Palin in the Oval Office in '12?????

And that is YOUR opinion! See, everybody's got one. :smilewinkgrin:

 

YOu asked...

 

I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED; to borrow a line from the movie, Casablanca!:smilewinkgrin::tongue3:

 

Heh tinytim! that was great!:applause::applause::applause:

 

==She had an obligation to the people of Alaska and she walked away from it to fulfill personal desires. That is certainly not the kind of person we need in the White House. She has her eyes on power, we need less power hungry people in Washington. So I'm glad she resigned. Maybe now she will realize how imaginary her dreams of power are. Her resignation proves what I have said about Palin, she is a fake. While all politicians are fake to some degree, Palin's kind are the worst because their pandering is so very obvious. In this sense she is no different than President Obama who has never seen a person he can't pander to. She never had a chance at the White House in 2012 and she has even less of a chance now.

If the Republicans want to have a ghost of a chance of winning the White House in 2012, 2016, or any future election, they are going to have to get serious. Candidates like Palin are not serious and can't win national elections. The Democrats did the same type playing around with Howard Dean. To win a national election a party has to get a serious candidate. Palin is not that candidate.

 

And you came to know about her intentions how?

 

This is spot-on. :thumbs:

I think the Democratic party is really creating an opening for the GOP to make a comeback. Do I think the comeback is inevitable? No way. I think the GOP is going to have to find a clear leader to lead them into the future (i.e. not some blast-from-the-past like Newt Gingrich).

Moreover, the GOP needs to recognize the changing landscape of the country. This isn't the US of the Reagan Revolution. Younger generations are not nearly as conservative as the GOP. This is not to say that the average young person is a raging liberal (though many young people are), but it is certain that Gen Y and its successors do not think "liberal" is a dirty word.

What the GOP needs to avoid is the perception that it is the party of homophobic, greedy warmongers. Now, do I think that this is a fair description? No. However, the GOP has not provided a solid rebuttal to this perception. It needs to do so, for if it does not, it will most likely continue to decline.

 

Agreed! If running a state as insignificant as Alaska, which her resigning before completing the job indicates, she would never be able to govern the U.S.

 

I see the Democrats tiny little talking points have made it on the board.

 

They are only small (in your eyes) because you cannot refute them.

 

I am starting to wonder if you are KenH.

 

==By watching her actions. A person's actions tells the whole story. She has abandoned her responsibilities in Alaska to persue her personal political goals. That is not the kind of person we need in the White House.

 

I've wondered if you were Old Regular or not myself.

 

Mitch might be a lot of things but I've never confused him with Old Regular.

 

OR would not want to be me I am a Pre-mill.

 

Nope. OR is Mitch's sidekick. :laugh:

 

If there is only one person in politics who is genuine it is Sarah Palin. That is why the leftists/Marxists hate her so much. They cannot conceive of a female politician who is not a leftist baby killer [like The Queen B Pelosi].

I don't know why Sarah Palin resigned, neither do you.

 

Well from my viewpoint he could not have made a better choice, not that I am biased. BTW no space between the words Old and Regular please. There is another on the Forum and I don't want him mistaken for me.
