Sarah Palin and the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy that is out to get her

June 16, 2011 | techno

Around the time that President Clinton got into hot water with Monica Lewinsky in 1998, wife Hillary coined the phrase "vast right-wing conspiracy" to denote the supposed nefarious, political forces that were determined to bring her husband down and cause him to leave office.

Personally I think Hillary was a bit off in her assessment of Clinton's enemies (personally I think Bill Clinton was his own worse enemy)but 13 years later I think we do have a vast right-wing conspiracy set up to derail the Presidential ambitions of Sarah Palin.

In the past I focused more on the Left and Obama and his war room and their evil use of Alinsky tactics to destroy and eliminate their enemies and their spouses (what Cheri Daniels was afraid of) but recently I believe the Left and Obama have their own problems to deal with like getting Obama re-elected despite falling poll numbers and decided to leave it in the hands of the Right, but giving the MSM and MSM pollsters free rein to help the Right anyway they can to dispatch Sarah Palin from the presidential battlefield.

I believe this vast right-wing conspiracy was probably hatched sometime before the debate in the back rooms and officially launched once the debate ended and especially after Bachmann exceeded expectations in the debate.

Now how do I know it is vast, that it is of right-wing origin and a conspiracy.

First let me define a conspiracy: a group of people planning, scheming or agreeing in secret to commit an illegal, subversive or wrongful act

We all know who the right-wing is: GOP establishment and party hierarchy types, Bushies, traditional Republicans, neocons, lobbyists, Beltway RINO's, Rockefeller elitists, Fox News executives, right-wing talk show hosts (not Rush, Sean, or Mark), prominent right-wing bloggers (Daily Caller, Hot Air, townhall.com) etc.

And vast: great in size, amount, extend or degree

Now here are 10 reasons why I think I stumbled onto a vast right-wing conspiracy:

1)Rumors that are afloat that Jeb Bush wants to run in 2016 and to ensure he has clear sailing to the nomination his allies in this venture (including the Bush 43 team) want to ensure Romney gets the GOP nomination because they know he will lose to Obama.

2)A blackout on declaring any good polling news about Sarah Palin after the debate. The Econ/yougov poll got in under the radar undetected. The results should not have gotten out that Palin was 6 points ahead of Romney in that poll. Note Romney's numbers with NBC/WSJ and Rasmussen--in the 30's.

3) Ed Rollins, on behalf of Michele Bachmann savagely attacking Sarah Palin without provocation

4)Rumors of Michele Bachmann being a stalking horse for Mitt Romney brought together by Karl Rove

5)Rasmussen polling the GOP presidential contenders without including Sarah Palin in the mix which was egregious since the Real Clear Politics average of polls shows her alone in 2nd spot. (see below)

6)No mention in the media after the debate about Romney's two major weaknesses--Romneycare, forgeting that it ever existed and Romney not playing well to very conservative and evangelical voters.

7) Right-wing talk radio and Fox News promoting a Romney-Bachmann ticket or implying that Bachmann is Romney's main challenger when the polls tell us this is not close to being accurate. Even noted Bachmann basher, Chris Matthews of MSNBC has jumped on her bandwagon. That definitely has to raise some red flags. And Leftist Joan Walsh of Salon has also weighed in asking Herman Cain to leave the race in order to boost Michele Bachmann.

8)An article today by Jennifer Jacobs of the Iowa Caucuses speculating on where many undecided former Huckabee supporters might end up in terms of a new political home and not mentioning Palin's name once as a possible destination. Every poll before Huckabee left the race, when asking for second choices hypothetically if Huck were not in the mix picked Sarah Palin as their #1 alternative.

9)Totally negative "programmming" about Sarah Palin by the media and round-the-clock memes she is not running or being completely disingenuous in not considering her a major player or a threat to Mitt Romney.

10)Little commentary after the debate from right-wing media that commented favorably about Palin, and that she appears to be vindicated after the media did not find anything going through 24,000 pages of e-mails.

Now for the record folks as I write this according to Real Clear Politics, Romney's average is 24.4, Palin's is 16.0, Cain is at 9.3 and Bachmann is at 6.3.

Note: Rudy Giuliani is averaging 11 but was only included in 3 of the 9 polls to calculate the average.

Who is entrenched in 2nd place in the polls? Sarah Palin. Who has finished first or tied for first in 3 separate polls post-Huckabee (PPP June 2, Reuters/Ipsos, and Econ/yougov)? Sarah Palin Who according to CNN's last poll now is supported by 27% of GOP primary female voters? Sarah Palin.

