POLL: SARAH PALIN HAS HIGHEST FAVORABILITY RATING AMONG GOP PRIMARY VOTERS
Breitbart ^ | Wednesday January 29, 2014

Posted on 01/29/2014 8:20:02 PM PST by Bigtigermike

Though former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was not included in a Public Policy Polling survey of potential 2016 Republican presidential contenders, she was still overwhelmingly the most liked person among Republican primary voters. According to Public Policy Polling:

The best liked person we tested on this poll with Republican primary voters is actually Sarah Palin who has a 70/20 favorability rating. She's followed by Huckabee at 64/18, Ryan at 58/18, Paul at 58/21, Bush at 56/18, Cruz at 45/20, and Christie at 40/38. Most of those numbers are similar to what they were a month ago but Christie's seen a substantial drop from +18 at 47/29 a month ago to his new +2 net favorability.

The left-leaning polling outfit asked Republican primary voters, "Given the choices of Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, and Scott Walker, who would you most like to see as the GOP candidate for President in 2016?"

Huckabee led among the group with 16% to 14% for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush; 13% for Chris Christie;

Using your logic, then you must must be an amnesty supporter because you support Walker!

Then FR must be McCain country, because she is a big McCain supporter!

Then that makes you a BIG Amnesty supporter.

Gee, if I have to study to find her accomplishments, they can't be that many.

On the other hand, it could be that you're too lazy to look.

...she likes doing reality shows and giving speeches.

I suspect you would, too.

Envy is one of the seven deadly sins...

Gee, that’s 3 posts without mentioning a single accomplishment

You converse like a child or a lib. I gave you three perfectly adult responses, and instead of handling it like any reasonable adult, you talk smack like a juvenile YouTube commenter.

Now you've made Onyx dig out her links to Palin's record, which is something you could have (and should have) done yourself with just a few mouse clicks.

Be gone, ignorant troll.

accomplishment

You don't think winning a governorship is an accomplishment? I'm sure you'd say the same about your daughter if she became governor of one of our 50 states.

Vice-presidential candidate of a major party...you don't consider that an accomplishment. Do you have any idea how many people in the history of this country have been vice-presidential candidates of major parties? About 240. That's it. In the 230 year history of America.

Her name will be in history books long after worms have finally penetrated our vaults and done us in.

I'm not real sure why you dislike this woman who stands for life and stands for her faith and stands for conservatism, but it's you're right. It's not your right, however, to have your own facts. All you've got is a weird opinion based on some personal animus.

Sarah Palin as governor of Alaska initiated the Alaska natural gas pipeline and saw it through to approval and its beginnings. Visionary at a time when the rest of the nation was waking up to natural gas, it's been getting worked on since and will span 1700 miles and be completed in 2018.

North Dakota and the remainder of the US could only wish they had a natural gas pipeline 5 years from completion.

Scott Walker has problems, but he’s been a good governor. But the problem for ftD’s argument is that Walker has been nothing more than a career politician moving from one government job to another...climaxing in a governorship.

His accomplishment....governor.

Palin’s crime with McCain is loyalty. She’s disagreed with him publically on a number of issues, but she has upheld her end of a pact that was made when he selected her to be his VP candidate...a deal that McCain’s other supporters have not upheld.

I have nothing against Scott Walker. I have donated to one of his campaigns. I would have no trouble voting for him were he the GOP nominee, but he won’t be my choice in the primaries.

You're right. Palin considers McCain a close friend and she shames him with her praise, which is rarely returned in kind.

She has proved time and time again that she is the bigger and better person and I love that about her.

What she has shown is her inability to grasp the fact that McCain is an evil man.

Loyalty to truth must supersede personal loyalty.

He’s not evil, but you have shown that you’re pig headed.

No I don't support amnesty, but if a conservative is going to win the nomination, we are going to have recognize that we are not going to agree on every issue.

As I said, amnesty can be stopped by conservatives in the House and Senate.

I want a President who is going to get this debt under control and I think Walker can do it.

He has done a good job AS governor in a liberal State, making the Unions back down.

So, he accomplished something AS governor.

So far the only accomplishments you have mentioned was her winning the governorship (which she resigned from after 2 years) and then running in one of the worst campaigns in GOP history.

Maybe I should add as an accomplishment the fact of keeping conservatives dreaming about her like love sick school boys.

All this running to her defense is simply nonsensical, she isn't running for President.
