Duncan Hunter could not get it done. Fred Thompson could not get it done.
And then McCain, quite unintentionally, unleashes the previously unknown Palin upon the political scene. She takes the Conservative movement by storm, but in so doing brings down the worst sort of smears and vicious attacks upon herself and her family, not only from libs, but also from within the corrupt GOP. No one was there to help her, as she was bottled up in Alaska and on her own for all intents and purposes.
Now that she has freed herself from the trap and is about to launch a Nationwide Conservative campaign, we are rallying around her. But there are those like you, Bob, who are deriding our support as "blind worship."
Needless to say, I find it reprehensible and even incredible that there are people on this board who not only doubt her, but are completely willing to trash her in favor of the same ol' RINO fare we've been force-fed over the years.
It is now my firm opinion that there are a bunch of damned hypocrites on this board who are all mouth and no gumption. You've been pining away for years for a Conservative who you can rally around. Now that we've got one, you not only run away from her, but you also sneer at those of us who are lining up behind her.
Screw you all, I say!
I’ll just refer you to his post #44. That says it all.
Preach!
You should say whatever is on your mind. I support that even if I can’t agree with you in total.
Bob J, you, ReneeLynn (who I pinged in here since she referred me to it), and I each want a conservative to represent us in 2012. We want one to help get conservatives elected in 2010 too. And the best candidate to do that, will be someone who has less baggage to carry around in 2010.
That’s the reason why I was disappointed in Palin stepping down. You and I can understand why she did. We’re conservatives. Of course we will. As I have said to others, we simply cannot get Sarah elected on our own.
Independents and Democrats who saw Bill and Hillary Clinton get skewered for eight years and hang in there, are not going to be particularly impressed by Sarah taking darts for two and a half years and bailing. And yes I do think Bill was a crook and Sarah is not. And yes I saw them target her family like a bunch of animals, it’s not me you have to win over. It’s going to be the Independents and Democrats who won’t see her justification for stepping down as anything other than whining. And even if I don’t believe it can be relegated to that, my opinion doesn’t count. Palin would get my vote if she were running. It’s theirs that is very important if we want to see her be President.
No, Duncan and Fred didn’t get it done. You’re changing subjects. Nothing they did or said will mitigate what Sarah Palin has done, good or bad, so they just don’t count here.
What trap? Look, if you’re going to use terms like that, they must be universally accepted. No Independents or Democrats are going to see a sitting Governor as existing in a trap simply because they are tasked with fulfilling the job the voters elected them to do. And once again, no amount of what the Independents and Democrats are going to see as whining, will change that.
Bob is not asking you to understand this. I am. You may not like the dynamics we face as a party with regard to Palin, but I am. Die hard loyalty is admirable if it’s going to get you to the promised land. Die hard loyalty to someone who may have fatally shot their political future in the head, as it relates to Independents and Democrats is not.
Couple the decision to step down with the announcement of plans to keep the Democrats in the majority, even if couched with conservative intent, still leaves Pelosi in control of the House agenda. That’s a non-starter for me.
I don’t necessarily ask you to agree, but it’s something you should at the very least consider.
very nice VR
This is symptomatic of a defeated, collaborative wing of the GOP that wants nothing more than to be thought well of by the Left, which they believe has decisively won the political and cultural battles of the twentieth century. Their goal in 2012 is to find a bland, pleasant, “moderate” Republican, who can win the approval of the media mullahs as a “serious candidate,” then lose gracefully.
