While it is a false statement it's certainly much closer to the truth than what TQC has to say.

LOL!

I would like to see Palin as the Republican nominee.And then become the President of the U.S. just for the sole purpose of watching the liberals’ head explode especially the liberal media reporters’ head explode!

I will agree with that. Palin has done alot. More than her share both in campaigning for 2010 candidates and in firing back at Obama’s agenda. Let’s not just stretch it to only status.

No RINOs ever.
I voted Keyes in the last election.

No McCain. No Romney, no Giulianni. No Trump.

The last non-conservative president made American citizenship all but pointless

That would be Mr. Obama whose reelection chances would be improved exponentially if Conservatives bolt the GOP as they did in 1992. The way to turn the GOP into a Conservative party is to elect Conservatives to Congress as we did in 2010 and to run Conservative candidates for President. The way to destroy the country is to reelect Obama.

Your statement “There are plenty of fine conservatives out there in addition to Palin” makes it sound like you support her. But then you come out with:

“Palin has really not done a whole lot, aside from withdrawing from her elected position once the pressure got to be too much for her, and then writing (or having ghost-written) a book, and made some speeches. Big deal.”

If you support her, your comments about her accomplishments would sound very different.

If your opposition to Palin is something you prefer to conceal, let’s take a look at that and call it what it is.

Get prepared to call me names. Here's my opinion:

"The US electoral process is probably dead. Both parties skew Left, one more than the other. Neither party supports the Constitution. Voting appears to be a waste of time, as political change (toward the Left) seems to come about no matter who is elected. It is not too late -- the GOP establishment could still support some true Conservative for president. But, if that sort of support is not forthcoming, then any vote is a joke. The only hope then, would be in revolution. And one could argue that revolution would get here faster if we all vote for Obama's second term."

I'm hoping to vote for someone like Palin. And, yup, voting for Obama is one of my fallback positions.

Those who don't like it can bite me.

We must Never count her out, she will make that call, not the half a$$ed Pubbies and their less that conservative candidates.

I just know that those afforemnentioned Pubbies wet their knickers when they saw her climbing up the side of a mountain and did not quit.

Hope you enjoy it!

That would be Mr. Obama

I believe that there should be a fiercely contested primary, where candidates debate issues and policy in the most intelligent manner possible, and make their case directly to Republican primary voters. Whoever makes their case best, wins. Whoever wins, deserves to be supported without equivocation in the general election, because the alternative is to hand the opposition the election on a platter.

The alternative is also known as stupidity on steroids.

Let me put it another way. Sarah, Michelle, DeMint, the Tea Partiers, and whole bunch of others have become very popular with conservative voters.

A number of warning shots have been fired accross the Republican Party bow, think Bennet in Utah.

The RINO’s are undoubtably thinking they still will name the nominee.

I’m saying, the above illustates just a small amount of power we now have, and will have, to influence the decision.

My family will go for a third party Conservative candidate (hopefully Sarah!) before voting for a Republican establishment pick like Romney, McCain, Gingrich, or a host of others.

I can't see Sarah being defeated for the GOP nomination and then running on a third-party ticket.

That is a dishonorable move and Sarah is not dishonorable.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about, and I imagine you don’t either.”

Without knowing it, you were talking to yourself there.

The Republican Party shows its support for political figures every day, year round, both within the structure of elections and without.

The Republican Party will get no more than a spit on the sidewalk from me if they sabotage Palin.

Are you really going to help re-elected 0bama ... Yep, the GOP and the country will deserve it

Perhaps you should start a "Freepers for Obama" ping list and you and others of your ilk can compare notes, volunteer for your local ACORN clone organization, and do some community organizing.

And if a socialist who passed a healthcare mandate wins the nomination you would have no problem voting for that socialist against the other socialist that passed a healthcare mandate because the alternative of the other socialist winning is just too terrible to think about.

yeah ok....sounds like a plan.../

You are lying or not living in reality. Here is an exact quote from you unseen1 on this thread:

“If the dems came out tomorrow and embraced freedom and liberty and I was certain they meant it, I would have no problem voting for them.”

See so you did say you would vote for democrats.

Voting for democrats is voting for socialism and your own destruction. This is something liberals/democrats don't understand.

democrat politicians always lie and say that they are for freedom etc. I would never vote for a democrat ever. Every democrat is a socialist that is for Amnesty. Name one democrat politician that is for anything good like abolishing a government agency or deporting illegals. That you would even consider voting for democrat politician tells me all I need to know.

Socialism is pure evil,oppression, starvation, slavery and doesn't work. democrats are socialists one and all.
