I heard the end of this Michael Smerconish interview this morning on the way to work. He fell all over her. It was kind of pathetic.

Release the hounds!

Forgive me the errors in format. I tried to bold the questions, but failed in some spots.

The fact that the left absolutely loves her tells me she is nothing more than a lib. She should just change parties and stop pretending.

I was relieved when I looked through your posts to see that you are capable of communicating through the written word as well as images. Not much written word, but it is there.

Yeah, she’s so GOP she endorsed the Dem over the other Republican who ran as a Conservative.

She is spinning like a centrifuge.

And Smerconish is a horse’s @ss.

but I really think I govern according to the Constitution and I live my personal life according to my faith, and I try very hard not to mix up the two.

Reminds me of the old Steve Taylor song "It's a Personal Thing":


It's a personal thing, and I find it odd
That you would question my believing in a personal God
I'm devout, I'm sincere, ask my mother if you doubt it
I'm religious, but I'd rather not get radical about it
the old-time believers had timidity and grace
but this new generation doesn't know its place
you're entitled to believe, but the latest Gallup Poll
says you mustn't interfere--that's the government's role

It's a personal thing, and I boldly state
that my views on morality will have to wait
'til my personal life's out of the public eye
and the limitations statute can protect my alibi
I'm devout, I'm sincere, and I'm proud to say
that it's had exactly no effect on who I am today
I believe for the benefit for all manking
in the total separation of church and mind

It's a personal thing, and I plainly speak
(from the same code of ethics that I held last week)
as I promised if elected this election day
with the help of God almight...I'll do it my way

Why did you endorse Bill Owens?

That is an obvious question to ask, Smerconish is an idiot.

Chuck and Rahm made her a deal she couldn’t refuse.

I can’t wait until the details come out.

Since when is a strident leftist who supports all of Obama’s actions and is married to an ACORN-linked union goon a “moderate”?

I know, I know, since forever. But it’s still galling.

I’m just guessing here, but if you don’t let your faith interfere with your job you don’t have much of a faith. Or much of a job.

Whether it’s less government dependency, promoting self-sufficiency, believing in lower taxes, believing in fewer government regulations, believing in less government spending

I've heard words like that before. They're words Republicans like to use a lot before they get into congress and forget all about them.

I think the lesson to be learned from this is to both the GOP establishment and conservatives — they need each other to win.

It needs to start with the GOP returning to the party of fiscal conservatism. But also, conservatives need to understand the limits to their power. They can choose when a Republican loses, as they did here and with John McCain, but they cannot win entirely on their own.

The idea the conservatives caused John McCain to lose is a complete fallacy that can not be backed up with a single fact. John McCain didn't need anyone's help to lose.
