Governor Palin Now A Laughing Stock Amongst Beltway Republicans
Conservatives4Palin ^ | 20.04.09 | The Aged P

"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...

Yeah I am also sick and tired of hearing people say that Sarah isn’t “Smart enough” to be in the White House. Well, let’s see, Obama went to Harvard and Columbia, I guess that makes him some kind of intellectual right..didn’t some in the Democratic party call him a genius, someone with an exceptional IQ, let’s see what this genius has done to our country in a matter of a few short months, we are over 11 trillion dollars in debt, this genius goes around the world calling us “Arrogant” and apologizes to anyone who will listen. Bows to a Saudi King and shakes hands not once, but twice with an evil Communist Tyrant. How about for ONCE, we put someone who is sincere, real, and gives a damn about America for a change. Does Sarah Palin have a massive amount of experience, no, but I sure as hell know I’d sleep easier at night having her in the White House instead of someone who buddy buddies with terrorists who want us all dead

I do not consider it a bad thing when a laughing stock considers me a laughing stock. Same probably holds true for her. This may work in her favor. It certainly beefs up the “outsider” perception.

She also had some nice words to say in a campaign letter for the VA candidate. I think his name is McDonald or some thing like that.

Let’s wait and see how much the beltway Romney takes in as compared to SarahPAC. Now that Palin is free to travel, and SarahPAC will become more active in fundraising, I suspect she will outraise Romney, and Huckabee combined by at least 2 to 1, probably more. It’s the GOP who lost out when they announced that they couldn’t wait 2 weeks for the AK legislative session to end for her to commit to their fundraisers.

Sarah Palin & Bobby Jindal drive the Beltway Crowd crazy!

And you just wait, Texas Gov. Rick "Pretty Boy" Perry is positioning himself for reelection and more in my opinion.

That's the claim, anyway. I'll believe it when I see some actual paperwork.

Anything more loathesome than a beltway weasel? I’ve exclusively supported Republicans all my life, but I swear the GOP brand is really starting to nauseate me.

These backstabbing beltway GOP scumbags have been treating Palin like dirt for months now. Regardless of whether or not she will aspire for higher office, she’s been the brightest, the most upbeat, and the most twinkling star the Party has seen in ages... and these IDIOTS treat her like dirt!

I almost hope she just bolts from the GOP (who in blazes could blame her?). I’d bolt right along with her! I’ve had my fill of this snide, backstabbing, elitist crap.

There is a reason we don't donate to the National Republican Party!

John Feehery has worked as a staffer for former House Speaker Dennis Hastert and other Republicans in Congress. He is president of Feehery Group, a Washington-based advocacy firm that has represented clients including News Corp., Ford Motor Company and the United States Chamber of Commerce. He formerly was a government relations executive vice president for the Motion Picture Association of America.

John Feehery:

“Obama also has an inspiring life story, and his election to the highest office in the world represents the best possibilities of the American dream.”

“I also want Obama to succeed. Unlike Rush Limbaugh”

John Feehery:

“But I still like him. And I think many of my fellow Republicans on Capitol Hill are stuck in the same trap. They like the man”

Not one cent of my hard earned cash will go the Republican party and when they call me they better be ready to get an earful.

****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****

The truth is they don’t care about middle America, and they don’t care what it’s like to be a sincere, true to your word politician who actually gives a damn about people.

They just want the perks that come with bashing those who truly want lead people to freedom and prosperity.

They really think the gravy train will run on time forever, as long as those who supply and shovel the coals just shut up and take it.

John Feehery, a Republican consultant!!?? Why do I doubt this? This guy sounds like a Dem operative whose only association with Republicans is that he likes to keep his own money and not pay taxes.

Governor Palin is the best hope for conservatives in 2012 and those who tend to diss her are NEITHER conservative nor Republican. Sarah has more smarts in her little finger than this so-called "Republican consultant" has in his entire body and on his harddrive.
