The last thing that America needs is a President who couldn't locate Afghanistan on a map(or spell it) if her life depended on it. Or worse yet, one who would simply quit in the middle of her term because "those nasty reporters just won't stop writtin' stuff 'bout the family".

OK, as a fellow conservative (and I do not mean a conservative christian btw) tell me how Palin in any way shows herself to be a conservative? By quiting her term as governor? Whatever slim credibility she may have had has been lost since she made that incredibly stupid move. As for Romney - hell, the born agains would never vote for a mormon any more than they would vote for a wiccan or a satanist. Even if they tied Palin to the ticket I doubt the moral majority would go for it. And sadly that is who the republicans are married to. And that is the ruination of the gop.

Camping,I am just curious...WHAT do the conservatives have against Ron Paul and WHY are they not backing him? He actually could be a winner by pulling in conservative Dems too.

This makes absolutely NO sense to me....Why? I personally think that Mitt Romney is a much more viable candidate. Could someone explain why the Republican powerbrokers would back Palin over a Mitt Romney?

I felt a bit bad for Palin last year until she opened her mouth. Then I thought that she was in over her head and needed time to catch up.

Yet here it is, a year later and there is no improvement. She still makes no sense in speeches and shows zero knowledge about how the world works. She obviously doesn't want to learn.

People aren't scared that Sarah Palin will cost them an election, they're scared of what would happen if she won. It's quite obvious that she doesn't care to learn about things. Even GWB could do at least that.

Palin will not be on a ticket period in 2012, because she would be electoral suicide. the minute she opens her mouth, 55% of the country is going to remember why they didn't vote for her the first time around.

Is this some sort of old Republican frat boy prank? Or are they simply planning on using her as a sort of puppet regime should she be elected....heaven forbid!

I have yet to hear her utter an intelligent sentence...about anything.

I have heard numerous Republican talking heads speak about her as if she was the Virgin Mary/Margaret Thatcher/a female Ronald Reagan And the followers of these talking heads are dumb enough to agree.

For the sake of the country, please just let her go away.
I absolutely wouldn't vote for Obama, and I agree. I'm hoping for another viable party to rise from the ashes but, if she runs, I likely won't be voting for anyone (because I'm definitely not voting for Obama even though I started out optimistic). I do have to say that Palin is at least as smart as the second and third in command though (maybe smarter). Those two are complete tards! What a fine mess...for everyone.

It has become clear to me that the republicans are as organized as the mob. Not saying that they are criminals or running prostitution rings but they certainly have an upper echeleon that tells them what to do, who to vote for, what to say and what not to say. Ron Paul doesn't play that as he is his own man and in fact the only one I could truly call a conservative. Does that mean I back him 100%? No, but pretty damned close. I think more conservatives within the rep party would back Paul as well but the gop and the media have painted him as a nutjob. Most people simply aren't interested in doing the research for themselves. If they did, Paul would get more of a following.

It is all about power and control. The nomination of W back in 2000 puzzled me as it was clear that W was not the man for the job. He lacked experience in all areas. Yet that was who we were stuck with (and thus the infamous phrase 'voting for the lesser of two evils was born'). I believe the gop nominated W because he didn't think for himself, he didn't have fully developed views and was easy to manipulate. You can say many things about Ron Paul - but uninformed and easy to manipulate aren't any of them.

No, Ron Paul is too old for another bid and in anycase I believe that Obama will be a two termer barring a great depression ala the 1930s. I don't know who is coming up like Paul - I expect noone, sadly.
