Republican Front Runner for 2012

Republicans are scrambling to determine who they think should be the next great Republican President. With the devastation being spread across this nation by the moronic policies of President Obama, and his radically leftist Democrat controlled Congress, I can see why people are clamoring for a 2012 hopeful.

One of the names that gets brought up often is Sarah Palin. Palin, however, even among some Conservatives, is not seen in the best light after the onslaught of negative attacks by the main-extreme media. If you believe Palin is ignorant as the main-extreme media indicated, however, you are simply doing exactly as the leftists in the media have intended.

I don't believe she is ignorant as you may think, and in fact I was discussing her as a potential vice presidential pick on my site a year before McCain chose her. This is not to say that she is perfect in every way, no politician ever is. She has her charm, and her shortfalls. And recently, one of the bones of contention regarding her for many on the right is their perception of her position on illegal immigration.

With the U.S. Constitution becoming a regular topic of conversation, Ron Paul is also being brought up quite a bit in discussions regarding the presidential election of 2012. As much as I like Ron Paul's Constitutional prowess, his national security policies make me want to kick and scream (figuratively, or course).

To be honest, however, I don't think any candidate has been impressive, and I currently hold nobody as a favorite for 2012 at this point. One thing can be for sure, however: whoever it is will be heads and tails better than the idiot in the White House right now.
