Mark Steyn: Sarah Palin a better king maker than GOP candidate
The Right Scoop ^ | May 13,2011

Posted on 05/13/2011 6:17:38 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Mark Steyn says he has a soft spot for Tim Pawlenty and believes he may be the last man standing to challenge Obama in 2012. He also says Newt won’t be President and that Trump isn’t conservative and trashes his demonization of China as the single source of all that ails us.

As for Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin, Steyn says he wouldn’t advise them to enter the field of 2012 GOP candidates. He says Sarah Palin would make a better king-maker and Huckabee should stick with his successful Fox News show.

I loved how T-Paw stood up to Franken and his Socialists when they attempted to steal the senate election.

Oh wait....T-Paw just stayed quiet in the corner and refused to stop the ongoing fraud and allowed Franken to be elected.

And some here think T-Paw will have the cajones to stand up to islamic and communist evil?

No thanks!!!!

Steyn was born Canadian but lives in northern New Hampshire. I’m not sure if he’s an American citizen but he sure is an American patriot.

“Sarah would pile all up behind Cain. Everybody else would fall into place.”

His lack of experience was evident in the debate.....Witty little “How’s that workin’ for ya” phrases don’t work as well when there is no history of successfullly leading in the governmental sector as Palin has in Alaska.......Something just isn’t right with him in my book.....Just my opinion, but why pile up behind someone else when you can do a better job yourself?.....

West is NOT running !
He's only been in office a few months, for crying out loud! Leave the man alone !

YOU have NO idea what West will do.

Thank God he has only been in office a short time and we need to get him out of that CONgressional cesspool asap before the slime of that body has a chance to stick to him.

What we need, and are sadly lacking now and in all these so-called potential candidates, is LEADERSHIP.

LTC Allen West is not only a natural born citizen, he is a natural born LEADER!

LTC Allen West is a man of honesty and INTEGRITY...two more attributes missing in our current government make-up.

LTC Allen West is a man of HONOR, another attribute sorely missing on the political landscape today.

Photobucket

Congressman LTC Allen West for President 2012 … West above the rest!

I was refering to Steyn;s take on Huckabee and Palin; I don’t share his take on T-Paw being presidential.

Yes, the Bushes have chosen Daniels...

Really? Which of the Bushes have chosen Daniels for 2012?

I keep seeing claims like this and references to the "Bush Machine" with absolutely no substance or proof to back the claim.

Please support your claim or I will assume y'all are just trying to keep the BDS Club going.

Palin is the only true conservative out there...

Let's not go there, K?

2008 turned into the "who's most conservative" race to the point of ridiculous. When John McCain is called conservative, the word has lost all meaning.

DITTO! If HE chooses Sarah as his VP they would be unstoppable, IMHO.

I also see her as a “king maker” and if Sarah doesn’t see any “kings” to be made in the field, she’ll step in and take over.

"...your... "reasoning" and... "logic" have exceeded my comprehension abilities..."

Doubtless. Still in all, for future reference (in case you worry that others might find you as insipid as you do) for something to be "indiscernible" or "tortured," it has to deviate from a rational, simple, follow-the-dots path.

My explanation was very simple and easily followed progression which I have explained to several dozen bloggers here on FR and elsewhere. My seven-year-old neice gets it. Only you have thus far professed a (patently disingenuous) inablitity to follow it. Perhaps you feel that by "playing stupid," people will assume that, in fact, you aren't. Wrong again.

I can't help you with your envy over my Freeper logon except to say that we all makes our choices, and then we accepts the consequences. Huh, Boozer?

Endure if you can. Give up if you must. But from here on out, you're on your own.

8^D

That’s my take on it too, ak267.
That attitude really ticks me off!
They want to use her for their advantage, but don’t want her upsetting their playhouse.
After all of the hard work, risks, and money she has spent the last 3 years (not to mention the efforts she will put in on her campaign) she deserves first crack at the prize.

Just more Lefty whistling past Lady Tombstone...

Thank you, Mark, for unwittingly admitting to your abject terror at the very thought of a President Palin. You can run, but you can't hide... because Sarah's coming.

LMAO!!!!

Mark Steyn is a Lefty???
