Your RNC chairman this coming election was picked by the hardest hard core people in the Establishment wing of the party.

He'll do what he's told.

Good point. But rules don’t apply to the only one who is a threat. That tells me more about Michelle - it’s more about her and the mutt and not our country - politicians mindset.

It’s Sarah The Proven Fighter for ‘We the People’ or no one. How refreshing to be able to vote FOR a person who represents me to a T (if she runs).

If they hadn’t spent so much time saying how bad Obama was, and actually put into words what they would actually do, not just what needs to be done, they would have a lot more credibility.

Why should she waste her breath talking about Romneycare when she can’t do anything about it, even Romney can’t do anything about it since he is not the Governor, and either is Michele.

“Her campaign manager sure did say something negative against another woman who’s not even in the race yet

What was said that wasn’t the truth? VP candidates are handed the spot on the ticket, Palin did give up her Governship of Alaska. Just more of you Palin fantics thin skin.

Did someone fail to worship properly at the alter of Palin for you?

Was it a valid analysis or not?

I'd say it was.

Anyone trying to make a point that she is somehow obeying Reagan's 11th Commandment and refuses to acknowledge the bad behavior of her Campaign Manager Ed Rollins, and by extension her behavior, is the one actually engaging in Candidate Worship by acting in a totally biased manner with no objectivity at all.

This is normal for the first real debate, (The actual first one does not count) because the candidates focus on getting name recognition and establishing a position among the Public.

The attacks on the front runner, will come in the next several events as is what usually happens. They all did what most first debate candidates do, attack the President and his failed policies first.

I wasn’t arguing with you. I seriously wanted your opinion! Perhaps, there is more of a competition between the two?

The media sound deeply disappointed that fist fights aren't breaking out between republican candidates.

Depends on what state you live in. Where I live, he’s TOAST among Conservatives and among friends in other states.

There’s a huge difference between a state choosing some kind of universal healthcare and the federal government mandating that the states adopt a universal program.

No there's not. Both are government bodies telling consumers what to buy and controlling choices. NO government body should push ANY healthcare nor should they control it.

Both Palin and Bachmann are great.

I am a huge Sarah fan, but geez - will her “Sarah or nothing” crew quit the garbage already!

Its getting like 5 y/o children around here not getting their favorite toy and meltig down in the aisle at the toy store.

Bachmann did a great job and she is far better than Mitt, Santorum, T-Paw.

Our goal is to beat Obama - period.

If Bachmann can do it - great. If Sarah can do it - great!

Whoever gets the nod needs to be pushed over the finish line to beat Obama. We need all hands on deck, and the petty sniping and infighting is getting beyond ludicrous.

Considering their silence while it was it was being implemented, I believe you have a good point. Saying you are against it now is sure a win for a candidate - thinking Americans were asleep during the process. Those dumb Americans - all we have to do is say we are against it but not, actually, be against it ‘cause they won’t know the difference.

Actions speak louder than words - should be the theme of the conservative party. That alone will eliminate a lot with a show me where was your action.

No there is not.

One is just a smaller government; both with the power to force you at the point of a gun to do what they want.

There is no difference, it is still socialism; It is still evil!

Rollins made a comment that Palin was just not serious about being a candidate.

Since we still do not see her name on the roster, that appears to be an accurate statement. Other than that correct observation, nothing else malicious has been said.

Calling a spade a spade will be the norm during this campaign. Get used to it.

“Because she’s in bed with Romney.

A.) As a thwart against Palin (i.e. She’s now the voice of the Tea Party, so no reason for Palin to run).

B.) She wants the VP slot. (Was this a promise from the RINO/Rove/Romney faction to thwart Palin?)

If anyone doesn’t see that they are blind.”

Are you a 911 truther too? Bachmann is the loudest voice and has the strongest proven voice against ObamaCare. Romney is still clinging to the mandate and his own failed govt. run healthcare plan. Those two can not and will not be running mates.

The fact that you think Romney will be the nominee means you buy into the media’s meme. Romney couldn’t defeat that old fart McCain - pre-ObamaCare! He’s done. at this point he’s just being propped up by the media. He has 0 support among conservatives/base.

Bachmann understands this and there is no need for her to take him down...yet. That’s Pawlenty’s job.

As far as Palin. If I were to buy into conspiracies, I’d more likely side with Palin and Bachmann working together to divide and conquer the media. Think of cycling race. Palin and Bachmann trade places drafting one another until one emerges as the one to take over the finish line.

Governor Obama of Illinois would have signed the same bill.

I've seen stranger combinations: like Reagan/Bush.

OK, I just thought your sentence funny. Like it or not, the GOP nomination is always won with a combination of Conservative, Republican, Independent and disgrunted Democrat votes. Don’t like it? Take it up with those open primary states. Personally I’m against them but most states have them and that’s a reality we have to deal with.
