What do you suppose another
will lead to?
Why speculate? Purpose?
I’ll be saying a lot of I-told-you-so. It goes like this:
If 0bama announces he’s running for reelection, no Democrat will dare to challenge him for the nomination. Therefore the Dem primaries will be foregone conclusions and nobody will have to vote in them. Then, all the Democrats will be free to switch parties for the purpose of voting in Republican primaries, hoping to secure the nomination of the weakest Republican in the herd. And that’s not Sarah Palin.
Dems will vote for “anybody but Palin” in Republican primaries. They fear her, with good reason.
We need to do something to avert this possibility, and do it now, not later.
But I will not vote for a RINO, and to be brutally honest, if the RNC tries to shove another big-time RINO down my throat, I will vote for Obama (in my 50 years, I have never voted for a single Dem). The message needs to be sent: Running a RINO means that the Democrat wins.
ill vote for anyone vs the communist lenist marxist fasisct kenyan named obama
Speaking only for myself, I’m not so much a Palin supporter. She’s simply fine by me, as are several other potential candidates.
That said, Pawlenty, Crist, Giuliani, Huckabee, and similar will not have my support unless one of them suddenly gets very old and/or very sick and decides to select an acceptable running mate (i.e. McCain+Palin situation redux). My support is not a welfare-entitlement of the GOP, and I resent insinuations to the contrary (not that I am certain this thread is meant to so provoke such defensiveness).
I'm going to stick around here and post all sorts of threads that will annoy the likes of you.
Personally I’m waiting to see who runs first and I’ll make my decision then.
However Romney, McQueeg and the rest of the bottom feeders may as well sit the next one out because they won’t get my vote.
Why do you ALWAYS hold a higher standard for ‘conservatives’ than the rest of the lazy people in this nation?
Personally, there is one big test yet for me to be in the Sarah for president column. That test is if she allows lord McCain or any other two timing candidate to hitch a ride in her chariot, I am not interested in her having a political future. I use the ‘two timing’ phrase to illustrate these politicians who court conservatives while sleeping with liberals.

First answer, first non answer.
I said “potential but established” candidates of today. Which of these would you support?
2012 is irrelevent at this point, Bob. Our focus should be on 2010.
Based on the way the primaries are handled with crossover voting in many states I conclude that you are wrong. Democrats will have a very big say in who we pick. Can you say Mitt Romney?
It the candidates is a RINO, I will write in Sarah Palin.
If the candidate is another good Conservative, I will vote for him/her.
Wrong!
Which primaries are open of the first bunch?
I just want Obama out of the White House. Kermit the Frog could run and I would vote for him. Obama in 11 months has put us on a path that I dont know if we can recover from. I don’t care who runs in 2012, but NO MORE RINOS. I won’t vote for Romney or Huckabee, but if someone else besides Sarah comes down the pike and is a true conservative, I will gladly campaign for him/her. Our #1 goal is to send Obama and his cronies packing
Period.
I've done it before and the results were disastrous.
I have found that a person's position on life defines every other issue. If they cannot be trusted to protect the most innocent of human life, then they cannot be trusted with any kind of power over any other human being.
Not the best person to lead to country, mind you. This is all about using the presidency as an award to shore-up fragile egos so that some group can feel good about themselves. "See", they'll say to themselves, "somebody just like me can run the whole country!" There's no humility. Just the thrill of being affirmed.
The same thing that was done to elect the last two presidents.
The self-esteem movement has surely succeeded.
A Third Party or anything to siphon off votes from the Republicans would be a disaster and, yes, Obama would get 4 more years. Our country cannot afford it in more ways than one.
I will vote for the GOP candidate. I’m not convinced that Palin could, would or should get the nomination.
