It’s an opinion and I’m entitled to it, or don’t you three believe in free speech?

Instead of presenting a reasonable argument for your favorite POTUS candidate, you hurl insults at me without knowing a darn thing about me or who I am. You’re making a big mistake and if you can’t see it now, I can assure you it will be the actions of folks like you who WILL cost Palin the election even if she turns out to be the best candidate.

I’ll explain:

I’ve been active in politics for 40 years. I’m well known in IL for my activism in the Tea Party and in trying to get RINOs out of the IL GOP. I also hold a tiny bit of influence over the IA GOP committee, one that is crucial to any POTUS candidate.

FYI: I made over 100 phone calls to the McCain camp in 2008 to try to get Palin on the ticket because back then, I really liked her. By using insults instead of reason in your posts, you alienate people like me who if convinced, could make a big difference in a state which overwhelmingly favors Democrats, precisely because I am active and get out there to make a difference. I don’t just sit on my keester and post on forums all day.

This is the same mistake Ron Paul supporters made. Not that I like Paul for POTUS (I don’t) or that he might have stood a chance (I don’t think he did) - that’s not the point. If you look at why many people turned away from Paul as a candidate, you’ll find it was due to the actions and words of his SUPPORTERS, not the candidate himself. Because of their thoroughly obnoxious behavior, we now have a new word in our lexicon - Paultards. I assure you that if you continue bashing good conservatives with insults and foul language, a new word will be coined in 2012 - Palintards.

Don’t go there. Develop a good argument and be prepared to back it up with proof. Otherwise, you’ll wind up causing damage to Palin instead of helping her.

The election is still almost two years away. There are potentially many candidates out there who are not RINOs, who are not Romney or Huckabee. Nobody has officially announced yet, including Palin. I’m waiting to see who jumps in. It is still possible I may come around to viewing Palin as viable. Should that happen, I’ll throw my money and support behind her.

However, if I see the same type of crowd forming behind her as those who supported Ron Paul, with continual harrassment and insults and nasty pile-on flaming on forums like this one, I assure you I’ll do everything in my power to make sure she loses.

Your choice folks. You draw a lot more flies with honey than vinegar. My suggestion: Don’t become Palintards.
