Not only did the liberal nominee of last year and his team alienate "Reagan democrats", they decided to alienate key segments of the Republican base and the tea party, all in the name of reaching out independents and moderates. They went out of their way to alienate libertarians, social conservatives, and tea party supporters. In the end they did not get enough people, even moderates and independents to win this thing.
Key takeaways from this loss- you try to bring along as much of your base as possible to the dance or you lose!! Don't alienate entire segments of the base, and push them outside the "big tent" to make room for others. Secondly, you bring them along by getting them excited about you, not by getting them to fear the alternative.
She (Palin) has never stated any untrue situation (I was going to type in fact.. but that wouldn’t have made sense if it was a fact ;))..
It makes me sick, all of the PDS people that are still on FR.. I can accept a different opinion, but to constantly deny that she was, and has been correct.. and to continually disrespect her and claim she is stupid/nothing because of a Saturday Night Live skit that was made to make her look stupid?! Damn, are we all Conservatives, or not?! (That was a rhetorical question.. I see many here on this CONSERVATIVE site that are not Conservative, yet JimRob allows them to stick around.. a few previously zotted.. and a few that had written an Opus, but returned to spew more PDS crap).
I, and many others here have remained quiet (me, speaking every once in awhile, but keeping up daily on FR)..
Whether or not the PDSers want itor not, Palin speaks for all Conservatives.. she says what we believe is right, the reason the country was created fthe way it was.. to protect us ALL against a a tyrannical government. The government is supposed to hear what the people want, and then make the proper choice(s) to what must be done. (We employ them, through election (not fraudulent ones)... we are NOT their servants/slaves, they are there to serve us).
Was going to type more... but I am sure most, if all of you know what I mean..
