[NYC Republican]

By baggage, I’m referring to Palin having to constantly defend her daughter’s pregnancy, her performances on Gibson and Couric, and her issues back in Alaska... cause, like it or not (we don’t), the media will pound on all of these issues... SNL/Tina Fey will mock her constantly, and in my view, it’s going to be next to impossible to turn many of the electorate’s view that she’s imminently not qualified to be President. Just my 2c.

The price of being a Conservative Republican is to be mocked by the effete Perez Hilton leftist media elites. If Jesus Himself were the nominee in 2012, the media would do to Him what they did to Palin in ‘08 and Dubya in ‘00 & ‘04 and Reagan and Goldwater and...

Baggage?
Romney and his ba$tard BOTs owe the GOP and America an apology.

Similar to Romney's other scortched earth tactics:

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

Your two cents buys you the absolute guarantee that the MSM will dictate to you who can and cannot be "possible" to run as a conservative. You must like letting the MSM control you, because that's what you advocate and accept. That's pretty bad, but it's downright disgusting that you advise that the GOP and FReepers do the same -- leave it up to the MSM and SNL to dictate which candidates are acceptable.
