Forgive my curiousity, but I am curious nonetheless, Mr. Robinson; but what is your take on all of this and Governor Palin? Feel free to tell me to go away. :)
I know how you really feel about John McCain....
...just let it out Jim.
I’m not declaring war on the Republican party, but they will be hearing from me often. And I plan on working hard with Sardo if he decides to challenge Drier again in the next primary. I am sick and tired of watching every gain we had since 1980 get tossed under the bus as our party continues to become more and more liberal.
I even watched those who are suppose to represent our interests start distancing themselves from Prop 8, so they don’t ‘appear like bigots’ - excuse me, my marriage means something, it also means between a man and a woman, and even though the liberals have managed to change it to be ‘a union between two people’, my dictionary still says man and woman, and so does my state constitution now.
I’m also sick and tired of seeing religious conservatives tossed under the bus around here. Sure, I don’t agree with them on everything, or rather, the order of importance is where our disagreement is. But they are the core of the party, and to have their opinions discarded out of hand because it makes people uncomfortable on the golf course... I’ve had enough of it.
Andrew Sullivan joins Arianna Huffington as the two columnists who managed to be bipartisanly boring--as "conservatives" and now as liberals. Two screaming queens who are so molar-crackingly loud that no one with more than half a brain has the patience to get through their silly rants.
There were a few bright spots in the campaign and Palin was the brightest. Losing RepublicaRats like Gordon Smith was another.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
McLame ran a lousy campaign, he was not conservative enough and went on the attack much too late. Sarah Smile infused some much-needed life into the campaign and I only hope she runs for higher office in the future and doesn’t disappear.
My guess is that someone who coached Palin probably had a few drinks and told their friends a few confidential anecdotes about the process, which were then embellished by an overzealous Obama supporter. Seems like the Republicans have been rather gracious losers, but the Dems are inexplicably Sore Winners as exemplified by these ridiculous portrayals of Palin as a Diva and Obama’s cheap shot at Nancy Reagan. Such hubris will come back to bite them on the a*s.
There are few good men on our side that can run and win in 2012.
Senator McCain needs to directly (i.e. publicly) address these issues surrounding Governor Palin.
This is the thanks she gets for busting her butt, joining the ticket with a guy who had a steep uphill climb, given his age, his previous bout with cancer, the fact that he had repeatedly pissed off republicans in the past 8 years. The only reason McCain won the nomination was because of the assasination of Bhutto. It’s too bad people who were voting at the time did not take into consideration the fact that the economy was already starting to hit some rough spots and mcCain was not going to have credibility when it came to dealing with the economy. He sure as heck did not help himself when he said he did not know as much about the economy as he should. That liar colmes kept on misquoting McCain by saying that Mccain had said he did not know anything about the economy.
I wonder whose brilliant it was to have McCain sign up for federal matching funds?
If somebody in the McCain camp was making remarks about Barry like this, they would be sleeping the the fishes at the hand of McCain. When it’s Palin, it’s OK? I hope names are named, and those that turned will be held accountable. What a bunch of scumbags and cowards. It was disgusting what the media did to her, and McCain allowed this to happen on her way out the door. If she knew this would have happened she would have stayed in Alaska for sure. Hopefully she realizes that the base has her back. It’s the base that wins elections, not a bunch of RINOs, moderates, and Georgetown-dinner party pukes.
Are we at war? Are we boycotting FoxNews?
I have a theory on Schmidt.
He was the one responsibile for McCain’s mega hit YouTube vids, so we were told, before the Veep pick. All of the positive attention was on him. He was the “spoiled only child” of the campaign. Then Gov. Palin comes in and blows everyone away. No more constant “attaboys” and warm fuzzies for Schmidt, all eyes on Gov. Palin.

The Republican party lost this election for one very simple reason - they abandoned their principals.
1. Bush interfered in the marketplace. He allowed the federal government to buy out banks, insurance companies and mortgages. That’s socialism and it’s not a Republican value.
2. Let’s face it - Republicans in congress betrayed us. They sold out the rank and file to special interests. They lost touch with the rank and file, and the rank and file drifted away.
3. The Republican party is NOT about ‘God and Country’. It is about freedom. it’s about less government - LESS government. Not ‘gay marrage’. Not ‘war on drugs’. And certainly NOT a war in the middle east. LESS government, more individual choices. And if that means letting someone make a ‘bad’ choice, then so be it. THAT is what freedom is all about.
4. The Republicans became vicious. They’re still vicious. Look at the differences between McCain’s election night speech and Obama’s speech. Republicans actually booed when McCain mentioned Obama’s name. talk about rude! We are BETTER than this! the level of racist and unprofessional conduct among McCain staffers and rank and file supporters was very visible. And that cost McCain at the polls.
Look, nobody likes to loose. But the Republican party worked very hard to lose this race. we can either recognize that there is a sickness infecting the conservative movement and do something about it or we can ignore the problem and keep losing elections.
Will somebody just leave her alone? She was so beloved, and suddenly McCain lost (yes, it was his fault, not hers) and she’s the biggest villain on the planet. She would have won on the top of the ticket, I don’t buy some of this negative stuff for a second
“Rush Limbaugh, behemoth of rightwing radio, took to the airwaves to declare war on two enemies: Barack Obama and the Republican party. Bloggers at FreeRepublic.com, an internet hub for conservatives, announced a boycott of Fox News and John McCain’s aides fell over one another to leak embarrassing details about the campaign to the press.”
Where’s the link????? Obviously not a frequent Freeper...
