I like her, but even good conservatives like my parents balk at the idea of President Palin. <<<

Ok...so if it was Palin vs. Obama....U and your parents would vote for Obama??....

If she runs...U Hand-wringers will just have to stay in the truck...The real conservatives will do the heavy lifting..,,

Of course I’d vote for Palin. She was the only reason I was glad to vote for the McCain ticket.

“If she runs...U Hand-wringers will just have to stay in the truck...The real conservatives will do the heavy lifting..”

This is what I really hate about what is becoming of Freerepublic. If you don’t believe anything can be made of the birth certificate issue anymore, you’re not a “real conservative.” If you think Palin would have a hard time overcoming the overwhelming bias against her in the press and might have trouble in the general election, you’re not a “real conservative.” Soon it will be that if you don’t believe in young earth creationism, you aren’t a “real conservative.”

I’d hate to see this forum adopt the cult of personality, monolithic group-think apologist methods of which the democrats are so fond. I like debate, but this forum is becoming less about debate and more about sputtering out “Agree with me or you’re not a REAL CONSERVATIVE!”

For the record, I’d wet myself with joy if Jim Demint ran. THERE’S a conservative I could get behind. As it is, I might have to settle for someone like Cain in the near term. Not sure yet. I support Palin, but I doubt she can win given the fact that many Americans don’t take the time to educate themselves against the lies of the MSM.
