You really put that much stock in polls?

Polls that appear properly done, absolutely.

There is a tendency around here to accept without question any poll that shows what we want to believe and to summarily reject any poll that predicts otherwise. I respect good polling regardless of whether I like the result.

Moderates will not support Palin...lots of indies will not either along with lots of conservatives...my favorite candidate since she first came on the scene can’t win. I have had to face reality...

The liberal media has ruined it for Sarah Palin, we might as well admit it. No matter how good Palin or Michelle Bachmann are they cannot beat Obama in a million years. They might pick up lots of Republican primary votes but they cannot beat Obama

Romney and Perry can beat Obama and I much prefer Rick Perry. To beat Obama you have to raise hundreds of millions of dollars. Mitt Romney and Rick Perry can do this.

Perry has some very deep pockets supporting him especially in Texas. A whole lot of oil tycoons are backing him all the way. There is a hardcore group of Sarah Palin supporters who do not have the kind of money it’s going to take to put her in the WH. That is the sad part....for her and what presidential elections have turned into today.

Not much of a fighter are you?

Frankly, I don’t allow “conventional wisdom” to lead me around by the nose.

Neither does Palin.

“In fact, if elected Perry would be the most conservative president in history.”

ROTFLMAO

I’m more than certain that President Reagan is smiling right about now.

My dog is equally more conservative than McCain and Perry. And my dog would NOT have been Al Gore’s Campaign Manager for POTUS, either!

I can’t say that I fully disagree with you on this.

However, this field is not yet set.

I am a patient man.

I just don’t get your line of thinking. Yesterday Rasmussen reported Sarah losing to the O, 50-33.

As I have been pointing out for months, the Palin adoration is not rational thinking. The Palin adoration is nothing more than an irrational Cult of Personality.

The Palin cultists would rather reelect Obama with Sarah Palin at the top of the GOP ticket than defeat Obama with anybody else.

The August FOX News Poll showed that 75% of all voters believe that Sarah Palin would NOT be a good President. Only a Presidential candidate with a death wish or a Presidential candidate that is as dumb as a box of rocks would fill the VP slot with somebody with such toxic national poll numbers.

Sarah Palin's support is a mile deep and an inch wide. That is why "The Undefeated" absolutely bombed at the box office.

You understand that. The Palin cultists never will.

That says a whole lot about Sarah, don't you think? She supported McRino and Perry....what's up with that?

I didn't know Gore ran for President in 1988? You might either get your facts straight or quit your lying.

Doesn’t matter. New rules since Obama. Born in the United States, qualified to be President. No more “Natural-born” citizen necessary.

You really put that much stock in polls? Rasmussen has been massaging the dismal numbers for Ubama for a long time

The typical Palin apologist response: Stick your head in the sand and avoid all reality.

The reality is that EVERY poll shows Palin with toxic numbers.

The reality is that the February 2011 FOX News Poll showed that 72% of all voters thought that Sarah Palin would NOT be a good President.

The reality is that the August 2011 FOX News Poll showed that 75% of all voters thought that Sarah Palin would NOT be a good President.

There are none so blind as those who absolutely refuse to see.

Oh dear, you are bold to try to open the eyes of the Palin devotees. Yes, I like her, wouldn’t say a word against her.
But gee whiz, let’s be realistic here folks

You know freespirited, I have noticed the same thing.
If they don’t like the polls, people on FR just say oh you can’t believe polls, they are taken when everyone is at work, they blah, blah, blah denial keeps going on and on.
You nailed it perfectly.

Actually, you are wrong...barry did not set any precedence nor did that other guy in the 1800's. There is precedence of United States Law...just because the dems criminally allowed barry on the ticket does not change the law. The once a likely VP candidate has been vetted and they do not meet the NBC requirements...they will not be a VP candidate.

IF a man commits a murder and gets away with it...then does that change the law?

She might improve her numbers to 38% from 33%?

Rubio is NOT eligible to run for VP...both his parents were born in Cuba and when he was born neither of them were naturalized citizens. He is considered ‘Native Born Citizen.’ There is another level of a citizen which is Natural Born Citizen...both parents at the time of birth are US Citizens.

Nowhere does the Constitution define "natural born", as you define it, for citizens born on U.S. soil.

The language of such claims is often taken from laws that apply to children of U.S. citizens that are born OUTSIDE of the U.S.

Citizenship Rules for People Born Outside the United States

Rubio was born in Miami.

If you were born in France or Cuba or Kenya, you need to pay attention to such details. If you are born on U.S. soil from legal immigrants "under the jusrisdiction thereof", all those details are irrelevant as you are a natural born U.S. citizen according to the 14th Amendment.

President Chester A. Arthur's father was not born in the U.S. and was not naturalized citizen at the time of Chester's birth.

Vice President Spiro Agnew's father was not born in the U.S. and was not naturalized citizen at the time of Spiro's birth.

What did Perry do for Tort reform in Texas?

He took on the trial lawyers and beat them. If he runs against Obama, trial layers across America will be giving Obama tens of millions to stop Rick Perry because this time he'll f them nationwide  (God willing)

That is a joke. Like all would be candidates they consult with their families. Anita didn’t tell Perry to run and Perry obeyed as you imply, but I am done arguing with you because you lie to yourself so I will never be able to convince you.
