She Broke the G.O.P. and Now She Owns It

SARAH PALIN and Al Sharpton don’t ordinarily have much in common, but they achieved a rare harmonic convergence at Michael Jackson’s memorial service. When Sharpton told the singer’s children it was their daddy’s adversaries, not their daddy, who were “strange,” he was channeling the pugnacious argument the Alaska governor had made the week before. There was nothing strange about her decision to quit in midterm, Palin told America. What’s strange — or “insane,” in her lingo — are the critics who dare question her erratic behavior on the national stage...

[skimbell]

Geez! The Left just will not quit on Palin.

I believe it was the McCain crowd that broke the GOP.

The RAT party is broken too, they just don’t know it yet.

[armymarinemom]

Funny, the NY Slimes gave the impression that Rush owned the GOP.

[DManA]

The only things erratic are the myths Rich and other character assassins made up about her.

[SandRat]

You forgot the P.D.S. alert.

[digger48]

Consider the source. Frank Rich is just another one of the ugly girls scratching at the prom queeen.

[Clara Lou]

Frank Rich— a little pustule on the derriere of the US.

[Last Dakotan]

So? like the UAW and General Motors?

[Yankee]

[Grampa Dave]

The limp wristed Jayson Blairs of the Slimes like this maggot infected excuse of a human and other left wing MSM outlets have never understood what Sarah stands for with the decent people of America.

[P-Marlowe]

SPDS.

I’m sure you are a Frank Rich fan, most of you Log Cabin boys are.

Somebody needed to "break" the GOP, it was going hysterically leftward and needed a good slap in the collective faces of the McCain gang.

Insofar as Palin goes, I can't think of a better person on the planet to "own" the GOP...and all of its voters. *wink wink*, you betcha.

McCain used Palin to boost his numbers, but as soon as the egomaniac saw that she was the dominant force, and not him, he turned on her. McCain is a joke that should be put out to pasture.

So, it's down to figuring out what the definition of "broke" is...based on the GOP of the last few years, I'd say it was a good thing - it needs a good breaking up. Maybe that will get the attention of the democrats in republican clothing who are trying to infiltrate the GOP to death.

Put Sarah on the National stage, and the RINO's can run, but they can't hide...or maybe that should be "they can run, but they won't get elected".

The GOP should become "Sarah's Party", and with what the left has shown us in the last 6 months about their loyalty to the Constitution and America, they should be put out to pasture, permanently.

Commiebama is taking over, and by the time most Americans have the balls to stand up and speak, speaking will be illegal. Think about it.

[Westbrook]

The ‘Publican party was broken LONG before Sarah came on the scene.

As Exhibit A, I present the primary election success of War-Hero-But-Flaming-RINO, John McCain.

[reg45]

Could the same be said of “0”? “He broke the Democratic Party and now he owns it”.

A cri de coeur for Arizona Republicans from the rest of America. Please defeat this RINO in the primary. He's done enough damage to this country.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

no, it was Bush that took the GOP, threw it up in the air and let it smash into the ground into millions of tiny shards. Palin is just trying to pick up the pieces to see if she can crazy glue it back together

[Steamburg]

It’s good that the commies and the RINOS see a butt kicking coming. It’s about time for a conservative party that says get on the bus or get under it. 17 months is a political eternity and with the current leadership, it’s guaranteed to feel that way.
