics. Second the joke is that she accomplished meaningless things when she was “half governor” is another laughable joke. The biggest joke of all is that you think she can resign because she achieved what she was set to do. You Palin cultists do not understand how stupid you sound.

Sarah has good instincts, but she doesn’t have the policy acumen to expose the disasterous underlying effects of the leftist pet projects du jour. Politically, she’s damaged goods. At the rate we’re going, this election should be a slam dunk, but I worry that the narrative that’s been written about her will give Obama a shot he doesn’t deserve. We need a conservative with a bulletproof record who can articulate the idiocy of democrat party.

I seriously doubt that, especially since you have this deep-seated obsessive-compulsive need to make a complete fool out of yourself on these threads.

The Palin cultists will never accept this simple reality.

The MSM will ensure there is no such animal. If they can't find something they will make something up...
