Is It 2012 Already?

Eric Cantor’s name should be on the list. We want strong Conservatives ONLY.

Ron
Strong Conservative Is what got us into this mess we need a MODERATE GO CRIST!

“A strong conservative got us into this”
What? Bush is not a strong conservative. He spent just like a liberal.

I’m not a Republican but Crist seems to me to be the best of the people mentioned here.

Wow! What a long list of losers.

Pray the people of this country have enough sense to put a conservative back in in 2012. I’m not too sure there is enough intelligence left to do so, and if not, this was a nice country while it lasted.

This is the most rediculous bs as of yet. Maybe if you do gooders would concentrate on the current set of circumstances instead of who may get elected in 2012 we could get something done.

Please, no not her. She is an embarassment. She talks silly. I’m more up on current events than she is.
The Republican Party needs to have a come to Jesus meeting with themselves.
They need intelligent people to run. If they can’t beat the dems after this mess, forget it.

2012 is a ways away; anything can happen. People grow; new candidates enter the picture. Hopefully, we’ll be beyond the pettiness of running the country with the sport of a two (2) party system. There is more to offer life than democratics and republicans. The countries overseas will show us that.

AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!She who shant be named will not go away. Geeze imagine this ticket Gingrich/Palin. Shoot me now please. (Just kidding Sarah you can call off that helicopter now.)

Cant we gat an amendment to the constiitution and Nominate Arnold. Geeze.

Dr. Ron Paul is MY president!

dem – “Hoping Palin is the nom, you betcha!
She scares the bejesus outta folks.” Yeah right. I hope she gets the nomination too 4 more years of Obama or anyone else. Yes she does scare the bejesus out of me and any other sane person.

Are they trying to get this person beat up by the media for the next three years? What are those crazy Republicans thinking?

Palin…wow. Imagine if that mental giant had the helm with the current Republican-caused economic disaster.

Good God, haven’t we had enough of Sara Palin & her ineptitude????

YIPEEEEE!!!!! BabyDoll made the cut!!!! More entertainment!!!!! I cannot even begin to descibe to you all how absolutely THRILLED I am!!!!! She is just so FABULOUSLY entertaining to me!!!

As an Independent, I will support whoever is on the Republican ticket in 2012. I agree with Democrats on global warming, embroyonic stem cell research and a host of other issues, but the Obama/Pelosi/Reid administration is taking us down a road that I find frightening. I’m one of the 95% of people who bought a house I could afford, and paid my mortgage on time every month for 20 years. I was terminated from Anheuser-Busch after eighteen years when it was bought out by INBEV. Now I’m in a forced early retirement, and am looking for part-time work to supplement my income. I can still make my house payment because I bought a home I CAN AFFORD.
I’ve spent my life planning, saving, and doing what I’m supposed to do. Why do the Democrats want me and people like me to help support people who bought more house than they can afford? This is the kind of crap that forced me out of the Democratic Party, and into the ranks of the Independents.
(And if you think you won’t be paying more taxes because you make under $250,000 a year, think again. Obama will be coming after all of us sooner or later.)

Obama will serve like FDR 3 to 4 terms. watch. AND I AM GLAD.

Hmm. Well, by 2012 the economy will have recovered and we will be out of Iraq. So whoever lines up for the repubs in 2012 will lose. If it is Palin, Guilani or Romney, their political careers will be over, so dont expect to see any of them on the ticket. Probably someone younger and up and coming who could afford to lose and still rebound, like Jindal or Pawlenty.

Maybe thinking about 2012 is what is wrong with politics now? Why can’t they just get down to work on the counrty’s problem instead of running for an office that is 4 years away? Come on work on Social security, medicare, education, the abuse on options and future that cause the gasoline price increase which help put us in the recession, Fixing the sub-prime mortage crisis.

*** TRIVIA OF THE DAY ***
George’s Bush + Cheney’s D!ck = Bobby’s Jinatal
Cheney’s D!ck + George’s Bush = Sarah Palin
Bobby’s Jinatal + Sarah Palin = A Boehner

Love the list. A real bunch of losers and incompetents…..
Pres. Obama will be in for 8 years….he has more sense than all of these people combined…..it’s the same GOP…..getting smaller and smaller everyday.

Jenny – attacking someone on a personal basis (like calling them “arrogant”) simply because they disagree with you on the issues is a sign of immaturity. Your arguments would have more strength without the personal attacks. Mature people can and do disagree on issues without resorting to personal attacks. Once again, I stand by my statements above. I disagree with your comments. I will not, however, denigrate you in any way. Doing so would demonstrate a fundamental lack of maturity, as well as a lack of class.

Same old sad & embarassing bunch. How about looking for some new possibilities? Charlie is more concerned about maintaining his tan than the welfare of the people of Florida. Whatever happened to property tax reform? insurance reform?

Palin running in 2012? That is a Democrat’s dream!

Newt Gingrich is the smartest from either party. He should have run last year.

Obama is going to be a great president, and the country is going to want 4 more years of him in 2012.
He’s smart, he’s likeable, he’s the closest thing we’ve had to bipartisan in a long time.
Republicans will try to whip up some opposition, but Americans won’t have it. They’re going to give Obama two terms.

“I’ve spent my life planning, saving, and doing what I’m supposed to do. Why do the Democrats want me and people like me to help support people who bought more house than they can afford? This is the kind of crap that forced me out of the Democratic Party, and into the ranks of the Independents.” Exactly the same picture for me except I’m retired and watched half of my retirement savings vaporize last year. I fault some Democrats, most Republicans, and a host of greedy stupid get rich types (consumers-legislators-businesses) and I was involved in Republican politics for fifteen years and their approach drove me into the ranks of independents. Same problem, but unlike the reps who want to sit back and wait out the crisis (for how long, 20 years?), I understand the bitter need to bail out.

