“fitness video”

I thought she and her daughter was writing a fitness book. Don’t trivialize that. Lack of fitness, obesity, etc., are a big problem.

And what exactly has the GOP Establishment done for us lately? Given us McCain, Romney, George Allen, etc. The GOP-E are happy to take pot shots as unidentified sources and stab folks in the back. They are not leaders. They are bean counters and bureaucrats who are enamored with themselves. I learned at Benning a long time ago that no one ever managed a wet, cold, tired and hungry soldier under fire onto the objective. Takes leadership, which the Republican Party has been lacking for a long time. We need wholesale change from top to bottom.

"And Sarah was never our Savior. You give it but can’t take it, wuss! You know about her video, I don’t. So it’s not out yet but you are saying you think it will be a failure. You are the failure, stop projecting, diddly!"

******************************************

I can take it, sling whatever you want at this "wuss". You really have a problem and I feel for you. If Palin thought she could change all this and she was so brave, she would have. She didn't. Have a cry, baby. It may help you.

Cry Baby

Sarah could not have won this election. America has rejected the socially conservative message. That is why Akin and Murdock lost.

Unless the social fabric of the nation would change, a conservative has no chance. Face it, people voted against their own religions that frown on lefty social issues.

I would not be surprised if some of those Obama fraud cheaters put on their “goin’ to Church hats” this Sunday and feel no shame.

Probably about the best we could get anymore would be a strong appealing Liberatarian. Soft on social issues and strong on the economy.

This country no longer rejects corruption as long as they can all participate in it. Let me say this, I got a call from my son a few days ago. He was grading graduate school students. He uncovered massive cheating on these tests.

This is what we are dealing with. People do not care. They want the good grade even if they did not earn it. They did not achieve anything and they didn’t work too hard. All were probably capable, but it is easier to take the slacker way to that diploma.

We have a group mentality now. People are following the pack. As long as everybody is doing it, well, what the hell, so will I.

Another thing, they don’t care about wars and they don’t care about the troops. It is volunteer in their minds and they think the people that serve are goofy.

Here is the sad note. When a coming war is forced upon them, they will crap their pants because the military will be a fazed out shell of itself and the lefties will have to force them to fight. They are going to lose, they just don’t know it yet.

If this sounds cynical, don’t fool yourself, it isn’t.

I feel for you

Liberals are all about feelings. Don't have a breakdown and get all teary because you didn't get what you wanted but got what you deserve! Four years of hard labor for you for failing to pass the test! You won't have any conservatives to kick around anymore, you are in different hands now - for good! So Enjoy!

So McCain's former campaign manager is NOT part of the GOP-E?

If by elite you mean people who rose to their level of incompetence, cashed in retiring to PR and left active campaign work,, "elite," then yes.

That's a pretty low bar for elite, we call them "has beens." Personally, I would require that GOP elite status indicate some kind of serious power in the GOP.

Romney told Schmidt in 2009 that he would always have a place at his table.

I'm pretty certain everyone, liberals included tell him nice things. He's got a place at my table too. Provided he doesn't eat too much or bring guests.

A discussion with someone who doesn’t know the GOP wouldn’t support Sarah - LOL!! You have years of catching up, if it’s even possible.

Does this count as an endorsement?..

Ummm, honestly, no. It's an invitation to not be invited to the convention.

Amazing yet laughable comment. I'll change it to never catching up. And repeating my words won't make it happen. Keep on failing. You are too used to believing those in power to guide you. It appears you do not have a 'think for yourself brain cell' left.

Good bye, lost cause.

Moderates DESPISE her.

I know, I read your post. Despise her all you want, you will not have another conservative ever. You and your ilk are in the 'learn the hard way' column.
