Next for GOP leaders: Stopping Palin

Politico ^ | 10/31/10 | MIKE ALLEN & JIM VANDEHEI

[Osage Orange]

The RINO elites tried to stop Tom Coburn from being elected here in Oklahoma.

It didn't work....

So..."always been true" doesn't fly bub.

[dforest]

Politico is trying to stir up trouble before Tuesday.

[Al B.]

Ping. This is the article Rush Limbaugh was talking about Friday. Journolister Mike Allen was asking Rush for a comment and he refused, smelling a rat.

Buck up. The battle for the GOP and America starts Wednesday. It's Palin and us vs. the corrupt bastards of the GOP.

[excopconservative]

IF this is true, and remember, this is Politico, then to hell with the GOP

---

Which is Politico’s purpose in publishing it right now a couple of days before the election.

[Gator113]

I am so sick of Politico.

[Gator113]

I am so sick of Politico.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

****and superficial answers when pressed on policy****

As opposed to the deeply meaningful intelligent "hope..hope...hope..change...change...change...teabagger" type rheteric of the Obamatrons.

Keep in mind that Politico Lies so I wonder who they really spoke to in the republican party.

[Cobra64]

Thanks for that Palin photo of Palin showing courage and determination. This is the shot of Palin that FReepers should post.

[FrankR]

I'm just guessing here, but I'm thinking that Americans are just about tired of the good ol' boy approach to running our country...democrat or GOP.

The days of swapping spit with each other are over, and frankly American's are tired of the big four, and eight year power swaps, each party taking their turns.

I hope I am one of many who vow to stick with the principles of the TPM, and push the elites either back in line with the people, or push them out the door.

I am totally sick of the mccains, the romneys, the steeles, and the roves. IF they continue to try and give Sarah the bums' rush and villify her like the democrats they are, I will also back starting a 3rd party.

I don't think either party has come to grips with the power of the TPM yet. I'm sure they're surprised that has stayed together and strengthened this long, but I'm sure they think it will fizzle out after the mid-terms.

It's going to take some shock and awe for the democrats, and some bitch-slapping for the GOP elite before they wake up...then that's what we shall do.

[bboop]

Politico blows hot air.

[Steamburg]

Worth Posting again and again

STOP POSTING DNC PROPAGANDA...

Thank you, Perdogg we are at the time to strike at the very heart of the left with every vote. Let the losers at the DNC do the whining on their own.

[JHBowden]

Peeps, don’t take the progressive bait.

[Maelstorm]

I no longer see Mike as a problem. I realized pretty quickly that much of the out of character of the crap he was saying was really an expression of the sentiment of those behind the scenes in the gop leadership. Personally I think Steele may be an asset now. The person we have to worry about is Haley Barbour.

[Recovering_Democrat]

LOL.

Sarah Palin is a leading spokesbabe for the Tea Party movement. If you trolling office interns for the Republican “Leadership” are taking notes, listen to me:

Embrace the change. Learn to deal with it. If you attack or try to take out the Tea Party or anyone who is credible with the Tea Party, you will be hurting yourself.

Look at what is happening to Charlie Crisp. Do you want that to be your future?

Sarah is a good woman. She may or may not ever get my vote again, but don’t try to take her down. You’ll be hurting your party, your nation, and your own careers. Because the grass roots will not stand for such behavior.

[Memphis Moe]

If there were a something above #1, that would be the priority to get rid of Steele.

Sic semper rinos.

[tennmountainman]

That’s ok because they are next on OUR list....

U got that right. Patriots across the country will have two years to find and vet some great RINO challengers. We now know the dirty tricks these RINO’s will do. And we WILL be prepared. It’s not the end, but the start of taking our country back from the Ruling Class. After Tuesday, it’s onward to 2012.

Next for GOP leaders: Stopping Palin

Next for Tea Partiers for GOP leaders - make them cry "DUDE - WHERE'S MY DONATIONS?!?"

[Darkwolf377]

While I’m always spouting off about country club Republicans, I call BS on this story. I’m sure there are some who do feel this way, but most realize that “stopping Palin” from within would guarantee an Obama second term as disgruntled conservatives split away. It’s not like McCain was beloved throughout the party, or even by all of the party brass.

Sometimes we fall prey to these dark fantasies about plots and intrigue because the web sites need copy. I think even the cretins in the RNC know they have very little control over the candidates’s decisions to get in, and when they have popular appeal, what can they do about it? If McCain wasn’t a disaster, who would be?

Again, not saying Palin doesn’t have enemies. I just think most of this interparty palace intrigue stuff is overblown.

[Mr. Mojo]

Many of these establishment figures argue in not-for-attribution comments that Palin’s nomination would ensure President Barack Obama’s reelection

That's what they say. But the reality is that Palin scares the establishment types because she's the greatest threat to their power. Sarah's the RINO hunter, and they're the hunted.
