But I hope you stay true to this post. Stay energized, and push for the Republican party to push further right. I wish you luck. The more Sarah Palin's, the more democratic victories.
Taking advice from the Left to decide the presidential candidate from the Right is what got us John "I'm not really a Conservative" McCain.
Sarah Palin is the type of conservative that energized the ticket and made the election even moderately close.
I wish we had more people like Sarah Palin to put into national office.
I voted Obama, I want my tax money to go to building better infastructure, I don't live off welfare or my parents, I have a masters degree, and I make plenty as a architectural engineer. I don't know how I will vote in 2012.
I am sick of you republican conservatives stereotyping us as lazy, bums who live off welfare. Many democrats work hard, create the technology that you use to type your stereotypical comments on the internet, and make plenty of money.
Maybe I worded my post incorrectly. It is Democrats within your income who will quickly tire of higher taxes to end up funding programs you may or may not want to fund. I have a 32 year old son who is a professor and he is a tremendous Obama supporter. I respect him, as I respect you. I am only saying that after four years of high taxing on your hard earned tax dollars, you may feel differently about your party of choice in 2012 than you do today.
It is the people who don't work or earn a living who often don't realize what a burden it is to continue funding tons of freebie programs.
Of course there will always be conservatives, but there will be less of them.
I dont think so after the next four years, I really think through trials come triumph, and that means through Socialistic governing, comes conservatism. It will get better.
No offense, but Sarah Palin and national office just don't go together. I am liberal. I know that conservatives have a voice too, and am happy for your thoughts. However, she is not qualified for national office.
Reagan on the other hand was a great president. Sarah is not a Reagan.
Who said anything about Sarah Palin, she makes McCain look as liberal as Al Gore. Most conservatives did not vote for McCain, they voted for Palin.
Absolutely. If it wasn't for Palin entering the race, the election would have been a complete landslide for Obama since many Republicans wouldn't have voted at all.

I think people will be smarter and want REAL answers to questions instead of assuming change will get us there. Eloquent words don't make a great president, but I'm willing to give Obama a chance to prove himself. I greatly wish to believe that good things will happen, but I am not about to make anybody a Messiah of change.
Having said that, I think most people could care less about the far left or far right, and they lie in the middle. I think what brought McCain down was the Bush Administration, not whether or not he could deliver (IMO).

We dont fully know what she is, just like we dont fully know what Obama is, except for friends with a terrorist and an America hating "pastor". What makes her not national office material?
I wish we had more people like Sarah Palin to put into national office.
Yes, good idea. Maybe the Republicans could clone her. At least that would ensure that I will never have to endure a Republican president again in my lifetime.
If you really believe that Sarah Palin was any kind of boon to the Republican party then you're seriously mistaken. Go back to your roots and redefine what being conservative is about, then you'll have a chance at another election.
But I'll give you a hint: Hypocrisy, smear tactics and value systems which are shallow like puddles on a rainy day are not what conservatism is about.
Sarah Palin cost Senator McCain the election. Deal with it.
It may not look like it right now, but conservatives won yesterday. It will take less than a year for the Republicans to realize that you cant win with a moderate like McCain, they have to have a real conservative; and the moderates and dems are going to realize that "The Messiah" is not just to the left, he is in the left ditch, and they will vote for anyone but him. Remember conservatives, it took Jimmy Carter to give us Ronald Reagan.
No, you are wrong. The same argument could have been made in the 60's and 70's, but conservatism was revitalized by Ronald Reagan.
Bobby Jindal '12!
Yeah, but I KNOW that Reagan would be ashamed of the youth who today call themselves conservative Republicans. Being conservative does not mean one hates, it does not mean that one must incite anger, it does not mean one is so anti liberal that he comes across as being UN-AMERICAN.
