Yes, good idea. Maybe the Republicans could clone her. At least that would ensure that I will never have to endure a Republican president again in my lifetime.
If you really believe that Sarah Palin was any kind of boon to the Republican party then you're seriously mistaken. Go back to your roots and redefine what being conservative is about, then you'll have a chance at another election.
But I'll give you a hint: Hypocrisy, smear tactics and value systems which are shallow like puddles on a rainy day are not what conservatism is about.
Sarah Palin cost Senator McCain the election. Deal with it.
Except harder, that was probably the least smart thing I have heard all day and its been a long one.
I voted Obama, I want my tax money to go to building better infastructure, I don't live off welfare or my parents, I have a masters degree, and I make plenty as a architectural engineer. I don't know how I will vote in 2012.
I am sick of you republican conservatives stereotyping us as lazy, bums who live off welfare. Many democrats work hard, create the technology that you use to type your stereotypical comments on the internet, and make plenty of money.
And I quote:

We have the military to thank for the Internet

Yeah, but I KNOW that Reagan would be ashamed of the youth who today call themselves conservative Republicans. Being conservative does not mean one hates, it does not mean that one must incite anger, it does not mean one is so anti liberal that he comes across as being UN-AMERICAN.
That's a totally different topic. People need to ask themselves what they believe it is to be an American these days.
It may not look like it right now, but conservatives won yesterday. It will take less than a year for the Republicans to realize that you cant win with a moderate like McCain, they have to have a real conservative; and the moderates and dems are going to realize that "The Messiah" is not just to the left, he is in the left ditch, and they will vote for anyone but him. Remember conservatives, it took Jimmy Carter to give us Ronald Reagan.
Then how do you explain all the loses in Congress? A lot of conservatives lost yesterday. Even Rove said yesterday that the Ronald Reagan era is over and that the repugs need to redefine themselves for the future instead of continuing to look back to 1980. We are in a new century now, try to catch up.

Its a cycle and I will agree with you that this will most likely cause the party to look itself over a bit and that is a good thing. Though, it could possibly go the route of a second democrat party (though I don't think it likely) and that would open up the chance for the independent party or possibly even another to finally step up to the plate. /shrug

Try to pay attention. I already said, they lost because they are not being true conservatives. They are doing to much of this "reaching across the isle" business, and that is why they lost.
Wrong, there will always be real conservatives that will be able to point to other nations that go liberal and those messed up nations will keep us on track, not to mention after a Socialist like Obama, this country will be ready for a conservative "CHANGE"
As compared to the "Non socialist" sitting president who nationalized the banks...and the "Non socialist" presidential candidate from the RNC who wanted to buy out personal mortgages...yeah...I see where you are coming from...yeah..anything that has an R is ok, but a D is a socialist...
No offense, but Sarah Palin and national office just don't go together. I am liberal. I know that conservatives have a voice too, and am happy for your thoughts. However, she is not qualified for national office.
Yes, well pardon me if I do take offense to your post. The left has taught me that I have the right to be offended by...well...anything I want to be offended by.
Sarah Palin was the only individual in the final race who had any executive experience. She had worked with budgets, the legislature, Alaskan courts, foreign nations, law enforcement, and all of the other exposure that a Governor receives that a Senator never does. Instead of passing laws and hoping there's enough money in the budget next year, she decided if there was enough money and prioritized spending according to the budget.
She was not selected for national office by a political machine. She did not come from a wealthy genealogy. Her husband had a regular job. She raised her own children while acting as a mayor and governor.
If those attributes are not what you would want in a president, then you misunderstand the word "qualified."
Keeping regular people like Sarah Palin from the White House based on the idea that she doesn't "fit" with the establishment is the type of thinking that has led to a national sense of "elitist" presidents (and I'm not excepting President Bush from this).
Politics should be open to everyone, and we should look to ordinary proven people to lead our country. By narrowly focusing on the prestigious and wealthy, we've created a new social class in this country.
At least Bill Clinton, despite being a criminal and a fraud, didn't come from this elite social class. Which is probably one of the few good things I'll say about the man.

There were true conservatives that lost. You are the one that needs to catch up to 2008. This isn't the 1980's anymore. You can cut your mullet off now.

I never defended McCain or Bush anywhere in this post only Reagan, I dont like either McCain or Bush; however Obama is more of a Socialist and that is not hard to figure out.
