Sarah & Duncan Lead, Who Should be their VP?
Gate Of The City ^ | 9/17/09 | Chuck Ness

Posted on 09/17/2009 8:53:06 AM PDT by OneVike

I took a poll yesterday of whom Freepers would like to see as the Republican Presidential candidate in 2012. As you can see Sarah Palin was a hands down winner. However, you can still vote in that poll if you haven't and change the outcome, but the trend is obvious. Of 785 votes Sarah received 496 for 62%. Next was Duncan hunter with 70 votes for 8%, trailing a distant third was Mitt Romney with 43 votes at 5%. The other category received the same total as Romney did, while the rest received such low amounts of votes they are not even worth mentioning, for President that is.


What Ticket Would Freepers Like to See For President in 2012

Which brings me to my next poll. I took Sarah and Hunter and set up some scenarios for the 2012 GOP ticket. You will see that I gave quite a range of possibilities yet only for Sarah and Hunter My poll my choice and besides it is my opinion that if every registered Freeper voted the outcome would have more votes but the same result in percentages.

I have had many comments that tell me it is way too early for a poll that can mean anything, but allow me to present a few reasons why I and a few other Freepers believ it is not too early to decide.

First off, we really do not want the left to chose our candidate for us, so let's make sure the RINOs know we do not want them screwing up our best chance at fixing what they already screwed up . Thanks to the left all of our financial reserves have been taxed and in two or three more years the situation will just get worse. Consider if you will, the amount of money and influence that will be exerted to keep Obama in the White House. We are talking in the excess of a probably a billion dollars just for Obama's political reelection campaign. Add to that the influence of the MSM that is now an official partner with the Democrat party. The upcoming movies and politicking that Hollywood will bombard the country with. The ongoing constant pressure and influence of television programs, and the music Industry (which now includes many CW stars like Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, and brad Paisley). Not to mention the concerted effort of the Universities across America and the public school system.

There will be an all out assault upon the GOP candidate that we chose. An assault that will do everything in their power to keep Obama's butt on Air Force One. They will do what ever is necessary to keep the Messiah in the White House. Remember, Obama began his run for the White House in 2004 after wining his Senate seat. So it is incumbent upon us to decide now, whom we would like our political donations and our time to be spent on. After all, it will take a lot of money and dedication of time to defeat the coalition of Obama/Hollywood/Soros/MSM/ACORN, and it is imperative we start now.

So with no further delay, I ask that you freep my poll so I can see what ticket you, my fellow Freepers, would like to see on the GOP for 2012.

Well, I pray this poll is as successful as the last one. Sorry for all those of you who will disagree with it, but it is what it is.

Had Mitt Romney or Ron Paul won the poll like Sarah did, I would be having them in this poll instead of her and Hunter.

Petreaus, Santorum, Thompson, Hunter, Issa. In that order.

Based on the poll it would be Palin-Hunter. Given her resume I doubt she could be the first candidate since whenever to pick a lowly Congressman, however.

As much as I love Sarah, I’m rethinking it a bit. I don’t like ANY male candidate with the same fervor I like her, but I’m thinking a solid conservative with Gubernatorial experience and Sarah as VP would be just fine & dandy with me. :)

Does a Haley Barbour and Sarah Palin ticket fit your bill?

Outside the box, but this is a wish list: Antonin Scalia.

I’d almost prefer SP as VP -

that would give her 16 years to kick ass instead of just 8.

And, in answer to the thread question

MICHELLE BACHMAN.

If we nominate Palin (or any other 2008 loser re-tread) we will lose. Palin is a flake. She couldn’t handle governing Alaska; how can she handle being president. Palin as nominee guarantees 4 more years of Hussein and his communist cronies.

I do not want to hear from any of the half-wits who commented “No one knows Duncan Hunter” during the last primary and got us saddled with McCaine.

We need to make sure people KNOW WHO THE HELL DUNCAN HUNTER IS!

Sarah's VP as my tagline says:

Allan Mulally

Ford's CEO, Google him what he has done and is doing.

He would carry Michigan and IMHO possibly OH and IN and that would stop the Bamster in his tracks politically.

Nice web site construction. Perhaps you would be interested in my work along these same lines at Virtual Christian Video Tours of the Jerusalem?

He’d be one. So would Congresswoman Michelle Bachman of MN, though maybe some time as Governor for her, first.

Wisconsin needs a swift kick in the @ss with a Republican Governor this time around, for certain! Scott Walker (currently Milwaukee County Exec.) may just pull it off, because most of WI has pretty much had it up to HERE!

Sarah Palin - Great policy positions/great grassroots/energetic support/will be completely destroyed by the media

Mitt - RINO, one word RomneyCare

Jeb - Pro-Amnesty

Huckabee - “Compassionate Conservative” i.e big spender/pro-social bailouts

Crist - RINO

Jindal - Squishy presenter will be run over

Paul - Great small government guy, but can’t overcome kook support

Cantor - Good conservative . again, weak presenter

Allen - Macaca

Thompson - Not interested

Giuliani - Been there done that

Keyes - Same problem as Paul

Barbour - undefined

Hunter - Ideal policy positions, but unfortunately no star power

Petraeus - A future Powell?

Pawlenty - Milk toast

Other - We need a hard nosed, conservative true believer, solid record on the issues, who is not afraid and is also a performer = TBD

Well, he got a higher percentage in this poll then he did the whole campaign.

Tancredo is missing. Not gonna happen, but he’s at least as likely as Hunter.
