Nearly half of the Republican Primary voters who support Sarah Palin say they are at least somewhat likely to vote for a third-party candidate if she does not win the GOP presidential nomination.

ROFL....If not for Palin there would have been no 2010 victory for the gOP. Before Palin left her job those “fine” conservatives you say were “doing their jobs” were holding pizza parties saying we must move beyond reagan and work with Obama.
Your hatred blinds you.
Palin has been fighting day in day out for Reaganism not some liberalRINO vision of the world.
You fail to admit that there has been none of those FINE conservatives leading the attack on Obama.
As far as the rest of your comment it sounds like huffington Post/leftist talking points and you call yourself a conservative? go vote for one of those RINO’s hiding under his desk that you seem to be in love with.
Here’s why the entire republican party should have stood up for her against the Tucson nonsense, because it’s not just about her, and if they don’t defend her against this kind of nonsense, then no republican can be safe of ever win in 2012: http://legalinsurrection.blogspot.com/2011/01/we-just-witnessed-medias-test-run-to-re.html
Are you really going to help re-elected 0bama, just because your particular political messiah didn't get the nomination?
Yep, the GOP and the country will deserve it because I sure as hell won't be voting for Barbour, Romney, Pawlenty, Daniels, or Huck.
I see simple math is beyond your grasp.
I want a REAL conservative and right now Palin is just about the only one.
The people you mentioned above, plus the others in the Republican chattering class, will not support Palin even if she gets the Convention nod. They will give obvious luke-warm support and do everything possible to stab her in the back. They would rather see our Country die than have someone other than themselves in charge.
I believe Sarah is the real deal and would vote for her in a heartbeat. Having said that, she has an uphill battle to winning the nomination. Reagan was passionately hated by the left as well, but back then the fullness of the time had not come to fruition for the 40 and under electorate to be thoroughly endoctrinated by the public school system and leftist universities. The old media now has picked up where liberal professors left off and continues to promulgate the lies to these mush heads. I am a realist and, if Sarah doesn’t run and get the nomination, I hope to have another conservative option from which to choose.
Thank you...well said.
You position seems to be that the Party should remain neutral. I have no problem with that, and you’re right, Sarah can take care of herself. What I find particularly hypocritical about the GOP establishment types and your position in general, is that they had no problem piling on after she did speak out for herself. If they were truly neutral, then they should have kept their mouths completely shut instead of stabbing her in the back once she made her statement.
Titus, You are a fricken liar when it comes to Palin.
*rolls eyes at the naivete of that post*
I don't think the nastiness began with the pro Palin folks. Pissant and a couple of others popularized the insult talking points, and a dozen others follow with nothing but derogatory postings. I'm not suggesting you're one of them, just saying what is pretty obvious to most on FR.
I tend to agree with Titus comment.
Ah, the insult card is played again...
That's BS and you know it. The GOP has been doing everything it can to try and stop Sarah Palin and undermine her potential candidacy before she even declares.
If the GOP poo-bahs sabotage her before and during the primaries, then I refuse to reward the corrupt GOP with my vote. Period. And like I said, I am NOT alone.
I knew McCain was not going to win because I was not excited about him being the nominee. I held my nose and because of that I knew that many republicans probably stayed home or lacked the excitement to sell their nominee to those undecided.
It's very rare that I would ever vote third party. If I do that it would probably be in very local elections. In 2012 a vote for a third party is a vote for Obama. There is nobody as far left as this President in the republican party. This man we have in the WH makes Sue Collins look more like a Ronald Reagan, It's a shame but that's where we're at. A vote for a 3rd party in 2012 (with the intentions of teaching your party a lesson or improving your party) will be putting party above America. Any republican who threatens to vote 3rd party in 2012 is downplaying just how bad of a President Obama is and how serious the situation remains for our nation.
Rove,Huckster,PrissyPerino,Gingrich,Frum,Etc,Etc They cannot handle the competition even to show common decency. She got more Democrats sticking up for her than those cowardly,competition minded,overly driven scuzzbuckets.
The only way for the Democrats to keep Obama in office is to split the Republicanss and encourage a third party campaign.
They can have a third party, but not us!
Ralph Nader 2012 !!!
No we didn't...We warned you guys time and again that the choice was yours...Ross Perot or Bill Clinton...You stayed home and gave the win to Clinton...
Had Ross not run, we would have stayed home...We didn't forget; 'read my lips', 'new world order', 'nafta'...
Unfortunately, I think you nailed it.......a truly sad state of affairs.
Heh...you actually believe that?
