QUITTING is easier then standing up for what is right.
Never said I supported Romney, not a big govt fan and I have issues with his social policies.
Sorry to break the news to you, Palin failed to swing the Senate over to the GOP, think O’Donnell, Angle, Fiorina.
Palin endorsed less then 20 House members just over half won, that really tipped the balance.
Yes, as I life long conservative I must be a troll because I dare to question Palin’s pre-ordained status as the GOP nom in 2012.
Sarah Palin decided to stand up for what was right AND transform the country.
Never said I supported Romney, not a big govt fan and I have issues with his social policies.
So, you spent 2008 stealing your mother's sheets and using them to make Ron Paul "Revolution" banners that you hung from overpasses when you were stoned?
Sorry to break the news to you, Palin failed to swing the Senate over to the GOP, think O’Donnell, Angle, Fiorina.
You're point? She did help deliver the largest Congressional election victory in over a half century.
Palin endorsed less then 20 House members just over half won, that really tipped the balance.
You still haven't made a point.
Yes, as I life long conservative I must be a troll because I dare to question Palin’s pre-ordained status as the GOP nom in 2012.
You really do need to learn grammar.
Nevertheless, one of the biggest indicators of your troll status is your reluctance to say who you DO support.
Just reading your post - it screams of troll.
You can’t see it - trust me, conservatives can.
That’s my tip of the day!
“Palin failed to swing the Senate over to the GOP, think O’Donnell, Angle, Fiorina.”
The Senate wasn’t systemically set up to take this year, too many RINO seats. 2012 we take 6-8 more, maybe 10 in a route.
Palin’s fault?
“The National Republican Senatorial Committee spent $3 million in the week before the election on the ill-fated campaign of Carly Fiorina, despite polling that showed her trailing by 9 points to the tiny Marxist Barbara Boxer (Fiorina ended up losing by... 9.8%).
In the mean time, Ken Buck lost by a tiny margin in Colorado; Nevada’s Sharron Angle lost by a similar narrow vote total, Dino Rossi was edged by Patty Murray in Washington, 27,000 votes swung the election against Christine O’Donnell in Delaware and and Joe Miller is hanging by a thread in Alaska.
In Alaska, the final results may not be known for some time, but the NRSC’s final ads actually ended up helping Lisa Murkowski in her write-in campaign against GOP nominee Joe Miller. Instead of attacking Murkowski — the candidate who most threatened the party’s nominee — the NRSC instead took aim at Democrat Scott McAdams, who had no chance of winning. Any support they drove from McAdams was far more likely to go to Murkowski than to Miller — meaning the NRSC effort probably did more harm than good for Miller’s campaign.
In other words, the NRSC’s idiocy — combined with outrageous remarks by Karl Rove on national television — likely doomed four or five true conservative candidates to extinction.
In the post-election debrief, the Nixonian RINO contingent of Whimsy Graham, John Cornyn and the rest of the NRSC’s ludicrous cadre of losers blamed... staunch conservative Jim DeMint, who had funded a handful of Tea Party-backed Senatorial winners like Pat Toomey (PA), Marco Rubio (FL), Rand Paul (KY), Mike Lee (UT) and Ron Johnson (WI). “

You have yet to answer my post to you. What specifically do you disagree with Palins record as Governor? I’m talking about specific policies and ideology. Also not so fast. You say Palin endorsed a little ever 2o? Wrong. Palin had a plan called ‘Take Back The 20’ which was 20 districts that went democratic during the 08 campaign. Palin succeeded in taking back 19 of them.
Read and get educated:
During the 2010 midterm elections, Sarah Palin went hunting for Democrats and nearly bagged her limit.
“Take Back the 20,” Palin’s political action committee, targeted 20 congressional districts across the country that John McCain carried in 2008 but had Democratic representatives in Congress.
The results, listed below, are eye-opening. Palin succeeded in 18 of 20 districts, losing in West Virginia’s 3rd House District. At this time, the race in Arizona’s 8th House District is too close to call.
The 18 Republican winners unseated freshman politicians, congressional veterans and even House Budget Committee Chairman John Spratt.