As of last week in the Iowa Report weekly survey who was tied for the lead in support with Mitt Romney in respect to the Iowa Caucuses? Palin 19%, Romney 19%

Not Michele Bachmann. She was at 12%.

Never in the history of the GOP primaries has a person finished a consistent second and an occasional first in so many polls and gotten so little attention but instead massive disdain.

Yes this is a conspiracy of silence to shut out Sarah Palin from the political conversation, a conspiracy to promote Michele Bachmann as a viable Presidential candidate through smoke and mirrors and finally a conspiracy whose only purpose is to prevent Sarah Palin from entering the race.

Look at the number of players involved: is is a conspiracy.

Yes it is right-wing. That is so obvious.

And yes it is vast. It is nationwide.

Now you may ask why?

This is simple. If Sarah Palin does not enter the presidential race, Mitt Romney will win the GOP nomination--no ifs, and or buts. And the elements involved in this vast right-wing conspiracy all know it and are heavily invested to making damned sure it happens.

But they don't want you to know that is their end game because if it ever got out it could split the party wide open.

But they also know they have a very narrow window of opportunity to torpedo Sarah Palin for she could enter the Presidential race at any time over the next 4-6 weeks. And then there is that damned movie The Undefeated which many right-wing prominent bloggers have seen and say it has the potential to rehabilitate her image. Fail to take her out now and Romney might end up losing the nomination to her once she hits the ground running. The stakes are just too high right now to fiddle around with such a charismatic politician like Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin must be eliminated. Hillary Clinton, you were right about a vast right-wing conspiracy but you were 13 years premature to calling attention to it. This one is real. Your's wasn't.

Thanks. I was going to include the delay in disclosing the results of the HA poll and the Iowa report survey.

I’m glad I didn’t. But it doesn’t mean the vast right-wing conspiracy to stop Sarah Palin isn’t real.

[gotaz]

Totally agree. I was telling my husband the exact same thing. Shame on these guys! I heard or read something about Rove and Bachman at some event and said then Bachman was a set-up for the establishment. I liked her but I don’t like this AT ALL. When you add in Rove, Rollins and the rest, this makes for a stinky pile of you know what. Shame on them!

This is simple. If Sarah Palin does not enter the presidential race, Mitt Romney will win the GOP nomination--no ifs, and or buts.

Did every other conservative in the United States of America get taken away by a UFO?

Considering that 65% of all voters have stated they will "definitely NOT vote for Sarah Palin", surely, in a country of over 300 million, there must be at least one conservative candidate that does not guarantee Barack Hussein Obama an easy reelection with such utterly toxic poll numbers.

Of all the debaters in the recent Republican debate, most American voters would choose "None of the Above".

Bill Clinton did not announce his first winning candidacy until October of the year before the election. The GOP has until around October of 2011 to attract a strong conservative candidate whose poll numbers are not lower than whale scat at the bottom of the ocean and who can actually defeat Obama.

If not, we will have either RINO Romney or Marxist Obama as the President for the next four years.

Very well put together and spot on Techno.

All you have to do is to examine the vast array of polls post-Huckabee (not the Rasmussen poll today which did not include Palin).

Here are the results of 10 polls since the June 2 PPP poll that show Palin entrenched in second spot:

ROMNEY PALIN DIFF NEXT DIFF FROM PALIN

ABC/WAPO-—21————17—— -4———8-———— -9

QUINNPIAC—25————15-—— -10——9-———— -6

REUTERS/IP-18————19-—— +1-——8———— -11

FOX————23————12-—— -11——13-————+1

FDU————26————11-—— -15——9————— -2

USA/GALL-—24————16-—— -8-——9————— -7

CNN————24————20-—— -4——12————— -8

ECON/YG——14————20-—— +6——11-———— -9

NBC/WSJ——30————14-—— -16-—12-———— -2

PPP————22————15-—— -7——17-———— +2

AVG————22.7-——15.9

No one else is averaging double digits who was included on the ballot in each poll.

Yes, if Sarah Palin does not win, Mitt Romney will be the nominee of the GOP next year. In addition with Palin not in the mix, polls show that he actually widens his lead on the field.

But even with Palin in the field Romney’s gap on the rest of the field by 13-15 points is really insurmountable for them.

The only person with a reasonable chance of catching Mitt Romney is Sarah Palin. The numbers speak for themselves.

