I'm voting for McCain. I really can't stand the guy's politics, and I think he'll be horrible for the conservative movement. Having said that, Palin is clearly the future of conservatism and a fine example of a state Republican who has not been contaminated with the "corruption of principle" that has plagued the GOP on the national level since 1998.

My refusal to vote for McCain has been based on the idea that a GOP loss would give the Republican Party a time-out or "breather" to reassess why it has lost the confidence of its base and the American people. I have assumed that it would give grassroots level/limited-government conservatives a chance to take charge of the movement and the party in such a way that it would diminish the party bosses and neocons that have taken control on the national level.

Having said all of that, Palin is precisely the kind of conservative that should be rewarded. I fear that her electoral failure could be as detrimental to conservatism as I once thought McCain's success would be. This puts me into an awkward situation, and it's definitely an iffy-prospect in my mind. Nonetheless, at the moment, I think the greater good for conservatism can now be served by having Gov. Palin in the #2 seat.

I'm going to cheerfully vote for Palin and hold my nose when I vote for her less than stellar running mate.

I guess we will never get to know the real Palin, she is being sequestered and withheld from reporters. To date all she has done is read a speech that was written 2 months ago and slightly changed because she was a woman. If the conservative base is pinning their future on this woman, I guess I underestimated the desperation of your movement.

Oh, that's where you're wrong. "It" is everything when it comes to beginning and leading a movement to change a nation. Notable "it" havers: Napolean, Lincoln, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Churchill, FDR, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Gorbachev, Walesa, Reagan, Thatcher. It is a gift that can be used for good or ill. Unfortunately, all too often for ill. Somehow, I don't think SHP is planning any putsch's or international conquests. I think she'll settle for nailing down the lid on Obamism, and continuing RR's unfinished business.

i'm not seeing that much "it" from 30 minutes of a prepared speech....and i frankly didn't see the "it". i saw a lot of easy phrases and snarky, predictable remarks. not "it".

but, i also don't share your veneration for Reagan. i don't think the 80's were some watershed of "great americanism". you can cite the end of the Cold War but i still don't think the 80's were the apotheosis of great america...in fact, somewhat the opposite.

Opinions vary. The 80's were the decade of my twenties. I remember the hole we were in as a nation after the feckless JEC and the nightmare that was the second RMN administration. I also remember America emerging into the sunlight under RR's inspired leadership. His record remains the post-modern gold standard.

I think the ardent fervor you continue to display towards this person makes you quite possibly the biggest hypocrite on this board. I know a lot of it is your schtick, but can you please at least tone down your masturbatory fantasies you're openly having for this woman? Your continued inability to give BHO one tiny sliver of credit for where he is when contrasted against the ridiculous manner in which you've gone Chuck Bao in your pants over this politician is getting silly. I mean she's given one speech, prepared by a Bush speechwriter in which she told multiple lies (or at the very least, half-truths) and has been more tightly reined in by the RNCs handlers than any candidate possibly ever. She has given zero interviews and has none scheduled. How long will the masses be fooled by this pick? How long until she has to stand on her own two feet and answer tough questions in situations that aren't hand crafted to make her look good?

She may be a pretty face that can deliver a few sarcastic comments to a friendly crowd and sexx it up a little with lines like "THAT'S THE KIND OF MAN I WANT for cic" and "WE'RE GONNA LAY MORE PIPEline..." The secks psychology is clearly winning over the SicEm's and Homeys of the world.

And, yeah, the '80s were weird. Nothing really trickled down, the debt shot up, and lots of people still found themselves better off but dissatisfied with the economy and elected Bill C afterward. IMO, RR began this stark division between libs and cons which is, to me, one of our biggest problems today. Most folks have moderate or somehow inconsistent lib/con ideals (me I'm a gun totin' pro-military liberal) that don't fit into either party's platform real tightly. So, we run to the ends of the spectrum and focus on the emotional issues. And pretend that when we vote, everyone from School Board Commissioner to Senator to POTUS will be better because they share our view about gay marriage, theology, or tax cuts for my tax bracket. I doubt many of them agree with me even when they say they do so I try to look for someone who will work on the issues they CAN and DO effect like the economy, healthcare, environment, national security, and how they will care of the poorest of my neighbors. But that's just me.

