Even if the republicans were deluded enough to nominate him, the general election would be a wipe out.


Leave it up to the RNC to do what they can to get him nominated.

I would think that you’d prefer a candidate who acted strategically. Why rush things?

As the saying goes: “Don’t shoot, until you see the whites of their eyes.” And: “keep your powder dry”. It seems to me that Sarah is following those maxims. Those with an itchy trigger finger are likely to find themselves short of ammo, before the battle is over.

This election WILL NOT be about who can SPEND the MOST MONEY.

We may see enormous monies spent but the focus will center on LEADERSHIP and INTEGRITY.

Neither ROMNEY nor OBOZO have enough money to BUY either.

All it takes is money to win the election. Just ask President Perot and President Forbes.

Who's giving to this RINO?

The left (he was elected by MASS. voters, so he can't be THAT bad).

The Mormons.

RINO-lovers.

Morons fooled by his slick talk and looks.

“My fear is that these contributors are the same crony capitalists who have benefited from the Obama administration.”

That’s your answer.

It doesn't matter how much money RINOs raise.

It belongs to Sarah.

Period.

My fear is that these contributors are the same crony capitalists who have benefited from the Obama administration. They are covering their bets.

I don't think you are far off the mark!

Think AMA (Obama/Romney-care), LGBTQW&P(wacked&perverted) crowd, as well as all of the hard line leftist union thugs of Mass!

Article Excerpt
John Connally raised $11 million, then a huge sum, for his presidential run in 1980, and won only one Republican delegate. (NR senior editor Jeffrey Hart joked that he would have voted for Connally for half that.) So money isn't everything in politics; message and luck also pay their...

If the choice is 0bama or Romney I might just stay home.

Romney and his Mormon brainwashing are an abomination.

If it came down to Obama vs Romney, I’d begrudgingly vote for Romney.

It seems to me, judging by the past, that if Romney was the next 4-year or even 8-year GOP pres, there's a very high probability that three things would happen:

1. Voters would become more cynical and angry, and the challenge of "There's not a dime's bit of difference between Republicans and Democrats" would be harder and harder to argue. This would lead even MORE so to --

2. A Congress moved to the left in the mid-terms, as voters become more apathetic and discouraged at their lack of real alternatives to big and expanding government.

3. The next Democrat president would make Obama look centrist.

I know Rush said he'd vote for Elmer Fudd if he ran against Obama. I wonder ... if Joe Leiberman switched parties and ran against Obama, would that Fudd be judged an improvement for future prospects?

Say a truly CONTRASTING GOP candidate got the nod, such as Palin. Someone who made it clear: My Republican party is where you come if you want to vote for less government, reduced government, getting the government monkey off your back. The less the government, the bigger the citizen. The more freedom to prosper and do right, as America has for the past 200 years.

Say she runs and loses. Do you seriously think she wouldn't become more powerful, especially as the ONLY way Obama could win would be through the usual manufactured, ginned, organized, and fraudulent vote campaign that is how a minority of liberals has seized power over the American majority, which is made up of conservatives? Say she lost. Probabilities are that two things would happen:

1. The Republican party would become more attractive to angry Americans clamoring for a real alternative, Palin would become more attractive and viewed as a leader.

2. Congress and the Republican party would make a much harder turn to the right during the mid terms.

3. Obama, or whatever other idiot liberal gets the Dem nomination for 2012, in the White House, is demonized all the more by the real people in this country, who are getting wise to the MSM spin. And they ARE. I read the comments. It seems pretty obvious that Obama, liberalism, and a biased press are loathed and held in contempt by the majority of our fellow Americans.

Just because the MSM, including FOX news, doesn't project their voices, doesn't mean that majority isn't there.

As far as I'm concerned, someone LIKE Palin, and by that I mean a Republican who holds high the banner "The Republican party is the place to go for limiting intrusive government and letting you take more responsibility for yourself" -- someone who truly gives Americans, the majority, who are yearing for it, a real alternative -- someone like that gets the GOP nomination and runs, WE WIN EITHER WAY.

If you vote for Elmer Fudd, you're going to get Toon Town. And the next "Obama" is going to be Judge Doom.
