Would you support Sarah Palin should she decide to run for the presidency in 2016?
Let's see. How does she compare to my litmus checks:
What's not to like?
Oh, yeah. That thing about not reading newspapers and also seeing Russia from her house. That's just too dumb to be true. /s
Well, but she did resign from her office, so I guess that's one thing not to like. But they all have at least one thing not to like. How does she compare on all the major conservative issues?
And the left absolutely hates her.
And Tokyo Rove and the GOP-e absolutely despises her.
But tea party conservatives like her. A lot!
And so do I.
How about you?
Are you ready to turn this country around with an honest to God pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, God-loving, America-loving patriot and grassroots conservative favorite who we can all be proud of and for whom we will work overtime for a change?
Yes
Ted Cruz, in time though, may be my first choice
I understand that, and I’ve made that point myself. The MSM didn’t cover for her in 2008 because they adopted Obama as their guy. 2016 against Palin will be a different story.
Who the freak cares what they use! Why are you so consumed with ‘them’. I can only wonder why!
Excellent point

Anything less that worship around Palin invites the wrath of God being called down. That’s not a formula for victory. The very tag of PDS used against Conservatives is shameful.
She is by far the best person for the job out there. Nobody else even comes close.
I for one would love to see her run in 2016.
And Rove and all those here that love him and hate Sarah can go to He**.
Without hesitation.
Until she runs, I’m on the sofa. Yes is the answer, and I would be “all in.”
She wouldn't be my first choice (or second or third or fourth), but if she would be able to win the nomination, of course I would vote for her against any Democrat.
A couple of years as governor of Alaska before resigning, a couple of months as the VP nominee on a losing ticket--that's not much of a résumé. Right now I don't think she would be our best choice to defeat the Democrats. Maybe she should try to run for statewide office again--Senate race in Alaska next year?--and improve her credentials first.
“Hillary will be hard to beat ...”
I’d start with the Rose Law Firm Billing records with the White House Travel Office scandal next.
It would be a target rich environment.
Then explain why the wrath of god didn’t hit the original poster, just the guy with the traditional PDA mantra? Better yer, why don’t we both drop it and let people vote yea or nay.
Definitely.
I remember a post here in FR from when McCain picked her, the poster said, “Vote for her, hell I want to marry her.”
Exactly.
Not my first rodeo - but I am a slow study. Dropping it.
Yes!
In a heartbeat, 150% !
She quit on us when we needed her most the 2012 presidential election. I wouldn’t mind seeing her as the 2016 nominee, but she wouldn’t be my first choice.
Because we have lost to "them" in three of the last four elections. Badly.
I can only wonder why!
So? Find something better to do.
