Fight Like A Girl
Legal Insurrection ^ | April 17, 2011 | William A. Jacobson,

Fight Like A Girl

In using that term, Sarah Palin issued a political call to action directed at the men who rule the Republican Party:
"We didn’t elect you just to rearrange the deck chairs on a sinking Titanic," Palin said during a rally in front of the Wisconsin statehouse in Madison. "What we need from you, GOP, is to fight." Pointing to the national champion University of Wisconsin women's hockey team, Palin said the GOP could learn from its resolve and “needs to learn how to fight like a girl."
But the phrase signaled far more.  Palin acknowledged what those of us who have followed the Tea Party movement have known for a long time:  Women have been the driving force and energy behind the Tea Party movement.

But even more than that, Palin took a phrase usually considered an insult and turned it into a compliment.

In one sentence, Palin did more to advance the cause of women in politics than all the Women's Studies Ph.D's in all the universities in this country combined.

Update: Sissy Willis reminds us of the day.  Be sure to watch the video of pre-nominee "drill baby drill" talk. I just paid $68 to fill my car this morning. How much longer until they come out with one of those automobile windmills?

I’ve known some women with a sharp tongue, but Sarah Palin knows how to turn a phrase into a rusty screwdiver stuck in your kidney. I hope she runs.

What’s Obama’s response to this going to be? “If they bring a girl, we’ll bring a tranny?”

This woman has it all! Any man with a a sane mind and reasonable amount of testosterone would cherish a woman like this, imo!

First, we get rid of the Boehners, the Grahams and the McConnells

Boy oh boy........ I love it when I hear talk like that! Like Trent Lott said about Tea Party candidates, “we need to co-opt them” when they get here (to DC). Well, guess what boys. You too, can be replaced with a good conservative.
