He should just say what it is. Mass, Cal, and Tenn were all charged with socialist healthcare models to see which would work. They all failed.

We need a Cain. The “My turn” retreads just ain’t gonna cut it. Although who am I to pick? I was a total Fredhead. Mitt still looks like an MLM salesmen to me. I have doubts if Cain could pull it off. My best choice is Sarah but she would have to run against the media and the people of this country are too stupid to vote in their best interests.

You're a troll.

Honest people do not refer to proponent's of Sarah Palin's candidacy as a "cult".

Her supporters have quoted many things more than sound bytes in her favor; if you really *were* a reader here on FR, you'd have known that.

As it is, the accusation reeks of projection: most opposition to Palin revolves around "she's stupid!" (why?) "She said 'I can see Russia from my house!' " (No, that was Tina Fey.) "You're a cultist!" (No, I prefer her policies.) "Well, then, you're brainwashed and stupid!" ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

The fact is she was a failed VP candidate on a failed ticket that lost to an unknown senator and a doddering lifer from Delaware.

She was the only reason McCain didn't lose in a landslide: and if you recall, McCain basically threw the election between calling off the campaign in response to the fiscal crisis, and addressing crowds at his rallies that "You don't have to fear this man as President."

She quit her duty in Alaska,.

Nope, she left the kill zone. From a campaign designed to destroy her and her family personally, even after she had lost the race. Teams of Dem operatives found and exploited a loophole in AK law allowing the governor to be sued by anyone, and requiring the governor to defend herself out of her own pocket: despite the specious nature of the lawsuits, including one suing her for setting up a legal defense fund.

Or did you conveniently "forget" that, you lying sack troll-excrement?

Remember, she has two New York Times bestsellers since then? And managed to get a prime-time cable show with her as the star (read "free publicity" which not only did she not have to pay for, not only did someone else pay for it, but Sarah received pay for it).

She couldn’t hack Jeuneau, why should we trust her in DC?

She hacked Juneau into quivering pieces of putrefying corruption: which is the OTHER reason the RINOs are working with the Communists Dems to destroy her: she will take out the stench of corruption.

So in that sense, they are perceptive not to trust her: she does not trust them any farther than she can throw them.

Oh, and the other reason? What other candidate has kept on going in the face of having late-night comics joking about the statutory rape of their teenage daughter by a professional athlete, from having a Sheriff with jurisdiction over a crime saying on national TV that she contributed to the shooting of a sitting Congresswoman (and admitting at the same time that he had absolutely NO evidence backing him up)?

If she can advance through that, she will politically s*d*mize Reid and Obama with a flamethrower.

Sorry if your *ss hurts.

Cheers!

He could have, but didn't.

When you have the Wall Street Journal, Rush and National Review making fun of you at the same time while you dream of being the GOP nominee.....you're in trouble.

The moderates are not going to push him through his big mistake, he's got enough negatives without the self inflicted wound of trying to stick up for Romney care.

We'll see, this thing is just beginning.

Cain will make waves, but I doubt he can win.

Right now the race is wide open.

You got that right.

It's a long road to dethroning Bambi, I think a few more surprises may pop up.

Even Bredesen(D) TN slashed Tenncare and started arresting the drug pushers. If Romney thinks America doesn’t know about these models he is very much unfit for any office.

Iowa is looking more and more like a bloodbath. If the winning candidate garners more than 25% of the vote here, I would treat that as a surprise. 30% and that would be a major victory. Palin may not have to battle Huck for SoCon votes, but don’t discount Cain, Santorum, or Pawlenty who can hold their own on their own stances. My take on a typical Iowa Caucus:

IOWA
Romney: 19%
Pawlenty: 19%
Cain: 16%
Palin: 16%
Daniels: 11%
Gingrich: 9%
Paul: 6%
Santorum: 4% (maybe drops out)

I get that feeling myself.

Time to suck it up though, Bambi ain't going away without a fight, and he wants to make sure your grand children's children have to pay for all his "ideas".

I used to shove Santorum into lockers in Jr. High. He would be well off do get a nice reality show somewhere. Why wish for the kiss of death for us. Don’t kill the messenger but it would be fun to see Sarah or Cain to give him a good slappin.

EXCELLENT.

No offense to Huckabee, he’s sincere, but he’s uninspiring.

Now. About Chuck Norris’ next endorsement...

Cool. Sometimes you gotta decide if it’s “in for a penny or in for a pound.”
