Okay. I agree...but, didn't we try this with Perot? All that got us was the clintons.

How can we do this in a winning way? In a way that doesn't end up with an Obama second term? We would need to have candidates for all national offices.

I think people here are going to have to do something they do not want to do: run for office. It is the people who don't want to be politicians, that we really need in those offices. We need people in who think of serving time in public office as a duty to the country we love-—not a selfserving step to fame and fortune. We need people who are regular citizens, who know the true struggles of their neighbors; who have run businesses, who have run families; who have been at the kitchen table trying to balance their budget; instead of lawyers who have spent all their time figuring out how to use the public to finance their education and social lifestyle.

Sorry to disagree with you, but I don't see that person as Sarah Palin. I nominate Jim Robinson!

Perot had victory in the bag when he ducked out. Far too many people wouldn't support him afterwards because of it. I don't think Sarah Palin is a quitter. I get the impression that she's not the type to collapse and have a good cry because somebody picked on her. In fact, what should have been inconsequential news about her recent decision the other week, has thrown the left into terror, and the right into doubt. This is because she's uncommon. Nobody expects common things from somebody like her. When is the last time you saw a DETERMINED WOMAN quit at something!? I know three women a lot like this in my own family. Most of us men would much rather deal with aggressive males than females...there's just something about them... something dangerous.

I'd vote for ANY woman who simply manages the finances of her own family WELL, and I'd do it in a heartbeat! Politicians lie through their teeth and tell us that it's complicated to perform these functions nationally, and requires a master's degree to understand! But this isn't so! They've morphed our nation into something which has become unnecessarily complex! They've artificially created the perfect conditions to support the LIE that we actually NEED people like them. But this simply isn't true! The Constitution is NOT complicated. It doesn't require translation. At worst nowadays, you have to bear in mind the conditions at the time (which are well documented!) to have a correct perspective. Fortunately for us, we've got the illustrious public school system there making sure that our kids get a good solid education in Constitutional Fundamentals...eh!? (choke!...gag!...barf!...sarcasm OFF!) Actually, I get the impression that the government school system is concerned more that condom handouts go smoothly and that our daughters can get abortions on demand without us ever knowing anything about the murder of our grandchild.

But I can imagine our politicians truly FEAR the result of people moved to action to simply replace them with simpler folk...who will in turn simplify the entire system.
