I love America.

So I’m not particular for 2012. If you can beat Obama, I’ll support and vote for you.

With rare exceptions. Please don’t run Mel Gibson.

Obama isn’t running. He has no desire to be a two-term President. It’s somewhat obvious when you dis Democrats, Independents and Republicans that he is gone. The base wants a ‘real Democrat’, maybe a Dean comeback.

Eye of the Newt for me.He would make bambi look like a lost smarmy school boy in a debate with Newt.
As much as I love Sarahs heart.You have to have an intellectual mind to bury Bambi for good.

If Paul Ryan runs I will personally knock on every door in Ma. myself.

I’ll never vote for Gingrich.

I still see the picture of him and Pelosi on the bench in that commercial...

It’s not that any of the Republican candidates are particularly well liked. Only Huckabee has positive favorability numbers

This is the bogus line that starts Republican strategists down the wrong path! This is how we wound up with McCain in 2008.

Newt Gingrich doesn't even know yet that the Obama Junta and its associated movement is nationalist socialist. ( fascist). He is not even in the game. Today he advised the Tea Party to meet and with the NAACP. One does not meet with national socialists, one ridicules them for being un-American, and destroys them if necessary.Historical justice is the calling card of every fascist that ever came to power, and poor Newt doesn't even get it. Or if he does he is not letting on. Newt's advice today would destroy the Tea Party,its rank and file leaving in droves.

Newt wants to destroy the Tea Party before it gains an intractable foothold on his self serving,elitist, Republican country club progressive party. Since he is not in the game, why in all tarnation should he run or be supported? BUahahahahahahahaha!

A man who doesn't know his ash-hole from a hole in the ground running for president? Yeah right.

What with all the open primaries, it’s hard to feature any conservative winning the nomination.

Still pushing AlGore’s global warming disciple, huh? Laughable.

Just for kicks, in a Gallup Poll in July 1978, the equivalent time period, Pres Carter was ahead of Fmr CA Governor Ronald Reagan by 52-43, a 5 pt gain from his 50-46 lead in May 1978. So Palin is already 9 pts ahead of where Reagan was at this point.

Also, PPP polls always have these results that don’t really make sense. For example, in favorability Huckabee is 33-33 among Hispanics, Palin is 21-67. Among blacks Huckabee is 21-25, Palin is 8-92. Obama is 63-30 among hispanics and 88-13 among blacks. Yet, when it comes to a matchup vs Obama among hispanics Huckabee loses 24-68 while Palin loses 25-63 and among blacks Huckabee loses 4-92 while Palin loses 13-83, which would be the best performance by a Republican among the black vote since 1980. Doesn’t make sense that Huckabee would be much more favorable among blacks yet do far worse vs Obama. They have Gingrich getting 17% of the black vote! Highly suspect results. If any Republican even tops 5% of the black vote against Obama I’d be shocked.

BTW, I would not be surprised if PPP fudged the numbers a bit to give Obama the tie with Palin. Although, if they did have her ahead they would probably get more media attention so maybe they didn’t fudge them. Still, I wouldn’t put it past them.

You’re the same guy who came out against Fred Thompson.

Now you show up again with this.

Funny how you always come out against the one true conservative with the best chance of winning the nomination.

The GOP candidate for President should be the GOP Governor of New Jersey: Chris Christie

oh yea...Newt has such high character. He dumps not 1 but 2 wives just as they’ve been diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses. Wife #1 dumped on her hospital bed as she’s undergoing cancer treatment. Wife #2 dumped on Mother’s Day just 4 days after being diagnosed with MS. Just wait until women voters are reminded of this. The schmuck’s no better than John Edwards. Both wives were dumped for much younger “models.” I’d vote for my dog before Newt.

Too close, the Democrats can still steal it.

Well, we are not going to let the old Republican establishment and the Democratic news media pick our candidate this time. They trashed Reagan for years.

“He trails Mitt Romney 46-43, Mike Huckabee 47-45, Newt Gingrich 46-45, and is even tied with Sarah Palin at 46.”

Newt and Mitt can go pound sand but frankly any of the four would be preferable to the idiot currently ruling our nation.

Here's what I think, but I'm just a lowly country boy who's family is pro-military with a long history of it.

Palin is from a basicly rural area. She knows how to raise a family like me. She knows what threatens her family like me.

She can hunt, fish, and pray to God, like me.

She has a son serving our country, like me. She's trying the best way she can to serve this country.....and yet so many people are putting her down as "stupid" or "incompetent".

I've read about the things she did in Alaska. Compare those to any other GOP hopeful. And don't even give me that "well, she quit" BS......Y'all know why!

I'm not intellectual and have no college degree or anything like that, but I do know what it takes to be an American and know what conservative Americans want.

Well I want Palin to run, and I hope she picks Rep. Steve King from Iowa to be her VP.

(just my 2 cents)
