David Brooks is taking some heat from doctrine-enforcement agents of the left and right for stating, in an interview with me at that famed redoubt of populism Le Cirque that Sarah Palin represents a "fatal cancer" for the Republican Party...

And often loses. That RINOvirus takes a toll on your immune system.
Brooks IS that stupid.....he’s a closet Democrat.
I haven't noticed any "wolf pack mentality" or read any "I am God..." posts. However, a liberal posting on a conservative blog should expect flak.
Wow this anti Palin uproar from the Giuliani “moderates” is not so shocking.
Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?

“Bottom line, Rudy is a survivable presidency for the US. A democrat with a probable demcrat house and senate is not.
If Rudy wins the primary, then you must support him.
If Rudy wins the primary, and you support the democrat or an unelectable 3rd party, then I am out of here and probably more than just me because we love the US, and opposing Rudy after the primary is supporting the destruction of the US as we know it.”
Is it just me, or is FreeRepublic having problems this morning??
No, which is why it's all the more disappointing most Republicans since Gingrich have failed to do it (or do it and convincingly articulate solutions).
I'm willing to give Palin time and I think she certainly shows some promise, but the fact that she needs this time demonstrates that she isn't really ready for the position. Then again, McCain felt he needed to take a gamble given his political position at the time and a Pawlenty et al just wouldn't have done it.
bttt
It all stems from her demeanor. She is, by her own admission, a 'hockey-mom'. Do you seriously think a hockey-mom is going to lead this country out of the wilderness? I think Huckabee would have had a similar problem -- too folksy and lacking a certain level of reverance/seriousness.
And plenty of people have had gravitas: Nixon, Reagan, Cheney, Bush I, etc.
Any other group besides state college grads and Palin supporters you want to insult...
That C student from Eureka College had been the leader of the actor's guild and then governor of California long before he ran for President. And when he was finally elected, it was the second time he ran.
Palin may be a nice woman. She is certainly an ideologically pure conservative. But she is simply not qualified to be Vice President - and pointing to Obama's lack of qualifications doesn't make her more qualified. It just makes both tickets bad.
Yet another Rudy guy that smells conservative blood in the water.

So, Melas, thanks for your support, but you'll need to find a different political party on November 5.
If that’s how you feel, why do you post on a conservative website, because you are not a conservative.
Wrong my newbie friend. Conservatism isn't defined by one's support of Sarah Palin around here. If you thought it was, you registered on the wrong site.
Good luck on driving me out of the party. Talk is cheap, but doing it will be something else altogether. As I’m fond of saying, I’ll know something is up when I get a letter from the GOP saying that my money is no longer good with them. Don’t hold your breath.
McCain is hardly a conservative. He’s more centrist, approching liberal.
What is it about Palin you don’t like? Are her policies (you know, that’s what really matters) too conservative for you?
BTW, using my date of registration on the site to try to claim you understand what you are talking about (but obviously don’t) is weak at best, but understandable given your apparent level of cognitive capacity, or lack thereof.
Moron. I am not now, nor have I ever been a liberal. The only test that counts, I score 100% on. I voted for Reagan, Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush.
You’re on the list.
Oh by all means, please elaborate on this list and how it’s supposed to work. Talk is cheap. Let’s hear a plan.
