Palin A "Shooting Star Crashing To Earth"? (so says Ed Rollins)
CBS News ^ | July 4, 2009

Posted on 07/04/2009 2:03:48 PM PDT by EveningStar

If Sarah Palin thinks quitting the Alaskan statehouse is going to help a 2012 presidential campaign which some pundits speculate she's mulling, she's mistaken, according to longtime Republican strategist Ed Rollins...

Ed Rollins is a turd. I saw him spew crap about Palin minutes after she spoke. This last 24 hours have definetly opened my eyes to alot of things. Sarah will now know who she can trust and quite frankly its the people not the talking heads.

My thought also. Where was Ed during 2006 and 2008? On vacation?

Damn straight!

Remember to keep note of all these idiots quotes, we can jam them down their throats in time.

As much as I used to like Rollins, how long has it been since he has managed a successful campaign? Irrelevant chit chat from a political has been.

THanks for posting this thread it needed to be done.

Rollins bashed her last night on some cable channel as well,he can go to hell as far as I am concerned.

We have problems enough with rats and rinos blasting us from every side. We don't need supposed conservatives doing the same. The rats are supposed to be the enemy not our best bet for the White House.

If he's a Huckster supporter no wonder! Now there's a guy,along with Metro Charlie Crist, I will never support even if he should get the nomination.

What he did to Mitt was unforgivable and I can take or leave Mitt Romney.

Isn't Ed Rollins part of the political machine that got us into this disaster to begin with?

I'm not sure I put much store in him. All I can tell you for certain is that I continue to look forward to voting for Sarah Palin every time I get a chance.

What bombs?

Try this:

"You have to remember, everybody else climbed the mountain; she got put on top of it by John McCain," he said. "We would not be talking about Sarah Palin if John McCain hadn't picked her (as his running mater).

"So, at the end of the day, she's still gotta earn her stripes."

Ed better leave the country.

If you read Rollins history, it is not that impressive.

Other than riding on Reagan's coat tails, he has been associated with one loser after another.

From Kemp to Perot to Huckabee and one unknown after the other in between.

A BS artist.

I doubt Sarah Palin is sitting up nights worrying about Rollin's comments and seeking his advice.

Obvious shilling for his guy. Rollins has been exposed as a sleazy hack. A loser not a 'strategist'. Huck, you're implicated by the 'strategists' you keep.

The LameStreamMedia is really outdoing themselves digging up RINO’s to bad-mouth Palin. Is anyone in the media even familiar with the term RINO? Don’t they know real Repubs know who and what these people are?

Here is a Palin thread that matters (unlike Nobody Rollins):

Sarah Palin: Happy 4th of July!

I am now looking ahead and how we can advance this country together with our values of less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security, and much-needed fiscal restraint. I hope you will join me. Now is the time to rebuild and help our nation achieve greatness!

She is on the march!

Rollins has long ago used up his chits from the Reagan days. As folks have pointed out, he’s not been too bright since.

That being said, I think he’s right here.

I will say one thing. People on this forum were talking about Palin long before McStain ‘lifted her up’ (implied), and if anything she lifted him up.

McCain was 25 to 35 percent without her.

Sarah Palin has just crossed the Rubicon. If she decides to run in 2012, she will now know who she can trust and who she can’t within the Republican party.

And of course Mo Dowd is checking in on Sunday, according to Drudge, with a typical trash tirade.

Of course, we all know why Mo Dowd hates Sarah Palin.

Sarah’s obviously getting a whole lot of what Maureen couldn’t manage to get if she ran through Central Park at high noon bareass!

And, from the long view it is like some of the martial arts.

The more the RINO’s resist her, the greater will be her support.

Maureen Dowd . . . hmm, I think I remember her.

Isn’t she the washed-up columnist and bitter spinster who couldn’t keep Michael Douglas interested?

It must be hell being an aging feminist who can’t get a man.

Rollins was the brain behind te brilliant Huckleberry campaign. before that he was on the bench and out of the game for a long time.

In the end none of this punditry matters, because if Palin is intending to go for the race in 2012 she will sink or swim on her ability to raise money and grow a support organization in the next couple years. That will depend on her personal strengths, and the present situation will prove to be irrelevant in the end.
