Poll: Tea Party Shows Prospects; Less So for Sarah Palin

35 Percent of Americans express a favorable opinion of the Tea Party Movement

The Tea Party movement has the potential for significant political clout, but with challenges: high negatives, a fuzzy image and broader-than-ever skepticism about one of its most prominent backers, former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.....

"You alsodon’t know me at all. If you want a clue maybe you can ask some of the giants of FR who worked with me for years building this website and Jim up to what it is...or what it could have been."

Sounds like you have a bad case of DEES...'disgruntled ex-employee syndrome'. Except that...you'd have to have been getting paid to be an ex-employee. Sooooo....

maybe just a case of sour grapes/jerkitis.

One thing's for certain....now. If Zero is electable.....

ANYBODY is.

“There are many, many posters on FR who raise questions about Palin every day. But Bob has decided he will insult and demean Palin supporters every chance he gets. That’s not brave, that is being a jerk.”

Some of the Palin-supporter critics go way beyond me, but for some reason I hold a a particular value as a target.

Why do you fear me, don't you? Otherwise why would you all those engaging in the same tactics go after me with same kind of venom and fervor that we see with Palin and her critics in the MSM?

I doubt you and those who engage in such tactics will not see the irony of your actions. That is why I do what I do..but mainly for others to see. And they do see, which is one of your blind spots.

Let me put it simply. You are the conservative MSM...at least you mimic it.

And what's the difference?

Fair enough, sour grapes. But sour grapes are only a joke to those who didn’t have to eat them.

To those that did...they were pretty horrible.

The electorate is stupid, but not twice in a row.

Twice, thrice and more.

Stupid is as stupid does, after all. And America has an awful lot of really stupid people these days.

I’m asking you what you think. If one thing is certain, the definition of “conservative” on FR is kind of a free flowing concept.

So I wanted to know what you meant before I replied.

How come anyone who is afraid to say what they beleive it means for fear of looking like a buffoon always answers “You don’t know? Figures.”

If I was an attorney I would object as a non-responsive answer. So I ask you again, what does “conservative” mean to you?

BTW - My answer was posted above. I’m not afraid.

So let me see, the clean up hitter dirtboy was sent to the bench whiffing on three consecutive hanging curve balls down the middle, now they’ve brought in the third string pitcher for designated hitter duty.

You guys got anyone with some juice?

You know I used to reserve this stuff for the libs, it’s sad to see I need to use it against my own team.

But sometimes an enema can be good for the soul.

I swear, the freshness of your punditry cuts like a knife through the Brie cheese of my defenses.

Stop it now before I am reduced to slobbering pile of barren fecundity.

I apologize to those expecting further FR illumination, I have reached the “glib” portion of my evening.

"How come anyone who is afraid to say what they beleive it means for fear of looking like a buffoon always answers “You don’t know? Figures.”"

I can't answer for anyone else. I can only answer for myself. A real conservative believes in following the constitution. If one merely follows the constitution, everything is covered. The founding fathers were a helluva lot smarter than the boobs we have in DC now. They foresaw the pitfalls we're up against and safeguarded against the dangers with their wording in that document. The problems we're having come from NOT following and/or ignoring the constitution...and from letting anyone.... leftists, RINOs, pretendapresidents, etc., consistently crap all over that document. We, the People, are supposed to uphold that document and insist that our "leaders" do the same. We are failing miserably at doing our duty.

And btw, what on earth makes you ""think"" I would be afraid to say what I believe? I personally don't care if anyone agrees with my assessment of what a real conservative is. You're delusional.

Okay, what is your definition of “conservatism”?

Verbosity is not substitute for illumination.

Oh please. Get over yourself. And while you’re at it....

instead of playing the whiny betrayed martyr....

admit it. I know it and you know it.

The only reason you battled the lefties for so long is because you ENJOY the conflict. Good times.

“A real conservative believes in following the constitution.’

So if I wanted to own slaves and then believed they equalled 2/3rds of an actual white person, that would define me as a conservative?
