None of the people you listed think it's OK to allow Obama's annual deficits to exceed one trillion dollars or think Clinton's bank deregulation was a good idea.
True, but only because Our Sarah doesn't know what "deregulation" means.
I think it's time for a reality check here.
First off, regardless of who will be a future president, or even the current president, one thing is being overlooked.
For the most part, the president is a figurehead.
When a candidate stands up in front of the camera and states he, or she is going to do this and that on their first day, once elected, that is rubbish.
Anything a potential president promises is only wishful thinking, there are just too many variables.
They are powerless to change anything.
It is all up to the congress.
Sure, the president can approve, or veto certain legislation,(and the presidential veto can be over turned by a vote in congress) but other than having the power to issue an executive order, the president is powerless.
Even in the case of executive order, the congress can overturn that.
It is not the presidential elections that should command your attention, but rather, those you elect to congress.
Once in congress, members head up all kinds of important positions that deal directly with the citizenry.
Congress, and only congress can vote to raise or lower your taxes.
The president can not do that, even though as a candidate it was stated he, or she could, and would.
So regardless of who runs for president in the next election, doesn't much matter.
It is those running to represent you in congress that hold the key too your future, and the future direction of this country.
Mickey Mouse, Yogi Bear, Obama, Clinton, or whomever, doesn't matter.
Members of congress are the real meat and potatoes of political clout in this country, and you would do well to remember that the next time you are in the voting booth.
Bob.
Yep;if Hilary runs and wins the that will mean the Obama left loses the committee control they tookoverini 2008 from centralist Clinton faction.It seems funny that few acutally realised the fight that tookj place when centailist loss control of the right to witre the paltform. Clinto certainyl has forgotten even with the support this year. Alot fo har feeling s still which came out with Obama;s first term.Things arent always what they seem.
She is an intellectually challenged attention-*****. Her "rough and tumble Alaskan woods-woman" image is complete farce. She's also a pretty terrible shot.
Is Sarah Palin the new Ronald Reagan?
She has alot Romney couldn't offer or energize the base like Palin can.
She a woman, understands women's issues like abortion.
She a true conservative and believes in America is only country for nationm building
She blue collar, consistent on her views.
Sarah Palin is the new Ronald Reagan: charming and affable and unwilling to back down if she's right.
I really really really hope she gets the nom in 2016 so Hillary or Cuomo, whoever is picked, can dust the floor with her. She is also very VERY affluent. Her rustic Alaska woods-woman image is a complete farce. Even this dirty liberal (me) is a better shot than her.
I wish she became our president. We need a very religious Christian like her running the country!!
