sarah palin

I want to ask you who support Palin, if she can't take the heat from the media as a Governor what makes you think she can take it as President, she critisized Hilary but couldn't take the heat when she it turn was critisized, will she quit halfway through as our President, then what? I wonder why people can't have common decency not to use such hate and rhetoric, you can get your point across without doing so.As a senior if I was so against a public option I would give up my medicare to support my statement, who do they think runs Medicare

liberals

IT's almost funny, the liberals are scared the death of Sarah Palin !!! And getting the liberal news groups to go after hard.

YEP!! scared to death!!

Why settle for less?

Why settle for the lesser evil? So what if the GOP gets split and the liberals ruin things faster? A quick death for America means a rebirth sooner rather than later.

Third Party 2012

I love Huckabee, but I've always thought he was naive when it comes to partisanship. He's being shortsighted when he says that a third party ensures that you will get the person you wanted the least. If we're going to rebuild this country, we have to tear down the rotten structures that are in the way, and the Republican party is every bit as rotten as the Democratic party. Let the Democrats run wild for a while, while the concerned citizens of this country build a party of leaders who have integrity and morals. Once the third party is born, it will be unstoppable.

And BTW, Sarah Palin is a red herring.

Go Sarah!

Make your third party. Split the conservatives. Chances are God actually wants you to do this so we can elect sensible and compassionate liberals.

Gp third parties!

Third parties are the way of the future and the way Washington wanted it. Washington hated political parties. By the way Huck, didn't the dem I mean Republican get and endorsement which she accepted from ACORN? Sorry dude all these flunkets are out of here.

Fine, then give us real conservatives

If Huck wants us to stay with the GOP, then the establishment is going to have to go the way of the dinosaur. The youthful, energetic future of the party wants to End the federal reserve, maintain our sovereignty, end the wars on drugs and terror, and secure our own borders (a real solution to terrorism).

The more the power brokers in DC try to play kingmaker in the primaries, the more disenchanted our conservative movement will become.

Third party

The results showed Huckabee to be correct as usual. Now Limbaugh, Palin, and their followers can spin the loss to their hearts' content, but it won't change the outcome.

Palin was correct in 23rd district

She supported the right candidate early on as did Pawlenty. So who are the visionaries? Huh?

Dede Scussball was a closet gay democrat and didn't fool Sarah like she did Huck and Newt.

In many respects the Conservative Party won when you factor in Scuzzy's name was on the ballot twice plus the absentee ballots had been submitted when she tucked and ran. 5% more votes to Hoffman and the results would have been different. Obama's dirty machine politics barely eked out a victory here.
