No surprise that you would have an animated gif of Comrade Zero readily available to be uploaded.

If you’re ever bored sometime, you can go back and look at the ‘arguments’ I get involved in regarding Palin. I’d reckon you’d find that 80% of the time, it begins with some cultist ankle biter taking shots against me (and usually me, as opposed to the argument).

I’m not complaining mind you. Never have. I welcome all opinions. The ankle biters, however, constantly complain. To me, to their posse, and usually to the mods as well. LOL.

So they like to start fights, but then go scurrying to the mods and whining when I fire back.

Just like the old Fredheads of yesteryear.

she’ll be gone by then. The Palin staffers will dissipate into the ether, just like Fred’s, Mitt’s and Rudy’s.

So why bother then? Most people recognize Palins past...repeating the same old stories accomplishes so little now as she has certainly moved ahead of it..and so have her critics...for the most part.

Look, when I came to FR I was undecided about Palin...especially as the economic situation came down. Over time she has certainly mastered my concerns about her, and further I recognize there is a certain degree of political posturing a candidate must do, which she has been doing..and not always favorable to those who support her.

Even so I still have reservations she will run...I'm not so sure she wants to pick up the Democratic mess she'll be facing and the economic woes yet ahead...even if she runs there won't be a quick fix for allot of what's happened. I want to see who she might be planning to run with her and who will be on her team if she gets there.

There are few others running who would have a chance to run against BO, if he even runs,...and if Hitlary runs then I think the whole equation will change.

The bottom line to all of this is that despite her ability to animate the crowds with all the rah-rah and the “you betchas”, Sarah Palin is woefully inexperienced to serve as President of the United States. This Nation is faced by enemies both inside and outside, we are still engaged in a war effort against terrorists, and we need someone with a bit more on their resume’ than ‘Mayor of Wasilla’ and ‘partial term as Governor’ of the least populated State.

What’s the least populated state? (This is a test. Good luck!)

freerepublic is sure not a homosexual agenda, friendly, web site, it is definitely, and firmly committed against it.

Some freepers are pro homosexual agenda, and most, if not all of those, are anti-Palin.

How Dramatically Did Women's Suffrage Change the Size and Scope of Government?

The female vote has been far more Republican than the Catholic vote.

Until 1964 the female vote was generally Republican, while the Catholic vote only went Republican once, (in 1956).

Since the 60s, the white female vote is more Republican than the white Catholic vote.

Why do I bother? Because we are facing one of the most crucial elections for president in our modern history. Not only to undo the damage caused by Obama, Clinton and the dems, but also the damage caused by Republicans. We are at a precipice. One false step by Obama’s replacement could seal the end of our free republic. I do not think Palin is up to the challenge for myriad reasons. Is she a go-getter? Yes. Is she generally conservative? Yes. Is she the wisest, most studied, conservative to the bone, constitutionally minded intellectual we can muster? No.

That is what we’ll need. Ronald Reagan was very wise, and by my reckoning based on his own writings and well developed philosophy, THE conservative intellectual of his time. He was also 69 years old, and seasoned beyond compare when elected in 1980. Churchill was 65 when he assumed Prime Minister, with a immensely distinguished career prior to 1940.

We will need that type of wisdom, that type of candidate. Is there one avaialble; not really that I can see. But we better pick the closest thing imaginable to it, or the decline will not be reversed.

That was an impressive description, yet you claim to believe that Michelle Bachmann fits all that, does she?

If you read carefully, you may note I don’t think anyone fits it. We just have to get as close as possible and pray for the best.

Really that post with your list was just another long version of “no Palin”, I really thought that you have been offering up Bachmann as a woman that you were supporting, you have called for her to run.

I support a small handful of conservatives to run, and my pecking order changes from time to time, but I don’t see anyone as well qualified and wise as Reagan.

I have no idea what that has to do with anything, Reagan no longer exists, he will never be the candidate again.

You missed the point of my post on Churchill and Reagan. It had nothing to do withe bringing them back from the dead. It had everything to do with setting the benchmark that we need to strive for, even with the knowledge that it will fall short.

"Next, we need teenagers to vote too! So say the socialists, anyhow."

Yes. I was a teen, when that policy began. IIRC, it was a very few years after the old flick, "Wild in the Streets" (about drugged-up lefties bringing us the teen vote and camps to enforce drug abuse in old folks).

Yes, you were comparing yourself to them. Explain again why you don’t believe women should have the right to vote.

You agree with pissant that women should not have the right to vote?
