Doubting Sarah [The Bushies attack]

Sarah Palin is widely considered to be a leading candidate for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination. And while an October story in Politico made a splash (and drew Palin's wrath) by quoting anonymous Republican "insiders" attacking Palin, we've noticed a different, striking pattern in recent weeks: More and more prominent Republicans are publicly voicing doubts about Palin.

Every one of those people, save for Ann Coulter, is a Bushie or an Obamabot, or BOTH. Coincidence? Mitt is getting some help, not that it'll do him any good.

Ann Coulter is a long-time Mittbot.

"“There are high standards that the American people have for it [the presidency] and they require a certain level of gravitas, and they want to look at the candidate and say 'that candidate is doing things that gives me confidence that they are up to the most demanding job in the world’.”

Yeah Karl, you tell us. Boy that sure does explain an undocumented jerk with a British father getting into the White House.

Man, I didn't realize just how moronically stupid Rove can be. But then, he is likely angling for another White House job which he will NOT get from President Palin.

Coulter did not say she could not win. She expressed a wish she would keep working behind the scenes to wind the left up. The rest of these Bush hacks say she is unelectable out right. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a Jeb run with all this BS. The main issue they have with her is she won’t moderate. Where exactly is Obummer moderate on anything. There is nothing he can do to get the “center” back as long as Obamacare is on the table. They will have to vote Palin or stay home. Either way she wins.

From the article:

“Karl Rove, one of several conservative non-lamestream media Palin critics who’ve reared their heads of late … has a point when suggesting that the American people might expect a ‘certain level of gravitas’ in someone who’s considering running for president, and that starring in your own reality show might not be the ticket.”

I’m sorry, but Bush was a bit of doofus, and if Karl Roive thinks Bush had gravitas he was watching the wrong guy for 8 years. The guy who mangled words and choked on potato chips. I’ll take Palin any day over anybody associated with GWB.

“And she's very happy in Alaska. And I hope she'll stay there.”

You should have stayed in Texas Barbara. I would have still had respect for you. Now you are the enemy.

has a serious obstacle to overcome even within her own party.

The RINO part of the Republican party is scared to death. That make her even more appealing. The RINO's need to get the boot as well as the socialist dems. They have ruined and wrecked both parties but, THEY WON'T WRECK AMERICA.

Not a coincidence since Obama and company are left-wing Leftist and the Bushies, including Mitt, Huckabee, McLame, et al, are right-wing Leftists (aka RINOs).

She’s more qualified to be president than 0bama was when he ran.

At the same time, she isn’t as qualified as George W Bush was, or virtually anyone else that has been president during my lifetime. Sure, 0bama lowered the bar, but that shouldn’t become the standard.

They are trying to destroy her in the public arena before she announces a run. And it has worked unfortunately with a number of people. My own family parrots this stuff. They are also hoping to demoralize her so that she doesn’t announce a run in the first place.

I sincerely hope she listens to the people and not the jabbering establishment. They sure are wasting a lot of time on someone they consider a joke and who can’t win. You would think they’d be aiming their ammo at whomever they perceive as the real threat wouldn’t you?

“Karl Rove, one of several conservative “

Karl Rove is a open borders big government statist, he is no conservative.

The only two who have any grounds at all to talk with authority about electivity are Scarborough and Whitman, both RINOs who had their fifteen minutes of electoral fame extinguished several cycles ago.

The rest of these guys are genuine nobodies, parasites feeding off the republican elephant.

We know from past experience, as an emirical fact, that the more one is ensconced inside the beltway the less one knows about America. Therefore, criticism from these anonymous beltway suck-offs should be taken as a contrarian indicator. As with Reagan, when the opposition from the beltway whorehouse gets virulent enough, we know that victory will be assured.

Everything about Sarah’s Alaska helps me to see she would be at least two million times better than the faux black Muslim Marxist that inhabits the White House right now.

The country does not turn on a dime. We will all have to put the New 112th Congress’s feet to the fire and to find our voices and act come January 1, 2011. The tide has only begun to turn on November 2nd.

We have two years of hard work to resist the high water mark of Marxism and the Left, which was yesterday, when the anti-American 111th Congress finished their business and went home.

Their ascendancy is now history. They just don’t know it yet.

We do, and we cannot let the Mittbots and RINOS and spineloss GOP leaders undermine the one leader who has emerged to fight for the AMerica we know and love—and that is Sarah Palin, 45th President of the United States.

She has a rendvous with destiny on January 20, 2013. And I intend to work my butt off to help her get into the White House.
