I am noticing an increasing number of anti Palin comments among Republicans.
I think this is a good time to filter the trash out of our party. We Republicans tend to tip toe through the tulips. But if we want to get our party back, we need to do it now. As much as I dislike Obama. and many of us mocked his "get in their faces quote". I want to ask you.
How did we dominate the healthcare debate in August ? We stood up and got in their faces. It worked. You can do this without being violent, without using curse words. Just stand up.
Some of you remember the days of Woody Hayes at Ohio State and Bo Schembechler at Michigan.
We can't be afraid to learn and pay attention to how Obama did it. Because Obama was great at getting control of his party and winning. Unfourtunately, he has no idea how to govern. The great thing about Reagan conservatism is, 75% of it is just making the country believe in itself again. We forgot how to govern in the early 2000s. That is how we lost, but we learn from history.
A lot of people said Obama could never be President for various reasons. The same attitude is used against Palin.
Everybody should read Rules For Radicals by Saul Alinsky. We can use their own tactics to destroy them. Right now, I think we need to use these tactics against anti Palin Republicans. Get in their face. Ridicule them. Freeze them. Personalize them. Polarize them. We need to play it like they are so far out of the mainstream. Perception is reality. Our reality is that they are so luke warm and we are spitting them out. Their reality needs to be cold and isolated.
It is not just about Palin. She is one person. But she is a good lithmis test to see who is really a conservative and who is not.
A lot of Palin hating Republicans don't want a woman to be President. Is that reality ? I don't know. But lets make it reality. Lets live it, breath it, accept it as fact. And then it becomes reality in it's self. They are frozen out of the party and isolated.
Lets do it.
The GOP belongs to Palin now. Not one red cent to the RNC.
Remind the GOP's phone solicitors that they need to remember that you won't be giving them any more money until they get it right.
But be prepared to receive incoming from some of FR's very own "moderates", who like RINOs, are also embarrassed by principled conservatism.
Having said that, I think her small government conservatism is an excellent litmus test, as you describe it. She gives good speeches as well.
She has time
I am just asking a question here so don’t get mad at me, but does Palin define what is a conservative Republican these days?
I think so. Yes.
Her position of key issues.
I love her.,..what a great president she would be.
Beware the Mitten-lovers....right here in FR.
they stay, through stealth... even though Jimrob dosent want them here

I don’t think there are many Palin Haters.
It’s more involved.
The media has almost succeeded in convincing the country that Sarah is some sort of stupid Christian crackpot, incapable of a coherent thought.
In short, they are trying to “Dan Quayle-ize” Sarah.
Thus for anyone who supports Sarah, they will try to make them feel ashamed.
But many of these folks are good, loyal conservatives. We don’t have to kick them out of the party.
Instead, we just have to convince them NOT to appear on any of those left-wing, anti-Palin shows. Give them all the TV exposure they need on Hannity, Rush, local conservative talk shows, etc.
But get them off CNN, MSNBC, etc.
And for ordinary folks, we have to convince them that those left-wing shows are anti-Palin because THEY FEAR HER.
It is NO SHAME to support Sarah. Make it a point of honor and pride.
My 2cents
Yep. We can be politically incorrect while we look politically correct... while making them look politically incorrect at the same.
For instance, A certain persons religion would not allow a female to be President. I don’t know if that is true or not. But we can live it, breath it and win with it.
How different it is when Obama or CNN tells us that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Now, we have conservatives taking the same tack. Friends, I am a Goldwater and Reagan Republican. Nobody, friend, foe or a Octagon fighter tells me whom I should respect or cater to. I personally have a problem with Ms. Palin abandoning the governorship of Alaska, and that makes me question whether or not she currently has what it takes to be President of the United States. If that hurts feelings, tough cookies, friends. Grow up and quit being like the Democrats.
The GOP is a hopeless cause. There are too many liberals in it in high places. Palin could form a new party or join one of the other conservative parties.
I think your problem is a gender issue.
We have had 44 Presidents. All were men. Some people are not comfortable with having a female President.
How can you possibly jump to that conclusion? Are we reading the same post?
So anyone who questions Palin’s credentials is a “hater” and should be purged?
Brilliant!
Screw that.
Third parties don't win.
Sarah can win and she can remake the GOP in her own image.
Let the RINOs form a third party or whatever the Hell they wish.
Because they represent a threat to everything we believe in,
yes, absolutely. 95% of them are not conservatives anyway.
They either have gender issues or religious issues, or both. There are men and women who don’t want a female President in this country. We need to face that fact.
