In before the trashing begins. Jonah makes his points well.
Palin would do well to heed his advice.
dead on...I have argued in the past that Palin can show she is presidential material by articulating conservative ideas and showing that they work by her implementation of them in Arkansas. She needs to preach that. Her accomplishments will pave the way for her. She needs to stick to that.
Appears Jonah is another RINO for Romney.
And Jonah is not the only person saying this.
More advice for the doctors of smarts.
Even though he's entitled to his opinion, HE'S OUT of TOUCH with the reality of the situation.
Sarah is actually gaining momentum and stature thanks to efforts such as Goldberg's.
RE: Jonah
What a load of condescending bullcr@p!
You mean, the Mittbots are the ones saying it. Oh, and all the other RINO elites. When Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh and Michelle Malkin echo the same sentiments, then, perhaps, I might listen. Until then, these swipes are nothing more than elitist bravado based on liberal perceptions of the cult of personality.
I made this point about the Letterman controversy but got lambasted by many here on FR.. She was playing the victim and falling into the trap. Victims don’t get elected president, leaders do.
That would be great for Arkansas, and also Alaska. : )
don-o,
I agree with you, and will gladly share some of the heat. A defining characteristic of conservatism is that we don’t march in lock step. That’s for the Liberal Fascists.
Before the flames begin, please note that I (like Jonah) have a great deal of admiration for Sarah and hope that she succeeds.
I would rather hear from someone who actually has done something, not just written about what others have done. Does that make sense?
Dear Jonah,
Go pound sand.
She carried on the tit-for-tat with Letterman for too long.
I posted that as a poltiical observer — nothing else.
Anybody on the inside of the GOP or who has been writing for them is IMO part of the establishment - I will not vote for Romney because he is the establishment and as Krauthammer (sp?) just said he is next in line - how well has that worked for us in the past.
I will not deal with another “progressive” republican and will vote third party if that’s the case. The last thing this country needs is another elitist politician coming in and trampling on the constitution.
McCain, Bush, Dole, Obama, Clinton etc. they have all been the same and Romney would be no better.
Does Palin need to brush up? Yes, but as far as I’m concerned Goldberg doesn’t understand why those on both sides of the aisle don’t like her - she is a threat to the political machine plain and simple. She is not beholden to anyone except average citizens.
Let’s see how much her PAC has raised this month when they report that will be quite an indidication I think.
I have been hearing more and more support for her and people who are willing to give her a chance - and this is in Maryland of all places. Last weekend I was in Baltimore watching the US play Brazil with under 30’s and early 30 yr. olds. They asked who I liked and when I said her name I was afraid of the flak I would get - I got none - they agreed that both parties sucked and they wanted someone who was on the outside.
Stopped reading right there. Anyone that thinks Mutt Romney has any chance of winning a Republican nomination, much less the election, is a flaming idiot!
I agree. Now we better find a foxhole.
I agree 100% with Goldberg’s assessment.
Sarah has what it takes to be a great leader; now she must do her homework.
Ronald Reagan was 57 when he first ran for President, and that was after a decade of writing and delivering speeches, and his first year as governor of California. He didn’t win the nomination until eight years later (and another term as governor).
So for us Palin fans, it is expecting too much of her to be ready for the top of the ticket at this point. It takes time and experience, and she needs to shore up her weaknesses.
