well, I actually agree with him here if what you say is true. The American people are stupid. How else do you think we got here?? How do you think we got into the mess we are in.

I’m know historian by any means, but I do remember reading once upon a time Washington’s Farewell Address where he clearly warned on the implications of a dumb society. He warned that it is in every citizen duty to be educated in politics and government. I give us a failing grade for quite some time.

You think that just because Palin says the right things she is going to get elected? The only way she gets elected is if the majority of the people she is heard by know what she is saying is truthful and wise. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In addition, you have a Media that will do it’s best to hide the truth and wise from the public.

Unfortunately Politics is show business. America is hurtin for a John Wayne, not a Uma Thurman... (although she is hot)

No, your posts are all over the place, confused, accusatory, rambling, and frankly difficult to follow they are so scattered. I think I’ll pass.

Your wording changed a bit. The fact that there are none, should prompt one to find one instead of taking the only choice that is left. That is the my point you seem to avoid.

That is one thing I really do not expect to see!

You have to understand where they’re coming from, and how they got their jobs.

Their cold-blooded mendacity had to be beyond question for them to even get an interview.

How so? By analyzing that a win in New Jersey would change the electoral landscape?? Didn’t Reagan carry it twice?? You’re not making sense. Your view is “if it’s doable, we shouldn’t do it, because we couldn’t do it last time.”

I understand how logical argumentation can seem confused and all over the place to someone who is not used to employing it. If it is difficult to follow, maybe you should invest in say... I don’t know... some elementary age home school material.

Accusatory?

You interpreted this article as an “accusation” (hit piece) on your cause-celebre... project much?

Nobody is “taking the only choice that is left.”

We are taking an unbeliveably solid choice, that makes the rest of the field look pale. More and more people every day are recognizing that we have the best of all possible choices, and would be foolish to try to imagine up another.

I too would like to see a John Wayne in our politics. The closest I remember was Ronald Reagan. Aside from him being a good speaker and natural leader, he articulated the principles laid down by the founding fathers, and he presented a vision for the people of the USA as the best and brightest hope of mankind, unique in history, and such. Pretty catchy words, but also full of meaningful truth for anyone who bothers to search back through history for any comparable civilization.

Reagan warned us that if the USA falls, our children will take the first steps into a thousand years of darkness. Now is such a time of which he warned us.

Sarah Palin gets that for real, and many of the other female conservatives get that. Maybe a few of the men get that, and just can't articulate it to the voters, which is an absolute necessity right now.

I truly hope you are right. But if you’re not, we’re fooked...

I stand with the idea it is too much of a risk, one we can’t afford to lose.

But hey... I’m just one opinion out here in the fields...

I agree with your diagnosis... I’m just not convinced with your argument that she can articulate it as well as you think. I do see glimpses of it with her every now and then though.

I’d take a Palin loss over a Romney “victory”... I’ll sit that one out.

I think I misunderstood your post in the first place.

The main point is that it would go from being a possible GOP win to a lock if the Christie ran and won NJ.

If he could take NJ he might even have a shot at some other northeastern states. Game over, because Obama isn’t going to magically get the south or any traditionally GOP areas this time.

Palin has made it clear in her writings, and her speech that she sees and understands what we see, and has given good indication of where she is going.

No one else has even made a faint attempt to do so.

They seem to be hoping that the voters will see them as prince charming, and just vote for them without knowing what they support. The primaries should have gotten across to them that it ain’t going to fly this time.

What do you expect from a sour-grapes Brit snob? This twat actually thinks that "The Lady Of The Lake" bestowed heavenly providence upon "The Royalty," giving them the divine right to "rule." These people know less about the American electorate than do our Beltwaylaid Congressauruses.

Our own endangered political class have never even bothered to check our pulse, to the point where they thought we were either comatose or well and truly dead. That they now face extinction is proof of the fact that, alas, they never knew us... and never cared to.

So for the poor bad-teeth crowd across the oil-caked pond to be even further off with their slings and arrows is entirely understandable. One might even call this egocentric projection on their part "William Tell-ing," given how their opinions are founded in mythology and cynicism about us "Yanks" and "Cowboys." Don't expect, however, that this lack of real insight will ever prevent them ventilating and pontificating as though they are some sort of expert on the topic; after all, it's what they do.