Is this the best that GOP can offer? None of these Repubs can offer anything new. For all you cry baby conservatives get ready for President Obama to serve two terms.

obamanation – Really? Newt?
A guy that has cheated on every one of his wives, and still is entrenched in Reaganism? Who is up to his neck in PACs. Yeah, that’s what you need for the repubs, more of the same.
Crawling back to the ’80s is not going to save the party.

Sorry lot at best.

Clinton has an indescretion and they try to impeach him.
McCain cheats on a wife with cancer.
Newt cheats on a wife with cancer.
Gulliani cheats on his wife parading his girlfriend about town while his wife and two kids are in Gracie Mansion living with him.
And they want these three to run for President? That’s the Republicans for you.

The Republicans would nominate Sarah Palin? Could there be any better proof of their cluelessness??
Too funny.

2much: Well we could all go moose hunting and have a six pack in every frig! :–)
Also Tom D. had to step down for not paying taxes. Palin also did not pay taxes and charge taxpayers for her childrens’ expenses. I just read that article…..nice huh? guess the Dems have to be perfect but if the Repubs do the same thing it is ok.

The only thing Polin would be good for would be a cheap porn! The lady is an idiot!!

Stay alert American Working Citizen. It doesn’t matter if you are Democrat or Republican, the candidates are politicians. We no longer elect representatives. It is about time we elect representatives and dump the politicians. We should demand a selection based on representation even if it is a dark horse and unknown.

JanaB – and kicking a person when they are down is demonstrating class? Yep color me Independent. Sorry if I ofended you. Perhaps I should have said you comment sounded arrogant.

Don’t worry about the GOP. They’ll be back in power at the next election, it won’t matter who runs. Obama will have ruined it for the Democrats for the next 8 years. He’s a liar’ a fool and an idiot. He has only three moves. Fart, Start & Stumble.

Please please please let Palin, Huckabee, Gingrich, Jindal, or Giuliani win so America can once again see how completely idiotic they are!!

ASmerican Pie and DM….Obama is smart and will get us back on our feet.
I’m so tired of the religious factors. Just because someone says they believe in God doesn’t mean they can run the country. Bush ran on that theme…need I say more?
Most people do believe in God but we need to get the country back on its feet and God gave us brains to vote for the right person and think for ourselves.

You’er not going to like CHarlie Crist. Everybody knows he’s in the closet. No problem for me, but then, I’m not a republican.

Ridiculous! Cantor’s much less Conservative than you think! That’s how he won an election in a part of Virginia that is trending heavily Democrat.

DM: You are a DA – and I don’t mean district attorney.

Jana, the point isn’t for those of us who paid our mortgages and lived within our means to support those who didn’t. That there may be some deadbeats who will benefit is the unfortunate byproduct of the plan. The purpose of the plan is to break the cycle of foreclosure and bank instability, and to save the communities that are suffering because of dwindling property tax bases and blight caused by bank-owned foreclosed homes. I realize you are angry about your tax dollars potentially benefitting people who screwed up, but I bet you’re also tired of bailing out financial institutions over and over again. That will keep happening until we stop the foreclosures that leave lenders with no liquidity and a bunch of empty houses they can’t sell. Swallow hard and let people stay in their houses this once, so that banks start lending, people start spending, companies stop laying people off, and stock prices start recovering.

Crist is the only adult on the list. It`s embarrassing to look at this group of potential…. presidents?????

Wow, I cannot believe some of what is being thrown around here. First off Obama is not responsible for the current financial mess, someone said they were laid off and now can’t afford there house, how is that Obama’s fault? Really sstop and think about the REAL reason we are in this financial mess, it is NOT housing, it was the hugh gas prices for 2 or more years, use some common sense, the high gas prices kept people home, no one was buying goods, no one was doing renovations to there homes, therefore it created a domino affect laying people off left and right finally affecting housing, if you’re not working you can’t pay your mortgage!!! simple facts!! I can easily afford my home but if I lose my job I won’t be able to, it’s pretty clear people!..
BTW DM, what do you mean by christianity BACK in our government? does the constitution stating seperation of church and state mean nothing? We need morals back in our government not religion.. you realize a number of the founding fatehrs fought hard to keep religion out of the constitution.. anyway that isn’t the point.
EVERYONE needs to put this country first and stop being so damn negative about both parties!!

Tonya – Amen and we ain’t talking pigs in cosmetics either.

These guys still just don’t get it. They are finished. Their “base” has been reduced to the ultra religious conservatives, a minority. Bye bye fat rich white thieves – you won’t regain power any time soon with your current roster of corrupt thugs.

A list of losers? Wasnt the dem nominee in 00 Gore and in 04 Kerry(traitor)? I mean talk about weak..After Obama who do you have and to say Obama is strong is crazy considering he did lose 48% of the vote. McCai and 80 yr old on his death bed and from the same party as that idiot Bush took 48% of the vote. If im a dem i wouldnt be too cocky here especially with the way the Obama is being so wishy washy with any and all of his plans. I voted ron paul in primaries this time around and didnt vote in the election cause i know he is the only man for the job. Only guy with real solutions really willing to throw evrything out to get this country right again.

Yet another planned waste of GOP donor money. Obama will be re-elected in 2012. If that list is any indication of the party’s stars, man oh MAN are they in even more trouble than we thought. As to the Republicans here: Obama has been in office a little more than a month. Relax and enjoy the ride. We were made to hold our noses for 8 Bush years, so now you folks know how WE felt. The only difference is, Obama actually THINKS and understands the world.

