they may have something to do with it.
But there are also people here on Free Republic who are not religious and are supportive of Governor Palin.
I want the backlash against the Palin haters to be so severe that they just shut the heck up.
Well, I guess we Palinites can’t count on your vote.
They're simply identifying themselves them, and it's not unfair for you to come back at them with their own comments later.
But if FR starts establishing rigid and narrow positions and purging everyone who crosses one, just one, of those lines, then I'm probably out of here. I've got FRiends with whom I have strong disagreement on some one issue but not on others. If FReepers have to march lockstep on everything -- I'm outta here.
Your screen name says you're young. Have a little patience -- some of us have argued in forums where purges were not even possible (Usenet talk.politics.misc starting in 1985 in my case), and I have seen even the most able liberal debaters taken down when they were cornered and fell over the edge.)
Normally I would agree. I am not a fan of purging anybody. But this is a situation in which the attacks are so blatent and so ANTI CONSERVATIVE that they do fit in on a conservative forum.
Izzat you, Nicolle?
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
She's a once-a-generation politician and leader...trust me. :)
I Agree. I remember the media and others going after Reagan. Thay called him dumb, stupid, just and actor, empty suit...
Well....
And if you don't get there, take note -- stockpile (archive them) the quotes AND the links to them, and gird yourself for battle.
Victory may be yours in ways you don't foresee.
I once saw a flaming leftie (and one of the most nimble debaters I've ever seen) take issue over a remark that one could see Cuba from Key West. He ultimately went down in flames when his inflexibility on the issue when faced with the physics of refraction led to his positing that the "edge" of Earth's atmosphere was outside of the Moon's orbit. (This was so classic I have a printout of the final transactions, inside my father's WWII military optics manual...)
Now is the time for calm. Zero isn’t in office yet.
It’s not your responsibility to defend her. And right now, none of it means a thing. The talk is intended to dive you and everyone who likes Sarah crazy. Can’t let them have that.
We need to quietly go after the Vichy Republicans and drive them from the party and from the government. We need to prepare the party for Sarah, not get caught up in defending her in the present. We need to do the advance work of clearing the way for her.
We need to continue the ‘Palin feva’ and continue to help build grass root support for her.
Maggie and the Gip would be proud.
We received your bumper stickers. Good job!
Yep. The GOP establishment fears her. A lot of people in Washington will fear her more and more. If Sarah Palin ever becomes President, a lot of very powerful people will lose their seat at the table forever. I pray for her protection.
You got that right! The RINO's and entrenched power brokers will stop at nothing to keep her from getting elected.
I don’t know about 70-30 (virtually impossible) but I certainly agree with you main point: without Governor Palin on the ticket it easily could have been an Obamanation landslide of 60-40 and running the table of nearly all states.
One of my favorite parts of Sarah’s biography is one concerning her father. During Alaska’s summer months, her father Chuck Heath pulled the plug on the TV and told the kids to go outside and play. A good father; a good lesson for Sarah.
Sarah is exactly the kind of woman who during the generations of our history built this country and made it strong. I don’t think anybody is going to bring her down.
She will get four years of the maximum $2400 per year from me if she does.
Diogenesis, you beat me to it. What is with these Romneybots, like Curiosity? I have about had it with them. NO Romney EVER!@!
The criticisms she gets here are as valid as the many others who over praise her. She definitely has some areas to work on and I bet you she could tell you each one. Still, when I think about what all she's done as listen to her speak without notes, it's obvious she is more than bright enough for the job.
She went into that circus and handled it fairly well, especially given her background and experience. And she's only going to get better. That's why they have to stop her. We need some retro-conservatism and she lives it.
Without Sarah it would definitely have been 65% to 35% and the Obamanuts would have been rubbing it in with salt.
