Um.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m as big a fan of Gov Palin as most, but 2012 is gonna be a real dust-up IMHO.

The first hurdle, will be the primaries. Already Mitt and Jeb are lining up and starting their moves.

Winning in 2012 will be in large part possible, if a significant proportion of women can be persuaded to vote Republican in the general, and Palin in the primary. Many last time around, seemed to default toward Romney.

I mean there’s no denying Gov Palin is photogenic, but does it really help to focus on her legs, or on her boots?

Not that I mind. Just not sure it really helps? :)

Whoa, Luke! Take it easy there. Do not expect to find logic and consistency in communist policy. The only thing that matters in what communists say and do is what advances their quest for and holding on to power.

During the Viet Nam War era the left created the anti-American mantra “destroy the village to save it”. This was in response to the US Army policy of relocating people from villages in areas controlled by the Viet Cong to government controlled areas. Once the village was emptied it was burned. The objective was to deny the Viet Cong a population into which it could melt after attacking US and/or Vietnamese soldiers. The tactic was intended to protect otherwise neutral or anti-communist Vietnamese from the Viet Cong while, at the same time, creating free fire zones. Free fire zones were areas devoid of friendlies. So anything human observed moving about in them was automatically deemed an enemy and subject to immediate lethal engagement. An additional benefit was to minimize civilian non-combatant casulaties from US and Vietnamese Army fire power.

In any case, the communists have no compunction against destroying human beings to save them. That’s what their propensity for summary execution, the political gulags and insane asylums are all about.

Good for Sara. (Screw the MSM. They'll never report anything good about a Conservative anyway.)

Hopefully, Sara will lead the movement. If she remains strong and sticks to her Conservative ideals, America will be screaming for her. The silent majority has been run over too many times by their own party. The time is ripe for a real "change" - for the better this time.

Hooray for Sarah! Too bad the 5 bloodthirsty ghouls at the Supreme “Court” will strike it down in a heartbeat, though.

Glad I read the article this time instead of the title. The title is misleading and makes it sounds like she’s supporting an abortion initiative. But, it’s an anti-abortion initiative.

ditto

Why are RINOs who support abortion on demand called “moderates”?

It’s because of the number of votes we can never reach. Our base is shrinking,

No. The Conservative base is growing in huge numbers. It's the "Republican voters" that are shrinking. Republicans today are no different than democrats. A true Conservative has an entire nations support (minus the 30% of far left wing zealots).

Doesn't anyone know how to write newspaper titles anymore? Or was it intensionally misleading?

She'll do fine if she sticks to Conservative principles without letting the MSM lead her around. It'll be a rough ride, but I believe she could pull it off my sticking to her Conservative guns against all odds. People will be in aw of her if she offers THEM a voice in politics.

I believe the American people want the politicians to stop robbing them for social programs (they can barley pay their own bills) and choosing their thoughts and beliefs for them. In a free country, this shouldn't be too much to ask!
