Ah, rob777, one of FR’s leading Palin bashers. Couldn't have an agenda could you Rob?

Sarah Palin has done far more to promote the Tea Party than the Tea Party has done to promote Sarah Palin.

"Couldn't have an agenda could you Rob?"


Now that you mention it, I do have an agenda. That agenda is to ensure that the Tea Party remains an independent movement not tied to any particular personality. it would be easier to discredit the Tea Party movement if it can be tied to a single personality in the eyes of the public like the pro-freedom movement of 1994 was seen as tied to Newt Gingrich. When the media took out Gingrich, it damaged the credibility of the pro-freedom movement. I do not want to give them a single convenient target. The media's success in driving up Sarah's negatives can only be an anchor tied to the Tea Party if she is being portrayed as the face of the movement. I think that they are intentionally trying to use guilt by association to discredit the movement. Finally, just to make it clear, I do not want to see any of the other candidates to be seen as the face of the movement either.
