On average women make lousy voters, so I’m OK with repealing the 19th amendment. But if we do that, just to be fair let’s also require that all office holders be women. We men will vote in the Margaret Thatchers and Sarah Palins, and everything will be as close to perfect as possible.

It’s funny. I have plenty of women FRiends here. Some of them even support Palin. They take it for what it’s worth. Which is about nothing. Even my wife has said much the same as Coulter and I. If I was beating the drum for 19A repeal here or anywhere else, you’d have a point. But I don’t. And its even funnier that I urge both men and WOMEN to VOTE for conservative men or WOMEN. Kinda odd for such an activist, wouldn’t you say? It’s only the rabid cabal of “Sarah Only” fanatics that pull up this crap about hating women and such.

That's an answer!?!?! Wow, you have a future as a politician, especially after admitted on several subsequent threads it was 'no secret' and that you 'believe as Jefferson' does.

So tell me, piss, were you lying then or now? Or do you just pull crap like this outta your rear to garner attention?

There are lousy voters in every demographic, male, female, black, white, etc.

I will ask you the same question I asked another freeper:

Since women make lousy voters, and blacks historically have been shown to put race above all else, are you in favor of also rescinding their right to vote because they're lousy voters?

I’ll try to ignore the anklebiters and give you a reply in the same vain it was asked. I didn’t intend for my dry response to be an admonishment. I just assumed that you knew my reasons for not supporting Palin, and were just trying to bait me into another argument.

A few reasons I don’t support Palin are as follows:

Amnesty - her position as she has described it several times is identical to McCains. I do not support candidates that will not rule out all forms of amnesty.

LOST - this is perhaps even worse for US Soverignty than amnesty. It is a treaty Reagan rejected with gusto, it is a treaty that conservatives rejected again in 2007 when Bush was pushing it. It is also a treaty that Palin begged Senators Murkowski and Stevens to pass.

TARP - she supported this stinking boondoggle. And for those who said it was just because she was on the McCain team, she scolded conservatives for opposing it in her 2009 book.

DADT - She just recently bumped (re-tweeted) her friend Tammy Bruce’s pro-queer tweet regarding the repeal of DADT. Her fans here complained that that did not REALLY mean she supported it and that she would clarify her position. Well, you don’t bump a friends position w/o comment unless you support it. And, as I expected, despite the huge uproar, she did not try to “clarify” her position. And the only other answer regarding DADT she is known to have given was to Chris Wallace last year. Her answer was she did not support it repeal “at this time” because there were more important things for the military to worry about. IOW, it’s a matter of when, not if.

Title IX - Palin unflinchingly supports this feminist clap trap that is the epitome of federal nannystate BS.

Carbon Caps - Palin was asked to clarify her rambling answer on global warming during her debate with Joe Biden. The moderator asked her, “just to be clear, you support caps on carbon emmissions?” Her answer, “I do, I do”. On top of that she stated that global warming is “real” and that “we have to do something about it”. Nonsense.

Abortion - Palin is a self admitted federalist when it comes to abortion. A federalist on the life of the unborn, but a statist on women playing college sports. Think about that.

Jeb will wait until late next year, when it will become obvious that "None of the Above" is the the clear frontrunner.

"In the interest of party unity", flanked by his father and brother, Jeb will enter the race.

Despite some conservative opposition, he will suddenly seem to be the inevitable winner - like McCain did in 2008. He'll take the nomination, with Palin finishing a solid second. She'll decline to be his running mate. He'll pick Eric Cantor or Paul Ryan.

He'll beat Obama by 3%. Leftist heads will explode, but sober Democrats will breathe a sigh of relief.

The Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama/Bush government will continue uninterrupted.

NO MORE BUSHES!!!

Could not take another one, especially Jeb. But you're likely correct. The dark horse is Jeb.

It’s possible, but I don’t think the Bush name will be as golden as that.

To add, I doubt it will be a dark horse at all- just the MSM saying so. It will be some RINO or limp wristed (R) like Pawlenty or Daniels. In light of all this new ‘civility’ (laughs), look for a kinder, gentler GOP candidate. UGH.

Nah, he’ll be gushed over by the MSM. Jeb will give some contrived story about his time away from politics was a discovery about all that was wrong, including his own party. He’ll reject the right, shift to the middle (as if he wasn’t already there if not more), and the MSM will love him for it. It will be Jeb vs. Romney with Huck once again the stalking horse.

That’s a depressing scenario. That will indicate a complete collapse of the new conservative movement.

That's an answer!?!?

No, it was a response to your posting for the umpteenth time the same quote you did on this thread. Lucky for you I don't spam my responses the way you spam that post.

It is depressing. But we're already seeing it now. We saw it right after the election too.

It will be interesting to see which direction the RNC heads. It will also be interesting to see what Dem rises up to challenge Obama. If it's a blue dog, we may see a repeat of 1996.

Regardless, I'm fully prepared to go write-in or 3rd party. Just can not go through another RINO. Can't and won't.

Nice non-answer.

And hon, they're your words, not mine.

If it comes to pass, I’ll write-in, yet again.

It wasn’t an answer. Because you had no question. You posted my quote and gave a lecture. It was a response. If you like I can just spam that response each time you insert those quotes.

Yep. No problem with that. Millions will likely do that same, too.

And of course, we'll here the same 'anybody but Obama' mantra once again. Vote for the big R!!! We're not THAT bad!

Oy.