Jayzus! The biggest hypocrit on this board? Now that's high praise right there. Look, if my long held refusal to annoint BHO as the Second Coming and my view he is a dangerous Pollyanna who seeks to transform America into the Big Rock Candy Mountain and the fact I am excited that his opposition has apparently found kryptonite in the form of a bright conservative woman to deflate him makes me a hypocrit, then so be it. I lived through the Carter Administration. I don't want to see our nation go through that again. Sarah Palin is the wildly popularly elected governor of the state with the second highest GDP in the Union. She's no lightweight and will hold her own.

And one more thing. This new American love affair for the JSM/SHP ticket only has to last for about 60 days. After that, the nation will have been saved from Obamism. Besides, she's going to debate Biden. I suspect that will be the most heavily watched debate of the campaign. As far as interviews go, I'm sure she'll do some. During those interviews, she'll be asked snarky questions crafted to make her seem foolish. But you know what? Those questions will have the opposite effect on the folks than the interviewer intends because a lot of us are sick to death of the mainstream media's lack of objectivity and thinly veiled attempts to help BHO despite his shady past and the fact he is "all hat and no cattle."

After this is over on 11/4, perhaps BHO can go back to the Senate and actually do something besides run for the presidency. Or not. I say back to the Senate, because I don't think he could be elected governor of Illinois, and the Chicago machine sure won't allow their boy Daley II to be unseated by the likes of Mr. Hope N. Change. You know, that whole "prophet unrespected in his own land" dealio. Maybe BHO can run for president of France or German chancellor since they seem to be so enamored of him.

With the exception of not bending over for Big Oil, that sounds a lot like the current state of conservatism to me.

You had it right the first time. The Republican Party needs an enema, with Turd Blossom leading the way south. It's looking more and more that this will be the first time ever I will vote straight ticket dem, and **** the pubz for making it come to that.

His other trolls are wrinklyolddude, BoboHead, DrunkVegan, 100thMonkey and maybe others that don't come to mind immediately. Thought I'd save you guys the trouble of having to figure it out.

Carry on.

I was willing to concede the possibility early on that it wasn't the one and the same...but after this thread I knew, and now you've confirmed for sure.

Thanks for that. :)

Uh, Reagan was a known entity in 1976, governed the most populous state in the union and had experience running a national campaign at the top of the ticket. Comparing Palin to Reagan is absurd.



Running a campaign is not relevant experience. I know it's one of the three legs of the stool your candidate sits on, but I'm tired of hearing about it.

Government (http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/09/palins-pork.html) pork (http://www.adn.com/sarahpalin/story/511471.html), windfall taxes on "Big Oil" (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2008103325_alaskatax07.html), and scientific (http://dwb.adn.com/news/politics/elections/story/8347904p-8243554c.html) ignorance (http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/sarah_palin_vp/2008/08/29/126139.html)--the future of conservatism? With the exception of not bending over for Big Oil, that sounds a lot like the current state of conservatism to me.

You had it right the first time. The Republican Party needs an enema, with Turd Blossom leading the way south. It's looking more and more that this will be the first time ever I will vote straight ticket dem, and **** the pubz for making it come to that. The pubz never considered that as they kept pulling that pendulum farther and farther to the right that it would inevitably swing just as far back to the left.



So you're just some regular objective independent who's just so disappointed with republicans not being real conservatives that you're just gonna vote straight democrat to teach the republicans a lesson?

an intelligent person would seriously consider voting "non incumbent" across the board.

I tend to practice it every two years, obviously I know more about how to enact change than any political candidate.

I'm not equating running a campaign as experience, just pointed out that Reagan had established himself as a know entity before his campaign in 1980.

If it happens that McCain loses this one, and Sarah jumps to the top of the ticket and carries and ungodly amount of states in 2012, then I would understand the Reagan comparison.

Because I think the current incarnation of the Republican Party sucks donkey balls? I'm not exactly far out in left field with that assessment. It's only the right wingers that think the GOP is on the right track.
