If she gets elected then the citizens of this country will get what they deserve. Decades of mismangement, voter apathy and the acceptance of low standards led us down this road. Last one out turn off the lights.

I can't believe I'm about to say this, I'd consider Hilary over Palin... For Public Office. And I ain't voting for neither....

Because It is very likely that the economy may not turn around until 2013, whoever gets elected next (I assume not Obama) will be in the right place at the right time and be designated a great president
True in more ways than one, whovere is in office at the present time, gets the credit, or blame for the current situation, wether it is their doing or not...and most voters cannot see past that. Couple that with a tow party system that is lockstep in gridlock, it only gets worse.

Yeah....me too... I would walk out most likely with an empty ballot, if that were the choice...or I would force myself to vote for the one with the brain....even if I usually do not agree, at least there is a thought process there...
and there lies the rub... we get so locked into " got to have it all our way"...we cannot compromise, or let the other side have a moment, or an inch... that is a big part of the trouble in congress now.


Jefferson was right... time for another Revolution.

I agree. I'm not a Hillary fan, but as someone who leans a little on the conservative side, I would consider her more in line with my way of thinking than most of the other Dems.

As for Palin, I hope she either goes away (not very likely) or does something so mind blowingly idiotic (much more likely) that she cannot be a viable candidate in 2012. I also don't see what makes her so attractive to some of you guys. I find her looks to be ok for a woman her age, but nothing special.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
