38% - Strong-jawed Romney.
17% - Tough-talking Palin.
27% - A third choice, please.
18% - Give it up, GOP, Obama’s staying.
“Do you think he’s electable?”
At this point, I don’t know. He’d have to make an effort, and get out there and become a presence. I do like what I’ve heard so far, and would like to see/hear a lot more from him.
I’ve only had fifteen credits of psych—that hardly makes me an expert. However, this Palin stuff is pure emotion just the same. It’s obvious.
Mitt who?
I like Bolton a lot! But I am not sure he would win over Indys. I like Pence’s chances.
Like it or not, Palin has to win somewhere in the northeast and Far west Republican Party primaries, and I just don’t see it right now, especially if Huckleberry runs too.
About what? that Palin has no chance to win another election, that her supporters are fueled by emotion, or that her speeches are scripted?
I’ll give her credit for firing up some voters in the last election. That was very valuable work, and what she seems to be good at. And fund-raising. that, too.
those are not inconsiderable talents.
Chris Christie or Bobby Jendal. They got the brains and the foritude. All they need is a little more exposure.
Christie won me over when he cancelled the tunnel project. In a union/cosa nostra state like NJ, that was gutsy.
he can be anti-2A all he wants. that’ll never fly here in the South.
Bad fiscal policy is what presently threatens this country. Historically, it’s the Number One killer of nations.
Talk to me about the Constitution (and thank you for capitalizing the word—most people don’t know to do so) the next time you get gate raped at the airport. There goes your fourth amendment rights, and W initiated the program.
and don’t give me the “terrorists are under our beds” argument. If they were so omnipresent, they’d have popped a crowded mall by now.
Romney is the choice of the main stream media just like McCain was. After the Democratic convention they will drop him like a hot potato, just like McCain.
So by your logic, it is okay to infringe on 2A rights, because they are ignoring the Constitution in airports?!?!
It seems that an anti-social conservatism drives your emotionalism.
You call yourself a libertarian, is that an endorsement of their platform?
It’s a big world out here, and people disagree.
This is a privately owned and funded forum. The owner of Free Republic has made its purpose quite clear:

I posted the following statement to our front page in response to the criticism I'm receiving lately as to not being fair and balanced and perceived mistreatment of trolls and assorted malcontents. Got news for all, I'm NOT fair and balanced. I'm biased toward God, country, family, liberty and freedom and against liberalism, socialism, anarchism, wackoism, global balonyism and any other form of tyranny. Hope this helps.
Statement by the founder of Free Republic:
In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I'm trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule.
Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes on known terrorist states and organizations that are believed to present a clear threat to our freedom or national security. We support our military, our troops and our Commander-in-Chief and we oppose turning control of our government back over to the liberals and socialists who favor appeasement, weakness, and subserviency. We do not believe in surrendering to the terrorists as France, Germany, Russia and Spain have done and as Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton and the Democrats, et al, are proposing.
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.
Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.
We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.
Our God-given liberty and freedoms are not negotiable.
May God bless and protect our men and women in uniform fighting for our freedom and may God continue to bless America.
Jim Robinson
We can’t walk backwards and eliminate all the rules and laws passed since the Founding Days. it’s not going to happen.
and, yes, I own firearms, support the Second Amendment without question.
However, money rules the world, and until we regain control of our currency (I’m not a Paulite), everything else is in danger. A stable currency comes first. it’s just the way the world works.
libertarians are as driven by emotion as anyone else. And pot, let’s don’t forget the pot.
These issues are not mutually exclusive as you suggest. We can do all at once with a strong Conservative Congress.
Do you have any idea whatsoever how modern politics works?
Based on your profile page are you a racist and a misogynist? ("Black Messiah" and virulently, irrationally anti-palin; Just a question...)
Are you paid to repeat your anti-palin screed over and over and over even when asked other direct questions?
Why are you here, really? I'm curious. You're sign up date is much older than mine but who knows who you really are, after all... you just attack and hurt the conservative cause. We are FRiends here and not here to tear down the movement. You are doing the opposite. Why?
