Elect Sarah Palin for President 2012
Re-Elect President Sarah Palin 2016
Didn't really see any conservatives on that first list.
Because they are the recognized..by liberals and conservatives as the conservative “elite”. Sarah threatens them because she is a person of the people. She threatens all the establishment people who live in the right places, go to the right schools and the right cocktail parties. She is not on of them. None of them could get elected...and wouldn’t take the chance of ruining their position.
Wow, this is so strange you posted this! The Standard Examiner is my local paper, and I just commented on Doug’s observations at the Paper’s blog site.
I love Doug, he always gets the local liberal’s panties in a wad! :-)
I think Popcorn is pretty cheap if you buy the microwavable type (even the really good stuff).
Buying it in the lobby is always a BAD idea. You are talking pennies vs. dollars.
Now I have settled that, I’ll kick back and see how it all goes down...
She represents the Tea Party to the Country Club Repubs and they look down their noses at the riff raff.
Pray for the Tea Party Congress
There is something seriously wrong with these people.
They are elitists, not conservatives.
they spend so much time on her because she’s so popular and it annoys them. Over the decades we have had celebrities actors who want to be president because they play one in a movie, yet we never hear the disdain for them because of their inexperience, qualification or their intelligence or ignorance of issues. They never had a chance but most ppl just view, that its great that, anyone in America can be president if they work hard at it. Palin is treated so differently to everyone else. If Palin is such a dummy and never get elected, why spend so much time on her. Thats like bullying someone who get an F in class. Who cares

These guys are “conservative” in the broader sense and do not want to have a woman as president. A large part of the conservatice movement is that way. That is why it has been so hard to elect Republican Negroes. Too many of our guys just won’t vote for them.We would have had more of them in the recent election if that reluctance were not there. I have my own apprehensions about putting a woman in the top spot, but that is a generic ambivalence that derives from the different foci of women and men re security vs liberty. But Palin does not seem to share that feminine trait and she is the closest thing we have to anything like Reagan right now. I see no sensible alternative to her at all. I do wish some potential candidate would demonstrate a basic knowledge of real Econ 101, though. Any woman who demonstrates that she understands Adam Smith or Ludwig von Mises is far superior to any man who is fuzzy on economics or thinks he is a Monetarist or “conservative” Keynesian. Get the Econ nailed down then bore in on social values. All the social conservatism in the world is to no avail if one doesn’t understand the economics.
You don't need to read farther into this piece than this to get the answer. Especially if you have any recollection or knowledge of the '76 or '80 GOP primaries. Elitist are always going to be elitists, even if you agree with them now and again.
Back when the Tea Parties first started raising hell at town hall meetings it was usually at Democrat legislator’s meetings. Later, when the mid-term elections got closer, RINOs got similar treatment. This shows that the Tea Party (and Sarah) oppose Big Government, regardless of which party it shows it’s head in.
Those “influential” columnists all owe their status to the “Good ol’ Boys” inside the beltway - Democrat and Republican, so it’s in their best interests to keep the status quo. Consequently, they beat the anti-Palin drum long and loud, knowing that constant repetition of a lie will have the same effect as if it were the truth. It’s up to us to counter that drumbeat.
Stay the course folks. I have no idea who will be the Republican nominee, though I hope it’s Sarah. In the meantime I intend to speak out for her when I can and vote for the best candidate available when the time comes. One thing for sure though: I will NOT vote for whomever the media pushes onto the ballot!
They are Establishment Republicans solidly behind the New World Order plans and the Agenda 21 Program.
The first list, and many here at FR don’t wish to see her succeed because it flies against intellectualism, which often is a disguise for elitism, snobbery, arrogance and pride.
Sarah resonates with the middle class working social conservatives who may not grasp all of the arcane nuances of conservatism we argue about here but know their core values when they see them, just as they recognize that Obama, et al do not represent them.
These people are inside out liberals is all, anyone who says anything that stupid can’t possibly be one of us.
I think the liberal elites can’t get over Palin because they are flat-out jealous as hell. Look at her - she went to nondescript state schools, has a traditional marriage with a caring husband for a partner and lots of kids, is part of a big, loving family, is a national superstar, and now a very wealthy and powerful woman.
In short - she has EVERYTHING they don’t! And in most cases, the reason they don’t have it is because they “sacrificed” marriage, family, children (not to mention their souls) to scrap and claw their way to the top of some little pile, to graduate from ‘the right school’, get a job where they have some national attention, and earn decent money.
It’s JUST NOT FAIR ;-) In their world, people like Palin deserve to be barefoot and pregnant, working minimum wage jobs and shopping at Wal-Mart. Palin is bigger, richer, and more powerful than they are and they hate her for it.
She did not graduate from an Ivy League school.
She isn’t part of the Washington, D.C., circle of friends.
She’s a woman and isn’t trying to be a man, but neither does she hate men.
I’m sure there are other reasons, but those will do for a start.
A lot of the Republicans who dislike Sarah are neither conservative or elite, but they are establishment sluts who are threatened by Sarah, the Tea Party and real conservatives. They fear irrelevance, even though they already are.
I doubt it too, unless she has a Pompous Ass reading list.
The libs know what they’re doing: They trash those whom they recognize as potential threats. They did it to Quayle. They did it to Newt. Sarah is good, and they know it.
Why? Because that’s what they always do to the self-educated even if a genius! The 2 mentioned are probably jealous because she may not have a higher I.Q. than either according to the tests they took, but she does have more power to influence than they in their own world of commentary. That is all they are, commentators. HA!
