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.
No one answered :boohoo:
Wouldn't a rational, thinking-things-through, know-what-he-is-talking-about guy be a better choice?Quote:

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. :eek: 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. :hmmm:Quote:

In the following wikipedia article make the following substitutions:
Substitute:
U.S. for China
Palin for Mao
Republican Party for Communist Party
socialism for capitalism
Tea Party for Red Guard
The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was a violent mass movement that resulted in social, political, and economic upheaval in the People’s Republic of China starting in 1966 and ending officially with Mao's death in 1976. It resulted in nation-wide chaos and economic disarray and stagnation.
It was launched by Mao Zedong, the chairman of the Communist Party of China, on May 16, 1966; he alleged that "liberal bourgeoise" elements were permeating the party and society at large and that they wanted to restore capitalism. Mao insisted, in accordance with his theory of permanent revolution, that these elements should be removed through revolutionary violent class struggle by mobilizing China's youth who, responding to his appeal, then formed Red Guard groups around the country.

She isn't afraid to tell it like it is. So what if sometimes she comes off a little rough around the edges....she is a "real" person unlike the marketing ploy in office right now. She also has good Christian values. If she could get a good team behind her to help with the hard decisions I'd get behind her no doubt. This country needs to make a quick u-turn and get it's priorities back on track and aim itself back towards God. She just might be able to help a great deal with that.
May God bless America but more importantly, may America bless God!
As a Christian, an anarchist and a vet, I don't find warhawks very Christ like... maybe it's just me.
God sent the Israelites into war. I don't believe you can wrap God up into such a small package. Go a reread Joshua and tell me you still feel the same.Quote:

Well as I see it the problem is not in the White House
it is in both houses of congress AND in the civil servants
that do all the work.
We need quality legislators, quality legislation and more
importantly oversight of the regulatory agencies that
make such a mess of things day in and day out.
Go reread Jesus and tell me if you still feel the same. There is nothing Christian about war.Quote:

But as far as actual ability to govern, so far she's demonstrated that she's worse than most.Quote:

I take it you haven't read Revelation yet? I'll be very happy to continue this in PMs or even over Skype if you'd like but I don't believe we ought to cloud up this thread anymore than we have already.Quote:

Also mixing religion with politics is a first step in a path that leads to sad ending, imho.
I liked Sarah Palin back before I ever heard of her. Like Randy Weaver, I wish she would stay in the middle of nowhere with her odd ideas and beliefs. My town has no place for Absolute Truthers like her.
I'm no Palin fan, not by a long shot, but maybe the lack of truth in DC is the problem, Sorry Johnny, I couldn't resist!Quote:

You do realize the Truth is what your hometown was built upon don't you?Quote:
