Nice work. The idea came to me last night that possibly they had picked Sarah, knowing that McCain was a losing ticket, but wanting to damage her (through the media), and thus, destroy any chance of the conservatives taking back the GOP from the liberal GOPs.
There are so few strong, conservative leaders who are able to have the mass appeal that Sarah does. Jindal is a nice guy, but just don’t see him having as strong a following that Sarah is able to get.
I would not put it past the liberal republicans who control the party right now to do this. I was shocked when McCain ended up getting the nomination. Was definitely expecting more of a conservative. But we see now who really controls the GOP....mods and libs.
And they don’t want Sarah or any one else getting the conservatives back in control. That’s why so many of them did not support Sarah and even wrote articles bashing her.
Pretty obvious what’s going on.
Exactly.
Naming Palin was a strategically smart move because it blunted any possible temptation for conservatives, who were pretty vocal about their distaste for McCain, from rallying behind a possible third party candidate. Remember back then, the elites were certain that Ron Paul was going to run third party, even though he repeatedly denied it.
Though, LDS myself, I supported Ron Paul (and managed to survive the Ron Paul purge here at freerepublic) because, in my view, he was an authentic conservative. Yet, the slanderers of conservatism suggest that I characterized Romney as a conservative. I was only acknowledging his popularity and viability for 2012. Notice the venomous attack for suggesting that there was an effort to block Romney's ascension? Even after Romney campaigned full time for McCain, they still hate him. It is because he demonstrated party loyalty, by campaigning for McCain, that the establishment, and bitter haters, must tear down Romney, even though the election has been lost.
I knew, before I posted the screen shots of the evidence that I found, that the pack of familiar faces would arrive, belittling the evidence, with no evidence of their own, launching personal attacks and lobbing the tired "tin foil hat" phrase to minimize the interesting ties between a politician known for his reputation of betraying his party. While his team is in the process of throwing two popular Republicans under the bus, he calls for unity with a Marxist, after he breezily conceded the election to the Marxist.
The enemies of conservatism aren't only in Washington.
