Liberals always tell republicans how to succeed as though
they had their best interests at heart.Funny thing is some
republicans listen to them.

I don’t.

Sarah is doing just fine thank you.

We need to understand the “sides” have changed.
It’s not Dem v GOP now,

it’s “elites” v “individualists”.

I see others have come up with some new ones.

It’s like SP is the 3rd rail of conservative politics.

If Reagan came back from the dead and said anything negative about Palin, he’d be run out on a rail.

I like Cal Thomas. Just because you disagree with this commentary does not men that he is not entitled to his opinion.

I hope you aren’t saying that being ignorant of world events is “herself”.

I think he is wrong about his comments on her appearance, but I understand him. But he is right that she needs to be ready to outperform when she is asked questions, because they will try to trip her up and the way to change the narrative is to be BETTER than anybody so they can’t trip her up. Then they can all write about how smart they were to criticize her before, since now she is so much smarter — and that is a winning strategy for her.

“If Reagan came back from the dead and said anything negative about Palin, he’d be run out on a rail.”

Ain’t that the truth. I’m not a “Beltway Insider,” or anything of the kind. But I want someone with some substantive knowledge and the ability to make a coherent argument.

You are welcome. Unfortunately most here don’t think that Cal Thomas is entitled to his opinion

She’s real, that’s what got them scared $^i1less, they’ve never seen such a thing, they know there’s no way to kill this Godgorgious monster , but their natural reaction is to throw sticks and stones in hopeless attempts at reprise before they turn tail and run for cover.

Cal Thomas is a buffoon.

He should be protected from himself by having all his writings scrutinized for stupid clangers like this.

Cal Thomas is a RINO and a shill for the Democrats and a beltway libtard, and a Satan worshiper. Did I miss anything?

You missed the obvious: "He hates Sarah Palin because she's beautiful."

My, oh my. The lib debating tactics return. No one said Cal Thomas can't have his opinion. I just see a lot of mocking of that opinion.

That's a pretty weak strawman you put up and knocked down.

"Did I miss anything?"

I think I heard that he's also an anti-semite neo-con.

Or at least that's the rumor I'm spreading.

LOL!!!!! The comments on this thread read like an SNL parody of what FR would look like. Thomas is correct; and the silly responses to his rather obvious suggestions are downright embarrassing.

" Reads like Cal wants an invitation to a RINO marshmallow roast."

Or a long range contract for a syndicated column?

First Lowry, now Cal. I like Cal too but he seems to miss the point. Her popularity is due to who she is, not who she isn’t. His advise - you only need to change one thing...and that’s everything. Hair advice? From Cal?? Have these pundits lost it?

"When is a politician deemed ‘ripe’?"

When they're owned, and controlled, lock, stock, and barrel, by the intrests that have been in control of this country for far too long!

I can't believe Cal Thomas wrote this drivel. The last part about her needing a complete makeover for her looks is so stupid as to be laughable. Can you imagine the backlash against a conservative writer who suggested that a liberal woman get a makeover to be electable? I can hear the shrieks of "SEXIST PIG!" already.

I sure hope Palin is taking notes on who in the GOP is trashing her now, so when she is crushing all other GOP candidates in the 2012 primary, and then sends ZerObama to an early retirement, that she can tell them to take a hike when they come slithering back to get "access" and claim "we were with you all the way!"

Is anyone really surprised that a FOX GOP pundit write this? I’m not.