Barb: The only place Obama is going to get us into is bankrupcy court! And, yes, God did create us all but he DID NOT make some people gay! They are gay because they choose to be! God loves everyone, too, but He DOES NOT love everyone’s lifestyle! He loves gays but he hates their lifestyle! The Bible calls their lifestyle an ABOMINATION AND SIN! God hates sin! And incidentally abortion is killing. The Ten Commandments say “Thou Shalt Not Kill”. Therefore, abortion is sin too! And, no, let’s not separate church from state either! Religion should be right in the middle of our next elections and the Holy Bible should ALWAYS be the basis that our government stands on!

DM said: “My picks for 2012 are Palin and Huckabee! Our government has been hijacked by immoral liberals. We need Christianity back in our government!”
If by ‘hijacked’ you mean ELECTED BY A MAJORITY, then I guess you’re right. And if by ‘immoral liberals’ you mean people who disagree with you and your neo-con hypocritical religious beliefs, then I guess you’re right again…..

DM; you are so wrong. People are born gay…they don’t become gay…they have a gene.
and if abortion is a sin what about sending thousands of troops to a war that shouldn’t have been, killing them and others. You mean our troops shouldn’t kill, it’s a sin?

Also I personally do not believe in abortion for myself but I do believe in a woman’s right to choose. There are lots of circumstances..if you are raped or it’s incense or both you and the baby will die?
People who are so self-rightgeous make me feel ill….Live and let live.
Gays do not hurt anyone….get a life

Umm Dan if tehy believed it was the right thing to do they would work with Obama. I assume your making an assumption since I doubt you have spoken to each man. And since its your assumption/opinion we should then just accept that as fact is that correct? Get off your F in soap box and stop making claims. If you believe in the plan Obama has put foward then great but dont make a claim about someone else because they disagree you ahole.

GO MITT!

Ron Paul should just become Governor of Texas and then we can break away from the rest of the US already. Let y’all suffer while we succeed. Texas > the rest of the US.

Paltry pickins, you betcha ! They could choose the Pope, but the GOP would mold him into a moron. Poor Jindal, look what they did to him.

Apparently the GOP thinks that they need to start running early to win the race. However, the pack of names that they have lined up so far are all tortoises, so it won’t be much of a race. Maybe they can draft Ronald McDonald to run as a Republican because they at least like his first name and he is a very successful businessman.

they all stink,please everyone stay home and not vote.

Three years is too far away to think about the next presidential race. Obama has been president only a month. He hasn’t really been tested long enough.

doug – Hmmm, I must have struck a nerve of truth. It’s really big of you to talk so tough over a computer. I’ll bet you’re about 5’6″ and grow really big when you have a beer with your buddies. Do you drive a big four wheel drive jacked off the ground an extra 3 feet?

I like Palin best. Her foreign policy experience is unique. And she winks real nice.

American needs the President who is not only able increase revenue through the implementation of the natural sources which God blessed rather than to SPENDTHRIFT A HUGE MONEY, 3.7 TRILLIONS but also to work out “SMALL GOVERNMENT with EFFICIENT WORKS”. Obama had already failed it and Nancy, Harry and Obama have spawned a Big Monster Government with INEFFICIENT WORKS”.
IMPEACHMENT OBAMA/NANCY/REID
GO SARAH PALIN/BOBBY JINDAL

It really doesn’t matter whom the Republicans nominate, any of the potential candidates identified is far more capable than the current puppet in the White House. With his out of control spending policies and radical socialist agenda, Obama is handing the White House back to the Republicans.

Ron Paul for President of the united States of America in 2012. He is the only Republican of the 10 listed who truly believes and would restore the Constitution of the United States of America, Abolish the Federal Reserve Act (END THE FED), stop NAFTA, bring our troops home instead of having Army Soldiers being the UNITED NATIONS POLICE FORCE, restore our currency back with Gold & Silver, stop Federal Spending on anything other than Congress’s Declaration of War and to support our Armed Forces during peace time, Only Declare War thru appropriate measures by Congress, balance the budget, return our manufacturing base back to the continental United States, end the Great Society LBJ starte in 1965, base our government from the constitution so each state governs itself without Federal intervention or Federal Money! Ron Paul is the only slavation for our Country!

I guess the Republicans want to hand Obama the election in 2012? The only ones that even have a tiny chance are Crist and Romney. None of the others stand a chance against Obama. I’m a Florida resident and Crist has done nothing for our state. We lead the nation in real estate foreclosures, our home owners insurance is OUT OF CONTROL and our school education system is falling apart. And he is the best on that list. Scary times to be a Republican!

Jindal/Palin 2008
Curried Moose Meat for All.

Okay… okay, my colleague just gave me an omnious warning about my fascination with HoneyCakes. He said; “Be careful what you wish for. You know how people buy those baby alligators in Florida and think they are cute and playful? Well, they grow up to be full grown alligators that can kill.” So, I get the analogy… where do I sign-up for intelligent people against BabyDoll…err, Sarah Palin? I’m sad now… but, don’t ya just love that little bun on top of her head and how it bobs all over the place!!!! SHE IS BETTER THAN LUCY!!!! She just tickles me so!

Palin’s the right choice. With her intellect, total grasp of the issues (both domestic and foreign) and experience in dealing with complex matters, her abilities of persuasion will be put to good use in defending our country from foreign powers who wish to do us harm. We need a strong, well educated conservative woman to put this country back on the right track. She knows that high oil prices and bigger corporate profits will trickle down to those working class liberals and they’ll all be better off than getting a little ole tax cut and wasting our money on alternative energy. The sun is free. Who needs that? We need more drilling and more profits for the oil companies. Go Sarah.

