In a hypothetical match up with Obama, Sarah Palin now ties. When Palin was running as VP, Democrats had all these doomsday predictions of what things would be like if Sarah Palin were president. The problem is, those scenarios now look optimistic compared to how things actually are.
Now, I’m not saying Palin is my candidate for 2012, I’m just noting that the arguments against her don’t really hold much water anymore. The worst they could say about her is, “She lacks experience! She could possibly be nearly as bad as Obama!” which wouldn’t be a great argument when running against Obama. Obama is at a whole new level of suck, and it’s pretty certain anyone would be better as it seems unlikely suck lighting would strike twice like that.
We really should think hard on 2012, though, because we could have a chance of electing absolutely anyone we want. Obama will continue to screw everything up and probably have a slogan in 2012 like, “Shut up, stupids! I is smart!” And it won’t even be a challenge.
Dang; too bad I won’t be old enough to run until the 2016 election.
At this point, Aquaman could beat Obama.

Well, just don’t release your birth certificate, Frank, and you’ll be fine. For all we know, you were also born in Canada.
I would vote for one of my cats’ hairballs over Obama or any Democrat. Disturbing, yet Reassuring.
HELP! I’M TALKING LIKE IMAO SPAM COMMENTERS AND I CAN’T GET UP!
Given that Obama won’t provide a birth certificate, I wouldn’t worry about waiting until 2016 to meet the age requirement of the presidency. You could just refuse to provide yours too. I’d just go ahead and start faking your past also. In fact, you may not know it yet, but you worked at the Harvard Law Review, too.
Okay LS, first of all Aquaman is Democrat. Republicans talk to fish the same way they talk to chicken and ribs, with a sweet kiss of flame.
Second, remember who exactly it is that will be opposing Buckethead in 2012. That’s right, some Republican. The same Republicans that haven’t had a decent candidate since Superm…er Ronald Reagan.
Frank…I bed to differ with your well thought out thesis. By 2012 the MFM and innate GOP blundering will have the “independents” convinced that everything from the oil spill to their wife’s reluctance to play “U-Boat Commander” has been the fault of the Republicans. It’s all there in the Mayan prophecy. Except the Aquaman part. Mayans didn’t rock no gay superheroes.
NO! Thee Obama Lama Ding Dong will win again.
The Conservatives (of all types) are scattered, confused, and divided.
The RepublicOns have been Neo-Rhino-fied (again) and the Libertarians are…
well… still Libertarians (= to 0.01% of the vote).
The real reason is that God is ‘probably’ not done punishing the Liberals for doing what is EVIL in the sight of the Lord. The Libs wanted a Messiah and they got one. They wanted a FALSE Idol to worship and they got Obama.
Stop being so selfish!! The Obammunites DESERVE to be Obammified.
They made this “excrement sandwhich” so let em eat it….
I’m beginning to wonder if it will be Hillary in 2012.
Obama has to be sick of the job, people keep expecting him to do stuff and stuff. He’s probably looking forward to his post-presidency.
Notice how many Clintonistas are starting to go after Obama, Carville lately and that “documentary” about how Obama cheated in the primaries.
Hillary is working on getting her exclamation point back.
And who wouldn’t vote for Hillary!?
If the republicans would have run a giant douche or a turd sandwich instaed of mccain against that one, we may not be having this conversation. Perhaps in 12, the republicans will run an actual candidate.
Frank for President !!!! As said earlier, after the birth certificate fiasco, whats a few years on age? Are you right handed or left handed, Frank? I need to know for which hand to buy that leather lead sap glove for some good ol’ face punching in the debates.
All kidding aside, the Republicans have a really big time leadership problem. The party has done a first class job of placing a boot on the neck of any rising true conserative. Christie or Jindal maybe.
Run, Fred, run! Run, anyone with a measure of competency and a knowledge of America’s values, run!
As President Sarah would do for America what she did for Alaska:
– Reduce and eliminate many taxes.
– Hold big oil accountable.
– Eliminate bureaucratic corruption.
– Hold all her press conferences on Facebook & Twitter.
– Make it legal to shoot the same kinds of animals that hippies have on their t-shirts. From helicopters.
– Baffle Andrew Sullivan with her “baby-making mystery organ.”
– Cause the NAACP and Olbermann to hallucinate even more racism.
– Decorate the Oval Office with lots of stuff that she killed.
