Neither can Obama. He is one and done.
He may not get the nomination.

I honestly don't care. If she blocks any RINO Republicans from gaining the nomination, then her job is done. I don't want some milktoast moderate republican that is really just a democrat-lite getting into office and merely slowing the decline instead of actually fixing it. It's not about the party--it's about the platform. In 4 more years of President Skippy's time in office people will be begging her or another conservative to run.

Actually,
I'm not a liberal. I'm very moderate and center. But this lady has indeed made a fool of herself! She's not a politician anymore. she's more like a reality TV celebrity. She resigned, and now has her own TV show. So that's not smearing her, that's just saying the truth. I have nothing against her being a celebrity on TV but her as a politician. No thanks.

Even my Republican fiancee thinks she loves to make a fool of herself and he's pretty conservative. So please, don't turn this into oh poor Palin, people and the media are picking on you. If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen! She loves every minute of it!

Why is it though that people never attack her message they just attack her personally.

If she were elected President I would enjoy watching the catastrophe from Canada.

This is funny. Uh...when is the last time you nominated a Republican who ISN'T milktoast moderate? The following presidents couldn't win the Republican nomination today:

Ike, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and both Bush's. None of them could win if they actually had to use their record as Republican presidents as a resume. Ike, too liberal and presided over high taxes....AND defended those high taxes as well as social programs. Nixon for obvious reasons, not to mention his price controls. Ford because he's well...Ford. Reagan raised taxes, gave amnesty, and spent like a drunken sailor. The first Bush raised taxes. And GWB doesn't even need an explanation.

"Begging her or another conservative to run?" LOL...you guys don't elect conservatives. Get real.

No brainwash here. Like I said before I'm not left, I'm center.
Anyone with two eyes and ears that hears this woman open her mouth can conclude, she's an attention wh*re! She loves the spotlight and does whatever it takes to be in it. Including, but not limited to, making herself look like a fool. That has nothing to do with teachers or world events that is simply how I see it.
PS I didn't do most of my elementary schooling in this country so I wasn't brainwashed by the so-called left leaning teachers.

That's my point, actually. I'm sick of voting for democrat-lite candidates. I hope with the rise of the Tea Party that the country will FINALLY realize that we are in for some serious financial problems in this country if we don't stop the spending.

Tigers don't change stripes. You've been electing moderate Republicans for years, and you've done so because they're electable. This is a moderate country....we're not going to elect Jeff "Beauregard" Sessions for president. LOL!
