The GOP has found its patron saint in Sarah Palin (Gag me!)

I saw the other day that George W. Bush is raising money for his proposed policy institute at Southern Methodist University. I did some research and found out that there are something like 3,000 policy institutes, most of them hosting convocations about nothing much and issuing papers no one reads. I suggest, therefore, that Bush use his money to do something truly different and constructive - establish the Institute for the Study of Sarah Palin. My check is in the mail.

Study Sarah Palin. If she's a comer, then we're all a goner.

Better face it, asshat, she's a comer and Obummer is a goner.

As it stands it'll take at least forty years to reverse the evil this imbecilic communist muslim, with help from an equally evil Congress, is foisting on America!

If Palin is such a joke and so out-of-touch with Americans and stands no chance of winning...

Why is the left contorting itself to ridicule her, insult her, and trying to ruin her?

They are so afraid of her, it is funny.

My FRiends, whether you support Palin or not, when people ridicule her in front of you, it would be very wise (for the benefit of whatever conservative candidate you do support if not Palin) to BOLDLY defend her. Counter argue and shut up the opposition.

They are applying the standard Alinsky method of identifying the opposition, freezing it, and RIDICULING it in order to shut us up and abandon not only our candidates out of fear of being ridiculed, BUT TO ABANDON OUR VERY PRINCIPLES.

Remember, ridicule is an ad hominem attack and is the favored refuge of those who have no sound argument, because it makes them look jovial and good-natured and hides the vicious face behind their laughing facade.

After years of hearing how Obama is a man-god, and ten months of seeing him actually hold a job, that there are still idiots like this guy defending him proves only that liberals hold on to disproven beliefs (like Marxism and Alinskyism) like a Palestinian to a belt of dynamite, and for the same reasons.

Sounds like Dick Cohen has a pathological fear of a real woman. How like a liberal.

Obama has been holding a job for the last 10 months?

I think he’s been on actual vacation delaying major decisions for most of that.

Must be strange to wake up every day believing you’re actually intelligent, feeling that arrogance rise up in your throat, hating everyone who doesn’t believe in Marxism and the overthrow of America, with that constant need to be perceived as the smartest guy in the room, when you’re actually an effeminate asshole with the IQ of a small appliance light bulb.

****It may be asking too much of Bush to put his money into something useful instead of the standard presidential monument of self-aggrandizement.***

Still bashing Bush!!!!

I miss George Bush and I think we will all be missing King George III before this nightmare comes to an end.

“If she’s a comer, then we’re all a goner.”

Cohen and his tribe drip with elitist condensation.

I’m glad Sarah is whacking Couric and Gibson. Hope she advances the meme.

Could those who fault Barack Obama for being callow and inexperienced imagine Palin meeting with the Chinese

Democrats really need to shut up about meeting with the Chinese.

Clinton gave the Chinese vital missile technology

Obama just gave them Taiwan.

Sarah already met with the Chinese and performed very well - and she didn't betray anybody while she was there.

What hateful fools they are caught up in their own arrogance to think this is not being noticed and questioned by people who are not politically tied to 0bama and the Demonrats and, in fact, are learning how they were suckered into this disaster. 0bama and the media are Palin’s best friends as they are the best examples of what was supposed to be ‘qualified’ and ‘intelligent’. But the panic continues on and they are self-destructing in the process.

Does he mean the same Sarah that negotiated the largest contract ever in human history-—$40 billion for a transcontinental gas pipeline from Alaska through Canada and down to the lower 48 to be deposited in four different locations. The contract that Alaska politicians had tried to secure for over 30 years—and Sarah finally did it!! That same Sarah?????

We really know the answer WHY! They are so incapable of ignoring her because they KNOW she will have an audience wherever she goes and is challenging the media’s part in politics and their liberal, fascist, Demonrat biases and their ties to bringing 0bama to power and being his whore. They are all panicked because she openly questions and brings out the radical nature of Demonrat politics which is very rare with so many cowardly Republicans. She is a threat like no other to them because of the power of the people attracted to learning more about her and seeing her and the inevitable realization that the media has wrongly characterized her. Opinions change and most certainly will be helped by 0bama and the Demonrats exposed for all to see and the ‘I told you so’ coming up.

Well said!

It would be interesting to compare the length of this pipeline with that of the great Wall of China.

All good points.

I think her primary objective at this point, though, is to force the RNC to ask her base to accept THEM.

She is forcing the GOP to the right. If they don’t follow, they lose. If they do follow they win.

But unlike before, if they follow and win and then abandon, they will be hounded out of office. So RINOs need not come knocking.

She’s doing a fine job in her primary objective. And it was very wise of her to resign and approach this from the outside.

Those who advise her to do otherwise, to shut up, or to become more centrist, are hacks who don’t really understand the art of political warfare.
