Republican Party should move away from Sarah Palin, Tea Party (A Doozy from the Left Coast)
The Daily 49'er: The Student Publication of Cal State Long Beach ^ | September 21, 2010 | Gerry Wachovsky

Poor Sarah Palin. She's a soccer mom with big dreams, but she just can't seem to take a hint. And, now with the tea party gaining momentum and witchcraft being used by one of its backed politicians, the political landscape of this country is really becoming laughable — especially the right-oriented side

Sarah Palin doesn't have a chance if she does decide to run for president in two years. Everyone seems to know this but her.

I truly believe that Palin's presence in the last election deeply hurt John McCain's presidential bid and the numbers don't lie, either. The people voted and the people were heard: Palin and McCain lost while Obama and Biden tasted the sweet nectar of victory.

Don't misunderstand my words here. Palin has not officially announced a presidential bid for the 2012 election. The signs are pointing to yes, however, and she seems to fancy herself a legitimate voice on Republican issues, in a party that is flailing and seems to be losing credibility every day.

Claiming that "deflated" beltway pundits are peddling false information and lies and hurting the country, Palin spoke on Friday in Iowa detailing her problems with the mainstream media. No stranger to media attention, Palin is just as guilty as the ones she points her finger at.

The media attention showered on Palin has actually given her the idea that she can run for president while everyone, including the Republican party, knows that she is just a sideshow act. There may be a woman president some point in America's future, but that woman won't be Palin.

And while I'm on the Republican party, let me mention its bastard child, the teabag party...whoops, I mean tea party. Has anyone else reading this had just about enough of this stupid group of populist morons who are around to simply throw a wrench into the already screwed up machine of American politics?

Every so often we hear from Ralph Nader and the Greenies, isn't that enough? Do we really need to see teabaggers — I mean tea partiers — commenting on every little Obama misstep and gaffe, as if they suddenly have all the answers to the problems of America?

The funniest thing I saw in the news last week was the story about Christine O'Donnell, Delaware tea party-backed Republican who recently defeated Mike Castle in the Republican U.S. Senate primary, admitting to having "dabbled" in witchcraft.

Yeah, witchcraft. You know, the "double double toil and trouble" chanters who cast spells and create potions with magical properties?

Speaking at a GOP picnic on Sunday, O'Donnell made light of the whole witchcraft thing saying, "If there was [any more witchcraft], Karl Rove would be a supporter now."

According to the Associated Press, Rove believes that O'Donnell's victory cost the Republicans "a chance to retake the Senate seat long held by Democrat Joe Biden before he was elected vice president."

Whether or not that's true doesn't really matter, though, because what happened, happened.

Republicans need to learn that people like Sarah Palin and offshoot groups like the tea party are only detrimental to their party's well being.

If Sarah Palin really attempts a presidential bid in 2012, she's going to need one of O'Donnell's potions, a Ouija board and some dastardly spells to have any true chance at the presidency..

I’m not shy about mentioning that I’m not a supporter of a Palin presidential run...but the idea presented here is that WE should become more like THEM. This is insane. It’s not going to happen (I hope).

We should take their advice. These are the same people who told us to pick McCain, and that worked out well.

These leftist punks live in their own little ideal world and have no idea of how absolutely stupid they come across to normal people. Right now they are probably shaking each others hands and telling each other how brilliant they are to come up with this. I’m coming to the conclusion that abortion is just fine for liberal democrats.

The left will ALWAYS indirectly telegraph to the public who the best candidate for the GOP presidential nomination should be.

“Republicans need to learn that people like Sarah Palin and offshoot groups like the tea party are only detrimental to their party’s well being.”

Yeah, cause they did so bad Tuesday. To this “journolist” wannabe: Ya might want to look up the last time one party won this many of the other party’s incumbent House and Senate seats. Of course, those mere facts would probably make your head explode, so nevermind...

I love watching Democrats like Russ Feingold get teabagged, especially RINOs like Charlie Crist.

That said, Sarah Palin will never be President of the United States.

A wet-nosed kid who’s never done anything in his life presumes to lecture a party he isn’t a member of how best to comport itself. That advice is worth every penny we paid for it.

See why liberalism is a mental disorder? Betcha they still dont get why the Dumocraps got their asses kicked on Tuesday.
