You really are a cultist if you think conservatives opposing your Precious are going to be for Mitt or Paul. Snap out of it.

personally i dont think that she is running but i could be wrong
either way that statement gives her great leeway. she can pretty much do whatever she wants and walk away with that statement intact
really is a great manuever actually.

I say we just vote now and get it over with.

No need for ballots, it will be a WRITE IN vote just like the DEMS allowed in the last election.

No need to wait until 2012, as the DEMS also have already set the precedent for voting early, due to it being so much of an effort to expect DEM voters to go to the polls on the proper day.

I say vote NOW. Then, when we have a winner, they can declare themselves PRESIDENT ELECT (just like Obama did) and take over the leadership position in the Executive Branch, and tell Obama “PLEASE GO”.

There were only two to choose from (three if you count Tommy Thompson who dropped out very quickly). Tanc and Hunter. You actually believe that Hunter would have put up such a pansy-ass fight like McCain against Obama had he been nominated? LOL.


Duncan Hunter would have cleaned Obama’s clock in a general election. Hunter definitely would have not wussed out against Obama.

Also, Hunter was the only GOP candidate who did not support Free Trade with Communist China....that issue alone would have sealed a win against Obama. Obama used McCain’s Open Borders/Free Trade liberalism against him in the Midwest and won the Midwest states. That would not have worked against Hunter...especially because Obama himself is really a Liberal Globalist

If the GOP would run conservatives, they will win presidential elections...no matter who the Dems run.

Of course they want to make money but that isn’t what drives them. Sarah and Todd are on a cause greater than themselves. If they had their druthers, I believe they’d be just as happy to retire from the public scene and live their simple life. As I believe that to be true is why I support them and others who are willing to give of themselves for a short time in service to their country. We should be so fortunate that other capable civic minded citizens take up the cause. That’s the only way we’ll ever return our country to a constitutional republic.

Like someone else said Sarah has been running since 2009. I bet she will be going overseas a lot in 2011 to build up her foreign policy experience.

I will vote GOP in 2012. The only candidates that I am enthustiastic about so far are Palin and Pence.

Huck? Romney? Thune? Pawlenty? It will feel like I did when I voted for McCain. Actually worse, because I was able to comfort myself with the fact that McCain was a war hero and served his country honorably.

“Sarah will win the nomination in a cakewalk and the White House in a landslide.”

Would that you are right. The US electorate is terminally stupid though. Bush narrowly beat two absolute clowns. I fear that the adoration for the One combined with the visceral hatred that Palin evokes because of her genuine virtue will give US another narrow election and possibly another term for the One.

More than that, if it looks close, I fully expect O to seize control and cancel the election.

By 2012 the GOP could run a corpse and win.

I'm laughing at your post and picture, but I don't care how much PISSANT takes the opposing position on Sarah Palin being qualified/experienced/bestchoice/able to win, etc. for the office of PRESIDENT of the U.S. A poster who simply agrees with whatever opinion I hold, or a majority hold, does me no good.

If anything, PISSANT can be seen as being the devil's advocate. It is easy to get 'enthused' with Sarah Palin, and ignore the questions of those who are also gonna vote. It's good to have somebody question or counter your beliefs, and see just how correct your beliefs are.

Sarah Palin will be held to even worse scrutiny, comparison, and judgment if she runs for President.

LET HER FLY, PISSANT. Good results come from GOOD CHALLENGES.

May the best MAN or WOMAN win!

The day she announces that she isn't running is the day a lot of people stop caring about what she has to say. She has no choice but to run.

Very astute, I hope people grasp the wisdom, of course it is totally lost on pissant.

Your man couldn't even put up a pansy-ass fight against that great candidate "unsure". He lost by more than a 2-1 margin to "unsure".

Now that's just pitiful (kind of like your one man party). So far the list of candidates you want to support might even do worse than that.

Well, not all of us can pimp for RINOs. It’s a bridge too far. Most conservatives can see through the BS of people like your hero Mitt, and Palin’s hero, McCain.

That's probably true. Any one of these candidates could win but that isn't what motivates me. We have a serious debt/spending problem in Washington DC and it needs to be addressed. Other than Sarah Palin, I doubt any of the others have the will, knowledge or desire to change the way things are done. Most of those candidates are entrenched in "old thinking". I like the budgetary approach Palin took as city councilwoman, mayor and governor. We have a better chance of eliminating unnecessary programs with her as president and a bunch of new tea party minded congressmen and senators on the job. Winning is worthless if it isn't followed up with results.

um i am pretty sure that TLC show is about the money

I doubt she is turning the money down, nor will the tourism industry of Alaska. But if you think Money is the goal, you are indeed delusional.

Sure, Duncan is a good guy, but the only problem is that hardly anyone knows who he is. Also, I think he said that he isn’t running.

There wa a thread a few days ago, it got short shrift, but essentially Palin said that anyone who goes to DC and doesn't clean out the career staff of advisors that populate the town, would be a fool.

It's sure to be quite the circus.

With little one cheering on the most progressive of the wannabees.
