Amen. As do I.
Full of themselves and FOS.
So now they attack her because evidently she is not “sophisticated” to their taste. Dear God preserve us from these soi disant intellectuals
I agree. If Governor Palin had told McCain no thank you, I have work to do in Alaska, she would have won a second term and been ready for a run in 2016.
What have Matt Lewis or Mark Hemingway accomplished in life? They’re basically bloggers.
Yeah, because that’s what most people do, turn down an offer to be vice president of a country.
Well, if I’m grateful for anything concerning the whole GOP backstabbing of Palin, it’s that it truly opened my eyes to the vileness of the Republican Party establishment, and how it in no longer represents my values or my beliefs. It ended my lifelong, exclusive-GOP voting record; it ended all the wasted time I used to devote listening to so-called ‘conservative’ pundits; it ended my viewing of FoxNews after being a longtime watcher.
Hence, it’s really taken a big burden off my shoulders, and freed up a lot of time.
Speaking of Biden, what would the media have said if Palin recalled how President Franklin Roosevelt went on TV in 1929 to reassure America that things were gonna be OK?
Why would anyone with any decency facilitate the left's "politics of personal destruction?"
Lukewarm piece, yet true enough with regard to a semblance of perspective.
Even in it’s lukewarmness it s brave in it’s own way.
I don’t like the supposed conservatives, Ben Shapiro being number one, totally spewing ay her like any MSNBC Palin Derangement Syndrome sufferer.
I ave realized the lack of any rationality or objectivity when it comes to her is a type of xenophobia.
It’s scary and visceral in that it is more akin to a lunch mob or childish bullying than anything mature or rational.
The media we are getting angry about in this case is supposedly “conservative” media that that is supposed to be ‘on our side’.
We have the MSM (Mainstream Media) but we also have an RSM (RINOstream Media) in this country, too.
You are all missing that this is an incredibly brave article for him to write.
Being chosen for VP is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There is no coulda-woulda-shoulda about it.
Sarah Palin resigned because she was being bankrupted by political operatives.
Of course she was going to hit the lecture and TV circuit.
Do you even understand how much debt she had accumulated trying to defend herself?
I am sure somebody has turned down that job. Pretty sure I wouldn’t want it.
It’s “brave” at the Weekly Standard to sorta weakly defend a conservative former governor? My, how far we’ve gone down the road towards statism and PC socialism.
Perhaps I was wrong and she is just another self serving politician. Starring in stupid reality shows lends credibility to your position.
And I thought the TV gigs were just a distasteful job accepted only to pay legal bills.....
Thomas Eagleton had it yanked from him, but other than that?
So only the left should be on television? How do you even fight a culture war that way?
speaking as a Christian, I was pretty dissappointed last year when Palin referred to waterboarding as baptism for terrorists.
As a Christian that actually has a sense of humor and understands that terrorists are the biggest threat to freedom liberty and Christianty, I was able to see the humor in her statement........
Agreed.
My moment of realization came when the GOP establishment kept silencing the microphones any time Ron Paul's name was mentioned at the last convention.
It was a foregone conclusion at that point that he wasn't going to win, but they couldn't be satisfied with that, they had to silence the mic's any time his vote tallies were mentioned as they went through each state's results.
