I’ve said this before — something I’m really really sick of, that keeps appearing here on Free Republic in comments on Gov. Palin: the notion that she has to “grow.” It’s a word that means nothing, & is a sop to the Noonan’s & libs in this world. If we want Palin to grow, don’t we wish even more fervently that Obama would “grow”? What about Biden? For that matter, what about poor crazed Peggy Noonan? Do we want Palin quoting Niebuhr, to give a tingle up Brooks’ trousers? Who is she growing for? Why? To get more nuanced about life issues? Iraq and foreign policy? Gay marriage? Do we think she’s too direct in the way she expresses herself, and needs a little more around-Robin-Hood’s-barn articulation, more like (say) Biden?

My view is that not only are Palin’s “instincts” right, her whole conceptual world-view is right. If she’s right, then what growth does she need?

Sorry about the rant. I’m not flaming you. Just tired of us giving way to these people when they give nothing back to us. Especially on something like “grow,” which has no quantifiable meaning, except what our opponents give it.

You are spot on with your comments about Sarah.

These RINOS can’t recognize natural leadership if it fell on their pointy little heads.

If the GOP can’t win against a Communist thug from Chicago and a brain dead liberal from Delaware they deserve to go the fate of the Whigs.

We’ll form a new conservative third party, and put Sarah into the White House in the future while the RINOS kvetch about her and their new found irrelevance.

There is no quantifiable meaning. It is a word which is used by the snooty set to decide you are not as perfect as they are. Commonly the purview of jealous bitches who wish for a day they could enjoy the popularity the targeted individual has.

Publius, I’m with you. I keep thinking of Andrew Jackson, and for that matter, Abe Lincoln and all the other back-woods folks. Give me common sense, straight-thinking, tangle-tongued people who know how to get the work done, and I will vote for them over a snotty Harvard brat any day.

And while we’re at it, let’s put those New York Fire Department guys in the Senate, (from the Nextel ad).

THEN we can get things done right.

Amen. Whenever a so called conservative Freeper posts the hit pieces from these Rino Beltway A$$holes without a disclaimer, we need to be all over them.

I gave up on these elite phoney Republicans in 1992. They get paychecks for appearing on ABCNNBCBS as worthless and spineless Republicans.

George Will, Noonan and the rest of these Benedict Arnolds are so out of touch with the rest of us, they have morphed into Rats pretending to be Republicans.

You know, I agree with you. I am so sick and tired of what I call the East Coast/NYC view. Recently, I have been watching the Law & Order reruns. I like the story but the one thing that sticks out is that NYC I know better than the locals attitude. That the people are not to be trusted to run their lives. I see it on some FNC programs - specifically O’Reilly but I even catch it from Brit Hume.
