Mark Steyn: Sarah Palin a better king maker than GOP candidate
The Right Scoop ^ | May 13,2011

Posted on 05/13/2011 6:17:38 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Mark Steyn says he has a soft spot for Tim Pawlenty and believes he may be the last man standing to challenge Obama in 2012. He also says Newt won’t be President and that Trump isn’t conservative and trashes his demonization of China as the single source of all that ails us.

As for Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin, Steyn says he wouldn’t advise them to enter the field of 2012 GOP candidates. He says Sarah Palin would make a better king-maker and Huckabee should stick with his successful Fox News show.

Gee I must be psychic... my post at 180 pretty much addresses your childishness.

Really? Is that why YOU just put down Pawlenty on another thread I was just reading?

You just want to flame me, so go ahead, as you glaringly ignore all of the salient points I've posted to this thread. That's okay, you're the one who is looking ridiculous;not to mention giving the rest of us many a hearty laugh at your expense!

Not a bad line up except Bolton for Sec State. Ryan for VP. He’d be Pres of the Senate.

You are an ideologue. If you can't have Palin you shall have Obama!

It's as simple as that.

Okay.. I understand your frustration with this game.. but it seems that is the hand we are dealt... UNLESS we see Americans stand up and strongly push forward a new agenda and a new conservative ideal... It's not happening right now, unless Palin jumps in and then it may. If Palin is NOT the nominee, I will vote for ANYONE BUT OBAMA!!! I will not WASTE my opportunity to vote against this SOB. I am sorry you don't agree and have chosen to go scorched earth over your point of view.. but the fact is.. four more years of OBAMA and we all are completely SCREWED.

The simple fact is.........with Daniels, or Pawlenty, or any number of candidate, supposed candidates..........we're SOL and not any better off than we are with Obama. The other FACT is, beating Obama won't be a walk in the park and many the prospective GOP candidates couldn't beat him even if it was "easy".

Look up the meaning of the word "ideologue"; apparently you don't know it, as you've used the word incorrectly.

Fine, please DO vote for anyone but Obama! Go work tirelessly for the GOP nominee and by all means, donate just about every penny you posess to that campaign. Of course it doesn't matter one iota, WHO it'll be, because after all, it won't be Obama. *smirk*

Glad that you support Palin. BUT....You give Palin supporters a bad rap. No wonder we have to take so much flak, it’s because of people like you. You really need to grow up and realize that this is not a game of one-ups-man-ship. This is our country, our future.... so grow-up and learn to do more than stick your waggly tongue out at those you don’t agree with. I support Sarah Palin if she chooses to run, but will also support anything that ends up against OBAMA.... sorry... I want this idiot out of the Presidency. Apparently that is NOT your goal. So we disagree... so put your kool-aid stained tongue back in your mouth... stand up and act your age. I have a Grand-nephew who behaves better than you and can actually hold a conversation without reverting to toddler-tactics. You could learn a lot from him.

Again..your post tells me you don’t care if Obama is re-elected. So just who are you working for?

I’m with you and Steyn.

And I don’t understand the those who are saying she should be Energy Secretary instead either. All she did here as gov was raise taxes on oil companies to the point that they are drilling no new wells on state land, gave $500 million to a Canadian company for a gas pipeline that is never going to be built, and declare an even more stupid than usual unmeetable renewable energy goal of the type every lefty pol is so hot on (50% by 2025.)

Sounds like Steyn sees it about the way I do... I agree on Palin, Huckabee, Newt and Trump. Pawlenty biggest impression in the first debate was the orange tie that matched Santorum's fake tan.

When she resigned from her elected office in AK, in reaction immediately after the speech on FOX, Krauthammer suggested she do exactly what she has done successfully. He said in 10 years or even by 2016 the resignation wouldn't be as much a hindrance to seeking higher office but said for 2012 it'd be a killer.

But, did he serve in Viet Nam?

Pawlenty didn't serve in Vietnam because he was born in 1960. That war was over when he was in his early teens.

You’ll never reach the “true believers” with facts.