How about limblaugh and blabbage? When that combination looses the repulican party will abandon the neocons forever.

It’s hard to see how Obama won’t have a hard time in 2012. The people who don’t like him now (roughly 50%) are not about to start liking him. Large numbers of his present supporters will be disappointed because they have unrealistic expectations of him. So the smart thing for the GOP is to pick someone moderate. That was John McCains tactical error. If he had picked an intelligent moderate running mate (like Colin Powell), the right would have still voted for him because they had no where else to go, and he would have gotten enough of the rest to have won. But by picking an uneducated ignorant red neck as a running mate, the bulk of the people who voted for the GOP ticket did so with great reservation, and that was not enough. The next race for the White House is guaranteed to occur with the bulk of Americans disaffected by the incumbent, and so is for the GOP to lose.

How could they forget Joe the Plumber?

A better title to this article would have been – List of Losers 2012.

Romney is #9???? this is unfathomable. Huckabee???? Palin??? are you kidding me??is this a lineup of candidates to replace Jay Leno??? WT F?

That’s ok. I’m pretty happy with Obama, thank you. All hail the implosion of hte republican party.

“Ron Paul…” is anti choice. I will never vote for anyone who wants to force unwed girls to develope babies against their will. Never. That’s a deal breaker. We have enough unemployed welfare delinquits, thank you.

The only republican I would give two cents for is Crist. The republican party is simply a joke right now. They seem to consist only of unqualified power-mongers with no citizen-friendly or middle-class friendly agenda whatsoever.

Well, early polls don’t mean much. A lot can change between now and 2012, but after Obama’s record spending, the country might be ready for a popular governor with an excellent record as a fiscal conservative.

SeaRamblerOne: By immoral liberals I mean people with absolutely no moral compass at all and that believe anything goes or that sin is fine and that there’s nothing wrong with it.

The Neocons forgot Mickey Mouse!

After being a Republican for 40 years, I moved to the other side of the isle this year based on the fact that we had no real representation of the people and the thought of Sarah as President scared me enough to make a move I really didn’t want to make. Christ is the ONLY one who could bring me back to the party. He has shown he can actually cross isles and think of people first rather than his career. Country first is a great statement but actions speak louder than words!

“By immoral liberals I mean people with absolutely no moral compass at all and that believe anything goes or that sin is fine”…becareful with your holier than thou attitude DM. Bush launched a war against folks who were of no threat to us whatsoever. What is it called when you kill someone who was of no harm and no threat to you? It’s murder. What do you call killing hundreds of thousands of people who were of no threat to you? Mass murder. Do you think being full of yourself that God is on your side absolves you from the death of thousands of people whom your decision directly caused??? Do you think God is happy with Bush? Or folks who supported that war? Do you not think murder is sin? Be careful of declaring yourself holy and good and without sin. God judges that. I think folks who imagine they are absolved from the consquences of their decisions will have a rude awakening some day. Some of those ‘liberals’ may be seen as holier than thou, my friend. When you listen to Jesus’ words about helping the sickand the poor and treating other as youwould have them treat you, are you so sure liberals may not be closer to the teaching of Christ? I do not recall Christ saying sex was a sin(adultry yes, sex no) but I DO recall Jesus saying feed the hungry, cloth the poor and help the sick.

Dan your wrong face it. You stated as if you knew/know what others are thinking and thats wrong anyway you look at it. Now as for your Neo Con bit, you can call whatever you like. Obama is just as much of a bozo as Bush. And again I ask you 8 yrs ago Gore was the dem nom and 4 years ago a traitor named Kerry was your nominee, do you think they were strong canidates? Looking back you must admit Kerry could be worse than Mondale. My point is things move fluidly in this day and age and what seems so far away(dems loss in 00 and 04) really isnt so repubs or whoever cant be overlooked at anytime in the future no matter what you say or media says. And again I point out Obama isnt that strong I mean he lost 48% of the vote to an old man who had no biz(like gore or kerry) being the nominee. So i wouldnt get up on a high horse yet.

Palin is exactly what this country needs…. An outsider of Washington DC who actually believes in putting the people she represents first. I wonder how many people think barry O would have sold HIS private jet and/or fired the private chef had he been gov of illinois.
Also, Palin claimed to fight political corruption, and her record proved that she did just that. Barry, on the other hand, has been rolling around with dirty dogs for years but somehow managed to never pick up any fleas? My guess is barry will clean up washington about as much as cleaned up chicago.
The liberals, and especially the liberal media, always claim that every politician with an (R) in front of their name are idiots (bush, palin, regan).
Regan was a “dumb hick” from a small Christian college, just like Palin, according to the liberals. After his first presidential run, this was their regular attack, and look how well that worked. The media can protect blundering idiots like Biden and raging socialist like barry only for so long before the truth comes out.
Palin 2012!

They bankrupted the country have us stuck in two wars yet they still support the American Taliban. I mean GOP.
Why do they hate us.

The Neocons forgot Mickey Mouse!

Well, hold your breath ZakD, 2012 is not what should worry YOU. You should be worried about the upcoming Congressional elections in 2010.
If those “neo-cons” are able to take back the House and Senate in 2010 and given the fact that YOUR party, the “neo-libs” is acting like a group of maniacs right now, I don’t think that’s impossible, it won’t matter who they nominate in 2012. Obama will be reduced to being a figurehead sipping tea with dignitaries for publicity shots. He will not have very much power.

