Send Palin money....Lots of it.
Yep, that’s why I said I’m looking for some fresh faces over the same old lineup from 2008. Heck, as rotten as Bill Clinton was, I think I’d take him over BO too. Bill was an opportunist. BO is a true believer. Maybe I’m wrong, but the true believer scares me more.
Look on the bright side. 67% think he should NOT. ;)
Yes, it means 67% don’t want him.
The last thing we’re going to unify around is the notion that what really killed McCain was Sarah Palin.
Those “insiders” (I think many of them are previous Romney supporters who want to kill her and Bobby Jindal off because Romney wants to run in the next presidential race) blaming Palin for McCain’s loss are the very people who reneged on their promise (done-deal-negotiated) to allow O’Reilly and Megyn Kelly to interview her, choosing rather to set her up for interviews (to be “edited” later) with their friends and former working colleagues. Nicolle Wallace (a CBS news analyst until February 2008 when McCain hired her as his campaign adviser) kept her away from them in favor of her friend, Katie Couric, et.al.
Lots more on that score, here: http://rsmccain.blogspot.com/2008/11/worthless-gop-campaign-hacks.html
And in addition, Ann Coulter wrote this:
“..Like Sarah Connor in “The Terminator,” Sarah Palin is destined to give birth to a new movement. That’s why the Democrats are trying to kill her. And Arnold Schwarzenegger is involved somehow, too.”
The Reign of Lame Falls Mainly on McCain

74.9% of FReepers said they would support him right before Super Tuesday. IOW, He passed the most conservaitve litmus test there is on the web. Sure it was after Fred and Duncan dropped out but a Bronze medal finish on FR is something to brag about.
The "rumors" are lies. The true sources like Nicolle Wallace were outed here on FR the week before the election. The Spectators source was CNN. Of course the RDS crowd tried to keep the lie going through the election. Their anti-Romney bashing served to keep the anti-Palin story alive and emphasized GOP divisions the last week of the race. The MSM played some FReepers like a fiddle hurting both Palin and Romney at the same time. by keeping the story alive the subject was not how good Palin was but how unprepared. By falsely crediting Romney they also premptively attacked him.
The same thing occurred during the primary with the anti Fred rumors. The MSM attributed them to a former Romney aide. Novak heard the rumor and repeated it. It turned out to be a former McCain staffer Mike Murphy. The MSM kept the lie alive as long as possible. The story had two effects. They could show how terrible Fred was and falsely attribute to Romney.
Hello Carl...I've got some really great stuff to tell you about Sarah Palin....
Cute. Do you have anything else to add?
Excellent observation! You hit the nail right on the head.
Mitt is/was a liberal, from a dying strain of Northeast, upper Mid-West, elite prep school liberal Republicans. Even GW bailed out on his father's brand. HW only got elected from the momentum of Reagan and covering his nature. Once exposed as a raising new taxes, bi-partisan, he couldn't beat Clinton.
Now, McCain, another bi-partisan, mish mash economic/liberal put the pillow to conservative enthusiasm. Can you imagine where he would be without Palin?
Real conservative Republicans and even conservative Democrats did well in this election.
Mitt has had one single uninspired term of a decaying, dying leftist state, of which except for Federally funded RomneyCare, he left no impact. None. Zero. Zip.
For Mormons only Mormon voters, their best chance is the more accessible, true conservative Jeff Flake. Mitt's day has come and gone as far as the Presidency is concerned. I do hope is excellent organization skills, true decency and patriotism will be used. There is plenty to do, and not enough people to do it. But I don't see Mitt as a ideological leader of non liberal Republicans.
Are you kidding? Swing voters don't care if some candidate has an "economic background." If they think the economy is good, they tend to vote for the incumbent. If they think it's bad, they tend to vote for the challenger. They couldn't care less about the qualifications of either one.
Good to see you are still there.
From this hatefest, one would think Romney had been the candidate and had lost.
This hatefest is what gave us McCain.
At least Romney would have been an articulate fighter.
You are right about the people not caring about qualifications though. If they were, Obamarx bin Biden would not have won.
Ok then. The GOP should name the latest American Idol winner as it’s nominee. Qualifications (including age and status of citizenship) be damned!
Let’s face it, even if this a$$*ole bombs out, he’ll still get re-elected. They will be blaming GWB for everything from the Hindenburg to the Challenger space shuttle up through today and tomorrow. Hence my tagline.
When is Willard going to get the message that the base of the Republican party is never going to accept him as a Presidential candidate?
No need to add anything else. Romney and his people are trying to take out Sarah before she has a chance to regroup and solidify the base around her. Romney can go pi$$ up a rope!
State your proof. I haven’t seen any.
It seems to me you are doing to Romney just what you accuse him of doing to Sarah.
I’m reading this thread and get the impression I am looking in on a “Jim Jones” rally drinking in their “kool aid” of rumor, narrow mindedness and hate.
