Obviously, you haven’t the slightest grasp of any reading comprehension skills whatsoever.
I was as raving anti-Clinton ( both of them ) many years prior to you even knowing that FR existed ( and, for that matter, also years prior to FR existing ), understood just HOW bad Obama was before most, including why his purported father’s African Marxism would influence him and how.
OTOH, my head isn’t anywhere near pissant’s rear, but yours is shoved so far up it, when he opens his mouth, everyone can see your eyeballs.
No pictures, please. I have standards you know.
And I’ll be damned if I share my women with you.

I agree, which is one of the reasons I support Sarah. We can't let what happened in 2008 happen in 2012.
I admit, Fed did that to me too. We'll never know what happened, if he was a stalking horse, or just didn't have the fire.
It should be interesting to see how all this plays out this time. I'm guessing it will come down to the Mittster or Sarah in the end, but no one really knows.
I don’t agree.
I pray to God you're wrong.
I pray most Americans understand well enough by now that government "solutions to our problems" have gotten the country into the dire condition its in currently.
IMO most people have accepted government as a necessary evil, and just want to be left alone as much as possible.
Any politician - Palin or not - who appeals to this sentiment will blow away the field.
Well said.
Ed, first, that was one of the most awkward segues I’ve ever read.
Second, no, Sarah Palin is not Ronald Reagan. There was, is and always will be only one Gipper. She does, however, appear in many ways to be an honorable, credible successor to him, and in fact just may be the closest thing the Republican Party has had to him (in principles, skills, and temperament, rather than resume) since he retired.
Third, if Governor Palin is no Ronald Reagan, the other current probable contenders for the 2012 GOP nomination are for the most part, and I’ll be kind, even less likely prospects.
Fourth, perhaps you hadn’t noticed, but Governor Palin is an adult woman who, in order to become governor, beat her immediate predecessor (the incumbent) in the Republican primary, and then beat his immediate predecessor in the general election. This before anybody much outside of Alaska. This, also, in a year (2006) when a lot of Republican candidates weren’t doing so well. I think she’s probably not entirely ignorant of what she needs to do to win high office against tough competition. I don’t know if it irritates her when would-be advisors write to her as if she were a not particularly bright child, but it definitely irritates me.
Fifth, I remember 2008 and 2009. No, Governor Palin did not just quit. She didn’t get bored with the day-to-day grind of a normal gubernatorial term. If it’d been that, we’re most likely not even having this discussion. Whatever that ugliness was, it was not boring. It’s disingenuous enough for the other side to skip over that. It’s just plain dishonest for anybody on our side to do it.
Sixth and finally, I remember you, Ed. Between you and Governor Palin, if I have to put money on who’s more likely to say or do something stupid and self-destructive in this next election cycle...I’m betting on you.
To 252 - Then explain Hunter’s showing in the ‘08 GOP primaries. Or did that “deep command” suddenly vanish into thin air?
Would you care to point to where I have ever posted such a thing?
You’re grasping at straws, losing this debate, and you apparently never learn when to stop digging.
I have an overwhelming sense of Deja-poo.
“This before anybody much outside of Alaska”...knew who she was.
Ugh. Can we get an edit function up in here?
It does seem that there are those who would foist Romney upon us, but that would be a tragic mistake.
Listen, I'm not clairvoyant. All I can go by are the polls that I read. I haven't seen any poll that has been taken post-election or post-resignation that shows a huge up-swell of support for Palin. Maybe you have, and if you have, please post it because I'd love to read it. But, everything I've seen shows that anywhere between 60-75% of the country doesn't think she's qualified to be president. That's going to be tough to overcome.
"What about the mid-terms? Nothing there either?"
She supported Republican candidates in a year that was great for Republicans. Did those Republicans do great because of "Sarah Palin". I don't know, why don't we ask Senator-elect Miller what he thinks - oh, wait.
No one is saying Sarah Palin doesn't bring energy to the base, at least I'm not saying that. She does. And, in House races that is intensely important. But, as last month showed, that isn't always enough in statewide races, nor will it be enough in a national race (which is really just a collection of state-wide races). If it was enough, we'd have Senators-elect Angle, Miller, O'Donnell Buck etc, etc. The middle still swings state-wide elections, especially in the swing states (or purple states), and right now, the middle loathes Sarah Palin.
Great conservative candidates can win in purple states. One needs look no further than Rubio to see evidence of this. But, poor conservative candidates in these purple states usually get shellacked. That's not a coincidence.
Whom to believe? ~snicker~
Everyone makes mistakes. Most of the time, it’s clear what a poster meant.
On the other hand, if you want to see some candid pictures of Anna K, let me know. I will email you them from my phone.
Gotta go now, we are heading back out to the beach to have dinner and watch the sun set.
Whom do you support?
Onyx, ask OldDeckHand to explain to you how it would have benefited Sarah and Alaska for her to have finished out her term. Watching him flailing around trying to answer that question last time made me laugh my ass off. Maybe you can get him to do it for you too. (He might just be dumb enough to fall for it again.)
