The GOP lost in ‘06 & ‘08 because people on the Right decided to “teach ‘em a lesson”.

Now, we have Pelosi, Reid and Obama.

####

And Norm Coleman lost because he was not “right” enough for too many Minnesota voters; now we have Senator Franken.

[maica]

Well, everything is under “review” as is always the case with this administration.

####

Mullen could not have been more non-committal if he were being interrogated by enemy agents. Wow!

There are two words that this admin use over and over again, and are meant to cover all bases:

Comfortable, as in “I’m comfortable with the level of missile defense in Eastern Europe”

and

Concerned, as in “I’m concerned that NK is continuing to ignore the UN .... “

Maryland has been a test state for many of the attack methods of the New Left. We had a Republican governor (not too conservative - but we are a seriously Blue state) for 4 years. Both Dem-controlled Houses of the Legislature were not content with stymieing his every initiative, they developed ‘panels’ to attack his motives and his authority to do ANYTHING. The Baltimore Sun and the Washington Post were relentless in condemning his actions for the whole four years.

Now this method has gone National. Sarah has experienced it, and I am glad that she has told the voters of Alaska to do without her.

[fedupjohn]

Don't blame me, I voted for Sarah.

So Did I!!!!

[LibLieSlayer]

Amen!

Tom Delay credited Newt with being a good strategist in his book, but that he did not have the ‘follow-thro’.

[Jeff Chandler]

Did Wallace remind Hoyer that he, Pelosi, and Reid have been in charge of Congress for two and a half years?

The Republicans have had many opportunities to remind everyone of that fact, but prefer to assume the fetal position (while not attacking conservatives).

[mojitojoe]

She is the real thing, a conservative with charisma, down home charm,talent and most of all has us behind her!
________________
She is also extremely attractive and that drives the hairy legged libs crazy. If she was plain, they wouldn’t hate her so vehemently. her charm, charisma, and a beautiful woman that can handle a big family and a political office, nah, that’s just too much for them. There is a lot of jealousy going on but they would never own up to it.
Oh and by they way, isn’t this heat awful? Where are the southeasterly trade winds? Too hot to even go fishing.

[mathluv]

LOL!!! When I got to #241, I realized who you meant by Johnny Mc. Johnny McBrown was who came to mind.

[csmusaret]

That’s going back aways. I’ll bet you can remember Lash Larue too.

[Miss Marple]

Coming in late today, due to family commitments.

My take on this is that Karl is a bit puzzled by this. It isn't a conventional move. Conventional, however, hasn't worked against the democrats.

I didn't find him particularly hateful towards her, just pointing out that there are disadvantages to doing this. And there are, but I think there are also a lot of advantages.

I sent him a Tweet pointing out that she would be able to galvanize the party if she wasn't tied down in Alaska, and that this might be a new way of campaigning.

Here is what he sent me in a personal Tweet:

Plenty of time for GOP to be galvanized and you may be right, it could be a different approach.

Therefore, I do not see him as her enemy. Rove has spent a lot of years perfecting his method of campaigning, which worked well for President Bush. But times are changing, the electorate is polarized, the media is totally in the Obama camp, and we have a thug presidency. Now it's time for something new.

The media and the pundits are either confused or (in the case of the liberals) in a complete panic. Whoever said "she's gone rogue" is exactly right. No one knows what to expect, and the democrats are in a frenzy over this.

My money is on Sarah. And I am enjoying every minute of this.

[mojitojoe]

Put the song on You tube, then write your story so people can read it as the song plays. That story is so disgusting and you have far more control than I do. Had I been there with grandchildren I wouldn't have been able to hold back. The kisses at the house, maybe, the beach scenario, trust me, there would have been a scene and I wouldn't care who got mad.
I also couldn't have cared less who was mad at me because I would have been mad at them too. Shameful. I'm sure they put a damper on everyones 4th. The thing is, the beach scene, hands down the pants, I don't care if it's 2 snapper lappers or a man and a woman, not appropriate.

[mojitojoe]

THEY DO THIS TO INTIMIDATE US! They dare us to complain and if we do then we must be homophobes.
__________
Sure they do, and you know what? I bet if it had been a heterosexual couple and there was a hand down the pants situation, somebody would have said something.

[cajungirl]

well, he might have sponsored the bill but churches say what they want. Did it pass?

[mathluv]

Of course I do!

[mojitojoe]

Obama received 62,704,84

How many were dead, illegal, or voted more than once?

[Miss Marple]

My nephew is gay, and has a long-term relationship with a very nice man.

They come to all of the family functions. No problems, as they do not do any demonstrative behavior so as far as the grandkids know, they are just good friends.

I appreciate this, and have no problem with them. In fact, they are always welcome in my home because they are funny and always bring great wine and fancy home made baked goods.

I am balancing a fine line here between my faith and my family, since this is my sister's son and we all love him. I pray for some sort of solution while welcoming them as cherished people.

This is how I think situations like this should be handled. I don't know what I would do in a situation like you were faced with. Very unfortunate, and dare I say...TACKY?

[rodguy911]

Wow just Wow Bray! Really great post! You said it all about tomorrow’s conservative leader.

[rodguy911]

Right on buddy its been hotter heck down here. I think we will finally see some Southeasterly breezes soon. Than it will cool off.

Sarah does drive the lib/rats crazy. As you say good looking, conservative, great family and even fishes and hunts! She may not get on many cocktail lists but she sure has a zillion fans among us.

[rodguy911]

Exactly Barker,can’t wait to see the same duds that were talking bad about her soon bowing at her alter. What a sight that will make.
