Geez! The Left just will not quit on Palin.

[dforest]

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.

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

[SandRat]

You forgot the P.D.S. alert.

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

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

So? like the UAW and General Motors?

[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”.

[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.

The role of lefty hero is essentially Rich's third act in journalism. In 1994, after 14 high-octane years as drama critic, Rich began to write what you might call cultural op-eds. In these, Rich would stroke his chin about Oprah Winfrey's Beloved or David Hare's The Blue Room—each cultural exemplum supposedly containing clues to desires of the polity. The theorizing had its limits—what, in the end, did Beloved tell us about society? (And Rich has unfortunately produced a crowd of imitators, including Dowd at the Times.) But Rich also had his share of triumphs. In 2003, after moving his column to the "Arts & Leisure" section, he was one of the first journalists to call Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ anti-Semitic. Played out in print and on TV, the Gibson-Rich feud both anticipated the cultural rift of the 2004 presidential election and was sensationally entertaining to boot. After Gibson expressed his desire to see the columnist killed along with his dog, Rich deadpanned, "I don't have a dog." --

His writing obviously provokes strong feelings!

The NYT is GOING to HAVE THEIR WAY with the deck chairs on the Titanic, and THAT’S FINAL!

Palin is the now the most thoroughly vetted politician we have on the right side of the aisle. If there was a dealbreaker of a skeleton in her closet, it would have been found and talked about for three months without stop.

The other contenders are being eliminated (or eliminating themselves), at a steady rate of about one every week or two.

BTW, I really am getting sick of Republicans having to meet a much higher standard than Democrats. A Democrat can do just about anything and get elected or re-elected.

Alcee Hastings is one of the few judges in American history to be impeached and convicted, and he was then elected to Congress. He was found by the Senate to have taken a large bribe in connection with sentencing someone. Now he is a bigwig on an intelligence committee.

I am not saying that we should put up with just anything from our Republican elected officials. But if the other side protects their elected officials, while we tear ours apart for any imperfection, we should not be surprised if we end up with very few people willing to get into the ring.
