1. I didn't have any great affection for Mitt Romney but he was light years better than Obama.
2. Sarah Palin is undoubtedly a nice person but she wasn't in the running, not even close. I'm fairly sure that I wouldn't be enthusiastic about her because she doesn't seem particularly well educated, she has that grating voice, has zero military experience, and she quit as Governor. I'd have voted for her if she was the candidate against Barack Obama but it would have been holding my nose while doing it. We can do a whole lot better than that.
Yes, this is freerepublic, a conservative political site, of course the leader of the conservative movement and the politician who gave us Senator Ted Cruz and our only senate seat pick up during the Romney disaster, is well known here, and popular, haven’t you heard of conservatism and the tea party, Romney was against all of it.
Palin was the most popular Governor in America, earned her reputation as a courageous reformer and fearless leader, and was perhaps the most popular governor in history, with consistent approval in the 80s, and even to 93%, since leaving office she has assisted in about 80 elections, becoming the most important and influential endorsement in American history.
Governor Palin is the daughter of, and the mother of, Army veterans, and commanded a state guard that is known for keeping at a high state of military readiness because of it’s strategic location.
The failed governor of Massachusetts left office with 34% approval after giving America gay marriage and Romney/Obamacare, and was forced to give up his announced plan to seek reelection after devastating the state’s GOP, and then turned the seat over to the democrats, he then made two failing runs for president, for what reason no one knows, but it all resulted in a 20 year history of running for office and having a single failed term to show for it.
Mitt Romney is a member of an anti-military, even anti-American family who immigrated to America in 1842 solely to serve their cult leader and who even left the nation in opposition to it, Mitt being born in the US because their adopted country became too violent for them, no war, no draft, no sense of patriotism, has ever managed to get a male in Romney’s direct line to serve America in uniform, they have avoided military service during their entire 170 year history, Mitt himself as a draft evader as his father ran to become commander in chief during war time, and his five sons of course, were all military age males as their father ran for commander in chief.
