Yeah...its the Financiers Fallback Position...their “political hedge” if you will. When the wheels fall off the ‘Bamabus, a few good RINO’s will step up to the plate and earn their campaign finance depositors investment.

For sure! You know people (us) need to look ahead into the future and imagine what questions will be asked when...

- the Bush Tax Cuts have been ended incurring huge taxation and destruction of the economy

- Cap and Trade Tax Increase scheme has been implemented incurring even more taxation and even further destruction of the economy

- the 0bama Care Single Payer Medical scheme has been enacted removing freedoms of a market type environment and ultimate depending upon rationing of health care

So, consider a point where the country asks this question -

"what were conservatives doing and saying when this egregiously dysfunctional jam down of out of control Governance was implementing these atomic weapons of the American Society?

Believe me - get on board now with HELL NO!!!

It will be somewhat like the person who was trying to prevent 911 before it happened.

Can we do without all the testicle references? Cojones, grow a set, steel balls, gelding, testicular fortitude, etc. It’s crude—and tiresome.

My suggestion to you, then, is DON’T READ THEM.

I think in the end it will be states pushing their tenth amendment rights that saves the day.

And these are not references TO genitalia.

They are references to the ABSENCE THEREOF within the GOP.

Not for me.

She is Amnesty/Open borders - time to move on and find someone who believes in this country.

Here’s her UNIVISION interview. She tried to Fred Thompson us with her...”not TOTAL amnesty”. But when the interviewer asked for clarification, she said: UNIVISION: To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants? PALIN I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. http://community.adn.com/node/133209

I believe this is true - unless someone went to a lot of trouble to make this up.

Yes, I'm disappointed, but time to move on :^(

A lie. She is for border security, and those living here have to get back in line after those who are following the rules. She does not think that deporting 20 million people is feasible. Agree with the latter position or not, she is NOT for open borders and NOT for instant citizenship (amnesty). Keep in mind that she was after all McCain’s running mate.

Do you have difficulty reading the very interview you are referring to? She is for border security and against amnesty. She however does not think that we can deport all those already here. In her words they have to get “back in line”.

While that position is not the one many desire, it is not the same as “open borders”, “instant citizenship”.

Reason No. 2 to call her not ready for prime time.

Please what? Because she was running with McCain she is disqualified? She should have declined the Veep spot and never entered the national stage. Oh please...

If the illegals are allowed to stay - that's Amnesty - a rose by any other name is still a rose.

And it didn't help she has a kid with a little problem.

On the plus side, I think she's great for Alaska .... leave her there.

Ah... now you bring out the "her familiy is out of control" meme. Ever heard of the "little" problems in the Reagan, Goldwater and Bush families? Are they "unworthy" for you too?

On the plus side, I think she's great for Alaska .... leave her there.

You aren't funny.

Reaching across the aisle causes you to lose elections? Tell that to Allen Keyes, Ken Blackwell and Rick Santorium. They are all in elective office after winning their last elections.

Oh wait. Someone just informed me these staunch never reach across the aisle conservatives lost their last elections.

Actually, they should do both. But, when they do say NO, it must not be a policy wonk NO< It must be explained in a communicative way unlike the Bushies and insiders and explain the differences in easy to understand libertarian words. That way, the nation sees the differences and there still are some. Freedom is not in the Dem’s playbook. So, let the words battle begin with the best communicators from the GOP and make them young, attractive and high flyers not stodgy old timers.
