Well stated!
Thank you, CP. I try.
I wish DeMint, Pence, Barbour, Bachmann or one of those people would start making 2012 noises. We can’t be positive Palin is going to run (I hope she does), but the only one really making the big signals at this point is that horrid RINO Romney.
You’re sure posting some great stuff on this thread! What a pleasure!
Excellent point worth repeating.
Thank you for the kind words, Finny.
I’ve simply got to tell it like it is, when it comes to Sarah Palin. Although she’s not infallible, and is a human being like the rest of us, she actually gives a damn about this country and the American people.
She may err once in a while, and take a tumble like anyone else, but she never takes her eye off the mountain she’s heading toward. She’s been aiming at the same thing her whole life, and that is to do whatever she can to help this greatest of all nations to realize the promise of its founding and its incredible potential.
I’m almost a bit embarrassed to wax so poetic about her, but I’m convinced that we have been gifted with someone of the same caliber as those brave people who laid the foundations of our country. I believe that she’s far more than simply unique, courageous, and talented. I believe that she’s historic.
GoodHair Myth, MythRom, the Brooks/Frum/Bush fav.
LOLZ, ‘NO FR VOTES for Mitt RomneyCARE or Ron Paul or Huckabee .... 0 votes (none, zed, nada, doughnut, oh-no)’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’thanks Diog, I needed a Monday morning laugh!
“They need to have the Constitution in one hand, ...”
I like that image: a POTUS that carries a copy of the Constitution with them at all times, and whips it out anytime anybody asks a question and says, “Gee, let me just check the rulebook here.”
In the general election, McCain the RINO was still the better choice when compared to Obama. Heck, there was always the chance he’d have to resign due to health reasons and leave it to Palin.
We need to make sure the primary election in 2012 gives us a candidate we can vote for without holding our noses, but we learned our lesson about third parties with Perot, and even RINOs are better than Dims.
In 2008 primaries, all the conservative candidates had dropped out before they reached CA. The timing of the Primaries in each state fed us RINOs.
“He ended up saying it was a state plan but he would oppose it at the federal level”
To be frank thats good enough for me, as thats all i ask. I don’t care if the people of Massachusetts want to enslave each-other and create a collectivist hell hole, in fact i think they rather deserve it given all they have done to the rest of us.
All I ask is that they keep it out of the common government.
Let us demonstrate over time what a failed idea collectivist health-care is.
I wonder if Romney would get one of those outdoorsy jackets and never take it off like Kerry...”can I get me a huntin license?” lol
If either gets the nod, they will come in third to a third party candidate.
“Romney needs to understand that the support he got in the end was because he was the only thing standing in the way of McCain.”
You nailed it.
Now Romney’s helping McCain against a real conservative, Hayworth in AZ primary.
Did Wallace ask about the McCain/Hayworth primary? Did he ask about safe borders?
We need to end cross-over votes in the primary. The RINOs had entirely too much fun in 08. Take Powell for example. First he wanted McCain to win. Then he endorsed Obama.
If crossover votes ruin our primary in 2012, it could mean third party madness, split votes, a president Obama, a leftist supreme court, universal voter with busloads of foreigners on Super Tuesday, and new voting computers with the 0 logo manned by ACORN workers.

I agree that Palin is a likely contender.
Some don’t think she’s smart enough. Some don’t like her ‘libertarian’ streak.
But a Bible-thumping conservative won’t make it. A boring white guy won’t make it. A military guy won’t make it.
She’s it, if she wants it.
I’d vote for her for three reasons:
1) She is honest
2) She fights hard and has a very firm backbone
3) She believes in building an excellent team...then letting them do their jobs.
He's kidding, right?
Mitt would barely make a blip and that would be with only a few of the Damn Yankees running around...
I think that should give her naysayers here some pause. She did what she had to do, little else.
Trolls abound....
