This isnt Russia for goodness sake.
Not to mention there is a life time before any candidate is chosen, and Palin may not even put her family through it.
MAKE NO MISTAKE, ANY ATTACK ON SARAH PALIN IS AN ATTACK ON US! THE LEFT IS TERRIFIED OF HER.
I am not normally at odds with you VR, but I will not be supporting Sarah Palin. I will be against her.
If she wins the Republican nomination, I will continue to be against her. I support Reagan Conservatives only, and she does not measure up.
I share your vehemence against RINOs, but that does not give you (Palinites) carta blanche ownership of the forum. There are many of us who believe that Palin is not Conservative enough.
And people may view Palin as unelectable because they have weighed the evidence so far and come to that conclusion.
And all I am doing is pointing out to you that others will speak for themselves when they have done so, and you can only speak for yourself.
So, pony up with the evidence you have weighed. I'm all ears.
and that's a disgusting, filthy thing to say.
The typical “conservative spoiler” voter, I see. Not just hoping that the FR early favorite develops, but already condemning over 3 years out. For all the good that does you might as well be a DU plant.
Name some people you would support.
(just a few points)
The baby daddy will be a Jerry Springer regular, with and without his mom.
Tina Fey will be the headline of SNL portraying her as a ditz with a trailer trash family and the replay will be on GMA every morning.
Every fake scandal created in the for previous years will come out as new and it will all start again.
Plus Im not even sure shes bright enough for the interviews. Unless she has studied up on current affairs she most likely will stumble during an interview, then the one with Katy Couric will be replayed over and over.
Bottom Line
Because of Acorn voter fraud we will need every single vote we can get to defeat OBama..and then only with a huge turnout, and then only if a third Libertarian lite party hasnt started up. Millions of Americans arent as informed as we are here and will see her as the media portrays her and will rethink thier vote.
Im betting Sarah herself is weighing this same scenario and deciding if its worth it to put her family through the grinder for the campaign and then the same thing for 4 years of office.
Its not fair..its not right..but it is what it is, the reality of the situation.
I voted for her in ‘08 (not McCain) and would support her again.
Honestly, if Sarah were to ask me, (not gunna happen) I would have to say to her, don't do it. Enjoy your life, take care of your family. However...the fact that the Left is so scared of her that they feel they need to destroy her, tells me something; they believe there is a good chance that she will run.
I am an Australian. Our State Broadcasting Service (SBS) denigrates Sarah Palin at every opportunity, just as they did and still denigrate GWB. That's got to be purely to influence the one hundred thousand or so American expats who live here.
We shall see. I look on the bright side. The Left may have exhausted their muckraking opportunities by the time the next campaign begins.
I will happily support any candidate who embraces the principles of all three pillars of Conservatism. That is what a "Conservative" candidate IS. Candidates who are not able to embrace all three pillars of Conservatism invariably cause infighting and factionalism, and should not be supported.
Palin is a moderate populist who leans conservative (a lot like Thompson), but is not a Conservative.
Oddly enough, it is those who follow the populists and pragmatists who do Conservatives harm, not those such as I, as you accuse.
There are none that I am aware of that are seeking election.
Until someone throws their hat in the ring, I will not do the hard work of substantiating their position on the record (votes, quotes). If I were to lend my support to anyone currently, it would be without benefit of that hard work, and basically of no value. I am very aware of Palin, however, by virtue of my research during the McCain/Palin campaign.
In the last election I supported Hunter in the primaries, with a nod to Tancredo and Keyes, and supported Keyes after Hunter stepped down. That should give you an idea where I stand.

Sarah learned a lot being the VP nominee. She is street smart and a lot more street smart after the campaign. This is why she is such a big threat. She kept McCain in the game and the Left knows she is a big time threat to Obama.
I have to agree that you are way out of line calling for a Palin or leave FR position.
You owe a lot of people, even Palin supporters, an apology.
Kiss off.
Although I can't find anything about her that I don't like I find your attitude to be quite anti-American.
ping for GREAT PHOTO...thanks
On this thread alone, one poster called Bristol Palin and her son brats. And there are plenty of similar ad hominem attacks on the Bennett thread (which I already posted) and on this thread.
As far as my active support for Palin goes, until someone shows me a candidate who is MORE Conservative than her and who can also command the same crowds she can, I'm with her 100%, unlike a lot of other supposedly Conservative folks on this Conservative forum.
I have nothing against Jindal and have no opinion about Sanford, but if you can suggest a better candidate than Palin, then please feel free to do so. RINOs are not welcome.
No apology will be forthcoming. I stand my ground.
Roamer, you're right in that we rarely disagree and you have my respect and FRiendship. However, can you please back up this statement and tell me why you think she's not Conservative? Her record as governor of Alaska suggests otherwise...how is her record NOT Conservative?
