Palin is right. ‘Enough is enough’
The Washington Post's Post Partisan ^ | February 20, 2014 | Jonathan Capehart, editorial board member & columnist

Sarah Palin’s tweet was simple enough. “Enough is enough,” she wrote. So, I clicked on the link thinking I’d read yet another mindless yet lengthy musing from Mama Grizzly. Not sure why, but I was disappointed to read the equivalent of cotton candy. It was a mouthful whose substance disappears the moment you start to chew on it.

Enough is enough...

“The permanent political class in D.C. won’t listen. So, let’s start putting our efforts behind good new candidates who will go to Washington not to line their own pockets, but to help restore our country. It’s time to put inspiration, ingenuity, and integrity over incumbency in the GOP.”

For a Republican Party already living in fear of its far-right flank, pronouncements from Palin can’t be helpful. It’s not that she holds as much sway today as she did as the 2008 vice presidential nominee. There’s just no denying that she gives voice to the fear-driven incoherent dissatisfaction gripping the base of the GOP....

I did. It didn’t take much time, but what little it did I want back.

Jonathan Capehart and his gay boyfriend, Nick Schmidt.

What Capehart writes is no cotton candy. However, it is nothing you want to chew on. It stinks!

I was fascinated by the comments to Capehart's piece. To these leftist quislings, working towards less government is not doing anything. Their world is a marching towards Utopia with homo rainbows in the sky.

The thought that their ruling elite politicians are lining their pockets is OK and the way government works makes me worried they will put in monsters who will steal America into poverty. That Fox News will expose their icons makes them sick. One of them even made an ageist remark saying the Fox viewers are all over 68 and soon they'll be dead along with Fox News. The wisdom of age has left these fools to listen to homos like Capehart and close their eyes and ears to mental giants like Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz. Such are kids in need of a trip to the woodshed.

One writer is still critical of Sarah Palin because she quit her office as governor. That Zer0-bot did not read up as to the circumstances of Sarah's resignation. It is typical of their make believe world in the Land of the Unicorn.

No, the GOP is not in fear of their right flank, because if they were, they wouldn’t be going well out of their way to irritate their right flank.

Fax me some of that dope, it must be some strong $#*+!!
So you would've turned down the Republican nomination for the vice-presidency, had it been offered you? And you know nothing about the venomous hatred that rained down upon her & her family from the day she hit the spotlight in 2008 until today? No one, not Richard Nixon, either Bush, Dan Quayle, Mitt Romney or anyone else has been the subject of so much animus on a 24/7/365 schedule. They burned her church down to the ground with women and children still inside! They planted a tell-all muckracking author in the house next door (where he could peer into little Piper's room) for a whole Summer. They crowdsourced thousands of readers and reporters to go through her e-mails. They accused her of having an affair with a black basketball player and said that her special needs son didn't really belong to her. If 10% of that had happened to Hillary or Barack, they'd be in a sanatorium!

I wonder how many people here will click on the link and read the rest of the article.

I did not care to give the website a hit. Curious about your curiosity. What does it mean to you if a FReeper chooses not to read the whole article before posting?

I am SO sick of hearing liberals and rino’s whine about “compromise”.

OK. I got crosswise with the sect a couple weekends ago and got in trouble because I used a poor word for something....

I have to do some background. The GOP in AZ is, as it is in most states (and truth be told, so are the Rats) a fossilized community. They can’t help it, it’s their condition. But I digress (worse, it’s in the middle of background digression). The GOP of AZ has a mandatory annual meeting of State Committeemen, where I’ve been a delegate and it’s awful. Important votes are whipped as the floor is told how to vote on just about everything. Lots and lots of mundane bi-rules amendments and stuff. But every January-February, there we are, a few hundred of us.

Well, this most recent one, a proposal came up on the floor: An official Party statement was offered, and not by the Party leadership, but by the Members on the floor, to Censure John McCain. As a parliamentary rule, if 20% of the delegates sign a petition, a resolution can be brought up in the convention. 20% was achieved easily for a Censure of John McCain for being with the Democrats on all the important issues of the day. (IOW, a RINO)

The movement passed. John McCain was Censured by the AZGOP, cutting him off from any Party funding. There was much rejoicing. Finally vindicated, after all these years of being publicly trashed by McCain, and now Flake, day after day!

A day later, Sarah Palin released a statement that was highly critical of the floor Proposal, highly critical of TEA Party principles. She rode in to the rescue of McCain, denouncing the Censure of McCain by the AZGOP.

It has taken years of work by conservatives to get the deadweight Party apparatus to wake up and object to McCain and his back-stabbing ways, then Sarah Palin parachutes into Arizona and badmouths us for doing so. All that hard work, wiped out in an instant in a FaceBook post.

One Big “Aw Shit!”

I’m really close to thinking we are down to just one of those boxes.

The smugness of these Washington types would be more tolerable if they had actually accomplished something in their lives.

What has this guy ever accomplished that causes him to look down upon us?

And what does your post have to do with the “price of tea in China” or my post.

Nothing.

“Parachutes” into Arizona? She’s a homeowner there and pays Arizona taxes, same as you.

I reserve the right to disagree with anyone without joining a groupthink collective.

Funny, I thought that was a hallmark of conservatism.

I even think Reagan got some things wrong. Does that mean I support Obamacare?

I hate to break this to you, but I’ve heard from various reliable sources that the Founders actually disagreed with each other!

I know, shocking, huh?

True, and a long-winded snark at that. Guess Alinsky-style attacks need maximum effort from minimal brainpower.

Parachutes. She has a house here, but does not live here, same as me. I’d have been pretty ticked off even if she really did live here, and paid taxes, just like me. That she does not apparently means nothing.
