Palin ruined the tea party?

I don't think she has any ideas. I think she repeats things people tell her.

could be. I know AK is a whole different country in itself, but I did like what she did up there. I would trust he before I would trust pelosi or reid or obama, well pretty much any DEM out there.

Yep! I hate to agree with the libs but her quiting the gov post was the end to her pres bid. I think she should have run it out and then went for a senate seat to get more informed on issues and to make her presence known. The core TPers are pulling away from her. She supports many things I like. And for the most part I like her. But she is paying dues when she supports people like McCain who are bad for conservatives and the cause in general and I draw the line there. Can't wave the conservative banner and pull moves like that.

I agree -- quitting in general is something the nation tends to look down on, and suggesting it's because people weren't nice to her and made fun of the family doesn't help because they'd face even more attention on the national scale. When the going gets tough, the tough...quit? I don't think so.

I'm not a real big fan of Sarah Palin. Frankly, I find her a bit cartoonish. Her Aww-shucks, sweetheart, folksy persona is endearing, but exactly the opposite of what I want in a president. I do appreciate that she isn't (yet) a career politician, but I just can't take her seriously.

I would like a candidate for president to be more serious minded.

I think the mainstream Republican party has usurped the tea party movement and Sarah Palin was the instrument they used to do so.

On a side note, I think a good 2012 Republican ticket would be Ron Paul/Condoleeza Rice. These are individuals with a proven track record and who actually have the experience necessary to both represent us to the rest of the world and navigate the quagmire that is Washington DC.

Wow, you guys don't like an actual gun-toting, hunting, conservative? Are you high?
What do you want? More lawyers like BO?
Maybe more connected, corrupt, Washington insiders?
She's got my vote.
