Foolish reply. You will regret it...

Is that a threat?

“I’m curious. Do you really hear Ron Paul talking to you when you wear your tin foil hat?”

Ludwig VonMises... :o)

“When all else fails (or you can't come up with a rational defense because your IQ is below 70), just attack the other poster.”

Which you would never do (attack the other poster, that is). LOL

[editor-surveyor]

No, just an observation.

Try the whack job Chuck Baldwin.

Now there’s a completely wasted vote.

Shows you the mindset of the voter.

ROTFLMAO!

[GoCards]

LEAVE and take raybbr with you. You might take that troll on the other thread too, he just signed up today.

[Lakeshark]

Ah, the third party moonbat weighs in.

Brilliant analysis as usual, even for a Paulbot.

The analysis begins and ends with "She endorsed McCain, waaaaaaaah, waaaaaaaaah........"

[Lakeshark]

My past support of Rep. Paul in a primary election in which the alternatives were Mike Huckabee and John McCain is irrelevant to this discussion.

But your vote for Baldwin in the general shows how bad your judgment is and how loony you really are......

NOTHING worse than a third party troll dispruptor. Not a conservative by any stretch of the ozone imagination. Always the outsider ankle biter.

First: Try doing a little research.

Second: Try doing a little research. Really. You can probably buy a hardcover copy of “Going Rogue” at a used bookstore, if you’re a cheap sod. And Facebook and Twitter are free. That said, yeah, she’s at least laying the groundwork to run.

Third: I gently suggest that the Republican/conservative “leadership” might have higher and more useful priorities than screwing around with Governor Palin’s career plans. Like getting the RNC chairman to stop popping off in front of live mikes, just to name one. Or better yet, getting a new RNC chairman.

Fourth: Yeah, I follow those guys too. Some of them are really good. Better than Governor Palin? Not so much. Definitely not so much that she doesn’t deserve a spot on the list. If she needs to step up her game, so do they. And I’m not some of them realize that yet. Or ever will. And I think waiting for the Great Pumpkin candidate is a fool’s errand.

Fifth: If I don’t particularly care what the party/movement elite think about Governor Palin, the McCain campaign, at least the senior staff, to the extent they think they were ill-used by her, can basically go out and play on the railing at the Grand Canyon. Senator McCain dropped a gift in their laps and they had no clue. Or they did and they were actively trying to sandbag her. Governor Palin wasn’t the one who was going around behind these peoples’ backs and anonymously badmouthing them to the press. And making stuff up in the process. While the campaign was still going on. Some folks needed to be fired publicly from that campaign and have their political careers greatly foreshortened. She wasn’t one of them.

Bonus content: Note to the “brain trust”...don’t mess with her. Seriously. Not if you like your jobs. You’re not nearly as smart as you think. You will get caught.

[Oceander]

Poor widdle lefties - they've all got castration anxiety, because they can't deal with the fact that Palin's got bigger cojones than they, or their dear leader, will ever have.

[Lakeshark]

It's very strange, so many of his McCain threads have become anti Sarah Palin threads as a result of him and his posse. Now why is that?

*Ponders*

You think he might have a third party ulterior motive?

Now is the time to post the "Captain Ovbvious" pic......

[onyx]

No, it’s much more simple and ugly than that. The end game is to get Jim to come out against Sarah Palin and to cause as much hate and discontent as possible in the interim.

[Lakeshark]

Agreed.

Divide FR and hurt conservatism for third party losers.

It's a sick and psychotic response.

[mouse_35]

You’re a little one note wonder.

[SuziQ]

but there's just no way that anyone is going to select her as their running mate after the way she treated the McCain campaign.

Excuse me? After the way SHE treated the McCAIN campaign? Just what is this guy talking about? I firmly believe that if it hadn't been for Sarah, McCain would have lost in a landslide! And it was McCain's folks who started trashing Sarah even BEFORE the election was held? Sarah has no need to apologize to the McCain campaign; it's the other way around!

Yes, some of those other candidates aren't exactly household names, or able to elicit the kind of enthusiasm among conservatives that Palin has now, but give them some positive buzz from Rush and Hannity and the rest, and that can be created real fast.

Heh...

Mark Levin – Palin Would Make a Superb President (She is the anti-Obama)

So what you're implying is that "conservative" and "Republican" are one and the same...gee, that says a lot about you.
