“He doesn’t like skirts”

“Actually, Kraut and Rove need to just STFU and STFD like good little RINO boys.

Yeah, Johnnie...

No way Freepers tolerate moronic comments. Right?

I saw part of Krauthammer on O’Reilly last night and he bristled up and got pretty snippy about this race. I would have to look at the clip but I think he said that Delaware belongs to the Bidens and they know a lot more about it than “you, I or in all due respect Sarah Palin”. He said that the first thing that matters is who controls the Senate and something about Castle would have allowed that but with O’Donnell it won’t happen more or less. He was adament and condescending. I say what good is Castle when you see the benefit of having senators like Spector. They are of much more benefit to the Dems. The more I read about Castle, I see what a joke he has been as a Republican. Maybe Delaware used to belong to the Bidens but hopefully they are awake now.

Poll: Coons 53%, O’Donnell 42%....history on numbers this close to an election means...50%+ = winner of election...that’s the facts, folks.

O'donnell might not need any help, she has a million dollar kitty, and more coming in, and only a 10 point spread between her and the encumbant.

I'd say O'donnell has a fighting chance.

Sarah will help IF she thinks she can. Its too early yet.

I am surprised to find Krauthammer is such a blue blood country club Republican.Both he and Rove do not want to see the Republican party reflect the will of the people.He is with the Newt/Boehner crowd. Thats quite a surprise. I won't be listening to Krauthammer much from now on out.He does not want to see the rejuvination of the Republican party.They are about to find that the people will have something to say about that.

That bothers Krauthammer.And the reason why the KRAYT is foaming at the mouth , is that Odonnell has a good chance of winning, giving the lie to the RINO addage that conservative candidtaes are unelectable to moderate "mainstream" America. THE FACT IS CONSERVATIVES ARE MAIN STREAM AMERICA!The Kraut and the whole ble blood country club Republicans still do not get it. They are OUT OF TOUCH!

GO TEA PARTY!!!

Sorry your are stuck on stupid.

Try learning the difference between slogan, opinions and facts. Your ignorance of the difference is inexcusable in a supposedly adult mind.

As I have learned from Jews about their dislike for Christians. This is why they vote Democrat so often. Krauthammer is a Jew and a life long Democrat. It is not hard to figure why Krauthammer hate this woman so much. Many Jews hate Palin also. You are an A-hole.

That is exactly what I am thinking....EXPOSE that Marxist Coons with every sentence out of your mouth, Kraut!!!!! Get the Truth out there....MEDIA is WHY we are in this mess in the first place.

The Marxist lies and cognitive dissonance that the media constantly spews has got to end.

Great! Freepers on the move!
You are SO right - once the teeth of socialism sink in, we will have to go through hell to get rid of them in the end...am too old to go through that and love my kid too much to want him to experience that kind of struggle.

The “good thing” is that, thanks to our genius founding fathers, the genie of freedom is out of the bottle and can’t be stuffed back in...

Palin: “I’ll do whatever I can. I want to help, though, and not hurt,” she told Fox News. “And, you know, sometimes it’s a double-edged sword there if my name is connected to anybody.”

Safe to say Palin has a good handle on this climate, and if she thinks her presence would hurt O'Donnell more than help, then she is essentially making Krauthammer's point.

There's nothing Coons "Harry's Pet" would like to do more than paint O'Donnell as Palin's Or Karl Rove's "pet" for that matter.

Registration Totals in Delaware are:
R - 182,796
D - 292,738
I - 146,212

The question is how much Democrat turnout can be repressed, and how much "Independents" can be turned in her favor.

Republican turnout will be as good this year as it ever can be.

If Independents cut as much as 2-to-1 in O'Donnell's favor then it depends on Dem turnout.

Dem turnout will be lower...but someone like Palin will fire up the moonbats to go vote against her in hatred. Tea Party conservatives obviously don't need any motivation.

Got that right. The GOP is really stupid for going against the people.

Clean house big time of the rats and the rinos which is really the same thing. They want to stay on the gravy train.

All you've done is call names. That's it. Two postings and not one logical thought, but lots of invective.

My only comment, which you have proved in spades at this point, is that any criticism, even factually valid criticism of Palin and Bachman will result in rabid frothing at the mouth by their supporters. (See your previous two posts, for example.)

