Title: Who would you support for the GOP nomination is 2012?
Post by: Wretched Excess on October 17, 2008, 08:20:35 PM
I am going with Sarah.

and I will open this poll up to other suggestions . . . . even if mccain wins, I hope he doesn't run for re-election, by the way.

its one shot only for McCain.

While Huckabee is personable I don't want him.  Or Rudy.

Any of the others would be fine as well as Jindal.

+1

Out of curiosity, why did you include Michael Steele an option? 

With whom you have mentioned above, I'd go with Mitt Romney.  I'd like to see Jindal added to the list though  :cheersmate:



I included him because he impresses me.  I have a great deal of respect for him, and have met him personally.  were you
implying a racial (which is different that a "racist") thing?  hmmm.  probably not.  if I was being a slave to racialism, I would
have included JC watts.

What about Tim Pawlenty?

I was surprised to see his selection listed, as I wasn't aware of any presidential aspirations of him.  Other than his Hannity work as of late, hadn't really heard much from him lately.  I honestly can't say I know enough about him to view him one way or the other, just didn't see him as one on the forefront for the next primary nomination list.

As for the racist ambiguous comment... oh come on, you're drunk and just trying to stir something up.  :lmao:

Shockingly though, I caught a video at a conference last night, where it was declared the only reason to not vote for Obama is because you're racist... and anyone who doesn't vote for him, well... is a...  :whatever:

Stuff like that, I'm torn between just breaking out in laughter or feeling sad... people are so blinded they actually see such things...  :mental:

michael steele is a fave of mine because he is right on the issues.  now, perhaps my standards have been lowered since a state senator
could very well be elected president in the next few weeks.  I assure you, the fact that steele happens to be black is a coincidence, not
racialism.

you may believe it or not.

and yes, I am a bit racy (in the personality and behavioral aspect of the word) tonight. :-)

Well if you're using that as criteria wouldn't that disqualify Palin (since Alaska isn't going blue any time soon)?


 :-)



I just remember his name coming up quite a bit in pre-VP announcement, he seems to be an up and comer.

nope.  pawlenty was on the national scene for over a year, and everyone fell asleep.  Sarah Palin was picked,
and the world was awakened THAT DAY.

You should make it multiple choice, I would support Plalin, Jindal, and Steele w/o reservation so they're all number one.  I would go with Rudy second and I would avoid the Huckster at all costs, which means he would probably be the nominee.  And Mitt Romney, he gave MA socialized medicine and if that is his big claim to fame then no thanks.

I overheard a conversation by some 20-somethings this afternoon regarding Sarah's appearance.

they predicted mayhem.

Palin. Accept no substitutes.  :-)

Four years as VP should quell any experience questions. She is right on the issues and as close to Ronoldus Magnus as I have seen yet.

Um, as much as I like Ms. Palin, I'm a homer for the conservative Catholic and former Lt. Governor from Prince George's County, Maryland. Should have been my Senator, too. Not that no-talent ass-clown Cardin.

Remember, kids, you have Michael Steele to thank for these words:

DRILL BABY DRILL!!!

2012? No question about it, Sarah Palin. I am damned tired of RINO's like Bush and McCain.

And while I am not a christian I would whole heartedly vote for Sarah.

A Sarah Palin ticket with Jindal would be great.

Jindal and Steel are true rising stars.

Palin may not have it to be a Top of the Ticket (as much as I really think she is great).

it's a little ironic that a lot of conservatives are supporting mccain mostly because they want to vote for Sarah Palin in 4 years.  I admit, I am one of them.

Pawlenty is a RINO. I was less than impressed after he became Governor of MN. I DID vote for him, but only because he was the lesser of two evils.

Michael Steele or Sarah Palin.
Steele has impressed me for a while.  Whenever his is on, I watch him.  He always says the right things and thinks exactly as I do.
Sarah because, well she scares the hell out of liberals...and she's been pivotal in bring conservatives back and hopefully changes the direction of the republican party back to conservatism.

I'd love to see both on a ticket.

I said Palin, but I'd love to see JC Watts as her running mate.  Won't happen, though.  So, I'd go with Jindal as her running mate. 

There's rumors in NY that Rudy Giuliani will run for Governor in 2010.  I would vote for him, even though I am at a polar opposite with his 2nd Amendment views.

Agree with you totally, Wretch. She's the reason he's still in the race.

Michael Steele was in St Louis, helping get out the volunteers. He spoke to the volunteers first, then they were to get busy making phone calls. I really wanted to go, but couldn't get off work. I really think he's a very bright, articulate man and would support him.

Saw JC Watts in St Louis at a rally some time ago for then Senator Jim Talent. He impressed me at the time, but his statement that he'd support Obama didn't impress me all that much. Has anyone heard if he's changed his view on that?

Sarah, definitely!!!

I too, have been really impressed by Michael Steele. He doesn't add a lot of BS and cuts right to the point. And seems to have little tolerance for fools.

Steele I really don't know anything about, but Jindal or Palin would be great.  So would Condoleeza Rice.
