Gov. Palin aboard USS Stennis 6_09

Well, the presidential primary sweepstakes is heating up already. Many people have written Sarah Palin off. Heck, many thought she never had a chance anyway and they're gloating about it. And, unfortunately, "conservative" Governor Sanford blew his chances. Keep it zipped up fellas.
And the media, as usual, is panting hard for the most liberal Republican they can find in the primary race. Namely, Governor Slick Willard Romney.
Hey, Romney's ok. IF you're one of those liberal/moderate RINO types that loves big government forcing big government "solutions" for health care, etc, down your throat. AND if you can morally ignore his liberal record in Massachusetts that left the state saddled with a bankrupting state run health care system, taxpayer funded abortions, gay marriage, gun control, sanctuary cities, intrusion and government coercion into private matters, etc, etc, etc, AND you've convinced yourself that it wasn't Slick's fault. The liberals made him do it, etc. They don't call him Kennedy's best friend for nothing, y'know.
But I'm a conservative. That means I'm a social conservative, fiscal conservative, small government conservative, national defense conservative and traditional American heritage conservative. And I will support the conservative candidates who best represent my conservative principles and values. In the very least, my conservative candidate will have a strong pro-Life and Liberty record. And he will have an unblemished fiscally conservative, small government, pro-national security, and pro-national defense record!
Will I sit out the race if a socially liberal RINO is nominated? You betcha. I will not participate in the further destruction of the Republican Party. If the Republican Party continues moving left, it will have left me.
That automatically rules out Romney, Rudy, Paul and any other whacked out fools or RINOs. And thank God the old warhorse McCain is too old and feeble to run again. Please, Arizona, put the old guy out to pasture before he does any more damage to party and country.
Would I support Sarah Palin if she decides to run? You betcha! And I would enthusiastically welcome and support Governor Barbour, Senator Sessions, Congressman Pence or Duncan Hunter, et al. Don't know enough about Jindal to say but I'm willing to listen.
And I'm sure there are other conservatives we should consider. Would like for FReepers to post their favorite presidential hopefuls here and list their conservative credentials for our consideration.
RINOs or social liberals need not apply. Enough with the Swartzeneggers, Giulianis, Romneys, McCains, et al. They NEVER work out for us!!
Thanks,
Jim
P.S. Government funded or forced health care is NOT a constitutional right! It's TYRANNY!!
DONT TREAD ON ME!!
I like that team.
Thank you for saying this. I agree 100%.
If it weren't for "open" primaries, the left wouldn't be able to impose their will on the GOP side of the ticket. We never would have had McCain.
I’m not thinking about 2012 President runs yet. I’m trying to figure out how to throw the commie bastards out of congress in 2010.
JOHN BOLTON FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

I like Palin. I only donated to McCain after he tapped Palin. She’s the best hope we’ve got of radical change in government — probably because she hasn’t come through the brain grinder of 7 years of Ivy League education and then 15 years in Washington or state level politics — after the compulsory stint on Wall Street or at a big law firm — and the country club. She’s still one of “us.”
That said everybody is counting Jindahl out and I don’t think one bad speech ends anything for him.
How about adding to your list:
Congressman Paul Ryan
Senator John Thune
Governor John Hoeven
CHICKS RULE!!!
Close the primaries so only registered GOP can vote.
Werks fer me.
And we've got to somehow keep the left from getting them on the ticket like they did McCain.
Close the primaries so only registered GOP can vote.

Completely agree!
To expand on why Haley Barbour... he is not only a principled conservative, he is also a seasoned politician. He knows how the game works, is able to speak well on TV, and is able to operate well with the media.
We need someone not only with the right conservative principles, but also someone with good political instincts.
The worst outcome is someone who is neither conservative nor has good political instincts. Think John McLame, and his decision to suspend his campaign to push the stimulus.
I gotta say, I've recently thought about that possibility.
Palin does have powers that the other contenders lack. She is a peach.
Sessions is too mild mannered to even be a VP pick.
Amen! DeMint and Thune look promising as well.

I still prefer Palin, but any real conservative will do.
