NO, a 3rd party Paul run is the best thing that could happen to us, because a lot of his supporters are actually extreme leftist Dem “youth.” He’s big with the OWS people and they love all of his attitudes, including his pro-Palestinian stuff and his claim that the US was behind 9/11.
That would leave the sane people in the GOP to select their candidate, and would also take many of Bambi’s disenchanted Dem voters.
That said, what in the world is Palin thinking? I used to like her. I was never a fanatic, but I thought she was dynamic, smart and conservative - and now I’m beginning to wonder about the last two. She has sure come out with some odd statements lately.
There were plenty of conservatives who (1) are not fond of Wall Street and (2) who believed the Wall Street bailout was a bad idea.
Why should Wall Street get a massive federal bailout? How is that conservative? What does that say to people - not the OWS crowd, but to ordinary people who work for a living - that Goldman Sachs is “too big to fail,” but not the man who has lost his manufacturing job because of outsourcing?
