Not a conservative in that bunch. Heck, Dr. Krauthammer was a speechwriter for WALTER MONDALE and worked for JIMMY CARTER!!! George Will may have been what passed for a conservative on the East Coast 35-40 years ago, but today?!

I always enjoyed Krouthammer, but never thought of him as a leader of Conservative thought. How can he be when he didn’t even vote for Reagan in either election? George Will is a Washington insider from a forgotten time. He is as current as those bow ties.

Didn’t know that Krauthammer was a speechwriter for Mondale and worked for Carter! So, I would have to take anything he says with a grain of salt. How did he go from liberal to RINO-—er, CINO??
George Will is a has-been. Can safely ignore him.

RE :” Roger Ailes of Fox News pointedly did not suspend her contract, as he did those of two other candidates, because, he said, she has given no sign that she is planning a campaign.

At this stage shouldn't you be working on her getting her to show a sign of running? These “everybody bad is against a Palin candidacy” posts have been repeated daily for two years and just result in the same old repeated arguments from both sides. Is she supposed to be begged to run like with Thompson in 2007?

What’s amusing to me is that in 2008, McCain couldn’t raise a vote or even a yawn until Palin came on board on Aug. 29th. In 24 hours she’d raised a quarter million dollars for the campaign and in less than 3 weeks, she was polling 3% over Obama. Then of course Obama/Bernanke/Geithner pulled out the old economic crisis hoax, and dumbass McCain raced back to DC to support it. And of course the RINO’s crushed her, right when she was about to go in for the Obama kill by revealing that he’s aligned with domestic terrorists and commies!

Why do you think all the media operatives are so desperately trying to stop her run! She already had Obama beat once!

She’s an excellent strategist. It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

I don’t think Krauthammer cares much for women and minorities.

Shhhh! Leave these hacks alone! Can’t you see they’re busy embalming another loser for the o-twelve run? They think they have developed a better-smelling fluid and a winning facial rouge.

On the other hand, screw them.

It’s more than right wing vs. left wing, conservative vs. liberal. It’s country class vs. ruling class.

Palin’s election will interfere with the hold on power of the ruling class of both parties. They can’t stand for it. They will lose the people’s check book. She will change the game and they won’t know the rules.

Her campaign has to be as the leader of a movement to replace the establishment Republicans and liberals who got us where we are. If she is elected without control of both houses of Congress, we lose. Not Republican control, TEA Party control.

From the linked article, arguing that anti-intellectualism represents a danger to the conservative movement seems a strange tactic when most Republicans in Congress profess not to believe in global warming and when some large portion of the conservative base thinks that the president was born in darkest Africa.

I see. It is the mark of an intellectual to believe in global warming without the slightest evidence that the globe is actually warming during the last decade (in fact it is cooling), and to accept as an article of faith that that Obama was born in the USA without the slightest actual evidence that he was.

The author must be an intellectual. Only an intellectual could say something so stupid. ~ George Orwell

Dr. Krauthammer is a registered Democrat. There is no such thing as a right winged Democrat.

Palin’s opposition isn’t right wing, they’re just left wing moles.

Another in the number of special people who flock to and surround the people getting close to the levers of power. Kraut has no patriotism, or concious. He’d do anything to support and protect business as usual and Israel. These turncoats don’t care about this country, during presidential elections 85% always vote demon-crat

The elitists are on the march big time. Enough of these pundits, they’re Dupes, nothing more. I live my life in reality, I know REAL people when I see then, they have nothing to hide, they speak from the heart based on well-founded knowledge.

No more Ivy Leaguers, enough of that ilk. Let’s get back to citizen leadership dedicated to SERVING the nation based on the law of the land: The US Constitution and of course Biblical standards which benefit the unbeliever along with the saved whether they want to recognize it or not.

Exactly these guys are barely rinos. At best they will be sitting at the back of the Republican bus while Palin drives it from town to town.

Shes in charge and they just can't stand it!! I hope she runs but IMHO even if she doesn't shes still in charge!!

The latest example of Palin-bashing comes this morning in Politico, which has arrayed a murderer's row of conservative intellectuals, from George Will to Charles Krauthammer to Pete Wehner to, um, Matt Labash* to scold and correct anyone who might harbor the heretical view that Palin has a right to seek her party's nomination...

I'm so sick of people bashing Sarah, I really can't stand it anymore.

I just checked to see what's on tv tonight to distract myself from all the misery out there.

Perry Mason: The Case of the Grimacing Governor on ENCM at 8:00pm.

This is an educated guess on my part, but she said something last week on Judge Napolitano’s TV show that might be a reason for the latest round of attacks.
She said the GOP was taking baby steps in trying to cut spending and people were going to grow tired of or be dissatisfied with what they are doing [Boehner & house leadership]. She said this in context of the newest CR.
That would be a reason for the country club republicans to go after her.
She is right on to have said that, and she is right, people are going to be tired and dissatisfied with what the leadership is doing in the House. She is also right that the little they are doing is baby steps. Pence also gave a speech in the last few days saying they need to do more and do it now. [imho we need adult leadership in congress]
She urged the newly elected tea party people not to be drawn into the vortex.
Those would be fighting words for traditional establishment Republicans.

>> “Krauthammer, Will, Pete Wehner, etc” <<

.
Nothing right here, this is definitively the mushy middle.
