Discussion: The REPUBLICAN Party IV

[redfirebird2008]

As long as Tina Fey is around to make fun of her on SNL, Palin will never get elected.

 

[Marx]

Sarah Palin is not electable. (At least not when it comes to the presidency.)

 

[SentinelMind]

Scott Conroy, a national political reporter for RealClearPolitics, has seen the film which he's calling "Palin's Secret Weapon" because it's to "help catapult Palin from the presidential afterthought she has become in the eyes of many pundits directly to the front lines of the 2012 GOP conversation". Interestingly, it features a clip sequence showing celebs like Rosie O'Donnell, Matt Damon, Bill Maher, David Letterman, and Howard Stern slamming Palin. It also features images of lions killing a zebra and a dead medieval soldier with an arrow sticking in his back to dramatize the Palin-haters. Two versions of the film reportedly will be released: an unrated edition will contain some obscene anti-Palin language and imagery, while the other is targeted to a general audience and will seek a PG-13 MPAA rating.

Wow, this video looks mildly exciting.

Why would she bother with this if she is not running? Palin is a narcissist, look how she obsesses over her critics like Katie Couric...or even spars with Bill O Reilly. She has an inferiority complex to defend and I think she'll run just to "prove the haters" she's still relevant. Career wise she has nothing to lose, she loves the battle...she wanted to go where John McCain had the decency not to go.

 

[DACrowe]

Oh, I hope she uses the term blood libel again!

Was she attacked in the press? Yes. But so are all candidates who run for the WH (or VP) and she is just so thin skinned. She still rights snide tweets about Katie Couric or mumbles under her breath "newspapers" on Fox News. They don't make fun of her because she is a woman with "conservative values." They make fun of her because like Trump her running would be hilarious.

And the fact that she's a moron when it comes to anything substantive.

 

[StorminNorman]

That didn't burden Barry O.

 

[Marx]

Wow Norm...really? Barack Obama is a moron? That sounds more like incredibly partisan politics than fact.

 

[StorminNorman]

I have no problem saying that about most Republicans either.

[StorminNorman]

Nothing would destroy his Tea Party support faster than the scrutiny of a Presidential campaign.

 

[Marx]

...supposedly, one of Perry's top aides is denying the report of a presidential run.

And give up his control as Governor of Texas? He could have that job for life if he wanted to. However, if he decides to run and resigns in order to do so, the possible front runner to fill his job in Austin is Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott.

CNN Polls - Ron Paul in 2nd and 3rd


Front on Drudge Report: Ron Paul places second in NH...

LAKE JACKSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the 2012 GOP Presidential field begins to take shape, recent polling shows Congressman Ron Paul emerging a top-tier candidate and a credible threat to unseat assumed front runner Mitt Romney.

A recent number of polls on the race for the Republican presidential nomination have consistently shown Dr. Paul surging and in many cases running a clear second.

In the latest Gallup poll from May 26, 2011, Ron Paul comes in second, ahead of all other declared candidates for the Republican presidential nomination. In New Hampshire's most recent UNH Survey Center poll, Paul again scores second place ahead of all others officially in the race. And once again in the most recent CNN poll, Congressman Paul ties for second place versus all other announced candidates...

Governor of Texas is not the real power in the Texas Government....it is the Attorney General.

People said the same thing about Bush....and well, he became President.

SENATOR MCCAIN: SARAH PALIN CAN BEAT PRESIDENT OBAMA

It was the same thing in 2008. Paul always places highly in polls and straw polls, except the only poll that matters, the one on election day.

 

[Kelly]

How would we know about election day, he has never made it that far...

As long as there are "caucasus" he will never do well.....those are for the "elitists" to harass people into voting the way they want...it is NOT a vote that is their own.

Until EVERY STATE, ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE DO PRIMARIES ONLY, we will never have a true campaign season. EVER...

 

[hippie_hunter]

Caucuses are also really good for grassroots campaigns. Without the caucuses, the grassroots campaign for Barack Obama would have never taken off.

 

[Kelly]

IMO, when everyone does not have a chance to vote, then there is no need for it. IMO, if you are someone without a job, someone in college, that doesn't have a job, someone that can stay up until 3 and 4 a.m. because you don't have to go to a job the next day....then a caucaus is not something you can participate in...

A primary you have from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to go in and vote. Just like you can in the regular Presidential campaign.

IMO, one discriminates and the other doesn't....I'm discriminated against in caucus states because I can't do the above. I actually have a job.