Buck up. SarahK will be old enough to run in 2012. And we all know that she does everything you say. So, you’ll can be president by proxy.
Of course, I’m old enough to run, myself. Heck, I was old enough to vote when SarahK was born. Anyway, if she doesn’t want to run, I’ll give it a shot. Unless Harvey would rather do it. He works with Fred! after all. So he’d be a great choice.
It all just goes to show that the Republicans should start preparing for a victory now so we can snatch defeat from its jaws in ’12.
Oh course 2012 will be a pooch screw. Because nobody is even working on closing the Republican primaries.
Think about it. There will be a bunch of candidates toss their hat into the ring. One will be the most lame and RINO. Guess who the legacy media will love and promote. Obama will probably run unopposed so what do you think Democrats will do? Dutifully go cast a ceremonial vote for The One or make help make sure the final race is between Obama and Obama Lite? Yea, that is a problem isn’t it.
Of course if Hillary quits the SecState gig in the next year all bets are off.
Hmmm….who could beat Obama?
My vote: A ham sammich
Ham Sammich / Cheese ’12!
Obama, the Congress and the whole country are “at a whole new level of suck.”
I still won’t be old enough to run in 2012, but I would love to sit in the audience at a live Town Hall Meeting debate during the campaign and just do a “bullsh*t” cough after he finishes speaking. It would be worth getting kicked out. I’ll do it for $5. Well, $5 and a bowl full of only green M&Ms.
#14 – John Morris,
agreed. Closed primaries would make a huge difference.
Unless the Dumocrats had someone else to vote for.
Hilary! 2012: “I told you he’d screw it up!”
A dog catcher.
The Republicans are also capable of huge suckage and will therefore run Mitt Romney, a RINO! And if they want your opinion, they will give it to you! That’s why I am no longer a Republican. Just a conservative in the wilderness seeking a conservative candidate to vote for without RINO suckage!
[gloom]
It’s not going to matter. The stage is set for runaway financial bankruptcy on a scale not seen since the early 1920’s in Europe and the 1930’s in the U.S. Only this time, the biggest, stinking rotten egg will be our Federal government and the entire financial system.
When you consider the so called ‘laws’ that now need repealing (even just the ones passed in the last 18 months!), you realize that repealing them also means repealing – and repudiating – 100 years of intellectual bankruptcy. Not gonna happen any time soon.
So, to me, the single biggest issue will be either defending the country – or cutting it up. I don’t plan to go down with the ship in either case.
The only thing we seem to be good at now is breeding idiots and the politicians who lead them.
[/gloom]
Jimmy, a couple of thoughts. Our politicians and idiots suck and times get tougher as more of them are grown and edumacated. This is true. However, we still have enough men and women to fill up a large voluntary military.
I do not doubt a financial collapse is on the way. But I also believe this nation still has some hope. We need someone with courage, confidence, faith, and the willingness to do whatever it takes to let the people of this country know what this country is supposed to be. I don’t know if anyone on this blog has the means to run for President, but I know most of the people here understand what I’m talking about and I cannot believe there aren’t many of the same kind of people left in America.
Don’t give up the ship!
Hi Marko – yeah, I’m still on board but noting that the bilges are filling, the rudder is broken, the ship is abeam to the seas, the crew is drunk, the captain is an incompetent misfit, storm warnings are up and there is nary another ship within 1000 miles.
There have been many such calamities in human history and the reason you and I are here is that there were always survivors.
Attaboy, Jimmy!
Let’s just hope we don’t leave Captain Bligh only to end up on Pitcairn Island. I’ve heard they’re a bit too sex-crazed there.
My dog, Pete, is going to run against TheWon in ’12. He thinks he has a great chance of winning and would be the first American president who knows how to play fetch..
He’ll still carry the racist black, teach whitey a lesson even if it destroys me and my family even more, vote.
Chris Christie would be a great person to put up there in the spotlight, along with someone like Bobby Jindal or Paul Ryan (Paul ate Obama’s lunch in the “Healthcare Debate” on CSPAN). Any combination of these three would be absolutely dangerous to the looney left. These guys are as sharp as my Ka-Bar, and I HOPE we dont get some lame RINO trying to go out on a high note that crashes the party for the new-bloods. We need these fired up young fellas to go whoop some electoral butt!!! In all fairness though, I think a loaf of bread could take the 2012 elections!
