The only problem is, he's said multiple times that he isn't interested in running for president.

I'm thinking I'll take him at his word, particularly as he's said it multiple times.

And pissy, good luck with that Bolton candidacy, I'm thinking he'll be the first candidate ever to underpoll Duncan Hunter.

May I be the first to say, you are one hellaciously dumb puppy........

Of course he says he doesn’t want to run. Immediately followed by the admonition that anyone who “wants” the job, doesn’t know what they are getting into. Not to mention his ‘oh by the way, I’d be very qualified for the job’.

Only in your jaded secret decoder ring world of 1%ism would that mean he wants to run.

What must it be like to be so dumb?

I didn’t say he WILL run, you little retard. I said he’s contemplating it. And it ain’t just me who says it. Some of his staffers have said it too.

I can only strive to reach your level of utter stupidity - the kind that thinks letting illegals register, stay and work and attain citizenship is not amnesty. You palintards have a funny theology.

Only in your petty little mind could saying he's not interested mean he actually is interested.

I think you've even said Palin saying she might run means she won't run.

Insofar as confused thinking (?), I'd say you have 99.9% of the FR board beat all to Hell binky.

Hey, isn't that how many people haven't heard of any of your candidates?

She could be quite valuable campaigning for others this time around.

I think the question is who she would campaign for in the Presidential race. None of the oft-mentioned "front runners" are worth... um, anything. Newt? Mitt? Huck? McCain? Rudy?

There are some good conservatives out there, but Sarah and many others would have to get behind one to get them any serious consideration. And he or she would have to come from obscurity in a relatively short time.

Uh huh. I guess in November “Right now, I have no plans to run for President” is definitive in your mind, huh MENSA? Especially, followed in the same story by this:

Advisers to DeMint have noted that the South Carolina presidential primary has always been critical in determining the party’s eventual nominee and that he would at least consider the possibility of running. “DeMint’s popularity is the highest level it’s going to be at,” said GOP South Carolina political consultant Luke Byars who served as DeMint’s state director from 2005 to 2009 and remains an adviser. “All the options are on the table.”

He's said it stronger than that multiple times.

Maybe you could get your object or worship Hunter to again run too.........you know it's always possible for such a great candidate to emerge from the ashes.

Hunter/Bolton. Or Hunter/DeMint. Pissy's true wet dreams.

I marvel at your stupidity.

Yeah, what do his advisers know anyway. Regardless, there will a couple people running who are conservatives, so you can look forward to telling us how wonderfully conservative TARP, amnesty, LOST, Title IX, carbon caps, McPalin’s $300B mortgage bailout, and “federalist” views on abortion are.

Oh, you mean like Huckabee(supported by one Duncan Hunter)?

Bolton seems to be saying he's running, I'm sure that'll burn up the voting booths.

And that Ron Paul....wowsers.......

And how bout that Mitch Daniels? Or John Thune? Or Herman Cain? Or Tim Pawlenty?

No one has ever heard of your candidates or takes them seriously. If any of them crack 5% in an actual primary vote it will be a miracle.

Hey, you could write in Hunter again.......

That'll help defeat Bambi for sure......perhaps you could use a little psychiatric help.......

I noticed you left off your first stars-in-your-eyes hearthrob from Massachusetts. You are a rank embarrassment.

I would think Demint and Sarah could and should have much to do with who is the nominee is or is not. I can live with whoever the conservatives decide on this time around. Due to the Tea Party influence it will be a conservative that walks the walk.

Your mental disturbance would be troubling if it weren't so hysterically funny.

It's so much fun watching your brain as it melts in front of all of us.

Do you ever tire of being such an idiot/savant?

Palin and DeMint are both at the top of my short list of who I want to see declare their intentions to campaign for POTUS. The qualifications I’m seeking, in order of importance to me, are:

1. Strong, consistent fiscal, national defense, and social conservative
2. Some combination of executive and private sector experience
3. Demonstrated ability to lead in the Right (conservative) direction
4. Not now, nor has ever been an attorney or lobbyist
5. Working-class roots
6. Non-Ivy League education

DeMint and Palin are the only possibilities I see on the horizon who can make it past the first two criteria. As far as I know, they’re also the only ones who can make it through all 6 of my criteria. Other potentials I like are: Marco Rubio, Mike Pence, Chris Christie, LTC Allen West and perhaps one or two others that don’t come immediately to mind. I wish another couple of these guys had executive or private sector experience. With the state of our economy, it’s imperative to me that our next leader be someone who has been responsible for a budget, or managed personnel, created jobs, signed paychecks, etc. It’s both astonishing and terrifying how very scarce those attributes are in any branch of the federal government.

SO you didn’t breathlessly promote the flip flopper from MA?

"He, like all the others, has made some idiotic endorsements. But policy-wise, no one mentioned to date matches his conservatism."

At the two pronouns highlighted in bold font could not she and her, (meaning Sarah Palin), be reasonably substituted?

I don’t think so. If it was she (meaning Palin), she would be lumped in with a gaggle of others who have some conservative positions and some liberal positions.

The question was not about this election....Demint’s group gave twice the money and I think organized a bit more than Sarah did who was more visible doing face time..which can help too in some places...but hurt in others...Delaware fro example.

I also think Palin is indeed possibly the next Reagan...she sure looks more like it than anyone I’ve seen since in her ability to speak and motivate and inspire.

It’s too different things.

Not everyone is going to share your precise view of Sarah Palin.

I also think Palin has by default lead the rally to redefine the GOP...a long overdo need.

I have been reading Bush’s bio lately from Christmas and get more and more informed about how idealistic and sorta PC he was on social issues...in ways I hope Palin and others can purge.
