Charen out pimping for the RINO-Romney crowd, eh?

Looks like the "Stop Sarah" campaign is still in full swing!

He’s physically in the state of Washington. No other meaning intended.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’d definitely vote for her. BUt the maina rgument is going to be, if she couldn’t handle it while governor, she can’t handle it as President. And the stupid masses will believe it.

Pence and Thune - Indiana and SoDak - great men, waste of time. Presidential elections are like product marketing, unfortunately. Obama’s inaugural party will be bigger than the 2008 one.

Don’t you get it? If you don’t support Palin around here, you support Mitt Romney, John McCain and Lisa Murkowski. It doesn’t matter if you want Thune or Pence - because deep down inside, you secretly want Romney to win. /s

It’s the same tired old stuff, this time from Charen.

I know that she wrote an article, I think in 2008, praising Romney.

"The Republican nominee should be someone with a vast and impressive record in government and the private sector."

Right, Mona! Like who?

All the folks in Government are lawyers and part of the problem.

People in the private sector who have impressive records usually have too much sense to run.

You folks in the chattering class, liberal AND conservative, have made politics a beauty contest. Who cares is a candidate is not photogenic or cannot debate well.

Does the candidate have wisdom and integrity?

Can they choose experienced, knowledgeable advisers & staff?

Do they UNDERSTAND and revere the US Constitution?

Do they know that they are accountable to the American people and to God?

I agree. All political decision-making should be organized around what the stupid masses will like best. Let’s just make Zero Dictator for Life. That will please quite a few stupid people, until La Raza (the new majority-minority) takes him out and puts in Hugo Chavez Parte Dos.

Anything but a conservative, right?

JMHO...

.... but I think it would be BEST for America, the Republic and Democracy — if the lame-stream media, dems, RINOs and certain “patriots” would just shut up and allow the long-established presidential primary process to unfold, and take it's natural course - with the best candidates emerging from the herd.

Mona is entitled to her opinion. It’s wrong. But she is entitled to it.

Sarah isn’t going to get the nomination.

Too many people think just like you and me.

WE WANT A WINNER!

Palin might win against Obama; I would certainly vote for her given that choice. But I don’t want “mights” rather I want Obama out and while that motivation may well be a dominate feeling amongst the electorate come 2012, it does not mean they will vote for a candidate that many dislike as much or more than they do Obama. These voters may stay home and Obama continues to destroy the country. I agree with Charen, Palin can do much more as a spokesman, exemplar and public opinion leader than she can do as a candidate that might damn well lose. The country cannot afford that.

And Sarah will beat Obama just like Angle beat Reid. It isn’t gonna happen.

I agree. I also like Sarah Palin, but with the amount of vilification and bad press that's she's received, although unfair, it is the way it is, a good many voters are turned off to her.

The role she's playing now suits her fine.

I want a conservative to win. What are the odds that the RNC will nominate a real conservative. By the way, please tell me we don’t have to deal with that McLaim again.

Mona Charen, serious crush on Romney:

In National Review she wrote a column titled:

“A Second Look at Romney”

Just a sample of the quotes:

“But no one running is more impressive than Mitt Romney....

But then Romney has been masterful in everything he has attempted...

It is difficult to find any significant weakness in Romney. He is refreshingly articulate, exceedingly well prepared and self-disciplined, clearly an excellent manager with both private and government experience, happily married with a large, supportive family, and well within the mainstream of conservatism on every major issue. His nomination would not divide the base....

He is just the sort of candidate people complain that they never get.”

http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/223108/second-look-romney/mona-charen

Had enough? Reading her column on Romney made me want to spit up. It was worse than being groped by the TSA.

Diogenesis, quick...the Gold tooth

Keep it up, Mona. Your readership diminishes with each koolaid-laced eruption.
