Good choice, I hope Romney gets the nod for 2012.
Sarah Palin is a joke and has been exposed for being a know-nothing bubble-headed moose hunting soccer mom and I've always found JTF's, and particularly Chiam's, unwavering support of her both during the campaign, but particularly for 2012, laughable. She was clearly a bad choice from the beginning and later turned into an embarrassment for the whole Repugnican party and in the end unfortunately helped Obama sweep his way to victory.
Our next president needs to be a strict Constitutionalist who can kick out the illegals, militarize the borders and shrink the size of the federal government so we can cut taxes and get back to business in this country. We need to become productive in every way now and in the future so we can dig ourselves out of this massive private and public debt that's developed particularly during the Bush years.
Though I appreciate your contribution, we certainly disagree regarding Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin.
Mitt Romney had a number of Leftist positions when he ran for a Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat in the mid 1990's. Yet, in the 2008 primary season, he positioned himself as a Conservative. I don't trust him. I'm far from convinced his genuine. If Romney gets the Republican Nomination for President in 2012, I plan on voting for him against Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary " Saddam " Clinton, or whoever emerges as the Democrat Nominee. Yet, it will be basically a vote against the Democrats, unless Romney makes a very good choice for running mate.
Sarah Palin helped the McCain ticket much more than she hurt the ticket. It was John McCain and his campaign staff that prevented Gov. Palin from being aggressive on the campaign trail. McCain's strategy of being politically correct played right in the hands of the Obama campaign. McCain refused to bring up Rev. Wright and the vast majority of Obama's hideous associations. McCain publicly withdrew from Michigan, weeks before Nov. 4. Basically telegraphing to the Obama campaign and the world what his campaign strategy was. With the media totally in Obama's corner, nothing short of bring the truth out about Obama was going to win McCain this election. Especially because of the financial crisis that most associated with the Republicans ( G.W. Bush ) and Obama having much more campaign funds available. If not for Sarah Palin, McCain would have lost this election by double digits.
Despite the picture the media and other leftists attempt to project about Sarah Palin ( that she's not bright ), the opposite is true. The media and the left in general are going to attack whoever represents the Republican party. Look what they did to Bobby Jindal a few days ago. For the Republicans to win the 2012 election, someone with true conservative values, who is willing to go on the offensive, is needed at the top of the ticket. Of the candidates who have a realistic chance at winning the Republican Nomination, Sarah Palin not only represents the best chance for the Republicans to win back the White House. Gov. Palin offers the best hope for the United States to reverse a substantial amount of the damage that liberalism has caused.
