Yet another Bircher, Ron Paul thread, what do you know.

It’s nice to see all those who have decided to throw in their lot with 0bama, Axelrod, Rahm, Plouffe, Carville, the DNC, the DSCC, and the DCCC, all of who are attacking Palin on a regular basis. Now we know your true colors.

One of these days, he'll poll over 1%. I just know it.

Someone never had a dream, just a delusional mental presence......

Palin won’t even run. She has seen her polls on President (cant even get Republicans to support her) and now she was outed as a McCain RINO. She is smarter than her cult-members.

Now that Hayworth has thrown his hat into the ring, and McQueeg has stated his intent to discredit him, let's hope Sarah reconsiders.

If not, she may well be a footnote.

RP will never poll even 2%. And his worshipers will prostrate themselves before his awesome proclamations of 9/11 being America's fault.

His "worshiper" on this thread better get used to it. But then, he is a loser too isn't he? Don't you wonder what his altar looks like?

If she quit to take on a more important task then what she did was a good thing.

There is no sign of that. She quit because things got too hot.

You won’t get her to run by whining about Ron Paul. She would have to interview again and they wouldnt ask her about Ron Paul (no one but you cares about him.) They will ask her about McCain.

The anti conservative Bob J's near opus

Bob J has raised interesting and valid points.

Unfortunately, SOME (but not all) Palin supporters--not necessarily any of y'all--are sticking their fingers in their ears, closing their eyes, and yelling "nyah! nyah! not true!," figuratively speaking.

When one gives aid and comfort to the enemy, usually one is thus considered a traitor, or at least, one's loyalty to principles and to the cause is generally questioned.

Remember, blind loyalty in the face of facts makes one naught but a mere follower, rather than a leader or at least a competent manager, two qualities that are becoming of a "good" President and "chief executive officer" of the United States.

Now, if she is seeking ultimately to run for further public office, then she is either blindly loyal to McCain, actually agrees with him, and/or is just being a shrewd and cunning politician. As a holder of conservatarian beliefs, I believe that none of the three cases work out to her advantage; our elected officials should not be merely power-hungry and ambitious people but humble servants and citizens who step up to serve their fellow Americans because it is the right thing to do.

However, if she is not seeking ultimately to run for further public office but rather seeking to promote the conservative cause, supporting a man who has willfully dealt immense and horrific damage to the conservative cause in his twenty odd years spent here in the Federal district is nonsensical, to say the least.

Watching the tortured and hypocritical defenses that SOME Palin supporters--not necessarily any of y'all--put up is somewhat comical but just plain sad, especially considering that SOME of them were so quick to rush to attack one Mark Sanford for going "hiking in the Appalachians" last year. (Nevermind the fact that infidelity in marriage, though disgusting, is not necessarily an indicator of "bad" future political performance; case in point was one Benjamin Franklin, who was a notorious womanizer abroad and yet managed to serve the United States capably and competently at the same time.) Hold her to the same standard as every other political celebrity (yes, if DeMint endorses Romney again, I will be among the first to publicly repudiate him).

Palin’s self-sabotage has nothing to do with Ron Paul (and for the record, nothing to do with Mitt Romney, either).

Quit pissing and telling me it’s raining, will ya?

Only because she resigned her office and threw her supporters under the bus.

Sure Bob, whatever you say.
