The evidence indicates that you’ve been deceived by the childish propaganda of the media and the GOP elite.

Palin is not lacking in the areas of your stated concern, in comparison to any existing or potential candidate, or toward the demands of the office.

Her public personna is not her; just ask her Alaskan adversaries that were fitted for pink jumpsuits.

Hey, I’m just speculating (and hoping) like you are. But I’m more encouraged, by far, this week.

I have absolutely no intention of trying to convince you of anything. That is not what people do here. People log on and express opinions. Discuss the news of the day. In rare instances, they actually cite facts (as I did in my last post to you), but virtually nobody comes here hoping to be persuaded to vote for someone.

I was just conversing with you. You laid out a descripption of what you wanted in a president. I replied with a name that fit your description to a "Tea." How this got your fuscia G-string in a twist, I'll never know. Daz not my yob, meng.

Keep on Freepin' on, I always say.

IMO Cain is the like-Trump-not-a-pol flavor of the month who won’t sustain his popularity into the caucuses.

I wouldn't bet the farm on this. I saw Cain speak at the GA GOP state convention 2 weeks ago. He owned the crowd when he was done. His booth was swarming with people, the other candidates, including Newt, may as well not shown up. Every where you went at the GA convention, it was all "Cain this, Cain that".

Cain is solidly connecting to the activists base inside the GOP party. These are the people that make the party work, not the "hate everyone in politics" Paulbot fringe hanging around here

So I want a candidate who will not just reflect my views. Not just win. I want a candidate who will change the debate. Make individuals sovereign and government serfs and servants.

Herman Cain.

He’s the man of the hour, but GA is also his home state. We can disagree and see soon enough who is right.

(I’d take Cain over Mitt or TPaw or Huntsman or Rudy, etc., myself.)

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children’s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.

I was trying to attack Obama not you so forgive me for that.

I'm simply sick and tired of the trash occupying OUR White House, heck I'd take a ham sandwich over Zero.

I'm in the heart of the beast in Illinois and met this man, he is an egomaniac like no other.

So sorry if you took that as an insult towards you it was directed towards Zero.

The evidence indicates that you’ve been deceived by the childish propaganda of the media and the GOP elite.

What evidence would that be? You know how much media time I consume? Other than FR and maybe five hours a week of Fox News and CSPAN (combined), next to none. No TV, no radio, no newspapers, NONE. So, how might the media have influenced me?

Meanwhile, I told you that my disenchantment with Sarah Palin is due to what I have heard and read FROM HER. Do you think I am lying? I've read enough of "her" book to know when a person has read the books by the people they quote and when they go to a page of quotes on the Internet to pepper their MEDIA with supposed indication of their education.

Palin is not lacking in the areas of your stated concern, in comparison to any existing or potential candidate, or toward the demands of the office.

Equine feces. Palin has supported both carbon caps and LOST. Defend that. Her first veto was to kill a bill that would have precluded healthcare benefits to gays and lesbians pursuant to a court order that was in direct violation of the separation of powers principle. Explain that. Palin multiplied Wasilla's debt to build a health club and "community center" when a private auditorium and 24-Hour Fitness could have done the job. Defend that. Wasilla's city budget increased 55% during her administration. Defend that. Her last budget had a $1.36 billion deficit. Explain that. Palin's oil tax scheme is so byzantine that it chased drillers out of Alaska and back to Texas. Defend that. Sure it's popular to pay people for being State residents, but why should one industry bear such a disproportionate burden for supplying State revenue?

Further, it looks to me like spending increased during her administration rather significantly on the strength of high oil prices, and she quit just as revenues began to fall as oil prices fell.

Fiscal Year Expenditures (billions) GDP (billions)
2005 $10.0 [13] $39.3 [13]
2006 $10.8 [13] $43.1 [13]
2007 $11.6 [13] $44.5 [13]
2008 $12.5 [13] $46.0 [13]
2009 $13.4* [13] $47.5* [13]

But besides all that, the main reason Palin has earned my disrespect is for her glowy generalizations that mean NOTHING when it comes to substantive policy decisions. Every softball interview I've seen on Hannity has left me waiting for substance. Instead, every time I hear that screechy happy talk, I just cringe. I couldn't care less what anybody else thinks.

As to those whose experience, thoughtfulness, communications skills and PROVEN RECORD of both commitment to limited government and the skill and courage to enact spending cuts, I prefer Pence, Johnson, and Santorum, none of whom are supported by "GOP elites." Herman Cain sounds good, but I'm not ready to vote for a former board member of the Federal Reserve without hearing a lot more specifics.

Her public personna is not her; just ask her Alaskan adversaries that were fitted for pink jumpsuits.

That's "persona," and I agree. I think she's either a stealth RINO (why else would McCain pick her?) or she's sufficiently malleable that the RINOs think they can sway her. After all, the media LOVE Sarah Palin, or else they wouldn't have given her a second of air time. They know that to a politician, face time is life itself. They know that they can simultaneously poison independents, galvaniza leftist hatred, AND get you starry-eyed teenagers on white horses charging to the rescue simply by bashing her. She's gained a great deal from all the media she's received and She knows it. How else could she have afforded that $1.7 million house she just bought in Arizona?

You just don't get it. Ah well, love is blind.

Here you blather, knowing that I've written two books accusing both the left and GOP moderates of resource racketeering via regulatory law. You've read my posts approvingly for years. You know that I helped lead the charge against Arnold and exposed his backers for the corrupt thugs they are and you accuse me of falling for MSM and GOP elites?

Really?

Are you just aching to earn a spot on my bozo list?

Don't assume just because you aren't seeing things happening with a Palin campaign that preparation isn't going on. The foundation is being built.

Good analogy! The foundation is the MOST important part.
