The Republican Establishment has a huge disconnect with real Conservative voters and I cannot believe the attacks I coninue to see upon Governor Sarah Palin from those in power and in media.

Peggy and company want to stay in good standing with the Washington elite, and the New York literati. They like their cocktail parties and status more than they do what is right. It’s especially sad that these people are turning their backs on core conservative principals when our country is about to elect the most leftist candidate for POTUS in our history.

Pray for McCain/Palin, our troops, and for the entire USA.

Great Letter Dude! You are right on, its funny how the establishment gets little heat and they crumble and back stab! You need to send that out to some of idiots who don't think Palin is qualified. She has stepped up and keeps getting put down not only by the left by the right too! Thank God for Rush, Laura and Sean! This thing is not over we got to pull together!

Well said.

Whether McCain wins or loses it is time for a real conservative party to emerge in this country. If it has to begin in one state and grow state by state then so be it. Let the David Brooks, George Wills, and Peggy Noonans languish in the Republican Party and be liberal media whores. We conservatives have got to move on...

You once admired Peggy Noonan? Well - maybe that was partly your fault. She helped Reagan sell out conservativism in the 1980s - pretending far left domestic policy to be grounded in conservative principles.

Great post. And the movie from which you get your screen name is awesome. Have you seen Errol and Olivia in “Robin Hood”?

Well stated. In the post-November 5th world, it’s time for conservatives to take back the media seats awarded to the RINOs. The RINOs speak as if there will be no competition for their livelihood they’ve sucked dry. Well, I hate to be the one to break it to them - but they’re not the only ones with college degrees and connections.

If David Brooks is the bulwark of the Republican party God help us. Or rather, God help them. I say its high time for a good old fashioned schism. The North Eastern elites can have the Republican Party back, we'll keep the conservatism. Thank you very much.

You can bet that these Country Club Republicans (aka RINOs) are working hard to defeat the McCain/Palin ticket. That is one big factor in why the polls are so tight with 0bama slightly ahead. They don't really like McCain but they thought he might be lefty enough for them. Then he picked Palin and they saw their hold on the GOP evaporating with a groundswell of conservative support.

You nailed it when you called them elitists. That explains it all.

Good letter, you put into words what a many Conservative is thinking and feeling these days. I believe that if Republicans are ever going to regain some of its former power and status the party will have to get a grip and a develop a backbone and start purging its ranks of the likes of the RINO's who have brought the Party of Reagan to its knees today.

At the top of this is the current standard bearer of the current failed RINO infested Republican Party, Juan McCain. Perhaps Governor Palin will be at the forefront of rebuilding the Republican Party for the future.
