Palin will be handwritten by myself if either of these RINOs are chosen. They are both fake as heck. Listened to Perry for a minute and had to run to the bathroom and barf.
I bow to no one in my devotion to conservative principles, but I would like to inject a note of reality here. If a RINO such as Perry or, worse yet, Romney gets the nod, we can write in Palin, but she will not win. What will happen is that Obama would get 42% of the vote, the Republican would get 40, and Palin would get 18. My numbers are probably off by a little, but a Tea Party candidate, whether a write-in or a third party choice, would definitely siphon enough votes away from Romney or Perry to ensure a second term for Barack Obama.
although your intent is clear, and your heart is certainly in the right place, just think about the consequences to America of a second Obama term--one in which he is unrestrained by any thoughts of having another election to win. He would almost certainly get to choose another supreme Court justice. So, if you like Kagan and Sotomayor, you'll love his next pick. Eric Holder will still be running Justice, with none available to white people. The budget process will include more of the shuck and jive nonsense and out of control spending we've witnessed in his first term, wiyh its horrific effect on jobs, the housing market, and the stock market. New and more restrictions will be placed on our liberties by czars and other hand-picked bureaucrats.
I could go on all day about the consequences of an Obama reelection. I certainly respect your right to cast a protest vote, but understand that it will be just that. If a Tea Party favored candidate does not win the republican nomination, he or she has no chance in the general election. And, while it breaks my heart to say it, a vote for Palin is nothing more than a vote for Obama, and, for that reason, I will support the republican nominee, even if it turns out to be Perry, or, worse yet, Romney. I am prepared for the flames this exercise in pragmatism will bring. I am not prepared for four more years of Barack Obama.
Another Obama voter chimes in.
