If the Republicans are smart they will nominate Romney, and have him run with a Condi Rice or someone of that ilk. I've had lifelong conservatives tell me that they would never vote for Palin. I suppose anything is possible. David Gergen recetly said that the only way Palin could beat Obama is if unemployment goes to 14-15%, and it doesn't look like that will happen. Are conservatives so desperate to regain the WH that they would nominate someone as ill-prepared as Palin. Obama may not have had the necessary experience, but there is no way you can question his intelligence or his temperament. Palin is neither smart, nor is she emotionally stable. I've read articles written by conservatives who describe her as paranoid, and almost delusional. She is not he answer.

Your joking, right? We don't know Obama's intelligence because his college records are sealed. (how did he do that?) They say he had a ghost writer for his terrible books. Temperament? He acts like a thug. He strikes back at people without thinking. They say he has a narcissistic personality and he won't budge on his ideals because he is not smart enough to be flexible.
I say it is time to elect a real citizen and patriot.

Actor seems to be one of the few sane ones around here. Yes, Katie Couric asks tricky questions about what newspapers do you read on a daily basis and Palin freezes like a deer in the headlights. She quotes her foreign policy experience as being able to see Russia from some points in Alaska. This is a quitter who was an ineffective governor of a state with a total population of less than Orlando. She flip-flopped about the "Bridge to Nowhere". Her Tea Bag candidate endorsements were for loons - and a couple of the loons got elected, too.

Dude, I say, "Go, Actor - and keep the faith, brother!"

I see actor has a partner in crime. GO DUDES!!!

better than to expect a thoughtful response from the likes of you.

I do like Palin but I would prefer Romney/Rice or Rice/Romney

If you would like a thoughtful response you should first have a thoughtful post about a thoughtful topic. Your's and tbugs posts about Sarah Palin fall far short of the mark, and are merely ill informed rehashes of insipid liberal talking points with the sole intention to denigrate.

When you post such sophomoric posts, it would be ridiculous to try to engage in a debate on the post because I'd have to respond to every nonsensical point you've made.

So, in fairness, when I, or Ajack it seems, see posts of this nature, we just goof on you, or don't post at all on the meaningless thread.

Sorry if you're offended by this.

to know that winning an election in our times requires a lot of money...she is busily raising millions while letting the public get to know and trust her...as the time for 2012 comes closer, she may surprise everyone with some really common sense platform points which the average man in the street can understand and support...she is not now in a position to offer a platform...but i do agree that she cannot win on popularity alone. she is capable of gaining ground when popularity is matched with platform, and i think she is doing it one step at a time....she is not as dumb as the media would like to portray her.

I would truly love to see Sarah Palin on "Meet The Press" to see what she really has to say in a free-exchange interview without her handlers getting the questions in advance like they do on Fox.

Someone mentioned Pres. Obama's college grades being sealed. He was editor of the law review so the grades could not have been bad. What kind of grades did Sarah get at the 5 different colleges she attended - none were Ivy League universities. Even George W. went to Harvard.

I am surprised that RichieLion is such a staunch conservative in his thinking after growing up in New York City. I have heard that a conservative is a liberal that got mugged once. Sounds plausible for NYC.

Good that we liberals and you conservatives can enjoy living in The Villages, play golf together, socialize at the same clubs, and still have lively debates. It's always a beautiful day in The Villages.

We cannot get anything done with platitudes...we have a man in the WH who got elected on pretty platitudes. We have a congress that is in there because of sound bites and platitudes. We need to get into the HOW part real quick and instead of pretty faces, pretty words, or things we like to hear, lets elect folks who have what it takes to get things done without worrying about the D or R after names.

I think the Republicans should be able to come up with a better candidate than Sarah, and I agree with you 100%, Bucco, about your comments about getting to the HOW part.

makes you the sole arbiter of what and what isn't meaningful? I've read many of your posts that were downright ignorant. You're slipping back to your condescending, arrogant self. Anyone that would say that Katie Couric ambushed Sarah Palin is either a fool, or a moron. So tell me, which one are you?

RichieLion seems to be able to quote from Ben Franklin and Winston Churchill but why not come up with some original plausible rationales?

I did ask RichieLion about Sarah's college grades at the 5 different colleges she attended as compared to Pres. Obama's being the editor of the law review at his "elitist" Ivy League university. I got no answer on this question.

Don't forget that even George "Weasel" went to Harvard so don't try that elitist talk about Pres. Obama. Weasel was of some of the bluest blood in New England yet tried to say he was just a cowboy and liked clearing brush in Crawford.

AKA Barrack Hussein Obama, our very first affirmative action president, used politics to become editor. He got himself elected by convincing a crucial swing bloc of conservatives that he would protect their interests if they supported him.He used the same tactics of listening sessions that he used in the poor neighborhoods of South Side, Chicago.
He doesn't want to release his records because it would prove he lied about his name and the bennies he received from being a foreign student.
President George Bush released his records and his grades were better the Al Gore and John Kerry. People are now understanding how good President Bush was at his job. Barry Hussein Obama may go down as the worst President ever.

You've proven yourself, with this post, to be everything you've called me and more. You've revealed your character, or lack thereof, for all the world to see.

One more quote for you by someone you might understand.
