Why Kristol symbolizes everything wrong w/GOP: Thinks Palin doesn’t have a future’ in U.S. politics

Bill Kristol once referred to himself as a “squish”

Yet for some reason the GOP establishment holds Kristol in high regard when I think the man projects the intestinal fortitude of a sponge.

Kristol is what passes for masculine strength in today’s Republican Party. So it’s no wonder the Party has become a collection of cream puffs who have abandoned their conservative principles.

The only time the GOP shows some fight is when they attack conservatives. They never seem to muster that kind of moxie against Barack Obama and the Democrats. But, with conservative Republicans they become junkyard dogs.

So somebody must’ve gotten to Kristol to take Sarah Palin down a peg.

The Raw Story reports Republican political strategist and Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol appeared on “Morning Joe” Tuesday morning to walk back statements he made to ABC Online on Sunday regarding the political fortunes of erstwhile Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R). Whereas two days ago, Kristol said that Palin could “resurrect herself” politically by way of a run for U.S. Senate, Tuesday morning he was far less sanguine about her prospects, saying that she does not “have a future” in politics.

Kristol was one of Palin’s earliest advocates in the Republican Party, which he said in the Sunday interview, but added that her decision to quit the governorship in the middle of her first term was a poor choice for someone who hopes to secure a job in government.

However, he said, “I think the way Palin would possibly....

I don’t know many conservatives that take Bill Kristol seriously anymore. It’s been a long while since he lost his fastball!

He went up to Alaska and found her for McCain.

Palin was chosen only to give that doddering, Democrat plant Juan McLame credibility among naive conservatives. Could you imagine if McInsane was allowed to pick his good pal Joe Lieberman as he wanted to. Nobody would have voted for that duo and it would have certainly exposed the Presidential "election" as the total fraud it is.

BS, and you are trying to start something. Kristol did go up to Alaska on a cruise to meet Sarah. She would even tell you that.

So, what this proves is that you are unable to process facts because they don’t fit your narrative. So drop it.

I understand that she was picked to spice up the McCain failure to launch.

So are you denying that you were one of the ring leaders among the PDSers when you went by the alias of IndyLindy?

Yes, I was never a “ringleader”. Did Palin run? Nope, Are you denying that Bill Kristol went to Alaska on a cruise with others and recruited Palin for the running mate for John McCain? Has Palin come out yet in opposition to the old fool McCain?

Cannot answer me truthfully, can you? Does everyone have to answer everything according to what you think is okay? Does that not resemble the left when it comes to Obama?

By the way, all I said here is that I think Kristol does not hate Palin. Is that so bad?

By the way, my screen name was never an alias. You can ask the top here why my name changed. It was a request by management.

Ticks me off, because it was not my choice fool.
