No wonder everyone hates conservatives now.

Palin is an absolute joke. I hope McCain kicked the guy who told him to choose her. In the balls.

Palin's not my favorite politician, but she's articulating conservatism as good as or better than anyone else out there right now. Yeah, I'm not sure that's saying much.

I was really disappointed to read a Drudge link today with Jeb Bush and Romney poo-pooing the Reagan era. I don't know why the party leaders have such a hard time with this: Reaganism is what wins elections for Republicans.

As for McCain, that may be the dumbest advice I've ever heard you give, Waters. Palin was the only reason McCain didn't get beaten by 10+.

Please, Palin was an awful VP choice.

You are totally right. You should definitely run her in 2012.

The Reagan era is dead. People talking about it sound like Archie Bunker singing about Hoover.

Romney is correct in wanting to move on.

I wouldn't go that far.

The Reagan era is dead. The principles that comprised Reaganism are not.

news flash: the GOP is not about Reagan ideals. It's hasn't been for many years. That's why they're losing elections. And Palin isn't like Reagan either.
