Shut up Frumplepie, you non-American gap-toothed liberal fairy-queen.

In today's Washington Post, Bill Kristol asks tauntingly "[T]he mainstream media and the Republican establishment. … tend not only to dislike and disdain Palin, they also want to bury her chances now as a presidential possibility. What are they afraid of?"
That's easy to answer: They -- we! -- are afraid that Palin's distinctive combination of sex appeal, self-pity, and cultural resentment has a following in today's GOP. We are afraid that it is not utterly inconceivable that she could win the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, and we are afraid that if she did so she would lead the party to a 1964-style debacle, accompanied by unnecessary losses down the ballot.
We are afraid that even if Palin does not win the nomination, that she will still help to brand the Republican party in a very damaging way. No national candidacy has ever collapsed so rapidly and totally as Sarah Palin's in 2008. The evidence is strong that she is the only vice presidential nominee in history to have had a significant impact on voting preferences -- and negatively so. Since voting day, she has only continued to lose ground...

Not guilty! (Oooops, no picture yet but still not guilty!)
Another piece of elitist chaff. The article and the author.
Shut up Frumplepie, you non-American gap-toothed liberal fairy-queen.
Lovely, more “reach-across-the-aisle-for-the-sake-of-bipartisanship” BS!
We see more negative stuff about Sarah Palin every day. But we know that if the liberals are afraid of her, then SHE IS EXACTLY WHO WE NEED IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!
The fact that the GOP leadership isn’t backing her is just sickening! I think they’re getting jealous because SARAHPAC is winning all the donations and the tap to the RNC is running dry.
I agree with you !
Mid 40’s, 5 kids, a grandmother to boot.
I know several women who don’t look like that and they aren’t half her age !!
Rebellion is brewing!!
DONT TREAD ON ME!!
Who is this idiot?
Did I miss the satire tag?
Yeah, let’s blame Palin. Forget that McCain acted like a buffoon in the campaign. Palin brought so many more votes to McCain than she cost him. The only way the GOP is going to win is to have a CREDIBLE small-government candidate. Palin is the only one I know of.
David Frum. And little pi$$-ants like this wonder why republicans are losing. Maybe you should stop asking democrats for permission to exist, little Davy!
Frum=useless puke.
You want more goofy and suspect Frumple pics?
As opposed to say ... another RINO ... we did so well with that strategy in 2008, didn't we David?
Piss off, you beltway elitist asshat.
Without Palin, McCain would have received 45% or less of the popular vote.
He isn’t even an American for goodness sake... Yet this Canuck liberal snob thinks he can tell US Conservatives whom to vote for?
Be afraid, RINOs. Be very afraid.
Kristol fully and thoroughly understands the thinking of the 100 or so people he hangs around with. He hasn’t got a flipping clue about the rest of us.
Steve, you know as well as I do that Frum's an idiot and a loser. I wish he'd call back in to Mark Levin's show and get a second helping of Mark's righteous scorn and contempt.
I really don't want somebody in office who thinks that $500,000 is nothing.
We have that already, in Spades.
Wow.....
Hey, how’d that McCain thing work out there Frumpy?
My "photo" comment was re: Sarah....definitely NOT the Frumster.
and we are afraid that if she did so she would lead the party to a 1964-style debacle, accompanied by unnecessary losses down the ballot.
That is what McCain did. Sarah is the only reason that he got as many votes as he did.
What’s your beef with Kristol? He has consistently supported Palin.
Goodness what a little bitch...
What the hell is he talking about. WHat a doche bag
Yeah, David. Let’s run another limp-wristed, spineless, politically correct weasel like Juan! You know, another he-man who endorses the damn democrat candidate! After all, it worked out so well the first time around. But this time, lets make sure he’s a REAL faggot, and doesn’t just act like one. Maybe that’ll attract all of those democrat voters Juan believed would vote for him if only he stood for nothing!
No joke. He proved to be utterly clueless on the economy and managed to make Obama look good.
Would someone please give Mr. Frum a ticket to Clueville?
Sorry. Here... this will help your eyes:
Exactly Mr. Frum... you all have worked too hard to become the Party of RINOs and such a shame to see Sarah destroy that with conservative ideals.
No national candidacy has ever collapsed so rapidly and totally as Sarah Palin's in 2008. The evidence is strong that she is the only vice presidential nominee in history to have had a significant impact on voting preferences -- and negatively so. Since voting day, she has only continued to lose ground... …..
Yet, she has continued to draw record crowds. Still commands intense media scrutiny. "...Only continues to lose ground"??? Appears her Alaskan and national polls still remain very high. Since her 3 Jul 2009 announcement, the media/talk radio/internet has been in a frenzy opining her future plans.
There is no doubt the McCain would have lost by a far greater margin if Gov Palin was not on the ticket. She energized the conservative movement, as she continues to this day.
How can this be? McCain would have lost by a huge margin had he not named her as his VP candidate.
Frum-who???
How can this be? McCain would have lost by a huge margin had he not named her as his VP candidate.
He blames McCain's loss on Palin, he even refers to it as "Sarah Palin's campaign!" More people would have voted for the Sarah Palin campaign, if it wasn't for the milquetoast appeasing liberal deadwood at the top of the ticket.
And he "fears" that Palin will damage the Republican "brand"! Hey Fruitcake, the GOP brand is currently as marketable as liver flavored ice cream.
Douchebags like Frum won't admit it, but they prefer the Republican brand to be the leftwing's other white meat.
I love Sarah - her conservative values and how she stands up and calls chairman obeyme a socialist.
Jed Bush, like other RINOs, will not even call him a socialist. Gutless liberals!
Frum....Isn’t this the loser clown who can’t get a candidate elected due to his unerring incompetance to, first, pick the right candidate, and second, to be able to properly run their campaigns for them? One couild say he knows a lot about what constitutes a losing campaign, and yet, knows absolutely nothing about a winning candidate.
Sorry Frum, we don’t tell you how to build igloos or make maple syrup. Don’t tell us how to run a real country.
I really like that TIME photo - could be my new favorite.
I guess she beat out Frum's own combination of sex appeal, self-pity, and cultural resentment.
It looks like it couldn't have been hard for her to best him in that first category.
Huh! Without Sarah Palin on the ticket McRINO would have been beaten by Obama to the tune of 70% to 30% of the vote. Pleeeease Mr. Frum, put the screw-on cap back onto the whine bottle and take a nap.
I think we need a new RULE regarding David Frum postings:
Every one to be accompanied by a picture of a big steaming pile of dog $#!t.
“No national candidacy has ever collapsed so rapidly and totally as Sarah Palin’s in 2008.”
Compared to Howard Dean & the scream? I think not.
Why David Frum is still employed (as a writer) is one of the more fundamental mysteries of the universe.
I think I did that already:
Palin was the reason the GOP did not lose by a landslide.
McCain was a stupid choice, and only Palin salvaged what we did win.
