I think it would be worthwhile to let Norman Ornstein know how we grassroots conservatives feel about Washington thinktanks that claim to be conservative tearing down Palin.

No doubt Ornstein would've looked down his nose at the Gipper. What counts is; Sarah has the right instincts.

The RINOs/Beltway Republicans make me sick! They are totally out-of-touch with the people. They just don’t get it!

Sarah Palin has been saying brilliant things on her Facebook page and it is exploding, it terms of members. Sooner or later, the GOP is going to have to realize that they have NO RIGHT to pre-ordain our candidates and that WE NEED SARAH PALIN!!!!!!

PALIN / BACHMANN, 2012!

“This time there may be a legitimate debate to be had over the dollar’s reserve status, but Sarah Palin is not qualified to participate in it.”

The new America, I suppose. Some are more equal than others.

This is just more rhetoric from the Northeast, Ivy League, country-club Republicans telling us who our nominee should be. We’re not listening to you anymore. Palin is qualified, no doubt about it. End of debate.

Don’t worry Sarah, when ‘people’ talked about the decline of the dollar, etc.

Under Pres. Bush they were deemed Anti-American, Cowards, etc.

Did he have any comment on a certain Chicago politician with even less experience both in elected office, executive elected office and in running a business?

We can’t talk about the economy, only the elites are qualified to talk about the economy.

They have done such a smashing job of it lately after all.

Ornstein was a shill for TARP:

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/politics/july-dec08/senatevote_10-01.html

MARGARET WARNER: Norm, after the failure of the vote on Monday and the markets went south, there was a lot of commentary about the failure of leadership in Washington. Not to lead you to one conclusion, but what do you think is at stake tonight in the Senate actually passing this?

NORMAN ORNSTEIN: Well, I think, you know, if we do not get a package done, then I think we're going to see not just a stock market problem, but we will see that credit crunch hit.

Norman Ornstein is roommates with Al Franken... and he’s not particularly conservative... he mostly hangs out at brookings...

“Mr. Ornstein led a working group of scholars and practitioners that helped shape the law, known as McCain-Feingold, that reformed the campaign financing system.”

Norman, why don’t you give us an exhaustive list of people not qualified. Including all the members of Congress who might be unqualified.

Sent to old Norm today:

If Sarah Palin is "not qualified to participate in (a legitimate debate to be had over the dollar’s reserve status)", then you sir, are not qualified to participate in a discussion of politics.

That being said, I agree with him... facebook postings from someone who isn’t going to be in power any time soon is not really being part of the “debate”...

Dear Norman,

Did you know Alaska has a negative income tax? I rest my case.

Ornstein is an inside-the-Beltway, garden-variety elitist. His views of Palin predominate in DC. She has never lived here, buttered them up, and schmoozed them. She probably doesn’t even know who Ornstein is, and therefore, she is unqualified. This report barely falls under the category of “news,” in that it is exactly what was to be expected from the legions of Ornsteins here.

All you need to know about Mr. Ornstein:

“His greatest political influence may have come in writing substantial portions of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, also known as the “McCain-Feingold” campaign finance bill passed in 2002.”

Palin is really threatening, not just to Obama, Democrats and liberals, but to the entire East Coast establishment.

That's the whole crux of it right there. Palin represent the People more so than any other candidate in the past century, and the elite can't stand it. There's not an ounce of difference between the Repubs and Dems at this point, but we have to play the system in order to overturn it.
