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.
You do this by getting into your local GOP and getting involved in the selection and support of candidates. You do it by running for office yourself. You can’t all be president or even Congressman.
There can be a lot of fighting for freedom at the local level. Don’t for get the KELO case and other abuses of eminent domain.
Go out and fight for freedom locally. Talk to you neighbors and friends. Exert your influence in your sphere of acquaintances/friends/family.
Get educated on the US Constitution, your state constitution, local charters, Austrian economics, effective activism, and effective political campaigns if you decide to run. WALK YOUR DISTRICTS and talk to people. Pressure elected officials relentlessly.
That said, don’t devolve into a cult of personality. Watch out for that. Ron Paul fans need to be careful to not do that. Palin supporters need to watch out as well.
What’s cool is that Palin sounds like she’s been talking to Paul on monetary and fiscal policy recently.
Did you have similar qualms about Bob Dole when he abandoned his Senate seat during his run for the presidency in 1996?
It doesn’t really matter, now does it ?
freeze, isolate, personalize
I’m with you...!
In fact, I posted a very similar vanity back sometime in the spring and found myself in a free-for-all fuzzball with at least three different groups-—the Romneyites, the “Party-over-Principle” crowd, and outright misogynists who believe that women have no place in politics.
Regardless, I’ve got your back on this one!
What if we don’t hate her, but don’t like the way she’s handled herself, don’t like her flaky ways, and especially don’t like her daughter’s “baby daddy” drama she keeps herself at the center of?
Thank you, righttackle44. I wholeheartedly agree with you. The reasons Mrs. Palin gave for leaving the AK governorship will only be magnified a hundred-fold as POTUS. Why would I vote for her? So she could quit half way through her first term as POTUS?
?????
Yeah, it does...
The misogynists are definately real. That is what Sarah is up against.
No. We don’t do Alynsky crap to Republicans because they aren’t pure enough. Gees.. We might not elect them, and we certainly shouldn’t follow them but we don’t destroy them. Grow up and don’t allow yourself to be seduced by the dark side Luke..

And the Romney supportes will demand we purge the Romney haters from the party. And the Huckabee supporters will demand we purge the Huckabee haters from the Party. And the Pawlenty supporters will demand we purge the Pawlenty supporters from the party. By the time all is said and done then nobody will be left.
If you label your enemy before they can label you, you are way ahead. That is something we Republicans need to learn and quick.
anyone who makes a post like that is definately not on the right side of things.
You obviously have NO understanding of what was going on in Alaska with Obama's minions, who were involved in a massive, organized effort to bankrupt the Palins and to drive them out of politics for good.
Read this and enlighten yourself...
Palin financial disclosure may explain timing of her resignation
If it works...
Romney is a RINO
Pawlenty is a RINO
Huckabee is Half a RINO
we can modify Huckabee perhaps...but Pawlenty and especially Romney are big government one world types and screw them....we need the OUT
by the time we are finished we will have gone from a 40% conservative party to an 80% conservative party....and that is a problem for you????
“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.”
I hope you realize how much that sounds like the argument Obama’s team used to get him elected” “If you don’t like him, you must be racist.”

Easy there, Alinsky Jr....
And... OBAMA WON !
I used to hate the Pittsburgh Steelers because they would blitz the quarterback almost every play.
I love Sarah but I think this is stupid! Thankfully, you are not in charge of the criteria for who can, can't be a member of the Republican Party.
I am suggesting what we should do. I am not the leader of the party.
But we need a change in tactic
