Thread: Good OP=ED here from NY Times

The Palin Brand - Opinionator Blog - NYTimes.com

As a conservative, Palin is amongst the most illogical and illegitimate candidates the GOP, an obsolete party, IMO, has ever seen.

Ironically, I argue with conservatives moreso than with liberals when it comes to potential candidacy of any given person; Sarah Palin is a prime example.

How anyone, conservative or liberal, can consider someone as incompetent, inadequate, and, dare as I say, insufferable a candidate as Sarah Palin is, so far as I'm concerned, beyond my own comprehension.

I can hear conservatives now: "Well, atleast she's not Obama!" What does it matter? Frankly, at this point, I'd rather vote for Obama as opposed to Palin, and again, that's coming from a staunch conservative, both fiscal and conservative.

Do you not believe me? Research Palin's past executive experience for yourself; the results aren't so convenient for a conservative.

In 2012, I don't know who the hell I'll vote for, but it sure as hell won't be for Sarah Palin.

I am a rock-solid conservative constitutionalist and I refuse to give up my constitutional rights. I am deeply distressed that I must register as a Republican in order to vote in the primaries.

Liberals scare me to death and 98% of Republicans nowadays are out and out pussies IMO. Men used to be men - not anymore.

Sarah Palin, unfortunately, comes across as a dizzy female and gives me no reason to support her candidacy.

I'm looking for a ballbusting hero but none are forthcoming.

HELP!!!

I'm calling for help, myself.

Wouldn't a rational, thinking-things-through, know-what-he-is-talking-about guy be a better choice?

Yes, that sounds like the guy I voted for last time around and I will be glad to vote for him again if I'm still green side up. If the results of the last election had gone the other way the thought that Palin could have been "one heartbeat away" as vice pres to a 75 year old man with a history of melanoma is chilling. Sometimes I wonder if this is real or OTOH, if Rod Serling will suddenly appear and I will find out I don't even really exist but am a character in a re-run of the Twilight Zone.

Sarah is the gift that keeps on giving...
