Palin would be a perfectly adequate President. Democrats will probably underestimate her like they did Bush. What's so bad about a Pres that could hunt Bin Laden down from a chopper.

Look, even I admit that I had been a little harsh criticizing Palin during the election. This coming from a former McCain supporter (2000). She did a decent job in Alaska, but she shouldn't be let anywhere near the White House. Many moderates like myself share this view, and it is part of what sunk McCain this time around.
The Republican leadership (or lack thereof) just doesn't seem to 'get it'. They damn near had free reign of the executive and congress without too much flak coming from SCOTUS for many years. They enacted policies that really boned a lot of Americans, all in their blind trust in the free market and anything-goes philosophy when it comes to dealing with terrorism. They didn't even do anything to mitigate the damage that they so conveniently blame Clinton for doing during his tenure as POTUS. They have not recognized their own failings, much less propose new solutions for them. Until we see something new from the party, their presidential aspirations are sunk before they even begin.
Palin 2012? I don't think so.

Ohh, you mean she represents hypocrites, ignorant fools, corrupt idiots, and intellectually/morally bankrupt people. Wow, what a great direction for the country.

The poll shows more than Republican support. It also shows that independents and Dems reject her. It doesn't matter how many Reps vote for her, the rest of the country won't
You mean promoting bigotry, racism, narrow-minded viewpoints, "TERROR TERROR TERROR" (Let me take away your rights to protect you from nothing), and "It's everybody else's fault I left the governorship" to the teen-pregnancy hypocrisy.

Okay, then don't you feel Palin looks weak in walking away from her governorship and hypocritical in her stance on Hillary Clinton complaining about being treated too harshly?

Andrew Sullivan has been keeping a running diary about all the lies sarah palin has told, it's quite a doozy:
http://andrewsullivan.theatlan...h-palin-a-roundup.html
more recently, she lied about the 'millions of dollars' in ethics complaints (nowhere even near that, not even 1 million... in fact just a small fraction of that, $296,000 to be exact) and most of the legal expenses are related to the troopergate inquiry that SHE initiated herself.
I can see why spidey loves palin, she's a lying sack of shit divorced from reality. I wonder how she feels about TWC

Palin is not qualified to be president.
With that said, you think independents like me will vote for a path of destruction (namely a 2nd term for Obama)? Think again. Americans are seeing through your party's bullsh!t policies and driving us further into the US national debt blackhole.
If anything I would like to vote for a 3rd party next time around.
Obama = Carter.
Why don't you start a thread about the lies and deceptions your Messiah has told the American public?
I'll start with your Messiah's "stimulus"
Without the Messiah's stimulus we're screwed!

Since you're so opinionated on political topics, why don't you come spew your vitriol in the Obama detention thread? Oh, I get it, you only post when someone on the right does something you disagree with. When one of your lefty heroes does something that you can't defend, you're quiet as a mouse. :roll:
C'mon Phokus, tell us about how you really feel about your Messiah's flip flop on holding people without probable cause :roll:. When Bush does it it's bad, when Obamessiah does it it's okay! Partisan hack.

See how that works?
It is too hard for him to understand. It's why they lost and why we are in the situation we are in right now.

If I were anywhere near the prolific poster that Phokus is, then you might have a valid point. Seeing as I don't go out of my way to bash the left on a daily basis, then your attempted defense of the indefensible means nothing. As for Sanford, I agree with alphatarget1: he's a douche.
