64% of Republicans want Palin to run in 2012 -- 91% have "favorable" opinion of her
Absolute proof that these people are screwballs.

Republicans think Sarah is just great

Rasmussen Reports, in a new poll published Friday, has some interesting data on how Republicans still have overwhelming positive feelings about Palin:

Ninety-one percent (91%) of Republicans have a favorable view of Palin, including 65% who say their view is Very Favorable. Only eight percent (8%) have an unfavorable view of her, including three percent (3%) Very Unfavorable.

When asked to choose among some of the GOP's top names for their choice for the party's 2012 presidential nominee, 64% say Palin. The next closest contenders are two former governors and unsuccessful challengers for the presidential nomination this year -- Mike Huckabee of Arkansas with 12% support and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts with 11%.

I can't think of a single puke candidate who could do more to ensure Obama's re-election.

6. None the 3 top potential nominees -- Palin, Huckabee, and Romney --
has a clear shot at the nomination.

Huckabee is not the favorite of the fatcat corporatists.

Romney is a Mormon, which unnerves many fundies.

And Palin is dumber than a crateful of moose hooves. I'm just not seeing her rising to the level of competitiveness. As little as I respect Romney, he'd tear her to bits in a debate.

25. Country First!??! Stupidity First ,is more like it. Have they learned
nothing from the * administration? Everyone else knows that the Conservative non-accountable free market, trickle-down only allows for fraud and the power shift away from the middle class.

How can they think of putting a childish mean spirited woman with little knowledge of our democratic government in the most important political position in the world?

I have no faith that common sense and our Country's welfare is present in the Republican party.

29. Secretly, These People Think That ...
The Bush administration was an overwhelming success. Think about it, they are richer, beyond their wildest imagination. We are involved in two wars, that serve to enrich the bushites even more for years to come. They put the congress and senate in a position requiring the American taxpayer to buy them out to the tune of 700 billion dollars (actually the experts say around 1.2 trillion). The sad thing is that the buyout had to happen due to the manner that it affected so many innocent people, while they laugh all the way to the bank. Hell. who wouldn't want more of that if they thought that the baked alaskan could deliver that for them. Unfortunately, the uninformed voters that follow them will be duped again with the same old tricks to vote for cruella deville.

35. Well your eyes are open, and you can see what has happened,
but this cannot happen again. We have and may still be on the edge of falling too hard. IF Barack can restore any part of our economy and secure the workings, we must prevent another greedy republican flood from scrubbing our wealth again.

I would think that a constant vigil and push back is needed. It may be civil,but it must be effective

Who do you think would be best at standing guard?

10. Proving two thirds of the GOP voters are dumber than Sarah Palin.
The population has about 35% Republicans. Two thirds of that number is about 23% of the population, which is about the number of the population who still support George Bush.

Palin makes Bush look like a Rhodes Scholar, but her stupidity appeal is more soundly based.

31. I Notice That You Don't Mention Guliani
I'm thinking that old rudy has finally marginalized himself with his endless 911 chants to the point where he is toast as far as considering another presidential run. Thank goodness, I can't stomach that useless POS. Arghhhh!

And that's nothing but aptitude, i.e. doesn't even mention how bad their education has been.

identify themselves as Republicans. Eventually they will be down to the KKK and skin-heads in suits faction.

24. This is my dad
After not talking presidential politics with him for the past few weeks to avoid a conflagration, I broached the subject Thursday and discovered he has moved from an initial suspicion of Palin's qualifications to thinking "she just has to stay in the national spotlight!"

:/

28. I'm still wondering about that and thinking it might NOT be her daughter.
How difficult would it be to buy a certain kind of baby these days? say . . . one with Special Needs?

I know this is real tin-hat stuff, but you just couldn't ask for a more solid trustworthy voting block than Special Needs families ( and you should add to that block their CHURCH friends). It's all about creating votes that you can rely on.

32. Good Grief
Well, if they want to be as dumb as a box of rocks, let them be. She'll run in 2012, and we'll take home 400+ electoral votes. Everything we got now, plus Arizona, Montana, the Dakotas, Missouri and Georgia. Perhaps even Texas, too. :D
