Palin needs to either get in or get out then shut her mouth. The party needs to stay united to win the battle. Ronald Reagan felt strongly about this principle. Don’t act like your a Reagan believer then break his rules.

Why does she need to get or get out? Is this not America, where we have freedom and freedom of speech? Are there not millions of her supporters and millions more who might want incite from her? Oh, wait, you advocate that those who don't do as you wish to shut their mouth. Then you go on to state that the party needs to stay united? Hypocrite.

What really galls me is you, then, go on to bring Ronald Reagan into it. Reagan himself spoke out BEFORE announcing. He was a commentator on more than 600 radio stations. Guess what? Gov. Palin, like Gov. Reagan is a COMMENTATOR also. And, Reagan didn't announce until November 13th of '79. Remind us again, what month is this?

And, don't even lecture her (or anyone) about breaking Reagan's rules. Do you not even know his history as Governor? The scandal that his approving the abortion bill caused? Reagan broke his own rules, several times. Did you not watch or listen to the debates and stump speeches and editorials he penned? Anyone, put under a microscope, is flawed to some degree. It's not the mistakes or even appearance of mistakes that defines a true leader, it's the "footprints" that they leave behind. Reagan's have never been filled, but, I believe Gov. Palin might be able to grow into them, 'cause she certainly has the "feet" to do it with.

Gov. Palin was honest, temperate, principled and brave in her comments. Exactly the qualities I wish for in my POTUS. And, so that you know, unless and until she does announce a run, I'm in the Gov. Perry camp.

“Why does she need to get or get out? Is this not America, where we have freedom and freedom of speech?”

She has all the freedom in the world.

However, the next President of the United States, the one we elect in November 2012, is already in the ring, doing the hard work of showing whether he or she can lead us.

We had many qualified candidates on stage last night. Palin agrees with that. One of them will be our candidate.

Wow so much thought. She does have the freedom but with that comes responsibility. Totally irresponsible to throw darts when she herself has taken donations. That is clearly hypocritical. She could have handled the conversation much better.

And do you think maybe Reagan saw the harm in that and he created the 11th Commandment. Please don’t disrespect the Reagan legacy, Palin is no Reagan, no matter what month it is.

I was thinking maybe we could just all go for Romney. The RINOs love him, big money will be there for him, Wall Street, plenty of endorsements too, and he or Perry can beat Obama that’s for sure. If the mission is really to boot Obama then Romney will get the moderates, the Independents, RINOs, and certainly those of us conservatives who are still committed to this singular mission and only this mission. TO BOOT OBAMA.

And since there is a vocal cubicle of support in the conservative wing of Republicans who are the Palin-bots and Paul-bots, and have an entirely different mission, ie., To Boot All Our Other Contenders, then we may as well pile on the Romney wagon with the moderates and the disenchanted democrats and go with Romney, because their guy doesn’t have a prayer, and the Palin followers are still dropping like flies in winter while she is weighted down immovable and stratispheric negatives, so she doesn’t have a prayer either, and won’t come near a campaign announcement.

What da ya all think? We can admit that Perry has erred, is far from perfect, that his Texas jobs commitment was really only those four aces, he is an evil big government guy, he hates female adolescents and that his regrets are insincere hackery. Romney is smooth, competent, a great debater, has good hair and can get the same votes Perry can get. I was just thinking how brutal I am that I want to boot Obama at ALL costs and we can throw everybody over board, eat our own and drop the divisiveness and just finish off Perry and go with Romney. Cool?
