"Where is she heading? She is going to get her own reality show, not the White House," said John Feehery, a Republican consultant. "There a lot of big challenges in this country and how can she handle them if she can barely handle her own family?"
And there we have it – those powerful Republican circles, none more influential than John Feehery. Mr Feehery was, of course, a staffer for former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, who endorsed Mitt Romney last year. Though retired from politics he is still the Don Corleone of the GOP, a man who can make or break any aspiring politician with a mere flicker of his eyelid. Hastert also had no trouble handling his own family, especially his lobbyist son Joshua... Feehery’s connection with Hastert also makes him an expert on electioneering – just ask all those Republican candidates who disinvited Hastert from campaign appearances on their behalf in the 2006 election.
Yes, nobody better placed to give an opinion on Governor Palin than a Beltway lobbyist who blogs for CNN Politics and tells Republicans they can only beat Obama by liking him...

Another reason not to give to the national party.
Beltway republicans are a sad, sad joke to patriotic Americans.
Reason #17 why I’m not giving one thin dime to the GOP until they purge their ranks of worthless POSs like this.
See, this is why I am SO sick of the Republican party. Whatever happened to the “Never speak ill of someone in your own party?” I guess that is all out the door now. So Sarah is not welcomed in the Washington beltway..well, let me say how I feel about that in two simple words...
THANK GOD!!
I don’t know what the hell happened to the GOP but even the Democrats don’t bash fellow Democrats. This crap about how Sarah’s family should be on “Jerry Springer” Ok, so I guess Ronald Reagan’s family should be there too, didn’t his daughter pose for Playboy..How about Obama’s family, let’s see, his aunt is an illegal alien, his half brother lives in a hut, and the other one is accused of raping a 13 year old, if that isn’t Jerry Springer I don’t know what is. Geez Sarah can’t even rely on her own party to back her up. It’s like the saying goes “With friends like these who needs enemies.” Let’s face facts, the GOP Establishment will NEVER support Sarah Palin because they just don’t get it..they don’t understand middle America, they don’t understand what it’s like to be a sincere, true to your word politician who actually gives a damn about people. If Ronald Reagan were alive today, I wonder what he would think of these ass clowns who come out and say these horrible things about a fellow Republican..I bet he would be disgusted and want out of the party..It’s time to create a new party, until that is done nothing is gonna change. The GOP doesn’t get it and probably never will
beltway insiders preaching to beltway insiders.
FOLKS TAKE OVER THE GOP LOCALS!
The locals are the key
CONTROL THE LOCAL GOP AND YOU CONTROL THE NATIONAL GOP.
This is all about the aristocratic insiders.
They are nothing more than money grubbing wannabes who like to lay low and let the Democrats steal the cash and perks for them. They just do not have the stones to steal the stuff themselves since they are liars who hide behind false conservatism while letting their Democrat friends do the dirty work.
they polled the political elite about the tea parties, not one thought they were very positive. not one.
Perhaps the Don Corleone of the GOP might want to get a clue. A clue as to the fact that We the People are sick and tired of beltway pols.
John Feehery, you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
Stay retired and keep your mouth shut.
Your Header is misleading, it should have followed by says the London Daily Telegraph.
I know you are getting use to posting having just been back since 2004
What a load of BS, jus as I said in another post about Congress Woman Bachmann this is clear evidence that the Republican party has lost touched with the people who they need to support it! Time to thin the herd of unwanted rino’s!
“Palin-Bachmann-2012
Give estrogen a chance”
Dear RINOs of the Beltway. Prepare for being a short lived minority.
I would SO support that ticket. I absolutely adore Michelle Bachmann..she is my 2nd favorite female politician(other then Sarah of course :-)
well the RINO’s have control of the national party right now. we conservatives need to organize our own faction within the GOP.
Sounds like Sarah is about as welcome among Beltway Republicans as Beltway Republicans are in my home!!!
hh
The fight right now needs to center on getting rid of rino's, not Obama and the dems...they won, rino's are losers!
If you notice, you seldom hear that an average person dislikes her. It’s always the MSM, the nutroots, political punidts or GOP elitists or RINO’s who voice this opinion.
Believe me if the establishment could stop the flow of funds to SarahPAC they would. SarahPAC is truly a grassroots movement.
The difference between Sarah and the rinos, is that Sarah doesn’t need to work to get the conservative base, whereas the rinos need to work for it. That also means that Sarah has more real support than your average rino.
Overall, size does matter, and those idiots are envious.
