Battle Begins for 2012 GOP Contenders
CBS ^ | Brian Montopoli

Posted on 04/07/2010 9:44:37 PM PDT by deek69

very four years, in between presidential elections, conservative activists gather to take stock of some of the most prominent names in the Republican Party -- and consider which of them has what it takes for a successful run for the White House.

That gathering, the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, takes place this Thursday through Saturday in New Orleans. Among the speakers will be Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Bobby Jindal, Michael Steele, and Sarah Palin, whose speech will be closely watched for signs as to whether the former Alaska governor is serious about a presidential run or is opting instead a lucrative media career.

cBS wants Newtie-toot-toot in there blowing his own little horn and that goof ball Ron Paul to get some exposure just to make our side look like a bunch of odd balls which would re-elect Obozo.

[like bans on turning people away for pre-existing conditions, would not be eliminated]

How does that work? How do Republicans get behind that? That’s the most crippling part of the healthcare bill.

Newt is to politics as Greenspan is to finance. They both need to just go away already.

So, out of that list the only to viable candidates would be Palin and Jindal.

Jindal is NOT eligible to hold the office of POTUS per article two of our Constitution. He is NOT a 'natural born citizen' as both his parents were foreign nationals at the time of his birth in Louisianna.

That's clearly to make sure people think that Republicans are kooks and fringe crazy people.

As we well know, Paulites are kooks and fringers, but they certainly don't belong with a group of Republicans.

Paul is the quintessential RINO! :)

Correction.

He'll be lucky to get .07 per cent of a PRIMARY!

Re: Your comment on too much estrogen.

Unfortunately for conservatives, they also seem to have more testosterone than any of the men in the GOP!

A sad truth.

LOL - of course I meant the primary. Do you remember all of the Paulestinians on here in '07 who were just positive that Ron Paul was going to WIN the '08 primary and subsequently the presidency and they believed it? They would gloat about how shocked we would all be.

They're a very ideological little cult.

Thank you for the welcome. I really like
Ryan after the Blair House meeting. He sounds like someone I could get behind. What about your preference?

Honestly, I've never paid attention to them before now, they're just so weird.

It's only that they are stirring up the daily hornet's nest and trying to take down our best hopes to deal with the democrat agenda that I've paid any attention.

They're a juvenile bunch of snot nosed pimple faced idiots!

Even the old ones.......

All good pols, but unless Americans are guilted into an AA candidate, they want executive political experience in their Presidents. Palin’s 2 1/2 years as guv (and that she was an executive in government for years before) qualify her by that standard. The others are at best veep material right now.

Yep. He looks like a keeper.

Sorry Lake. Just alluding to a coaches response after he was asked about the “upcoming” playoffs when his team can’t even win a game.

“Playoffs, what playoffs”?

Point being, The USA is currently in critical shape. This country needs help now. I could care less whether Palin, McLame, etc. are running in 2.5 years.

I apologize for the cryptic message.

Thanks for the clarification. I understand now.

I'm on record as saying 2010 is where it's at, it's our only chance to stop the radical agenda from destroying us.
