Gallup: Palin top choice of Republicans to run in 2012

Would you mind if I borrow your tag line?
I think it's great! ;-)

It has little to do with issues.

It's a televised beauty pageant Twenty million ignorant fools decide who wins.

Among conservative Republicans, it’s Palin 73,
_________________________________________

And Romney is placed last...

Just where he belongs...

In 2012 he’ll be way too old to run...

(RomneyBot scale for qualifications)

If the courts do their job, she could run in 09.

Unless Jindal gets disqualified because his parents were not American citizens at the time of his birth,

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Bobby Jindal was born in the US...

Welcome to FR. I’m wondering why we only hear such comments from people who have registered here in the last two months....

Could it be because there are so many radical Romney haters on FR, those that like Romney don’t last long and go away to more friendly turf?

"Romney Loses Nomination Over Dog Abuse?
Romney was traveling that summer with his wife, five sons, and Seamus to his parent's cottage on Lake Huron.
But hours into the ride, Seamus apparently suffered diarrhea,
which ran down the back window of the car. Romney's sons, all under 13, howled in disgust.
Romney pulled off the road into a service station.
There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, and they drove on to Ontario.
.....David Kravitz wrote on BlueMassGroup, a liberal blog.
"It also strikes me as classic Romney: it solves a problem efficiently,
in a business-like manner, and with no regard whatsoever
for the suffering that the solution may cause."

Dog on Roof? What Was It Like for Romney's Pooch?
Scientists Say Dog Likely Experienced Wind-Whipped, Uncomfortable Trip
"Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family's hulking Irish setter,
in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon's roof rack.
e'd built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog," read the article.
Jordan Kaplan, the owner of Petaholics, a dog walking service in New York City,
and a lifelong dog owner and dog lover, said Romney's actions were uncalled for.
....What Happens to a Dog on a Roof Traveling 50 MPH?

As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon,
keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble.
''Dad!'' he yelled. ''Gross!'' A brown liquid was dripping down the back window,
payback from an Irish setter who'd been riding on the roof in the wind for hours.
As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust,
Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station.
There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car,
then hopped back onto the highway.

But the details of the event are more than unseemly — they may, in fact, be illegal.
Massachusetts's animal cruelty laws specifically prohibit anyone
from carrying an animal "in or upon a vehicle, or otherwise, in an unnecessarily cruel
or inhuman manner or in a way and manner which might endanger the
animal carried thereon." An officer for the Massachusetts Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals responded to a description of the situation
saying "it's definitely something I'd want to check out." The officer,
Nadia Branca, declined to give a definitive opinion on whether Romney broke the law
but did note that it's against state law to have a dog in an open bed of a pick-up truck,
and "if the dog was being carried in a way that endangers it, that would be illegal."

Romney's dog
This is a distinction Mitt Romney probably could do without, but he is surely
the first presidential candidate to be attacked for putting a dog with diarrhea
in a carrier and tying it to the top of a station wagon.
Romney's defense: Seamus liked it. "He scrambled up there every time we went on trips,"
the Republican said during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh. "He got in all by himself and enjoyed it."

ROTFLOL. Same excuse adulterers use. It just 'fell in'.

He may have made a few mistakes along the way, but he is a good person.

:(

All 2008 GOP presidential candidates should be disqualified from consideration in 2012 and beyond. Hope I never have to hear the Huckster or Romney again. Good Riddance!!

We need new faces like Gov Palin, Gov Sanford, Gov Blunt, or Senator Jeff Sessions.

Romney all the way!

Slick, plastic RINO.

NO WAY.

How about a WINNING, TRUE CONSERVATIVE, not a pretender, for a change.

Norman Bates: Why do you parrot a MSM attack line?

Thank you for directing me to this. It apparently was not a MSMattack line
but an expose' on ROmney, again. The attack was by MYTH ROMNEY on a poor dog.

First, the issue:

Romney's dog - This is a distinction Mitt Romney probably could do without, but he is surely
the first presidential candidate to be attacked for putting a dog with diarrhea
in a carrier and tying it to the top of a station wagon.
Romney's defense: Seamus liked it. "He scrambled up there every time we went on trips,"
the Republican said during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh. "He got in all by himself and enjoyed it."

ROTFLOL. Same excuse adulterers use. It just 'fell in'.

Second, Romney's lack of good judgment (again, is it not?)

As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon,
keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble.
''Dad!'' he yelled. ''Gross!'' A brown liquid was dripping down the back window,
payback from an Irish setter who'd been riding on the roof in the wind for hours.
As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust,
Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station.
There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car,
then hopped back onto the highway.

Third, it was illegal, but Romney is always "above the law (see fake badges, impersonating LEO in multiple states)"

But the details of the event are more than unseemly — they may, in fact, be illegal.
Massachusetts's animal cruelty laws specifically prohibit anyone
from carrying an animal "in or upon a vehicle, or otherwise, in an unnecessarily cruel
or inhuman manner or in a way and manner which might endanger the
animal carried thereon." An officer for the Massachusetts Society

saying "it's definitely something I'd want to check out." The officer,

but did note that it's against state law to have a dog in an open bed of a pick-up truck,
and "if the dog was being carried in a way that endangers it, that would be illegal."

Fourth, it was classic ROmney.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Big time critism of the Christian beliefs of conservative politicians going on i n this thread...

Shall we discuss what Romney believes in his religion ????

Some criticism going on too...

That’s it? You think it’s important because Romney supposedly broke some loose animal law? My understanding is this trip was a long time ago as well. This is just silliness.

Romney lost the primary BTW. You can at least suspend your permanent campaign against him.

If Palin goes on Oprah and Letterman, as rumored, she will mostly likely lose my vote.

Mitt Romney can rung rings around everybody on economic issues. That said, a private equity/vencap fund founder would have been the least palatable of all candidates this election once the economic crisis hit.

He'd have been killed on this talking point: firms like Mitt Romney's got us in this mess, so how is Mr. Bain Capital going to get us out?

Especially here on FR apparently.
