Despite Palin Resignation, The GOP Still Needs Culture Warriors

What does seem increasingly clear is that Palin's collapse represents the end of a certain kind of politics.

Palin's collapse?....I need read no further....

[PhiKapMom]

Coulter’s article was illuminating about how people are looking for answers and it is right in front of them. This is another example of writers not comprehending what they read. Sitting here shaking head at some of what I have been reading about Sarah.

Some of these people in for a shock in the months ahead so their heads can explode once again.

Reihan Salam, an influential young player in the effort to revive the Republican Party

The problem is that there are folks at the GOP who listen to liberal moles like Reihan in the first place.

Just gonna ping you here....and here you are.

[Niteflyr]

Successful Republicans like Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush knew this. They mobilized the religious conservative base while managing to transcend it. Sarah Palin is incapable of such transcendence.

I smell misogyny...and typical RINO BS...

Wrong first word in the title: "Despite...." Article goes downhill from there. Newsweek, as usual doesn't have a clue, and doesn't know where to buy, borrow or rent one.

If the Newsweek editors and reporters had bothered to look at a map, and reflect on the careers of Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey before they ran against each other for President, they would have written an entirely different article.

Palin is not withdrawing from the battle. She is repositioning her guns, all the better to rake the enemy. And Newsweek, of course, is part of the enemy. LOL.

Mohammadan ?

Gee! Michael Steele as RNC Chair is really working out great for the GOP-not.

I think this country has raised a group of students who have ZERO reading comprehension and a lot are in the drive by media.

I was coming back to ping you and SoCal after I had a phone call.

Where do these people come up with this crap? She sure has a lot of people scared on what her future plans might be is all I can say.

[yellowhorse]

All these so called “conservative” pundits from inside the beltway must all be smoking from the same bag. I have never heard so many clueless opinions spouted by so many people that know so little about Sarah Palin and what is going on.

These folks not only don’t know anything, they don’t even suspect anything.

God save us from these idiots.

[SolidWood]

Bangladeshi named Salam. Yes.

I wouldn't mind if he were a real American Conservative. But he is a RINO enabler... I think he is a Mittster.

[BlackElk]

The grassroots work will certainly NOT be done by lazy, self-centered pro-abort, pro-homosexual, anti-gun investment bankers. Social conservatives have an easily wieldable veto against any soulless materialist candidate. No GOP POTUS candidate can ever win without enthusiastic support from the social conservatives. That is as it should be.

[freekitty]

Me either. What a load.

[webschooner]

I just ordered one of these bumper stickers for 99 cents, including shipping. It's at patriotdepot.com No, I'm not associated with the seller -- just seemed like a great deal, so I'm passing it along.

[fieldmarshaldj]

"But he is a RINO enabler... I think he is a Mittster."

So just another liberal, party-destroying scumbag.

[SoCalPol]

Reihan Salam is a long time Mark Sanford Bot

Reihan, like the DC shooter thinks Neo Con is a bad name

[hoosiermama]
