Very well said! I hope the 3rd party voters will take note, but I fear they won't. They are so hung up on “voting their conscience” that they don't realize what that vote will bring us. I feel sure that the democrats are already preparing to send in a 3rd party shill in 2012 (like Perot) so they can get 4 more years of “the one”.

At the moment, I agree with you. In the Presidential elections, I haven't voted "for" anyone since Reagan. All my other votes were lesser evil votes to keep the demonrat candidate out of the WH. McCain was my worst vote yet and I actually tried to convince others to vote McCain to keep obama out. What did I get for compromising my values?

Not only did obama win, but McCain continues to make me regret my voting for him. Most of the time, I don't think a President McCain would be much different than obama, though he would have killed the rino party once and for all.

What's that they say about insanity and doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result? No more voting for rinos.

I was hoping someone like Clinton or some other liberal would pull a Ted Kennedy and challenge "the One" but I think this administration is too thuggish to let that happen. However, I don't think for a minute that the GOP didn't encourage Nadar runs in 2000 and again in 2004. It's a standard tactic of the two party system and has been throughout our history.

What happens if she decides not to run?

The list of exceptional GOP women is longer than the men.

Liz Cheney

Michelle Bachmann

Marsha Blackburn

Jeri Thompson

Sarah doesn't have the best/longest resume in the US for a Republican and actually she is similar to O’Bambi in lacking executive experience. I fear she would govern like O'Bambi being afraid to make decisions and not willing to make intelligent compromises to get things done in Washington.

Sorry, your inaccurate hit piece doesn't wash.

Sarah has many accomplishments unlike your messiah, the OBOZO. That includes making hard decisions as the executive officer of the largest and most important state in terms of energy and independence from saudi dictators.

Add to it her intelligent common sense conservatism ALWAYS succeeds, it's a no brainer for Sarah to be a VERY successful president.

Nice try, liberal trollie - you're showing your fear of Sarah. Again.

I have been hoping all along that hillary had some dirt on nobama like his long form birth certificate from Kenya but the guy is SO dirty and it doesn’t seem to matter.

One of the things Governor Palin has NOT shown is an unwillingness to make touch decisions. However, much like the Gipper, she has an instinctual feel for what matters to the common person. I would trust her gut instinct on an issue far more than I would trust the expedient actions of more “informed” politicians.

I don’t know about Sarah as a Pres. candidate, but I do know this: the democrat party, and the socialist establishment in general, is scared to death of her.

I totally agree. Sarah has plenty of executive experience. I have posted this before, but again, Woodrow Wilson and Grover Cleveland were elected POTUS and had two years experience as governors...........

Sarah made promises to the Alaskan people when she was elected. She kept every promise she made.

She cut Medicaid backlog by 83%. She cut the state's budget by 7 billion. She spearheaded an increase in veterans benefits, and had a new veterans hospital built. When oil prices went to 140 bucks, she created a rainy day account and there is almost 7 billion in it. She increased benefits to Special Needs Children by 300%. She also was instrumental in having Alaska go ‘green’. 25% of Alaska's energy is produced by renewable energy. In 10 years they will be at 50%. She also personally negotiated the AGIA natural gas pipeline project, a 60 billion dollar project to bring clean burning natural gas to the lower 48........that is only SOME of what she did........

She has plenty of experience, and as she has said, she is a “Common Sense Conservative....”

And this list proves she actually does things.

Not just talk about/promise them

I don’t, I think she is the type of person that CAN
Make decisions, in any event my days of compromises
with liberal/socialists are over and done.

Curiously enough, her short tenure as Alaska's governor shows exactly the opposite. Decisive with small shrift for bureaucratic BS.

Maybe you'd prefer someone with more experiences... Like "Brady Bill" Bob Dole or Jaun "Amnesty" McCain?

No thanks. No RINO's...

The first day she met with the Alaska State Legislature, this what she said, “You people need adult supervision.”...........is that cool or what? Cracks me up.........

You are correct, Sarah gets things done. And she isn’t going to make a promise she can’t keep.

When she was mayor of Wasilla, she was able to cut out alot of waste in the city budget. Guess what she did with the savings?.........She cut property taxes for everyone in Wasilla............NOW that is my kind of leader!

You’re kidding, right? Sarah Palin is not even remotely similar to Barack Hussein Obama. Obama’s problem is not indecisiveness. He’s already decided to fundamentally change America as we know it. His problem is he can’t figure out a way to do it before the rest of America catches on. He’s not indecisive at all.

Sarah Palin is the anti-Obama. She is the anti-politician.
