To the dismay of all but hard-core political junkies, the endless campaign is a reality of modern politics. With some midterm races still unresolved, voters attention is already turned to 2012. And no potential presidential candidate now garners more attention than former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
Love her or hate her, admire her or fear her, respect her or ridicule her, it seems no one in the chattering class is without an opinion on Palin. Virtually every part of her life is dissected sometimes by her own choice. Each word is scrutinized, and each misstep no matter how small is treated as breaking news.
Palin has made clear that she is thinking about running for president. Everyone, from pundits to former first ladies, has weighed in on what she should do. Many urge her not to run.
But if she decides to, Republicans of all stripes should applaud her decision. This isnt an endorsement of her candidacy. It is, however, an endorsement of her right to participate in the process.
If we want a GOP nominee prepared for the rough-and-tumble of the general election, then we need a rigorous primary. To ensure we nominate the best our party has to offer, we need as many of our leaders as are willing to throw their hats in the ring. If we want to guarantee that our standard-bearer reflects Republican values and priorities, then we need a diverse field to choose from.
The presidential primary process isnt a coronation even when its expected to be. Just ask Hillary Clinton. The Republican Party has a proud history of competitive races....

It is wonderful to know this Lady supports our Military. Another reason to support Sarah. Yes, this Lady could be America's Iron Lady. America needs an Iron Lady just as the Brits. May Sarah Win should she choose to Go For It! I think Lady Thatcher would be proud should Sarah Go For It. I'll take a Lady Thatcher, any day, over a Mitt or Huck or Gingrich who make promises and then retreat.
serve verses support .... please reread my post.
YOU WROTE: “...which was put there by Reagan 26 years ago.”
15 years after signing the 1969 abortion on demand law as Governor of CA, resulting in tens of millions of innocent babies murdered and ushering in 1973’s Roe V. Wade. “As California goes, so goes the nation”. Reagan, the great sire of spoiled ingrate ron p. reagan and spoiled ingrate patti davis(wouldn’t take her fathers’ name she was so screwed up), was 59 years old, had all the science, medical, and ethical facts before him. He WAS TOLD EXPLICITLY that abortion was killing an unborn child, but the “former” hard-core liberal and b-movie ACTOR signed it into law any way. Its too damn bad Sarah Palin wasn’t governor of CA in 1969. She would NEVER have signed an abortion on demand law that actor Ronald Reagan did.
He did. Said it was his biggest mistake.
And he then came to a personhood Fourteenth Amendment position subsequently.
Palin hasn't. Her position is IDENTICAL to Gerald R. Ford's.
It was Ford who crafted this horrid pro-choice for states position on abortion in the first place. And it guts the moral, constitutional, legal, and philosophical arguments against abortion.
Post #65 is for you as well.
I had not researched well enough to know that piece of information you just gave on abortion and President Reagan. Thank You for that piece of information! I must leave. There is something I must do. Have a Great Day, and please Be Safe.
