Palin: Could I Support Somebody Like Mitt Romney? Yeah
DES MOINES, Iowa 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said Friday that she still hasnt decided if shes going to run for president. Palin is also undecided about whom she would endorse if she ultimately decided against entering the race. Swarmed by media and supporters at the Iowa State Fair, the former governor of Alaska told The Daily Caller that shes not concerned that Mitt Romney is considered the frontrunner at this time. No, nothing worries me at this point, Palin told TheDC. Could I support somebody like Mitt Romney? Yeah. When TheDC pointed out that some tea partiers have pledged to make sure Romney doesnt get the nomination, Palin said, Im of the mind of ABO Anybody But Obama, at this time.
The only answer. Besides ABO, if she said no, and she ran and won, that would come back to haunt her: “You wouldn’t support Romney, so why should his supporters back you?”. You just don’t say you won’t support the nominee no matter who it is. I can say it, but I’m not contemplating a run.
She’s answering honestly. I pray to Dear God in Heaven that Romney does not get the nomination, but... Anyone but Obama is pretty much where I will HAVE to come down.
I hate it. It goes against almost everything I believe, but at this stage of the game, I simply cannot take my vote and sit it out.
The country, hell the entire WORLD, cannot afford four more years of Obama. Whether it’s incompetence or malign intent or a combination of the two, the man is simply deadly poison.
Rick Perry is not a conservative. Nobody who thinks charging the same tuition for an illegal as an American is “punishment” is a conservative. Nobody who thinks guardasil is a good idea, especially when paid off by Merck, is a conservative.
I’m holding my nose to be able to say this, I would vote for Hillary Clintonista before Obamination.
LOL!
Something tells me this is going to be another “hold your nose and vote then rush home to take a shower” election.
I hope we can gain in the House and take over the Senate and keep the RINOS in line.
If I was her I would have winked and said “I don’t think he’s going to be the nominee”.
I'll do everything that I can to make sure I'm not put into that position and so will Palin.
Typical drapes crap. The major take away from this is no third party.
WHO would you vote for...Obama or Mitts....what the hell is she supposed to say???????
4 years of a RINO might as well be 4 more years of Obama.
Romney is not going to lift a finger to undo ObamaCare, I doubt many of the others will either.
Folks, for the second time: THIS STORY HAD AN UPDATE AT THE END OF IT:
“UPDATE: In a subsequent phone call to The Daily Caller on Friday, Palin said her remarks to TheDC should not be interpreted as support for Romney in the race. Palin reiterated that shes for ABO Anybody But Obama.
A representative of SarahPAC also told TheDC that Palin has complained to Fox, whose site Fox Nation aggregated this article, for what she calls a misleading headline for this story.”
Good grief, are some of you folks already falling into the media’s trap? I would expect more from FREEPERS!
We’d see a slew of “See I knew she was a stalking horse for Mitt” posts. LOL
Questions About Romneys Sons and Military Service
By MICHAEL LUO
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa It is a question that Mitt Romney has gotten before on the campaign trail. Sometimes it is asked innocently; sometimes with a clear edge.
A woman at an Ask Mitt Anything forum earlier today in Iowa raised the question again, asking whether any of Mr. Romneys five sons are serving in the military, adding pointedly, If none of them are, how do they plan to support this war on terrorism by enlisting in our U.S. military?
Although his campaign said his remarks were taken out of context, Mr. Romneys response is drawing criticism, because he said, in part, one of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping to get me elected.
Yeah, I'd vote for Romney over Obama but then I'd vote for a turd in a suit over Obama if I could tell them apart.
