I understand most Palin supporters have already handed her the '12 nomination, but a primary can be unpredictable and bruising. My question is, what will you do if for some reason Sarah does not win the '12 pub nomination? Stay home, vote 3rd party or support the nominee (if it is one of todays potential but established candidates)?
This is a "what if" question. If you don't have the capacity to contemplate a Palin primary loss then please find another thread on which to slobber and slander (although I seriously doubt this request will be honored).
“I don’t have a preferred candidate as of today. As far as I can tell, no one has announced they’re running yet.”
Which makes this thread irrelevant since Palin hasn’t announced yet.
We all know the real reason you won’t tell us your choice.
A. It’s a RINO
B. It’s whatever GOP candidate wins
You’re not fooling anybody with your stupid hypothetical. Just like most Palin haters, you hate her and her supporters for what they represent.
We are taking this Party back or we will fight like hell and take the GOP down with us.
F the GOP.
I’m a conservative.
You should expect it from anyone who reads your initial post.
I won't repeat my first thought.
This thread is getting stale and I’m not sure how many are still following it.
One of the recurring questions from ardent palin supporters to those with questions is “Who would you vote for or support”? I’ve never treated this question seriously, besides it being a trap question (no matter whom you pick you will get mercilessly pounded by the Palinsistas) it’s still very early in the game and it would not be unusual for someone to not have chosen a preferred candidate yet. I have not, the none of the established candidates, including Palin, fill me with great confidence as of yet.
howver, I have given it much thought and come to a conclusion about whom, if they announced today, I could get behind comfortably.
Dick Cheney. Maybe a Dick and Liz team as well.
Bob, you never answered #260. What did you do when Reagan didn’t win the 1976 nomination?
Bob? You there? Bob?
Oh, there you are. 324 please.
“One of the recurring questions from ardent Palin supporters to those with questions is “Who would you vote for or support”? I’ve never treated this question seriously, besides it being a trap question (no matter whom you pick you will get mercilessly pounded by the Palinsistas)”
You ask a trap question so you can pounce and then you state you won’t uncloth your candidate because it’s a trap question.
You are a joke. But you’re also the mouse and cat’s like to play.
Okay Palinistas, you have badgered and badgered me and now you have my answer.
So now you can proceed to tell me how Palin has more, experience, knowledge, insight, good instincts, composure under fire, interview presence, and most of all, CONSERVATIVE CREDENTIALS, than Dick Cheney.
I don’t remember, I was young and still quite ignorant politically.
Regarding your 323, you do realize that once the nomination is secured, there is no longer a Republican alternative behind whom you can throw your support, right? I wasn’t able to say, well, Hunter didn’t get the nomination in 2008, so I guess I’ll support Thompson. There was no Thompson or anyone else, except in the context of third party (who were without exception in 2008 all morons including Paul). My choice in 1976 was to support Ford against Carter, and then campaign for Reagan in 1980. Losing in 1976 didn’t stop Reagan in 1980.
You posted your last in a response to 323 when I answered the question in 315.
Reading comprehension is your friend.
Dick Cheney is head and shoulder above everyone else I can think of except perhaps Duncan Hunter, with whom he ties as far as ideology. As far as experience and visibility, Cheney is way ahead.
That said, Cheney isn’t running. If he does, he has my vote.
Absent Cheney in the race, so far I see my vote going to Palin over anyone else who is on the horizon. But it’s still early. If someone with better credentials comes along, I will look closely at that candidate first.
By the time Michigan comes around, many candidates have already washed out so my pickings are slimmer.
So what you’re saying is you’re preferred candidate didn’t win the nom in ‘76 but instead of capitulating you stuck with it and your candidate DID win in 1980?
I can't answer for Bob but I 'spect he got really POed at the no good &%*^$*() RINO that cost Reagan that nomination and swore that he would never vote for that worthless goober as long as he lived.
Of course the no good BOS that cost Reagan the nomination was a feller named..........WHAT?
Dick Cheney?
Yup. Dick Cheney
OFF WITH CHENEYS HEAD!
“Dick Cheney is head and shoulder above everyone else I can think of except perhaps Duncan Hunter, with whom he ties as far as ideology. As far as experience and visibility, Cheney is way ahead.

Please learn more about Dick Cheney. He’s an open border/amnesty guy...hardly like Hunter. He’s a free traitor...any lopsided NAFTA/CAFTA/CHINA is his baby..nothing like Hunter. Cheney’s domestic policy advisor was Cesar Conda, who now works for Soros. Conda, along with Grover Norquist and Steve Moore destroyed prop 187 in California. Many of Bush’s bad policies were Cheney’s influence. There’s more there than meets the eye.
Vote for the GOP candidate if he/she is a Conservative. If not, vote third party or stay home.
If keeping the Dems in the majority is what it takes to wake up the GOP and/or We the People, so be it.
Guiliani is running for Hillary’s old senate seat in 2010 - hopefully that gets him in a good seat for Repubs in a liberal state and out of the 012 election as a RINO...John McCain can be SLAIN if we send in money to help CONSERVATIVE JD Hayworth run against him in 2010 to take him out of the political realm - its time for McCain to retire! A loss will open his eyes to reality...(hopefully)
Then we have to hope our best candidate does their groundwork, gets in places like NH, IOWA, SC, etc to make sure they are not outvoted by small states in the primary! Work, and a great candidate take 1) Prayer, 2) effort, 3) organized planning and 4) MONEY
TLBSHOW, I wondered what had happened to you!
Not quite.
Reagan desperately needed effective conservative administrators and policy makers. Most of his appointees came frome the West or Midwest. Cheney had the choice of becoming a garbage collector in Butte or a Congressman
He chose poorly.