South_Texan : I agree with you.
Obama had already changed one thing to
financial mess trainning center from
a exquisite the White House. Why I’ve thought it? I have worked with a small office of Stock Broker at Wall St. in Manhattan.The stock markets plunged, downed and dropped a big points whenever
President Obama has had a big speech from the Inauguration’s until the speech at last Tuesday.Why ABC reported that Wall St. didn’t WOWS with Obama’s big speech on the Tue. That’s the reason.

Wow, this list is simply pathetic. God has just rejected the Republicans! They are no longer his people.

Can you all hear Mr. Adam Sandler pronounce the word “S-e-x” for “No. Six” which happens to be the WINK WINK lady! Lol!

If you can’t do any better than Sarah Palin, you will loose big time again and you should. We don’t need a cheerleader queen for president. There are a number of qualified women for the office but she is no where near it. Come on guys. Get your head out of the sand and think..

Please, please put either Palin or Jindal on the ticket! Please, please, we want to be guaranteed at least 4 more years for President Obama. My goodness is this the best list of losers that the GOP can come up with? How sad.

Sarah Palin is the front runner? The same Sarah Palin who doesn’t really know what the Vice President does? The same Sarah Palin who thinks a president can change the constitution? The same Sarah Palin who wasn’t aware that Africa is a continent, not a country? Sarah Palin who couldn’t string two coherant sentences together during more than one interview? This is who the republicans what to be their leader?
Seriously? That Sarah Palin? Do you republicans honestly believe she would make it through a debate with other republicans during a primary? Bobby Jindal would make her look like a twit with half a brain and I’m not even a fan of his. You guys really gotta do better than this.

Sarah “I Know Nothing” Palin
and Bobby “I changed My Name because no white racists would ever vote for a guy named Piyush” Jindal in 2012.
You Republicans are just getting crazier by the minute.
Remember Timothy McVeigh. Right winger.
We might need those torture sites Obama.
Maybe Bush was onto something.

just wondering if any if you republicans saw the acorn appropriations in the stimulus package?
your party will be lucky to EVER get to any position above dogcatcher once acorn gets that +/- 3 billion dollars .
good riddance to bad rubbish = the republican party of conniving rich liars

Dave absolutely amazes me. He actually thinks Palin would be a good choice. News flash for you Dave…Palin couldn’t answer even basic questions asked to her. Oh I know what you are going to say “the media was against her” Give us all a break. I hope the Republicans can find someone better.

How about Tim Pelouty?

DM if you honestly believe that Barack Obama doesn’t know there aren’t 58 States then you are really grasping for the slightest thing to make youself feel better. There is a difference between a slip of the tongue and just not knowing in the correct information. Sarah Palin just didn’t know and the people who picked didn’t take the time to teach her the things she should have known to run for the position of Vice President.

Trigg Palin for President 2012 !
the most qualified in the whole frozen family!

Sorry, I meant Pawlenty.

Too late. Palin has already won.
She has connected with large swaths of America like no other candidate ever has. People see right through the media filter directly to her. She represents tens of MILLIONS of hard-working, pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps people, who actually make this country run, and who do NOT need the government to help them out or tell them how to live.
In four years, her success with Alaska and her positive, can-do spirit is going to look pretty gosh darn good next to whatever will be left of ObamaNation.
I agree with Dave. Palin in 2012. It’s practically a given.
I can’t wait until November of 2012, when we see the X-ray of Obama’s a**, with Sarah’s high heel firmly wedged in it.

^———-disconnected w/reality . whoever you are ,please seek professional help ,i am totally serious.
you have a mental condition ,commonly known as overt stupidity ,which is no doubt contributing to your apparent delirium/loss of common sense .
this particularly debilitating mental deficiency is very often seen among republicans , you arent a republican by any chance are you ?

You can laugh and you can yuck it up all you want.
You can get mad, get apoplectic, get ballistic.
You can pretend you’re superior, you can nod in agreement with your elite friends.
You can cry and you can moan. You can whinny, bleat and moo.
But Sarah Palin is our next president.

BloFeld, you are seriously deluded if you think Caribou Barbie should be allowed anywhere NEAR the White House. She is a caricature, a puppet, a true-blue dyed-in-the-wool airhead! She does NOT represent ‘tens of millions’ of Americans. She panders to the lowest base constituency of the Greedy Old Party, most of whom wouldn’t know good policy if it bit them in the arse. Please, please, please, tell me you’re joking…..!

The Republicans are sending out a “HUGE” message to the Democrates with this early poll. They are gearing up now — everyone is tried of the “Death Journalism” or should I say, “Media MalPractice” that got Mr. Obama elected. He “protrays himself as a nonideological, bipartisan voice of rason”. I quess thats in his head.
The media should alway be unbias and give all opinions equally air-time. We must not allow anyone too hijack our “Freedom of Speech”

Now that you mention it she really DOES represent old school republican party core values.

“There is a difference between a slip of the tongue and just not knowing in the correct information. Sarah Palin just didn’t know and the people who picked didn’t take the time to teach her the things she should have known to run for the position of Vice President.”
NDY in NY: Have you ever watched any interviews with Sarah Palin before she was thrust in the limelight for 10 weeks? She’s actually extremely intelligent.
You seem like a smart person. You ought to know that the media can edit, prolong camera shots, and entirely cut out footage they don’t want you to see. This is exactly what happened with Sarah Palin and the “infamous” Katie Couric interview, as well as the “infamous” Charlie Gibson interview. I’d be interested to see the footage on the cutting room floor that WASN’T part of the televised interview.
I’d say she did a pretty good job of handling the press and the publicity, considering she had NO national experience prior to September. Contrast with Joe Biden, who has been in the public spotlight for decades, yet came off – and continues to come off – like the complete dope that he is.
Sorry – I know it upsets you Libs, and I know she gets you angry, and feeling all smug and superior like no other person, but the truth is, she’s won. It’s that simple. All she has to do is campaign and run, and she’s in the White House in 2012.
Sorry….

this blog post shouldve been run as “Republican Dreamin’ ”
talk about a pipe dream…
PLEASE PICK SARAH PALIN AS YOUR NOMINEE!!
that would be just too good to be true for the dnc…it wont be that easy will it?