Here is the list of the 20 candidates Palin endorsed and the 2010 midterm results:
Tim Griffin (AR-2): Griffin defeated Joyce Elliott, a Democrat, for the seat being vacated by the outgoing Rep. Vic Snyder (D-AR2) 58 percent to 38 percent.
Paul Gosar (AZ-1): Gosar defeated Rep. Joyce Kirkpatrick, the Democratic incumbent, 50 percent to 44 percent.
David Schweikert (AZ-5): Schweikert defeated Rep. Harry Mitchell, the Democratic incumbent, 53 percent to 42 percent. Mitchell had represented Arizona’s 5th District for two terms.
Jesse Kelly (AZ-8): As of Thursday afternoon, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the Democratic incumbent, holds a one-point lead over Republican challenger Jesse Kelly. In Arizona’s 8th District, Kelly and Giffords are separated by just 2,300 votes.
Scott Tipton (CO-3): In the rematch between Rep. John Salazar (D-CO3) and Scott Tipton, the Republican challenger, Tipton defeated the incumbent 50 percent to 46 percent. In 2004, Salazar originally won the seat and defeated Tipton in the 2006 midterm election.
Cory Gardner (CO-4): Freshman Rep. Betsy Markey (D-CO4) was defeated by Republican challenger Cory Gardner 53 percent to 41 percent.
Steve Southerland (FL-2): Rep. Allen Boyd, a Democrat, has represented Florida’s 2nd District since 1996. On Tuesday, funeral home director Steve Southerland, the Republican challenger, defeated Boyd 54 percent to 41 percent.
Sandy Adams (FL-24): Rep. Suzanne Kosmas, the Democratic incumbent, lost her bid for a second term to Republican challenger Sandy Adams 60 percent to 40 percent.
Larry Bucshon (IN-8): To paraphrase the famous song, Indiana’s 8th District wants Republican Larry Bucshon in Congress. Dr. Bucshon defeated Trent Van Haaften 58 percent to 37 percent, replacing outgoing Rep. Brad Ellsworth, a Democrat.
Todd Young (IN9): Republican challenger Todd Young defeated Rep. Baron Hill, the Democratic incumbent, 52 percent to 42 percent.
Rick Berg (ND-AL): In North Dakota’s lone, at-large congressional district, Republican challenger Rick Berg defeated Rep. Earl Pomeroy, the nine-term Democratic incumbent.
Jim Renacci (OH-16): Going for his second term, Rep. John Boccieri, the Democratic incumbent, lost his seat in Ohio’s 16th District to Republican challenger Jim Renacci 52 percent to 41 percent.
Bill Johnson (OH-6): Republican challenger Bill Johnson defeated Rep. Charlie Wilson, the Democratic incumbent, 50 percent to 45 percent.
Tom Marino (PA-16): Republican challenger Tom Marino defeated Rep. Chris Carney, the incumbent Democrat, in Pennsylvania’s 16th District 55 percent to 45 percent.
Mike Kelly (PA-3): Freshman Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper, a Democrat, lost her bid for a second term in Pennsylvania’s 3rd District to Republican challenger Mike Kelly 56 percent to 44 percent.
Mick Mulvaney (SC-5): House Budget Committee Chairman John Spratt, a Democrat, lost his re-election bid to Republican challenger to South Carolina state Sen. Mick Mulvaney 55 percent to 45 percent.
Diane Black (TN-6): Replacing the 13-term Rep. Bart Gordon (D-TN6), Diane Black, a Republican, defeated Democratic candidate Brett Carter in Tennessee’s 6th District 67 percent to 29 percent.
Robert Hurt (VA-5):Rep. Tom Perriello, the Democratic incumbent, lost his bid for a second term to Republican challenger Robert Hunt 51 percent to 47 percent. Hunt will represent Virginia’s 5th District in the House of Representatives.
David McKinley (WV-1): With only 1,357 votes separating him from his challenger, Rep. Michael Oliverio, the Democratic incumbent, conceded the race for West Virginia’s 1st Congressional District to David McKinley, a Republican.
Spike Maynard (WV-3): Rep. Nick Rahall, the Democratic incumbent, will continue to represent West Virginia’s 3rd Congressional District. Rahall defeated Republican challenger Spike Maynard 55 percent to 45 percent.
