Rick who? never heard of him. who is mitch daniels, is he related to Jack Daniels? come now who are all these no names like Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Rick santorum. All these guys have one thing in common - no backbone. It can be said that they lack an essential characteristic they are balless wonders.

In America we need a President that has the backbone, and the fortitude to say stuff it to the UN and make some serious decisions that will correct the mistakes of many of the spineless jellyfish thatinhabit the Cesspool in DC. Clean the House and senate, and the federal Judicial system of useless pieces of liberal garbage.

Oh, yeah. Marxists pretending to be “neocons” didn’t put Palin where she is today, either. They are also fools, and powerless against her.

I was recently talking with an anti-Palin conservative GOP insider, who says he likes her but she is “unelectible.”

When I asked him who the most prominant Pubbie has been since the ‘08 election he replied, “Sarah Palin.”

My response was, “So, how’d that work out in the ‘10 election for you? Not bad for the party of someone unelectable, huh?”

Left him scratching his chin.

Don’t step on Superman’s cape, don’t spit into the well and don’t mess around with Sarah.

Don’t step on Superman’s cape, don’t spit into the well wind and don’t mess around with Sarah.

With fond memories of Jim Croce... :)

[jennings2004]

Great statement!

[jennings2004]

One additional thought: The State Department needs to be Cloroxed....

Damn straight.

If it was not for Sarah in 2010, the GOP would be the minority again in BOTH houses.

If the GOP disses her in 2012, that will be the last national election for the GOP.

She is the only one with the balls to take on Obama, and she will do so, relentlessly, and that is why the Left is so scared of her.

She is the antidote for Obamaism—and the Left knows it.

“Rick, Rick, Rick ... Whatever gave you the idea that you could become President? Sorry, not going to happen.”

Isn't the next logical step after losing a bid for reelection as senator of Pennsylvania? I fully expect Snarlin’ Arlen to challenge Obama in 2012.

Here is what most people do not get. Palin is now Galvanized from all of these attacks. Meaning she can take what most politicians would crumble from. They are out of background attacks, if there was anything they would have found it by now. Sarah can handle her own. Now we just get to have the pleasure of watching her pummel, with a velvet hammer, anyone in her way.

[Politicalmom]

Except that’s not what she said, but who cares what the woman ACTUALLY said, right?

[bill1952]

LOL I didnt even notice that mistake - too busy noticing spit I guess

[Caipirabob]

All the attacks from the left have had one major results for Palin's opponents. If we can get access to them, they are in for a verbal hell-raising. Santorum; you are over. Go home, you are nothing to me and any opportunity to belittle you will become my highest priority.

I will not stand for any Palin bashing from republicans, that is, unless they enjoy being retired early.

[Graybeard58]

Well, I was surprised to learn that it was “tug”.

My excuse is that I’m old.

(It works on most anything)

[Caipirabob]

I’ll have to follow up on this. Many FReepers on the thread said this wasn’t what it appeared to be. So my words for Santorum are on hold until I can confirm what actually happened. They still stand for any GOP Palin basher and worse for any leftie.

I used to hear CCR sing:

“There’s a bath room on the right”

Not:

“There’s a bad moon on the rise”

[GeronL]

I think you are on the right track there.

Rick wasn't particularly hostile to Palin. That said, Rick did voice the following criticism of Palin.

“I have a feeling that she has some demands on her time, and a lot of them have financial benefit attached to them.”
