I don’t trust PPP but I still like what they are saying there. Wouldn’t it be lovely? I don’t care if Castle is the better bet in the general or if O’Donnell is the better bet in the general. O’Donnell is the conservative and that’s what the country needs. Palin’s endorsements are giant killers.

If Hillary beats Obama many blacks will not be happy.


If Obama’s numbers are still in the tank, he could step aside with the promise that Hillary would appoint him to SCOTUS. He is enjoying the perks of the job but doesn’t seem to care about doing the job. He might be happy to achieve Marxism by sitting on the Court.

I think if Palin is headed to the nomination he’ll think he can take her. ; )

Murkowski tried running on the positive “bring home the bacon” banner, and that didn’t work. So, she warns Castle. The Castle people respond by going nuclear negative on O’Donnell. When that doesn’t work, MAYBE they will learn that the way to defuse a challenge from the right is to actually MOVE TO THE RIGHT.

But not the stupid idiots that commented at the linked article. Shocking really. Now wonder the UK got itself in such a lamentable fix. The ones that commented think obama and the democrats are the bee’s knees!

These articles are almost boilerplate. They start out saying how popular she is, how her events are selling out, her book is a best seller, and her endorsements are winning. The conclusion - She can’t win because she’s a conservative Republican. She is really an uninformed idiot and a hick.

The articles say, we’ve told you the truth, now here’s what we want you to think. People have matured beyond this junior high school level of journalism.

I am sick of all of these “columns” and “articles”.

I am trying to focus on election 2012, just like Sarah Palin.

“I think she is great. She is the only person I am excited about just now,”

If given the chance a President Palin may well turn out to be the American version of the “Iron Lady” (Britian’s Thatcher), I believe.

Only far better in many respects... :-)

Palin ‘12!

(Anticipating some objections) she does not have the same stellar IQ that Thatcher or Reagan did, but she knows where the bread is really buttered and where it’s just cheap imitation oleomargarine. Just about every single one of the things that Thatcher and Reagan did right in office did not require a high degree of cleverness to carry out, just common sense and a resolute will.

Smart in her sense doesn’t mean being able to puzzle dauntingly complex situations out nearly as much as it means having a true moral north star and not losing sight of it or losing the will to follow it. I’m trying to say that being a whiz kid isn’t as important as being a wise person. When wise, you can transcend the hurdles of having to puzzle a lot of stuff out on your own.

You can’t judge a book by its cover. Sarah’s IQ might exceed Obama’s by double digits. In 6th grade (ancient history) a teacher tried to motivate me by showing me where I stood in IQ scores compared to others in my class. The kids who got the best grades seemed to be in the 115-120 range. Those in the 140-150 range were not the best students, didn’t demonstrate their intelligence verbally in class and I hadn’t guessed were the smartest. Based on Sarah being a lifelong journal keeper and with her record of achievement and success at many different endeavors, I would guess she would score high on those tests.

Exactly what were/are the IQs of Reagan, Thatcher and Palin?

Reagan was a great president but he didnt come across as a highly intelligent detail man. Being president or any type of executive leader does require above average intelligence but excellent judgment, excellent common sense (to defuse the BS that lackeys and infiltrators use to undermine you), integrity, and great communication skills. IOW, Sarah is a natural.

Leave the details to some us superintelligent freepers who depsite our intelligence cant get our family members to vote conservative.

Blacks will not want to vote for Hillary after a hard fought primary, but I suspect she would eventually get Barry to endorse her and say you can not vote for Sarah etc.

But we will have to remind all that Hillary shares the very same beliefs that Obama does. They both support infanticide for starters, both are NON Christians, both will appoint the same type of NON Christian Supreme court Judges.

There is little difference between Obama and Hillary, both are slutty whores

“News rater, anti-Palin group get govt Gulf work”

“Defenders of Wildlife and its political arm, the Defenders Action Fund, have criticized Palin, a former Alaska governor, for supporting use of low-flying airplanes to hunt wolves and other wildlife in winter.”
