ROFLOL...LEFTIST/STATIST DREAMS!!

Now that’s rich. I’ve been called lots of things, but never a statist.

You clearly don’t know what the word means, but FYI, you’re talking to a Von Mises/Hayek/Rothbard Austrian. Someone who has actually READ and understood books like Human Action, the Constitution of Liberty and Man, Economy and State.

More, I suspect, than I can say for you or Palin.

Hank

Comparing a Gallup poll to an ABC/Washington Post poll is NOT "six of one, half a dozen of the other", and I think you know that.

If you don't, then you're in way over your head in this discussion, or you're a liberal troll.

Well - Pawlenty and others will try but I think Palin and Romney are the top two. Someone like a Rick Perry could come out of nowhere though ... who knows.

> “More, I suspect, than I can say for you or Palin.”

.
You’re grossly mistaken on both counts, and were you of the Austrian persuasion, and read Palins numerous commentaries, you would be praising her, rather that acting out your psuedo-intellectual, psycho-masturbational false pedantics.

Paul Gigot and Ron Paul have praised her theises, but you being elevated from their lowly stature, adjudge her to naught.

Get over yourself!

I defy you to cite a single ORIGINAL idea in any of Palin’s “numerous commentaries.” As in, one not voiced elsewhere first.

Besides, which, Paul Harvey had even numerouser commentaries. I don’t think he could have gotten elected either.

She could be electable though.

She could be but I don't really like her odds. She represents my values but I don't think the majority of the country trusts her. I prefer a candidate that she tacitly endorses who has low negatives. Let the lamestream media chase after her shadow, as long as Obama loses. I don't want to risk another term from Obama and would vote for any Republican candidate to avoid that outcome.

I didn't respond, because I'm not interested in having an argument about it, but since you're insistent, I'll detail the process of troll-spotting.

What went on between you and LADY GOP is the same phony astroturf garbage that has been done by Mitt Romney supporters on this site for years.

Here's how it goes:

One of them (in this case, you) makes a rather innocuous, hand-wringing statement of 'concern'.

Then, the other replies, piling on with unrelated talking points intended to damage the perceived threat to Mitt Romney.

Not one to be outdone, the first (you) then comes along with a preposterous, idiotic, over-the-top statement.

The second troll LOVES this statement, so she repeats it for the benefit of drive-by readers and adds an Amen.

This BS would continue further, but a few people stepped in and reported the nonsense before it continued. Left unabated, such phony conversations have been known to go on for quite some time, sometimes involving many posters.

In short, one is judged by their behavior and the company they keep. If you don't like being accused of trolling, stop hanging out with trolls and stop acting like a troll and you won't have any problem.

So, there you go. I've 'reported back to Jim' as requested as well.

Pure nonsense - I provided you with a link directy to a website I post daily at where I am called a Sarahbot, a Sarah nut, a Palin fanatic, every damn day.

So sorry - your post is utter rubbish.

What people like yourself don’t get is that your cultish behavior is turning off even people who agree with you!

Right. Then you come here and play with the Romney trolls. A likely story.

Really? My 'cultish behavior'? What 'cultish behavior' would that be exactly?

Please show me even one post in my entire history that even remotely favors romney. Even one.

And cultish behavior - YES - some of you exhibit that. You read into peoples’ posts into meaning things that are not posted, make wild assumptions about the posters’ intentions, etc.

Again - some of the rabid Palin fans are their own worst enemies when discussing issues.

I provided you the link - check it out and report bac what you find. ‘

I hate romney, huck, etc. yet you still attack me.

Whatever.

Why would I want to look at that link? It doesn't offer any real evidence of anything. And cultish behavior - YES - some of you exhibit that.

Some of who? FReepers? Palin supporters? Conservatives?

Again - some of the rabid Palin fans are their own worst enemies when discussing issues.

Yet, you seem to be trying to claim you're one of them? Strange.

Whatever.

Hey, you're the one who wanted me to respond so badly.

With Murkowski opposing her, she would be blessed just to win AK in 2012, much less much of anything else. People won’t support, but I will vote for her if she is the nominee.

So let me get this straight. Palin is the "frontrunner" because Gallup and Rasmussen say that 80% of Republicans have a "favorable opinion" of Palin, even though those very same polling agencies both say that more than 80% of Republicans would prefer to vote for a different candidate?

You do know the difference between having a "favorable opinion" of a candidate and actually voting for that candidate, don't you? I myself have a favorable opinion of Palin, and would answer that way if I was a respondent to such a poll. However, I do not think Palin is qualified to be President, do not think she can beat Obama if she is nominated, and prefer other Republican candidates.

Judging by the polls, many, and perhaps a majority, of Republicans feel the same way I do.

Palin, Romney and Huckabee are in roughly a tie, to me the favorables among primary voters indicates Palin as the front runner, but if you want to maintain that it is too close to call and that Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee and Palin are the three 2012 frontrunners, that is perfectly fine, and accurate enough.