BlofeldBuildings
As I recall, katie couric also interviewed biden and he was not aware of who was president in 1929 when the depression hit, or that TV’s were not yet invented.
As usual, the media ignored/covered up his remarks, and judging by some of the obamabot posts here today, the media accomplished their goal. The masses are still fooled and the liberal socialists have taken over.
Please hurry up 2012

hillary will crush anyone but obama ,and shes next after his 2nd term.
thats the facts crack smoking republicans, face them now and just MOVE TO HAITI!!

SULA — How dare we think about who will run in 2012? That’s your question? Are we not supposed to think about it? Obama started thinking about running for president well over four years before actually starting his campaign – he campaigned for at least two years. Of course people are positioning for 2012 – both republicans and democrats — and yes there are democrats who are not Obama fans who are also probably eying a 2012 primary run against Obama while others are even thinking further down the road — 2018. That’s the way it works! Why should that change?

In one especially hallucinatory answer, Biden authoritatively stated: “We spend more money in three weeks on combat in Iraq than we spent on the entirety of the last seven years that we have been in Afghanistan building that country.”
According to the Congressional Research Service, since 9/11, we’ve spent $172 billion in Afghanistan and $653 billion in Iraq. The most money spent in Iraq came in 2008, when we have been spending less than $3 billion a week. So by Biden’s calculations, we’ve spent only about $9 billion “on the entirety of the last seven years that we have been in Afghanistan building that country.” There isn’t even a “9” in $172 billion.
Somebody please tell me that Biden wasn’t picked for the Democrat ticket based on his knowledge of math.”

Dave,
I thought we were discussing Sarah Palin. Why is it that instead of addressing the things I said about her you decide to point out what someone else has done. This conversation is about the potential front runner of the “republican” primary. I find it funny that instead you choose to highlight what Joe Biden said and did. How about you compare her to Charlie Crist or Mike Huckabee as they will be her initial obstacles should she decide to run for president. I stand by my argument, she will not stand up in comparison to any of the other republicans I have mentioned, they are more informed and knowledgable than she is and they will show up her limitations.

Maybe the faces and names will change over the next four years. Public opinion will most certainly change, maybe several times between now and then. It would be refreshing to have some viable candidate arise from either party. In 2008 we once again had to choose between two evils and naturally we got evil for our leader. We’ve headed down a one way street as I see it. There is no turning back from more and more government entitlement programs, button popping budgets and the exorbitant national debt this administration is leading us toward. Who knows, there may be a revolution and a new start before 2012.

Wouldn’t it be simpler if the South just seceded again. The north sees the south as backward thinking bumpkins and the south sees the north as a bunch of spineless, greedy, self centered elitist know-it-alls who can’t manage money or government. It’s obvious we can’t get along. So why should we southerners spend any more time and effort trying to rescue you brilliant Yankees from the hell your big city people and Wall Street financial geniuses have made for all of us? By the way, you can keep Obama and all his Chicago trash cabinet.

I reserve my judgement about whether Governor Sarah Palin would make the best GOP nominee for PONTUS in 2012. However, I have been puzzled by the notion, held by many, that she appeals only to a narrow right-wing base of the GOP and to religious conservatives. I find this difficult to reconcile with the fact that she was elected Governor and retains high approval (63% according to Daily Kos) in a State that has a disproportionate number of independent/unaffiliated voters. Even more surprising is that she prevailed in a State that is the fifth least religious in the US. Alaska is about as far as can be from being a ‘bible belt’ State. Surprising too, is the fact that this alleged ‘fundamentalist’, who according to one of the posts here, received a ‘blessing against witchcraft’ nonetheless, vetoed an attempt by the legislature to rescind marraige-like benefits from same-sex couples in the Alaskan State employ. A close study of her actual record as Governor belies the myth has she lacks intelligence. Far from it. These conclusions are borne out by poll after poll in Alaska. The latest for the Ankorage area (reputedly the most liberal/democrat area in Alaska) give her a 55% approval rating, including a 29% approval rating from Democrats. As I say I will reserve judgement, but I will be wary of reying on the MSM to inform my opinions on Governor Palin.

Palin is so silly and irrelevant, why the obsession with her on the left?
-
Clearly, the Left noted her appeal, and are out to eliminate the threat- Her treatment last fall was pure character assasination- the MSM’s “reporting” was specious, cruel, and tacky.
-
And the double-standard sexism is appalling; she’s “dumb” because she’s a happy and attractive Christian, who enjoys being a mother? Real feminists need to be angry, wear combat boots, no make-up, short hair, and live alone in a studio apartment in the East Village? She’s not the right kind of example because she doesn’t support affirmative action… but instead went out there and just kicked butt?-
Democrats are plenty afraid of Palin coming-back at them in 2012 with a dynamic and complementary VP like Bobby Jindal… or visa versa. That is obvious by what they’ve done, and continue to do, to the public image of her intelligence, principles, character, and accomplishments… all of which compare more than favorably to “44″.
-
But, they are right about one thing… they have good reason to fear Sarah Palin.

