I’m no conservative. And I'm certainly no intellectual. But I totally understand the freakout among conservative intellectuals over Sarah Palin. For a movement based on ideas, the former governor of Alaska and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee who sits astride the party as a powerhouse fundraiser and potential king- or queenmaker has been uninterested in setting forth a vision crafted after years of thorough study to match her outsized influence.
The Atlantic’s Joshua Green wags his finger at those worry-wart Republicans: “It's not hard to understand what these conservative intellectuals are trying to accomplish,” he writes, “They genuinely believe that a Palin candidacy would be disastrous, for their party and likely for their own influence over that party.”
The “they” include George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Heather MacDonald and Matt Labash. They should be applauded for not bowing down at the altar of Palin’s (dwindling) popularity....

Capehart has articles out on Palin at least twice a week. He must be the militant gay “tip of the spear,” keeping up a non stop battering of palin, while buttressing the gay agenda.
I have voted for my last RINO. Sarah is no RINO.
Some WH moron came up with this strategy. Hey, I’m no Conservative, and I’m certainly no intellectual, in fact I’m just some hood asswipe who got pushed along by affirmative action and quotas to where I am today, appearing on this two-bit TV station talking to an idiot.
That's for sure. You're an assclown.
Wow...that's not how I read his post at all.
And YOU are quite the intellectual, Sir, a budding Bill Buckley, with comments such as that. “Assclown!” Take THAT!! Wow....
‘The Pope ain’t got nothing on this guy when it comes to pontificating.’
In the Pope’s defense, pontificating kind of goes with being ‘The Supreme Pontiff’.
Tongue firmly in cheek there. The Pope’s a good guy. He actually does very little pontificating. Pretty much tells it like it is.
As hard as it is for many here to face it, the truth is that Sarah has turned out to be “our” Obama - a complete lightweight, empty suit with an ego and mouth for days.
PLEASE SEE POST #21, #28, #32, FOR BACKGROUND ON THIS DISGUSTING ATTACK ON CONGRESSMAN ALLEN WEST I RECEIVED VIA EMAIL FROM A MEMBER OF THIS FORUM.

Hi TT, How are you tonight? I’m up late watching developments in Japan. I have an old college roomate who worked as one of the four principal inside members on both of Col. West’s campaigns. He told me that Alann was much too unstable to hold higher office. This comes from a guy who worked on his campaign(s) Nothing makes me more nervous than people like Obama, Holder and West, who are ill prepared placed for high positions in government. Call it affirmative action position creep if you’d like. He told me that Alann had reached his pinnacle, that he’s prepared for as a Congressman.
Tom also told me about Col. West’s less than honorable discharge from the service. Apparently, Col. West enjoyed pounding on his prisoners. I don’t know him personally.
That’s what happens when a black man leaves the liberal plantation. Most of us know what happened with that prisoner.
Tell him from me that he is full of shit.
Amen, bro.
“You can keep Colonel West down in FLA BTW. We don’t want any of the crazy things he says to go national.”
Pray tell, what did Congressman West say that you consider “crazy”??
Don't even waste any of your valuable time thinking about answering that person. I learned early on, that those who are ignorant, and don't want to be bothered by facts and truth, will never listen or do their own research anyway.
Best to just ignore them.
