Would you support Sarah Palin should she decide to run for the presidency in 2016?
Let's see. How does she compare to my litmus checks:
What's not to like?
Oh, yeah. That thing about not reading newspapers and also seeing Russia from her house. That's just too dumb to be true. /s
Well, but she did resign from her office, so I guess that's one thing not to like. But they all have at least one thing not to like. How does she compare on all the major conservative issues?
And the left absolutely hates her.
And Tokyo Rove and the GOP-e absolutely despises her.
But tea party conservatives like her. A lot!
And so do I.
How about you?
Are you ready to turn this country around with an honest to God pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, God-loving, America-loving patriot and grassroots conservative favorite who we can all be proud of and for whom we will work overtime for a change?
Sadly, no. She has become too polarizing and I believe would not generate enough votes to win.
A leader knows how to bring people together. Sarah Palin divides. Not entirely her fault.
Jim, I wish the fundraising was going better. I cannot help think how so many people have been run off. Banned. Sorry to beat the same drum...I have a fondness for FR.....but am disenchanted with how some really terrific conservative activist from PA were thrown off because they had standards very much like Ms. Palin. Often disliked but always principled.
I miss the old FR where heated debate was entertaining and welcomed.
Or maybe you just have pissy mods. :)
I was and continue to be disappointed that she didn’t run in ‘12!
If Sarah is the GOP candidate then yes, I’ll vote for her. But it just ain’t gonna happen. The GOP will field yet another milquetoast candidate. This one will also be squishy on social conservative issues and will also lose once again, to the “shock” of the GOPe.
The GOP has no viable future. It’s time that conservatives get out of this abusive relationship.
I certainly would.
Oh my gosh, have we learned nothing?
She’s going to use up whatever conservative juice is to be had, and then waste it.
She may fiddle with a run, but it’ll only be a Kardashian-type move to make money for her family.
God’s will be done. Pray for America.
Well stated.
Your lack of faith in the GOP... is something I share.
Were through some miracle Palin got the nomination, I’d expect Rove and his GOP-E minions would be doing everything in their power to trash her and undercut her behind the scenes. She’s too much a danger to that whole corrupt wing and their gravy-train.
A major reason why I’d think she’d have a better chance going third-party.
She has been in my prayers since 2008. We NEED her voice (and she has done more to voice the Conservative position with 140 characters on Twitter than any theorizing of GOP think tank.). She Tweets and the media goes apoplectic. That, and she lives rent free in Dear Leader’s head.
Would I support her?
YOU BETCHA!!!
The GOPe will make sure she has no chance of winning the primary. The MSM will try to make sure she has no chance as a third party candidate.
Yes.
in a heart beat! YES
YES!
What sane American women far enough along in her pregnancy to go into labor would even dream of a day trip to Mexico? The hypothetical is nonsense on its face.
Alternatively, for decades many pregnant women from around the world have come to the U.S. to give birth on U.S. soil before returning to their homelands just so their child(ren) could have U.S citizenship. Apparently having her son born on U.S. soil wasn’t important to Mama Cruz.
Not everyone is eligible to be POTUS.
Just got pinged to this...
The answer is Hell Yeah!
Insults are not an argument.
That's the most awesomely sensible "first post" we've ever seen here. :-)