I agree with most of your conclusions, but I don't agree with calling it a "Right Wing" conspiracy. It is a conspiracy among the "elite" Georgetown Cocktail Party set both Republican and Democrat against the Country Party -- which is pretty much the rest of America.

Sarah represents such a clear and present danger to the established political order that no effort is being spared on her destruction.

In her they see an essential threat to their cozy control of things. A control that evolved over the last hundred years and one they are determined to maintain; a control that allows them to play the partisan game in public, while being good buddies in private.

The way things stand now, the political infrastructures of both major parties depend; absolutely depend, on allegiance to an unwritten yet ironclad system of pragmatic give and take whereby they wrestle for power in just a few arenas, while simultaneously, both sides quietly work to ensure that nothing threatens the other side's lock on their respective bases.

It is truly ironic that -- while the Democrats claim to support the poor and the Republicans claim to support the middle class -- the ruling elite of both parties consists primarily of hereditary millionaires who have become a virtual aristocracy!

Sarah, with her working class credentials, her small business experience, and her hard fought for and hard won university degree, threatens that.

She did not attend the right universities, she did not join the right clubs, she did not do yeoman labor in the campaign office trenches, serve as a congressional aide, intern at the right companies or do ANY of the things that political scions are expected to in preparation for elective office.

It's not so much that outsiders can't join, it's that at some point in time they must indicate willingness to accept the established order -- and that is something Sarah refuses to do.

Sarah epitomizes the Tea Party as it appears to the average American voter in ways so basic they actually find it hard to articulate. She works hard, she plays hard. She has a big family with at least one kid that really needs a good kick up the pants, and another kid that has special needs. She has a husband she loves and who loves her and is not afraid of anything on God’s green Earth.

No other contender even comes close. We have to have Sarah this time around.

Hey Polybius, you can ditch your fabricated poll now.

[9YearLurker]

Clinton announced late in a year when nobody wanted to go against Poppy and so there was no front-runner. Also, back in 1992 the primaries still started a couple of months later than they do now.

The usual is for the nominee to be someone who is regularly polling in double digits by June, and only Romney and Palin fit that criterion in this cycle.

[9YearLurker]

I think you’re right about the vastness of the conspiracy, but I don’t think the motivation is just or even primarily Jeb ‘16. Lots of operatives know they would be on the outside of a Palin campaign and the GOP Establishment knows she’ll take on corruption within her own party. In a lot of cases with those in government, I think the true deep fear goes all the way to the possibility, however slight, of jail time.

[techno]

Isn’t it amazing the media suddenly has a memory lapse or brain cramp and doesn’t bring up this historical data?

But that would then cause people to choose sides.

Moderates and RINO’s already have: Mitt Romney

Conservatives/evangelicals/Tea Party supporters: Keep them in the dark and make them think Michelle Bachmann is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

[techno]

That was only one of my 10 points.

The other 9 pertain to the campaign itself and the antagonism that exists towards Palin by the ruling class and of course their knowledge that if these elitists can eliminate Palin, Mitt is home free.

[9YearLurker]

That old Gallup poll was a snapshot in time and Palin’s numbers across the board have improved significantly since then. There is about 40% of the total electorate that is definitely against her—and the Democrats are going to get at least 45% of the vote even in a landslide year.

[chemicalman]

Palin has something none of these other candidates have...PASSION!

[freekitty]

Something is going on since West, Ted Poe, two conservatives along with some others votes to continued the Pigford scam?

[indianrightwinger]

It is so foolish to focus on Romney vs. Palin and NOT on GOP nominee vs. Obama (Osama). Your analysis does not account for the General Election. Why won’t you post the same stats and poll numbers for that one with Palin as the candidate and then make your case for Palin?

More confirmation of the conspiracy:

Wall Street Journal article promoting Romney-Bachmann:

The most important election is for the GOP nomination.

I beg to disagree with you.

There are only three people that have any chance to be the next President: the current one President Obama, Mitt Romney or Sarah Palin.

It will be 1976 or 1980 all over again: two strong candidates going at each other, with GOP primary voters picking sides.

I’m not saying it will happen tomorrow or next month but by the fall after Palin gets in, the majority of conservatives, evangelicals and TP supporters who oppose Romney as the GOP nominee will then be forced to get behind Palin. There will be no other option. They will see the writing on the wall.

And the polls will show that as they show it now.

[indianrightwinger]

Forget Romney for a minute.

Why would the cowardly Palin want to wait till Fall to get in? Why won’t she get in now and make her case?

What will happen between now and Fall to make it better for the “Primary Voters” to better decide?
