i know romney is a tool, im just saying he's the most rational of the three choices.
gingrich & palin have been saying too many extreme thing that will come back to bite them, while romney has steered clear of national pollicts and is relatively clean

i think though the repulicans need to go with guys like joe miller or the texas governor rick perry who have either a good grasp on the issues or have a commanding yet not extreme presence

"Some good signs for Palin PPP's newest batch of 2012 Republican primary polls conducted right before last week's election finds Mitt Romney ahead in the critical early state of Florida, Tim Pawlenty surprisingly weak in his home state of Minnesota, and Sarah Palin posting leads in Texas, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Maine. The most important state to the nomination process on this list is Florida and there Romney's ahead with 28% to 22% for Palin and 15% for Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee."

I heard her new reality show starts soon too. Still, I have trouble believing people would actually nominate someone who quit halfway through their term as governor.

11/12/2010 3:01:55 AM

for fucks sake, can we not get a new group of fuckheads willing to sell their souls to be president? Can Romney, Palin, and Huckabee (and to some extent, Newt) just fucking go away? Can our nation really not do any better than to recycle these hacks?

11/12/2010 6:38:51 AM

If Palin loses the nomination, and gets tacked on as the vice president to a moderate, it might be a very popular ticket.

11/16/2010 10:38:59 PM

And another challenger takes the field:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/11/28/goper-considering-an-obama-challenge/

Quote :

"(CNN) – Another Republican has voiced interest in challenging President Obama for the White House in 2012. John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said Sunday he's "considering" a run. "Yes, I am considering it," Bolton told conservative radio show host Aaron Klein's on WABC in New York. ""

Good to know that the GOP aren't straying from Fox for their 2012 line up.

Quote :

"Bolton, who serves as a Fox News commentator, said he's concerned that the national discourse does not include talk of foreign policy."

Oh, this guy


Not that wiki is the best source for anything, but its more than enough to highlight his misinformation attempts and war mongering.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_R._Bolton#Criticism

Quote :

"According to former coworkers, Bolton withheld information that ran counter to his goals from Secretary of State Colin Powell on multiple occasions, and from Powell's successor Condoleezza Rice on at least one occasion"

Quote :

"In 2002, Bolton accused Cuba of transfers of biological weapons technology to rogue states and called on it "to fully comply with all of its obligations under the Biological Weapons Convention."[39] According to a Scripps Howard News Service article, Bolton "wanted to say that Cuba had a biological weapons capacity and that it was exporting it to other nations. The intelligence analysts seemed to want to limit the assessment to a declaration that Cuba 'could' develop such weapons."[40] According to AlterNet, a progressive/liberal activist news service, Bolton attempted to have the chief bioweapons analyst in the State Department's bureau of intelligence and research and the CIA's national intelligence officer for Latin America reassigned. Under oath at his Senate hearings for confirmation as Ambassador, he denied trying to have the men fired, but seven intelligence officials contradicted him.[28]"

Quote :

"Bolton is alleged by Democratic Congressman Henry Waxman to have played a role in encouraging the inclusion of statement that British Intelligence had determined Iraq attempted to procure yellowcake uranium from Niger in Bush's 2003 State of the Union Address.[41]"

Quote :

"Bolton claimed that Iran and Syria were threatening the world with weapons of mass destruction"

Quote :

"Bolton stated in June 2004 congressional testimony Iran was lying about enriched uranium contamination: "Another unmistakable indicator of Iran's intentions is the pattern of repeatedly lying to ... the IAEA, ... when evidence of uranium enriched to 36 percent was found, it attributed this to contamination from imported centrifuge parts." However, later isotope analysis supported Iran’s explanation of foreign contamination for most of the observed enriched uranium.[43] "

Quote :

"On May 28, 2008, the British activist George Monbiot attempted to make a citizen's arrest of Bolton, for his role as an architect of the Iraq War "

This guy, on the viability scale, is to the GOP about somewhere between Gravel and Kucinich were for the Dems in 08. But running against Palin, them aren't bad odds.

11/28/2010 9:18:05 PM

I'd vote for Bolton over any of the GOP's current front-runners.

That said, I would not vote for Bolton in a national election... but he at least seems better than the clowns currently running that party.

I agree with Sarah Palin, we shouldn't overreact to the Chinese advances in green energy, just like we didn't overreact to when the USSR launched Sputnik.

I mean, we didn't do anything that time, and just sat back sippin our sodas while the USSR poured resources into their space program and went bankrupt. I love history, and I love how well Sarah Palin knows it. She is a wonderful teacher.

haha, just imagine if we had tried to, I don't know... outdo the USSR's accomplishment with Sputnik. That couldn't have turned out well. We should also apply this logic today, and just watch as China innovates itself out of oil. Certainly that will worsen China's debt problem. The oh-so-bad Chinese debt problem.

"Palin, who? Bachmann steps it up and slips up as 2012 decision nears"
http://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/03/14/michele.bachmann/index.html

Quote :

"Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann is stepping up as yet another favorite daughter of the conservative movement. She is also looking more and more like a presidential candidate, most recently in her whirlwind swing through the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire. A source tells CNN that the Republican lawmaker is increasingly close to actually announcing a presidential bid. "It's a momentous decision," she told CNN. "And it's one that I don't take lightly. It will impact the life of our family forever, and mine as well. And so I need to have an inner assurance that this is the right venue for me and the right opportunity at this time to serve the country." Any Republican vying for the nomination will certainly need to serve up plenty of rhetorical red meat against President Obama to hungry conservatives who are active in the primary voting process. Bachmann has been doing that for a while. In recent television appearances, political activities and speaking engagements, Bachmann has matched Palin's slams against the president. It appears it's helped her garner her share of affection from conservative activists. But it remains to be seen whether embarrassing and highly publicized gaffes will affect her presidential chances. On Saturday, the Minnesota Republican was in full swing in New Hampshire: speaking at a high school academy in Manchester, headlining a fundraiser in Nashua for the state GOP, and capping her day at a Tea Party-type event in Barrington. On Friday night, Bachmann attended a fundraiser at a private home. But her weekend rollout was not without incident. At the Nashua fundraiser, protesters crashed the carefully choreographed event. And at the earlier engagement in Manchester, Bachmann said of New Hampshire, "You're the state where the shot was heard around the world at Lexington and Concord." The battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775 were fought in Massachusetts, not New Hampshire. In the YouTube era, embarrassing moments like those can be replayed over and over with potentially damaging effect -- especially given other gaffes from Bachmann. She recently raised eyebrows with her comments on the nation's founding fathers and slavery. And she was mocked for appearing to look off camera during her post-State of the Union Tea Party response."

Quote :

""It makes me so gosh darn angry," Palin explained. "The liberal left in this country has targeted Christian holidays and is trying to secularize them right out of existence. "When Jesus celebrated Easter with his disciples there were no Easter bunnies or egg hunts. There were no Easter sales at department stores or parades in the street. Easter was a special time of prayer and Christian activism. "Jesus would gather all the townspeople around and would listen to their stories about the meaning of Easter in their lives. Then he would teach them how to love one another, how to protest Roman abortion clinics and how to properly convert homosexuals. "You can't even do things like that these days without getting called out by some wacko left-wing human rights group. Christians had more freedom under Roman rule than we do now in our own country! We need to return Easter back to the way it was when Jesus was alive.""
