Hi Reagan69. Thank you - this fighting is getting ridiculous! We should have the freedom to express our opinions and to repect others opinions. And you are right - 2010 is our priority RIGHT NOW.
What is a Brian Shoemake ?
Are you saying the Tea Party Express wasn’t selling items there?
So you decide who addresses YOUR Tea Party. Don;’t tell the Nevada Tea Parties and the Tea Party Express(who organized this event), who they should or shouldn't invite to THEIR rallies. Get it?
My gawd, you think it was all about selling t-shirts?
Get help. Seriously, there are some very good new anti-pyschotic meds out nowadays.
The tone of the article is that of a drama queen.
Check out post 63 if you want a good laugh.
McCain did such terrible damage to us - you have no idea. You are about to lose your country because of McCain-Feingold. That illegal law put the Democrats in total control. Bush should have veto’ed it.
McCain is evil. He called Americans against Amnesty “racists.” He uses the same methods as Obama.
She needs to be “loyal” to conservatives not a Democrat trojan horse like McCain.
I like her. I think she is great but the McCain thing is wrong.
Just keep drinking the Kool-Aid Alice. From a member of the First Coast Tea Party (JAX, FL) get this into your head;
THE TEA PARTY IS NOT ABOUT ANY ONE PERSON AND THE MEDIA IS DESPIRATE TO LABEL ONE. DON’T FEED THE BEARS (MSM)
Sarah’s first timeline commitment was to make some campaign appearances for Juan because she lives by her commitments and promises. I am holding my tongue in support of her until this phase passes. If she were set in concrete with the McCain campaign do you ever think she would have been permitted to speak at a Tea Party event when it is the Tea Party in Arizona who is against McCain?
Her second timeline commitment is to supporting “common-sense conservatives” to run for office and win with SarahPAC. She made the announcement she would be doing some appearances in March for the McCain campaign and now that time is past. Please join with me and others on cutting her a little slack until we see what she does from here on out. She has said she is looking at supporting Rubio from SarahPAC. If that does or does not happen will be some indicator but one now has to wonder if Marco is actively seeking that endorsement since McCain has endorsed Crist. Plus Marco is plastering Charlie’s keester so he may very well no need it.
She lived up to her promises to this point, now the real test begins for us to determine if she warrants our support in the future.
The GOP has been successful in taking what at first was a genuine grass roots movement and co-opted it.
If you try actually reading the article instead of mindlessly emoting how much you hate McCain and everyone even remotely associated with him you see it all though this article.
Basically the whole argument in this article boils down to "whaaa people don't share my emotion based based opinions about Palin, Whaa!"
There is not one serious, thoughtful statement in this article.
It is just a collection childish bitching and personal attacks directed at everyone who does not worship the same political dogmas this author does.
If this guy is such a great political intellect and heavy weight, tell him to get off his ass and get in the fight rather then just sitting at his computer endlessly whining hysterically at everyone else who IS in the fight for not being 100% in lockstep with HIS personal political opinions.
This author is a perfect example of what is wrong with the "Conservative" elements of the Establishment Media. They are all gutless afraid to ever attack the Leftists on anything. So, instead of ever getting in the fight, they all sit on their asses bitching endlessly about this supposed flaw or that supposed flaw in their own side.
Not even Reagan in ‘79 and ‘80 aroused the kind of mass hysteria that Palin has since she came on the scene (and the same can be said for Obama).
I’m from Alabama. There’s only one politician in Alabama history that has ever drawn rock star crowds. My father did business with his administrations. I also know that the energy he generated ended up making him a target and he was shot on May 15, 1972 while working the crowd.
And understand that he used that popular frenzy that he whipped up among the ordinary people of the state to rule it by fiat for 25 years. My father was with Wallace for the whole time. He grew to personally like him but the main reason was always that you were either in with Wallace or you were shut out of the process. On a single command Wallace could get the legislature to do whatever he wanted and in the 60s if you defied Wallace, you were soon portrayed as an “enemy of normal Alabamians”
Sorry if I don’t want to see that aspect of Wallacism repeated on the national level.
You hit the nail right on the head!
I happen to be a Palin supporter and wouldn’t have voted McCain had Palin not been on the ticket. My reference to Palin haters is aimed at the American Thinker for publishing such a divisive hit piece.
What are you, eight?
I can’t believe a thinking person would write “I was sadly disillusioned at the lack of criticism toward the former Alaska Governor and Republican Party “Cover Girl,” Sarah Palin.” What rock has this guy been living under? Palin has been criticised, defamed, marginalized and berated in a hundred different ways by the media ever since she came on the scene. I am sadly disillusioned that anyone could be so uninformed and make such idiotic and outrageous statements and expect anyone to take him seriously. And therein lies the
problem with liberals, just incapable of dealing with reality.
I agree. McCain is bad for this country, he needs to go, and there is no loyalty which should outrank loyalty to the good of the nation, except loyalty to God. I can’t imagine George Washington, or any of the Founding Fathers, putting “loyalty” to a fellow politician over loyalty to the nation. They were considered “traitors” against King George, after all, and they certainly didn’t hate him personally-most were torn over the decision to outright rebel against Britain. But the good of the not-yet-born nation came before their personal discomfort in taking that stand.
BWAHAHA! You're killing me!
I don’t see Romneybots or Paulinistas energizing the population.

They’re sitting on the sidelines, sniping away to ease their jealousy that their candidate isn’t receiving similar attention and huge crowds.
