The Unlikeable Palin

Be honest. Have you EVER heard Romney cogently explain how to create private sector jobs? I dare you to provide examples of him explaining how he specifically would do it from the dates of Nov. 2007 to the present. And then add up the jobs he eliminated/sent overseas and subtract this number from the jobs he “created” buying companies and cutting payrolls and report to us the answer. Romney is probably the worst candidate in a couple of generations. He’s the 2nd generation of 4 generations of trust fund Americans(nothing against that but he’s never faced any economic hardships, he’s never really had to work for a living,by the sweat of his brow, probably never changed a flat tire or had callouses on his hands). Has he changed his mind about not agreeing with the Reagan economic policies of the ‘80’s and the value of tax cuts in spurring economic growth/job creation during Reagan era? I will spend tens of thousands to defeat him for what he has done to Sarah Palin and for him allowing/standing by as the establishment GOP beta-males/girls have attacked /denigrated her from Sept. 1, 2008 to the present.

Thread winner.

Every candidate that she has endorsed ends up winning.

You said it before I did. And, I think the Dems are scared to death of her, that’s why they hate her so.

Your Post #8 is “RIGHT ON”

[Biblebelter]

That kind of reminds of Baby Bush.

As Ron Paul pointed out, Baby Bush was against nation building before he was for it.

That is the best foreign policy observation Ron Paul ever made, as I disagree with Ron Paul as much on foreign policy as I agree with him on economic policy.

I don't think the GOP candidate will be the Mormon Romney with his "Mormon Underwear" or Huckleberry, a Baptist Preacher from Arkansas; America is ready for neither. I think it will be a virtual dark horse such as Gov. Bobby Jindal of LA or Gov. Chris Christie of NJ.
But, I'm not counting out my girl Sarah.

Please explain how here credentials make her presidential material?

You may start with her education

What would you consider the minimum qualifications to be?

[SoConPubbie]

You may start with her education

So, you're an elitist!?

[SoConPubbie]

It is all about marketing and Romney can be marketed as a pro-business jobs creating candidate in a way that most of the most mentioned names cannot.
Yea, and tell us again how all of his money and all that PR effort trying to white-wash his past anti-GOP, anti-Conservative, and anti-God positions did in the 2008 Primaries?

Oh, that's right, he failed miserably against the worst possible candidate the GOP has put up in years, John "McAmnesty" McCain.

Romney will never win the nomination, he will attempt to act the spoiler though possibly allowing another John McCain or Huckster to slide through and dooming us to another 4 to 8 years of Democratic control of the Federal Government.

As Ron Paul pointed out, Baby Bush was against nation building before he was for it.

During the 2000 campaign, Bush actually got caught not knowing who Pervez Musharraf was. He sure as hell found out, didn't he!

[cynwoody]

Jindal is a good governor for LA, but ...

Jindal is not a Natural Born Citizen.

If Jindal gets traction in 2012, your gay definition of NBC will matter not a whit, especially since the Obama precedent has already been set in concrete.

[upsdriver]

I agree, Palin is quite likable in much the same way as Reagan. She’ll win converts by the bushel when the time is right. The right time will be between the nominating convention and the 2012 elections.

... especially since the Obama precedent has already been set in concrete.

Especially because of it. Double standards are a Democrat specialty.

[Da Mav]

Just nobody out there willing to take on the right people and say the right things like Sarah Palin. Until that changes she’s got my complete support.

It’s just hard to believe she hasn’t won more people over with her right on point attacks on the liberal agenda.

[EDINVA]

It’s not surprising that the majority of FReepers love and adore Sarah Palin. But we do not sway elections. Yes, Democrats fear her .. but so do Independents. Without the latter, you don’t win elections.

“Every candidate she has endorsed ends up winning” a Republican primary. Who, exactly, votes in Republican primaries? ta da .. conservatives! I don’t recall her being involved in either VA or NJ last year for the general, statewide elections, and can’t recall her endorsing either man at the top of the ticket. IIRC, the VA candidate asked her to stay out of the race, so that scenario is more likely in bluer NJ.

We won’t even know for sure after the ‘10 elections how her Right endorsements played because of the historically high anti-incumbent sentiment.

Right now there is no one on the GOP horizon that *I* would rather see carry the GOP banner in ‘12, but, frankly, I don’t think she can win. Not without a seachange in attitudes across the USA. I fear she’s been successfully Borked or Quayled. And I think she knows that but will use her influence where it can do some good.

[SoCalPol]

So what you are looking for is a candidate who doesn’t make waves such as not telling Boma where he is wrong,
tells the MSM what they want to hear so they don’t attack
that candidate.

No thanks, I will support Sarah Palin who can take care of herself vs. the MSM .

I don’t let the MSM tell me who to support

Yes, Democrats fear her .. but so do Independents. Without the latter, you don’t win elections.

That independent equals moderate is leftist propaganda (from Democrats and from RINOS).

The focus guy on FoxNews has shown that independents are NOT moderates, and that the vast majority of independents are conservative, far more conservative than either the Democrat communists or the RINO "moderates".

[SoCalPol]

You Betcha!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Palin hasn’t run for any national office except VP, and that was in McCain’s shadow so there was a limit on how bright she could shine. If she grabbed for the brass ring in earnest, her positive numbers would shoot up like a rocket.
