Hey!! Why isn’t Rudy Giuliani on their list? < /sarc>
The MSM and the national GOP is trying so hard to direct us. They still don’t get it.
Don't get me wrong. I would love to have him there.
I just laugh at the picture.
I don’t see any way that Mitt Romney is the most influential person in the Republican party. He might be the most well-known, but I don’t really see him impacting ANYTHING that is happening right now.
What issue has he driven? What minds has he changed? Where has his hand shaped the debate?
I think this is because on the biggest issue right now, Health Care, he is on the wrong side, or at least not on the right side.
I don’t think Palin is the most influential, but she clearly has had a lot more input into the debate, and has had a lot more impact. She is making statements that are changing how the democrats act, and they are responding to her, meaning she is a force in the party.
Conservatism is resurgent, not Republicans. Republicans are just there to hitch themselves to the leaderless masses who are tired of the same old Bravo Sierra.
LOL
The biggest missing name I’d put on the list is Eric Cantor.
The other name that is missing is Fred Thompson. Maybe because he making news, but he is out there, he sends out messages every few days, and those messages are strong and clear ones, that I think are making an impact.
Who knows, maybe he is even influencing Sarah Palin — they are certainly on the same page.
Well, at least they didn’t add Rudy911 to the list.
Who is Mitch Daniels?
With a few exceptions, that list would be more accurate if it were inverted.
That's exactly why the Dems are pushing him!
Mike Pence and Jim DeMint
OK, I thought about it, but I haven’t really seen Jindal saying anything recently, or driving the debate. Maybe he is, but he doesn’t seem that influential at the moment.
This is the reason that we must get new people to run as independents. Every incumbant needs to be removed. We must clean house, (and Senate too!). All of these have sold us out, either directly, or by being too passive against the democrats.
We need regular people in the legislature, who truly represent US. Some of us must run, locally and nationally. We cannot take our government back from professional politicians unless we are willing to participate, by putting ourselves and our “fortunes” on the line like our forefathers did.
SARAH PALIN SHOULD BE #1 ON THAT LIST!!!!!!
UGH! I am sick and tired of the RINOs and liberals trying to paint Sarah as insignificant.
Well, I’ve got news for them: SARAH ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE!!!!!!!! SHE WILL NOT BACK DOWN AND NEITHER WILL WE!!!!!!
SARAH PALIN WILL BE THE PARTY’S NOMINEE IN 2012; WE DON’T CARE HOW MUCH THE RINOS SQUIRM, WHINE AND SCREAM!!!!!!!
PURGE THE PARTY OF THE RINOS AND HERD THEM OUT!!!!!! THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS A CONSERVATIVE PARTY!!!!!!!
SARAH SCARES THE DAYLIGHTS OUT THE RINOS AND LIBS; THAT IS EXACTLY WHY WE NEED HER IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!
SARAH CAN RAISE MORE MONEY AND DRAW LARGER CROWDS THAN ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE ON THAT LIST COMBINED!!!!!!! IT IS ASTONISHING THAT THEY TRY TO REDUCE HER TO INSIGNIFICANCE!
WE WANT SARAH!
WE WANT SARAH!
WE WANT SARAH!!!
SARAH PALIN / MICHELE BACHMANN, 2012!!!!!!
When Coburn makes the list, call me. Until then, lose my numbers-— phone and credit card.
Hunter/DeMint. No chick ticket
Romney, most influential? Among Democrats, perhaps.
Just keep that in mind.
