Governor Palin said that a brokered convention would not be a negative for the Republican party.

[Norm Lenhart]

God NO! that might result in politicians doing the will of the people rather than themselves. Perish the thought that we abandon a failed Republican party that stand for Democrat policies and ideals, is polluted top to bottom with moderates/liberals and can’t even impeach Holder.

No, we MUST march of cliff after cliff because the big bad Obama Might win again.

Good luck with that.

[Drew68]

Let’s be honest here. The convention is going to nominate one of the 4 candidates running even if it is brokered.

You're correct and that's a damn shame. The GOP ought to nominate somebody who might actually beat Obama. In an election year where "anybody can beat Obama" it seems the GOP found the only four guys who can't.

All indications say this guy should be shopping for a house right about now and writing the speeches that will bring him big bucks on the post-presidential lecture circuit. Instead, he's leading in the polls and nobody even bothers to show up at the Republican primaries. It's pretty damn discouraging.

She was awesome.

She was giving us clues to stay with Newt. If you go back in her speech, you can count the number of times, she referred to him. I loved the part where she slashed out to Ann Coulter about throwing the bath water out-did you guys catch that.. and how the politicians after arriving in Washington, have more money and live in large homes in Virginia/DC area forgetting the people back home..

[winoneforthegipper]

Yeah she teared up my eyes for sure....missed her influence.

[JediJones]

What's she wearing there? Looks familiar...

Start looking into the Ron Paul sites and forums then, they have an active plan going to get their people installed as stealth delegates who will switch their votes from Rick, Newt or Mitt to Paul when they get the chance.

I have to add, after seeing her today and the powerful voice in which she has and being a true person, it makes me angry to this day, that the GOP used her and would not defend her while all of those negative attacks were coming her way. There is not reason in the world, that this woman should not had been the nominee. The Bushes, the ruling class made certain, she would not be. They don't want Newt, just like her. They are determined to nominate Romney. I truly believe that Newt is the stronger of the candidates to go head to head with Obama’s radical agenda. I quess it depends on if the public wants to go safe (with Romney candidate) or really truly want drastic changes (with Newt). I guess we will have to see what happens. I want bold reform. I still hope Sarah helps Newt. I would love to see big changes in Washington.

GO SARAH GO! She will be the one from the brokered convention that will go forth and beat the Obomination.

[max americana]

100% agree.....NO 3RD PARTY!!

I would rather start the 2nd Civil War than go thru that waste of time.

[Christie at the beach]

In her speech, there were several lines that none of our candidates have expressed as she did about going after Obama. My hubby and I were both so moved. If she doesn’t want to be the nominee, I hope she helps Newt because we are going to need one mean bad determined person (as she referred) to take on the left.

[elpadre]

I have read the platforms and/or positions found on their web sites of every candidate, several times. I am not a Romney supporter but to claim Romney is another Obama is grossly unfair. What he seeks to do as president is not similar to Obama by any stretch of the imagination.

I don’t want to keep repeating myself, but I differentiate between a third party of the Ross Perot type and a new second party.

It doesn’t happen very often—usually less than once a century—but from time to time a party dies, and a new party takes its place. The GOP replaced the Whig Party not long before the Civil War. The Whig Party had grown totally corrupt and useless, and was kicked into the trash.

Well, it sure looks as if the Republican Party has chosen to take that same route. They would rather die than change. They’ve had a good run, more than 150 years, and they seem to be determined to commit suicide.

This isn’t something that can be pushed ahead of its time. But I suspect that the time may have finally arrived. We shall see.

Bold changes are the only way to turn this mess areound.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If Barack Obama gets reelected we are going to Hell. If we are foolish enough to elect Mitt Romney we Deserve to go to Hell.

I, too, hope Sarah helps Newt. Praying for those big changes with ya.

[mountainbunny]

Thank you. I agree with Mrs. Palin entirely. It would not be a bad thing.

I would go so far as to say it would be a good thing, as long as the result isn't Romney or any of the other candidates, if they can't make it to the convention and win under their own power.

[conservativejoy]

Bold changes are the only way to turn this mess around.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If Barack Obama gets reelected we are going to Hell. If we are foolish enough to elect Mitt Romney we Deserve to go to Hell.

I, too, hope Sarah helps Newt. Praying for those big changes with ya.

[Tribune7]

I heart Sarah

[conservativejoy]

Sorry for posting twice. We are having power problems and I couldn’t tell if the first post went through.

Provided Jeb Bush remains miles away, the GOP Convention could be meaningful.

AND Chris Cristie!!! He’s a Blue Dog Dem on some issues, IMO, just like Romney and Santorum.
