“The best thing about Sarah Palin is that she is the fastest way to drive the country club Republicans out of the party. They’ve long been captured by secular intellectuals.”
You know, I’ve been thinking along those same lines. The Republicans who have been slamming Palin hardest seem mostly to be part of the “blue blood” wing of the GOP. This suggests to me that its less about her abilities and much more about not being “their kind of people.”
That only makes me more determined to support her, btw. I have about as much use for cocktail party circuit Republicans as I do with the likes of John Kerry and Ted Kennedy.
Its come down to it now. No matter what happens in the election, the elitists will be purged from the Republican Party, or they will purge the rest of us. Either way, the split is long overdue.
I will no longer share a party with people who think the highest qualification for the presidency is to be dipped in the holy waters of the Potomac, or go to the “right” schools, or use a certain vernacular and inflection in speech.
The Democrats, and now many so-called Republicans, have dropped the pretense. Since Palin, they have, in effect, said “I love poor and middle classed people as props, but I can’t stand to be around them.”
They have given up the founders’ belief in the genius of the common American people.
Let the word go forth: Those of us who came of age under Reagan will not suffer the elitists anymore. Sarah has awakened us, and your day is over.