Campaigning for 2012 already? Let me get the Christmas tree put back up! (groan)

Interesting comments… some show the limited education of that conservative right-wing fringe, and others show the unrealistic hopes of the liberal left.
To the guy that wants Texas to seceed from the Union. I say let them go. So far we have had two presidents from Texas and both of them screwed this country in their own special way. I am all for NO MORE PRESIDENTS FROM TEXAS. I am worn out with the need of Texans to kill people using other people’s kids.
Now I say that and yet I have a lot of respect for Paul. He does seem sincere. If we had to have another Texan as President he is the most tolerable. I am not sure his plan to shut down the government by cutting all spending is a smart move.
The biggest problem with the Republican Party is that is not all that difficult to catch them lying.
Jindal said that the government is not qualified to manage health care, therefore he must believe that large insurance companies have been doing a great job because these corporations are managing health care in our country. From what I see they have really wrecked it. I really don’t think the government can do any worse. My dad got good health care from the VA. None of the Republican front runners will address the brutal unfairness of these insurance companies. That’s a real problem for me. They look like whores for the Insurance Industry.
The Republicans say the federal government buying cars from GM, Ford, and Chrysler is wasteful spending therefore they must believe that just giving them money is better. At least if the government bought the cars they would be getting something for the money.
Jindal says the government should never get between a patient and his or her doctor, okay, then that should end the Pro-Life argument, shouldn’t it? I can agree that the government has no business getting inbetween a doctor and his patient at all.
Palin is inept, she was a desperate stunt to bring women to the Republican cause and only the stupid ones fell for it.
I can appreciate the need of the Republican Party to prove that they are there for more than greedy fat old white guys but Jeez get somebody that has something going on between their ears. My fear with Palin getting in is that she would be more of a puppet than Bush was. The comedians will love it though.
I guess Jindal is somewhat credible, he’s darker than Obama and Asian so in the mind of the narrowminded and shortsighted I guess he could be something of a contender. I can’t wait for see how the installment health care plan works in Louisiana. I can respect him refusing stimulist funds for infrastructure improvements because of his ideology, I’m sure NY and California will best benefit from his decision. Great sacrifice but he’s screwing his state. You got to ask yourself how badly would he screw all of us? Its common knowledge that being screwed by the governmor of Louisiana is part of their culture. Folks from Louisiana wouldn’t know what to do with an intelligent and honest public official.
I have been to Louisiana. This is state that takes pride in levees built by slave labor. (didn’t they fail?) Bridges built by “The Kingfish” (WOW no new infrastructure since the 1930s). People living in shacks by the bayous (it’s still waterside property right?).
Responsible conservatives, the ones that can think for themselves instead of being told what to think and what to believe in need to jettison that lunatic right-wing fringe. The Germans didn’t and they bare the stain of Nazi rule.

I’m a little annoyed at the mental midgets that insist on smearing Palin. Is it because she is a woman, or is it that she is only one that ran last time that WAS NOT a Washington Insider and thereby member of our typical corrupt pool of losers.

Oh wait, I know….it is because she actually knew while so many libs don’t and still don’t know that yu can REALLY see parts of Russia from parts of Alaska.

DobermanSpencer; Good luck finding that Christmas tree. The Dems have confiscated it and called it a stimulus package but we all know it was a fully decorated tree full of gratuities for Obama’s election supporters.

Brodie: What about all the democrats in congress who only vote the way they were told to vote? The ones who only vote according to their party lines and don’t have the backbone to fight for what they know is right? They were voted in office by the people and they are supposed to represent the people but the only one that they represent is the president!

If conservatism means calling the pres a communist and non citizen and following an addled, obese idiot like Rush Limbaugh, then we are in for a 10 year reign of dems. Of course it may take that long to recover from the past 6 years.

Republicans have no chance in 2012 if they pick a conservative. This country is pretty stupid, but it’s not stupid enough anymore to elect an anti-abortion conservative.

JimOnTheRight: I am a republican but I think you are right about McCain. I voted for him but it seemed to me that he ran a half-hearted campaign. He ran for the presidency but it seemed to me that he didn’t want it badly enough to fight for it. He refused to use every weapon in his arsonal to win. He also should have been well read up on government policies and been prepared for battle and should have came out fighting in the debates. He should have stated exactly what his platform was in detail, too, but he didn’t. Instead he just talked about his platform in general with no details and seemed like a weak and sick old man!

As was so aptly stated in an editorial blog in the New York Post “The Party of Ideas has become the Party of Beavis and Butthead”

The only person on the list worth even consideration is Charlie Christ. Truly a good man who puts the people’s interests first.

Really, these types of articles are designed to fire up the base Republicans. With all the challenges and work ahead for all of us in the next few years, you continue to deluge the news site with nonsense. Please do not encourage assinine non-news: Who cares which phony is scrambling and posturing for power? We have real needs and issues to address.

DM wrote: “What about all the democrats in congress who only vote the way they were told to vote? The ones who only vote according to their party lines and don’t have the backbone to fight for what they know is right?”
Riiiight, and the republicans NEVER vote in lock-step with their party! I guess when you say ‘don’t have the backbone to fight for what they know is right’, what you mean is that they are voting against how YOU would vote. This is so typical of the Greedy Old Party philosophy: our way is the only true and correct way, and everyone who disagrees with us is against ‘doing the right thing’. Most of them seem pathologically incapable of empathy and unable or unwilling to look at all sides of an issue. Everything is cut and dried, black or white – they are the most intolerant people in the country……..

