Sarah Palin stops short of supporting Chris Christie as presidential candidate

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she thinks it's good that Gov. Chris Christie won another term in mostly Democratic New Jersey.

But the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate stops short of embracing Christie as a potential GOP presidential candidate in 2016, saying "I would never put my faith and hope in any one politician."

When you stand in the middle of the road you get hit by both sides.

LOL. Wonder who she was talking about.

Hey, Krispy Kreme is severely conservative! :0)

I wish I could get my audio to work.

" Everyone will step in line again in 2016. That has been the cycle for years."

Not I. I did a fair amount of praying over whether to vote for Romney, with his pro-queer, pro-abortion views. Despite the fact that God was leading me to sit it out, after Benghazi I caved and voted for him. The next day, literally, a distance began between God and myself that I am still working on repairing.

Fatso will never get my support, whether he runs against Hillary or the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler.

That’s a really good picture....very, very pretty

Woot! Go Sarah!

Sarah is WAY to smart to fall into that LSM trap.

There is no conservative elected who is not a Republican.

If Krispy gets the nomination, that's going to have to change. That will have marked almost 30 years of RINOs getting the nomination, and it's quite clear the senior Republican leadership in Congress is more interested in "compromising" with their friends across the aisle and in the White House than representing Conservatives.

A lot of us have let the GOP screw us over election after election, and we've reached a point where we will go elsewhere rather than continue to support a party that is ever moving left.

The writing is on the wall. The liberals running the GOP are doing everything they can to accelerate Big Government whether it's floating amnesty, or not putting up much of a fight against Obamacare when they took over the House.

Methinks the only way to keep them from compromising with what’s across the aisle is to make what’s across the aisle as scanty as possible.

God made Sarah Palin need glasses in order to keep her from ruling the entire world.

I don't like Crispy, that was not my point, nor was my point that the GOP is inherently conservative any more.

However, if you can find ONE conservative who is in an elected office that is not a Republican, kindly send along his or her name........

Well, it is after all Christie's turn. /sarc

The photo tells me where Sarah's heart is.

I'm sure there are plenty under third parties, although it depends on your view of Conservatives and how far you take it or where you draw the line.

The problem is getting Conservatives into office. When we get RINOs elected, they do everything they can to stay in office, with the help of lobbyists and the GOP.

And when we have candidates like Dole/Bush/McCain/Romney, if they win, they don't shrink the government, they grow it (as Bush so aptly demonstrated). They get their people into the federal administration, and they cooperate with the Democrats and RINOs in Congress, and we get screwed.

It's even worse now, with a Democrat-led Senate, and a RINO-led House. If we get a Christie into the WH, there will be no difference between him and Obama. He loves Obama, he's from NJ, he loves him some Big Government.

When the GOP took the House, there was a lot of talk of forcing Obama to toe the line, or even reversing what he's done. We all fell for it. The House has no intention of slowing Obama and the Democrats in the Senate down.

All I can say is that if you vote for RINOs, you're an enabler, and you deserve the government you get.

Or get people who don't compromise, or as I like to put it: People who stick to the values they were supposedly elected on.

[HiTech RedNeck]

All bear a part of this load, of course. But making the opposition scanty is one way to help.

There are virtually no third party elected officials, except for the Senators from Vermont and Connecticut, who could hardly be called conservative. ZERO third party conservatives. Why is that a problem for you? Do you have a difficult time with reality?

Have I said I like the RINOfication of the GOP, or the status of conservatives within the GOP? Have I intimated I want Crispy as president?

No. But somehow you don't understand that. I stand by my statement, there are NO conservatives who are elected officials who aren't Republicans. ZERO. Go ahead, provbe me wrong, I'll be waiting.....a very long, looooong time.......
