Heh, it’s been roughly 34 years since we’ve had a pres. without significant executive experience when entering the office. (I AM counting Bush Senior’s VP experience, and not counting Gerald Ford’s VP experience.)
Can anybody get a transcript for that post election Palin interview? The link given doesn’t open for me, and, I always like to get a transcript anyway. Thanks!
great interview
off the cuff surrounded by the wolves
she is 10 times the man Obama will ever be with his hypnotic speech patterns and canned crap
damn right
Looks like you’ve put a lot of thought into your letter, I hope it reaches someone’s eyes who isn’t predisposed to tossing it in the garbage.
The r.n.c. is rife with vermin, rats and moles being the most common, so it’s a tossup if anyone who might be swayed by your words will ever see them.
Good luck and keep your head down, it’s still a long 4 years until we see the dawn again.
Let me make a suggestion as to what you should do to have the effect that you want. First, find out who your RNC delegates from Texas are. I remember one used to be, and may still be, Bill Crocker. Start writing him short, clear, concise letters WEEKY. This is to introduce yourself. Better yet, get a small group of like minded people to sign the letters. Takes an hour a week but it magnifies your power exponentially.
Once he knows who you are and that you are serious, you might follow with a call. Keep it cordial, you are on the same side. You just want to influence him.
If you like what you hear, ally with him. If not, oppose him. At this point you have power. Use it. Keep the letters flowing, preferably one issue per letter, short and sweet. If you are consistant and reasoned, he will start actually looking for your letters. I guarantee you, more doors will open. Look for them. Two or three paragraphs per week will magnify your power X 1000. In six months you will have more influence than 100,000 Republicans who don't write.
The only question is: Do you have the wherewithall to follow through or are you good for only a one page rant after an election? There are are lobbyists, and donors and interest groups but it all comes down to the voter. I was astounded at what a little paper and ink can do. I'm a nobody and it always flabbergasts me when I can call the Justice Department and the Attorney General takes my call personally. Or call my Senators and they return my calls personally.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why have they been silent?
Why is he remaining silent?
He carries a grudge, always has.
Here is McCain campaign finally defending Palin :D Finally
J. D. Kayworth, heard on radio station KFYI in Phoenix, has a blog entry labelled “Staff Infection” where he discusses who he thinks is behind this. Right or wrong, at least he’s disecting the smearing of Palin using his Washington DC connections and experience.

On that note I called the RNC in DC (202-863-8500) and let them know I donated, made phone calls, blogged about the election ONLY because of Palin being added to the ticket and that if McCain didn’t get off his backside and in front of some cameras pretty darn fast I would never donate again. They claimed to be working hard to find out the source of the smears and said they’d put an end to it. We’ll see. Use option 2 if you call - that way you get a live person and not a voice mail.
Maybe he did MacisBack08, but he needs to do something PUBLICLY in front of cameras and news journalists to stop this. That is the only way the public and the voters will believe he ever did it.
“...if she runs for president in 2012, GOP elites will pull out the stops to take her down.”
That’s so true. The fact that she “took on her own party” sounded good in campaigning, but I’ll bet it scared the living crap out of the establishment GOPs who are all comfy in their positions, earmarks, goodies, etc. When it dawned on them that she was more than a token woman and pretty face, they had to take her down.
you said it all “Idiot People.” They follow SNL and other nit wit shows to get their news and GUIDANCE of whom to vote for. Did someone tell Tina Fey that she can stop impersonating the honorable Sarah Palin now? She (tina) evidently asked for someone to tell her when she can stop. In my opinion she could have stopped before she began. She liked the $$$$$$$$$$$$ though. Hey, if I disliked someone evidently like she did..there’s no amount of $$$ out there that would make me abandon my principles. So, that shows ou...$$$$ over brains.