Considering the list, and the content of the speeches, it’s apparent the the republican party is heading for another loss in 2012. The same old tired talking points. The same policies that destroyed our economy. The Republican party is not yet caught up with the realities of today. Rather than open their eyes, they’re choosing to fade into yesterday.
The future is bright for the Democratic party.

Listen, here is the line-up. Palin-the state tax cheater….Romney….the extreme Mormon and Billionaire…Huckabee..the Bible quoting, jokester,….Jindal the “muslim,right, no Arab” puppet with a broke down State. Sanford…the “Racist”…Palwenthy (spell) you know the guy from MN…..stupid, sourpuss. Just run Limbraug………..and better yet, Joe the Plumber, you remember the illiterate guy that speaks like Palin

NDK in NY wrote: I’m still waiting for a republican on this board to tell me honestly if they think Sarah Palin can hold her own in a primary against some of the more educated republicans that will be running for president?
NDK, you’re right on. Do any of the Republicans posting here today really think that the male Republicans like Romney, Cantor or Sanford would be willing to step aside and let Sarah Palin be nominated as their Republican nominee?? They will kick her to the curb, throw her under the bus and whatever else you can come up with to make sure they get a chance at becoming president. Palin stands less of a chance with her own party during a 2012 primary than she does against Obama. Those Republicans know she is a true lightweight and really only appeals to the ultra conservative base which isn’t enough to win. All the other potential Republican contenders will knock Palin down and step right over her to get their faces in front of a camera to plead their case. She thinks the Democrats are mean spirited? Sarah, just wait until your “buddies” have a go at you.

All of you obamabot lemmings are nothing more than blind followers. You do No research on your own and take what the anti-American, liberal media says to you as factual. The basic messag is -Barry O good, Bush bad!
What do any of you cliff divers think the mainstream media would have discovered if 200 reporters had descended on Chicago instead of anchorage, to go through barry’s laundry?
Barry rolled around wuth pigs for years (rezko, ayers, wright, rashid khalidi)in the most politically corrupt city in America, yet somehow he never got dirty?
Wake up people!

Conservatism has failed. When are Republicans going to wake up and stop clinging to their failed ideology?

PresGov – pipe down, moron. Acting like an angry loudmouth fool isn’t going to win you Republicans any friends these days.
Decent Americans are sick of you knuckleheaded dopes telling the rest of us what to do. You had your shot and you failed miserably. The rest us simply don’t want to hear you crap anymore.
Sit down, shut up, and comtemplate your shame, disgrace and failute quietly while the rest of us clean up your god damn messes.
Fool!

PresGov: “We won’t be able to afford to hold out till 2012. Impeach Obama now.”
If Bushie Wushie didn’t get impeached for the crap he did, what makes you think Obama should be impeached?

Dave, Dave, Dave. You never give up trying to win over us obamabot lemmings do you? Now you’re bringing up how nobody looked at Obama with the same microscope they looked at Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin was under the lights for how long? A few months. How long was Obama under the microscope? How many distorted stories and lies came out about him — plenty. By the way, he won the election.

Astin Martin
Other then the story of barry being a muslim….which really wasn’t a big stretch given that… barry’s father was muslim, he attended a muslim school (among other religous,expensive private institutions), and in an interview he said “my muslim faith” and he was finally corrected by the CNN. interviewer…..what else was distorted?
He palled around with terrorists and went to an anti-white, anti-capitalist, and anti-American church for 20 years.
What exactly was distorted?
The mainstream media treating the ridiculous idea of Sarah Palin’s baby not really being her own, as a legitimate news story, was distortion.
Barry hung out in ayers’ living room and sat in rev racist’s church for 20 years.
I repeat, the stock market is as excited about barry’s presidency as the rest of us pro-America, anti-socialists are.

Astin Martin: IF Obama was ever under a microscope it was a very weak one and certainly NOT the same one that Sarah Palin was (and still is) under! Her every move is watched and criticized!

Will Sarah Palin parade her Jerry Springer wannabe family once again on stage? By then another “just say yes” daughter should be pregnant.She should have Levis drugee mother as her campaign manager! You betcha!

Republican Party
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
you people turn into more of a joke everyday.

JR: In a year or two the joke will be on you and we’ll be laughing at you!

DM and Dave: Too bad a plurality of Americans know it’s all hogwash, which is why Obama is president.

Astin
Barry is the president because McCain was handpicked by the media and he was a ridiculously weak canidate. Barry had the media endorsemnt and protection, while McCain was relentlessy targeted.
Please imagine what would have happened if the NRA had signed up mickey mouse to vote, or mccain had his “political coming out party” at an abortion bomber’s house.

I reckon the Republicans have nothing better to do than to sit around and draw straws to see who is going to run in the next election. Like we are going to vote for another republican……… yea when hell freezes over!!

Pick Palin – no end of embarrassing amusement.

Pray the people of this country have enough sense to put a conservative back in in 2012. I’m not too sure there is enough intelligence left to do so, and if not, this was a nice country while it lasted.

Oh please. The 8 years and our present situation were great? Conservative ideology of deregulation and tax cuts (to the rich)- trickle UP economics lead us into this mess. We may be a nation of whiners, but the majority is not a nation of idiots.

Listen up all of you socialists, here is a quick history less MLK was a republican. Democrats didn’t get the black vote until the whole free your mind crap of the 60′s hit. Welfare was shoved down blacks throats and ever since then, their quality of life relative to whites has greatly diminished and democratic control of gov’t grew. The slave trade was built by the democrats, and almost all of the segreationist/KKK members running around were democrats (wallace, bryrd).
