by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib e rty -vs- Tyr a nny American's are an interesting bunch. Stubborn and fickle at the same time. Especially Republicans. But then again I question just why in the hell anyone is concerning themselves with the 2016 presidential race two years out? I guess it's because we're... Americans? Public Policy Polling - PPP's newest look at the Republican field for 2016 finds some big changes from our previous polling. Marco Rubio, who had led all of our polling since December, has dropped all the way to 6th place. Rand Paul now has the lead nationally, to go along with the leads he posted in our most recent Iowa and New Hampshire polls. And Ted Cruz has already hit double digits. The numbers are: Paul 16, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, and Paul Ryan each at 13, Cruz at 12, Rubio at 10, Rick Santorum and Bobby Jindal at 4, and Susana Martinez at 2. Cruz has proven to be such a darling to the far right that he actually already lead...
RN: I don’t do things to “wee-wee up” anyone, however, I won’t change in order to please anyone either. If Palin’s normal “routine” is to scribble on her palm, then I think she should continue to do so.
ReplyDeleteRN: you know I hold you in high regard. It's with regret that I think you're nuts for defending Sarah Palin for her palm crib notes. I wouldn't have had a problem with them if it was to remember someone's name she just met. Or a couple of dates. Any information that was just given her. I did that as a habit in past careers. But c'mon man. She was a major national candidate. She is one of the faces of the republican party. How in the heck could she not remember "cut spending" "cut taxes" and "lift American spirits" ?
ReplyDeleteAnd then to try and poke fun at Obama because he reads speeches from a teleprompter instead of from a piece of paper like REAGAN did. This woman couldn't even remember three elementary right wing talking points.
She had fame thrust upon her. The only difference between her and Joe the faux plumber is she is attractive.
For God's sakes RN; you're the last hope for the right. Mke them find another hero!
Pamela - I agree. Each to his own methodology. Or what works for the individual. The independent streak is what should be admired.
ReplyDeleteTruth - I am not so much defending Palin, as there is really nothing to defend on this one way or the other, but I am giving here kudos for her handling of the lefts attack on her and the way in which she handled it.
ReplyDeleteShe is indeed one of the faces of the Republican Party... Independent conservative anyone? If you catch my drift Truth.
Thank you for your encouraging... "For God's sakes RN; you're the last hope for the right."
I certainly will focus on the next presidential election and the line up of candidates when the time is right. If I see a "heroic" candidate you betcha (to crib Palin) I will line up in their corner.
Of course Ron Paul is unlikely to run in 2012.
