Anyone who lives and breaths is a threat to Romney. He won’t take the GOP nod being a mormon. It just won’t happen. This is just another example of the MSM trying to get “their man” the GOP nod so he’ll lose big time to O. They are, once again, trying to decide the outcome of an election.

(ps. how can you not come on like gangbusters when people are actually saying barry goldwater wouldnt be welcome here?? its insane!)

It's a lovely sceen name indeed. And I carry a Sig.

Palin doesn't have the juice to do it on her own.

Who said on her own?

What a non-factor of a statement.

The reactions of 99% of the posters within this forum prove me correct.

She is the only Republican with a base.

Not true. if you say Republican, then you have to recognize that McCain and Romney both have significant followings.

That's conservatives in case you missed who supports her.

Wait I thought conservatives weren't necessarily republicans and vice versa? She changed that on her own?!?! WOW!!

Back off with the Reagan platatudes and gross references OK?

Make me. whatever

Oh nice comeback.

Way to take things out of context. Nice job.

Just ignore the kneecapping.

Catch up.

What's next, the "L" sign at the forehead???

Do you always get this irrational when being debated or it is special just for me?

Mike Pence for POTUS in ‘12, that is, if the left even allows any more elections to happen in the future.

[rabscuttle385]

Romneybots suck.

[MikefromOhio]

She is still Governor and open your mind as you seem a little afraid of a woman in power. Don’t hate the playa.

What is she Governor of?

As for being afraid of a woman in power, well, that's absolutely LAUGHABLE. Way to try to ASSume things when I've said absolutely NOTHING of the sort.

Ha...you doth protest a little too much. You are a non-factor. Sarah Palin is a factor.

[RegulatorCountry]

You mistake this for a Republican site. The vast majority here may very well vote Republican when it's all said and done, but the first priority is conservatism.

Goldwater was conservative in some ways, and not so conservative in others. There are fiscal conservatives here, there are social conservatives here, there are fiscal and social conservatives here and there are small "L" libertarian conservatives here. Not so many big "L" Libertarians. Ron Paul is highly controversial. I defend the man, myself, though I don't ever envision him as a viable Presidential candidate.

So, we're not all alike, not even remotely monolithic. There are distinct subsets and factions. If you want to stick around, you'll find your faction and learn how the game is played here from the safety of threads begun by your compatriots, lol.

F Romney and his Romney care. Only liberals come from Mass.

What state would you like Romney to be from? He's also from Michigan, Utah and New Hampshire, in addition to Massachusetts, if you'd like.

[MikefromOhio]

Ha...you doth protest a little too much. You are a non-factor. Sarah Palin is a factor.

uhhh right.....keep on thinking that Palin will be a factor by 2012....it plays well from behind the keyboard, I guess.

[Syncro]

You don't win with 35-40%.

Those numbers are completely useless as you grabbed them from out of thin air.

BTW I disagree.

Well yea, I got that. Let's just agree you are fighting Palin (and conservatism) tooth and nail until you give us all "MikefromOhio" Exaustion

She has to stay in the headlines at least every month from here until the primaries begin.

OK, no prob.

Had she not quit as governor, she wouldn't have this issue of staying relevant.

She doesn't have that issue, you do.

Instead she quit and a nation that already has Palin exhaustion...

LOL, I have to stop you there. Insert McArthur quote *here*

... will be fed more stories about her from the right AND the left...

Yep, and it will sharpen her skills.

[Syncro]

LOL I like the “factor” thingie, good one!

[Jim Noble]

Mitt Romney will never be President.

[glock rocks]

He sold his ski/mansion/estate in Park City, so he’s no longer a Utahn, thank goodness.

[Syncro]

Naw, you are just so far out of the loop you are fun to play with.

Oh nice new statistic, 99%

Good Grief!

[MikefromOhio]

Those numbers are completely useless as you grabbed them from out of thin air.

Actually I got that number from RushLimbaugh.com, what you can believe whatever you want too I guess.

Well yea, I got that. Let's just agree you are fighting Palin (and conservatism) tooth and nail until you give us all "MikefromOhio" Exaustion

I'm not fighting anything but I am becoming increasing more amused by the fact you can't remain on topic or rational when someone questions whether or not Palin is a viable candidate.

She doesn't have that issue, you do.

So I'm running for office now? Is my questioning of the demiGod-like love for Palin that offensive too you that you have to make personal attacks on me? Hilarious.

LOL, I have to stop you there. Insert McArthur quote *here*

Stay on topic, it's not hard.

Yep, and it will sharpen her skills.

If her "skills" aren't sharp enough already (and they aren't), she's not ready for prime time.

[MikefromOhio]

Naw, you are just so far out of the loop you are fun to play with.

The FR loop maybe (and that's a good thing because I get out from behind my keyboard).... Oh nice new statistic, 99%

Good Grief!

Of course you don't realize the vacuum this place becomes when a thread about Palin is posted. Gotta love Sarah or you get flamed kinda like I'm receiving on this thread. Like I said it's just interesting to watch and react too. And a bit funny at times.

Romney recently moved to California so he can be close to wealthly GOP donors. Romney’s Utah home is for sale. He thinks having trouble selling his Utah home is his way of having empathy with struggling homeowners.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

Conservatives really need to succeed in getting the general voting public to actually see the difference between a conservative Republican and a RINO Republican, prior to the November ‘12 election, if there even is a ‘12 election! Romney always has been and always will be a RINO Republican, and he will probably not be the only RINO running for POTUS in ‘12.
