In the long run, it doesn't matter if the nominee is Sarah Palin or not. If the next Republican nominee is NOT someone who is OPENLY PROUD to be a conservative, and EXCELLENT at explaining in common sense language what conservative principles are, and why they help ALL AMERICANS, and why socialism will NOT, then that nominee will lose. Period.

Sarah Palin, as of this writing, is the ONLY politician who is unabashedly conservative and will boldly speak out against socialist policies. No one else has the BALLS.

We need closed primaries, and we need the first primaries to be in conservative states.

Actually, no, it’s as far from truth as MOST of SoCalPol’s posts are. She is a known liar and baiter of people who are truly anti-big government. She has no problem growing government as long as there’s an (R) after the growers’ names. Those of us who want to actually see government SHRINK and are not willing to toe the party line, especially as the (R) party is currently constituted, are anathema to a big government “conservative” like SoCalPol and Rudy McRomney and Michael Steele and company. (For the record, I am a registered Independent who did vote for Palin last year.)

I’ll write in Duncan Hunter again. If the GOP won’t stop the slide into the sewer of the left, why should I support it. From here on in, all my money goes to the personal campaigns of conservatives. The GOP can jump in a lake.

Putting up with RINOs keeps them in office.

The sad part is that I would vote for Hillary to get Obama out of office.

In fact, maybe that’s what I should do in my primary if Hillary does run.

Vote third party, unless there’s a truly conservative candidate in the major party.

You were all for McCain in the spring of 2008, and you posted a very similar vanity asking Freepers why they did not want him to be the candidate. You got a wide variety of reasons why not, the most obvious reason being that, win or lose, the conservatives and the country would suffer a great loss. Even now, you cannot admit how wrong and wrong-headed the nomination of a RINO was for the country.

You obviously learned nothing from the 2008 election, and are still trying to generate enthusiasm for the next left-selected RINO to be foisted on the Republican voters.

It won't work again. Not only have the Republicans awakened; the whole mass of swing voters are wide awake to this ongoing fraud of the two-headed RINO/Dem coin, and they are looking for a conservative pro-American slate of candidates. They are not going to sit this one out.

If a RINO is on the Republican ticket, I'll be voting for and strongly supporting the best other-party conservative available. The GOP will either get conservative, or disappear into the dustbin of history.

When the GOP runs a conservative candidate, the GOP wins, and the whole country wins.

When the GOP runs a liberal candidate, the GOP loses, and the whole country suffers.

I will vote for any candidate that can win over Obama. Voting this disaster out is more important that any purity test we conservatives can conjure up.

But, I would like to vote for Palin/Petreaus.

A known liar and baiter.
You just described the people that are on the ping list you are part of.

I don’t like big government, one of the reason’s I actually worked in Reagan’s first campaign when he ran for gov.

You can’t debate one on one and usually end up pinging the
posse or have jumped on as part of the posse.

I keep seeing this mantra on numerous threads: “I am tired of seeing our candidate selected by the left.”

Other than perhaps McCain (honestly all of the 2008 GOP candidates stunk), who has been “selected by the left”for the Republicans in a presidential race?

Bush 43? Uh, no.
Dole? No. He was an establishment GOP pick who was “due”.
Bush 41? No. He was the VP.
Reagan. LOL.

I don’t really need to go on.

What about Pawlenty? He’s a lot more liberal or moderate on many issues than the guys you mentioned. Plus, he’s John McCain’s BFF and the favorite of the Establishment. He’s still on your list?

You’re right. I’ve written letters to the RNC and told them that they need to reward the states with the strongest Republican voting percentages by giving them the first primaries, then work down the line until the crappy liberal states bring up the rear in an irrelevant fashion.

This would actually be detrimental to me because I’m not a registered Republican and I live in California, but it’s the right thing for the Republican party to do.

In other words, you prefer statism to outright socialism.

I will VOTE. I don’t know who I will vote for. But I know for certain that it won’t be for a democrat.

I am a little bit despairing over the primary system.
I remember last year south carolina threw the vote to McCain, and it was all over.

I don’t see that anything has been done to fix the primary system.. open primaries, etc..

Oh, how about the continued unfettered growth of government no matter WHICH party is in power... or the fact that your beloved Shrub grew government at a rate unmatched in our history up to that time, yes, including the Klowntoon years... Is that enough for you? ‘Cause there’s LOTS more where that came from. And that’s just on THIS planet. I have no idea what planet YOU’RE either from or referring to, nor does it really matter. Your “party” is on life support and if you don’t start heading down the right path, you’ll never, ever again be put in charge of cleaning the public outhouses.

We need to change the primary system for the republicans now, but I don’t know how you do that.

Who is your candidate?

99% on FR who bash and make snarky remarks about Sarah Palin
will not say who they support saying it is too early or I don’t know because they can’t defend their candidate
and can’t take the heat.

Pawlenty has never been on my list, thus I failed to mention him.
