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. It will clear their lives of cognitive dissonance if they become Democrats. In fact, they will find it positively liberating.
The country club GOP set hate anything that has to do with regular, middle-class, flyover-country Americans. They are just like the liberal latte crowd: They hate real people, so any attempt to appeal to real people is labeled “rank populism.” These are the same Republicans who hated Ronald Reagan when he was in power, and only claim today to have support his legacy.
Alas the RINOs cannot become Democrats. For one thing they enjoy regular bathing.
“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.
In a movie called the Stoned Age, the main guy refuses to allow “Don’t Fear the Reaper” to be played in his car. He says it’s a, shall we say, “wimpy” song. His friend argues and says, “It’s BOC. How can it be a [wimpy] song?” He answers back, “Let me tell you something. Every band puts out a [wimpy] song so they can find out who the faggots are.”
