Anti-Palin post at # 2. New record. Frantzie currently holds the #1 anti-Palin position.
It wasn’t name calling or meant to be an insult, when you say that a slogan like “common sense conservative” would only have an effect on someone that is going to vote for Obama anyway, that is ignorant of how elections are won, and how the deciding voters are pulled from the mushy middle of the none “intelligent” voters as you described the ones that slogans have no effect on.
Elections are decided by the 20% that are not already predetermined partisans, marketing your goods with slogans and image, does work with that crowd.
I agree with you on that. Those guys you named, along with almost all the Senate incumbents, are anything BUT conservative, save for DeMint, Coburn, Inhofe, Sessions and I guess I could name a couple more if I put my mind to it.
My motto for the Senate: RE-ELECT NOBODY, with scant few exceptions (like DeMint & Coburn, both standing for re-election this year).
Just a matter of curiousity and I may be wrong since I haven’t been following her that closely BUT, I can’t recall Palin endorsing a male candidate when a female candidate was in the race. Anyone???
This crap about New Hampshire being important is getting old. Candidates go up there and kiss arse for a year, so what. I love that even after a year of campaigning up there, voters say well I haven’t made up my mind yet. Why not? Are you stupid? The voters in NH don’t vote for whoever won Iowa so they can look smart. In the last several elections the winner of NH primary has gone on to lose the nomination.
This is a RINO out. I think you can secure the border then engage in deportation through attrition. Cut off the ENDLESS benefits and access to schools and employment and they will leave.
Constitutional and Common sense are good descriptive adjectives and or, in the case of “common sense” an adjectival phrase.
I have never heard Sarah Palin use the term “compassionate conservative” which is a Bush term used as a backhanded swipe at Reagan IMHO. It is a phrase that makes the bile rise in my throat. I hope she never uses it.
I must have missed the several other posters, however, those were not the ones I asked.
What is wrong with being a plain old conservative?
Actually what bugs me about it is that it reminds me of the 2008 campaign where every stop was an almost exact replay of the one before it.
I know that was not Palin’s fault, but the media would cut away quick when the same old same old began.
They all do it to a degree. Obama had several schticks. One for the mostly black crowds, like when he promised the pie, that is whatever pie is left after Michelle is done, one for the whites and one for the union crowds.
The words get worn out and ineffective after a while.
I guess I hate the repetition.
Now don’t refudiate me.
You do know that if we take the House and/or Senate, those dirtbags will manage to ruin anything positive we try to do.
They will ruin our 2012 chances.
Warning: Addictive (but you already knew that).
Cheers!
Remember when a conservative was a conservative? Now we have Compassionate Conservatives, Fiscal Conservatives, Common-Sense Conservatives, etc.
It's become quite apparent what the qualifiers mean.
You made them look like Marty Feldman.

Here are some things about her:
“As I noted back in 2005, Ayotte, New Hampshire’s Attorney General, was typically spineless and aided and abetted the illegal alien invasion. She was one of those mostly liberal local and state politicians who refused to enforce immigration laws and stopped police from doing so. Ayotte forbade state police from enforcing trespassing laws against illegal aliens and using them to take the aliens off the street.
New Hampshire’s cowardly attorney general Kelly Ayotte refused to appeal trespassing charges against illegal immigrants.
Ayotte also instructed New Hampshire police chiefs not to use the trespassing laws to take undocumented workers off the street. Remember Ayotte’s wimpishness in any of her future runs for office.
Ayotte is now presenting herself as a conservative and tea party style candidate. That’s baloney. She’s a career politician who did the wrong things while in office. Don’t give her a chance to repeat those wrong things in the U.S. Senate.”

It's almost impossible to hear what the candidate is saying; as other posters have pointed out, most people only stat paying attention a month or so before the election, so you have to repeat one easily-digested mantra (at most two or three) in the hopes they will SINK IN; and if you try to go into details, the wordsmiths of the chattering classes will twist your phrases to your detriment.
The disadvantages of a mass market.

Pay close attention and remember this.
Common sense means looking at a thing for what it is.
Not looking at process, or labels, or personalities. Most of all, not looking at political correctness.
Common sense is simply favoring substance over style. It’s God-given wisdom.
Conservatives have always been more substance-oriented while liberals are drawn to style.
Good post. While I mainly agree with you, I still must push for the most Conservative, not the lesser of two(after primaries) or three evils. Now, I understand and can except a few “horse trading,” ie. DeMint & Graham, I still don’t like it, but I understand.
Let my ask you this, while I’m not terribaly impressed with Mrs. Palin, and when you shill on Fox, you’re not much to me. She has been somewhat of a “kingmaker” on her endorsements. It all seems odd.