Are Bachman and Palin neo-cons?

In the case of Palin all the evidence points to "yes". Palin was trained by Bill Kristol to answer foreign policy questions in the VP debates. That's not a "ignorant Leftist clown talking point", it's a fact, MNJohnnie.

Remember many of us voted for Bush thinking he was a conservative, or hoping that he would be a conservative. Like Palin, he didn't know much about foreign policy, either. So, especially after 9/11 he turned to the neo-con cabal of Kristol, Frum (ha ha ha!, Bush's "Axis of Evil" speechwriter), Paul Wolfowitz, etc. and did what they told him to. You may consider the last decade of "nation building" in Iraq and Afghanistan a success. I do not.

What we got from Bush was classic NeoConservatism. Lefty social policy with a aggressive and military-led foreign policy. "Medicare Section D" "No Child Left Behind" and other liberal social programs, along with two large wars against Islam.

McCain was more of the same. His foreign policy advisors were all neocons: Max Boot, Robert Kagan, John Bolton. It is not surprising that he got his butt whipped, many Americans have had it with that crew and their ideology.

Palin was McCain's running mate. That doesn't mean she agreed with every single policy of his, but it does mean she was in broad agreement and saw him as a viable leader for the our party and our nation. Again, it's not a game-ending damnation, but it does call into question her political philosophy.

Here is the introduction to the Wikipedia article on Neoconservatism:

Neoconservatism is a political philosophy that emerged in the United States of America, which supports using modern American economic and military power to bring liberalism, democracy, and human rights to other countries.[1][2][3] Consequently the term is chiefly applicable to certain Americans and their strong supporters. In economics, unlike paleoconservatives and libertarians, neoconservatives are generally comfortable with a welfare state; and, while rhetorically supportive of free markets, they are willing to interfere for overriding social purposes.[4]

I do not believe that it is possible to bring liberalism, democracy and human rights to other countries with our military.

Much of the world isn't ready for democracy. Bush insisted that the PLO hold free and fair elections in the Occupied Territories and Hamas won.

It used to be that bizzare ideas like making Islamic Arab lands liberal democracies was limited to looney leftists like Jimmy Carter, while Republicans were made of sterner stuff and dealt with the the reality of the world as it is. Nixon and Kissingers 'real-politic', Jeanne Kirkpatricks blunt acknowledgement that South America did better with authoritarian government than democracy.

I support a return to the authentically conservative foreign policy of the GOP past, not the topsy-turvey idealism of Kristol et. al.

I support a return to true fiscal conservatism, too. Not more "socialism light". I'm against amnesty, unlike Bush, McCain, Kristol and Palin. The NeoCon support for Amnesty is based on their false philosphical belief that all peoples are fundamentally the same. Only chlidren, liberals and neocons believe such dreck. Does Palin? Again, we don't know yet but all signs point to yes.

Palin has done an excellent job is supporting more conservative candidates in the primaries and helping knock off some RINOS.

She also went and helped John McCain survive his primary challenge, so if we end up with only 49 GOP Senators we can all look forward to the "Maverick" stabbing conservatives in the back for another two years.

Still on balance she made a positive contribution to the cause this summer. As I've said previously, I'm certainly willing to hear more from her, but part of what I will have to hear is a strong repudiation of many of the ideas of Bush and her mentors McCain and Kristol.

If you have something intelligent to say, say it. Otherwise quit with the childish name calling. You're a better person than that, I'm sure.

ANY charismatic, effective conservative who is a palpable threat to the Left is going to “fire up the moonbats”.

Sarah Palin is IT, and she is IT by far. There is no one even close at this point. Tiptoeing in fear of blowback gets us nowhere.

And what exactly is an “Independent”.

I’m a rock-ribbed conservative, across the board, but as the Republican Party no longer represents my viewpoint, I am technically an “independent”.

So, let the candidates worry about wooing me, over here on the “far right”.

Hey look at me, worry about getting my vote, fret over pleasing me: I’m an independent.

I think this behavior from him and Rove is only helping O’donnel right now. You can’t buy this kind of exposure.

I agree.

Their willingness to sacrifice their reputations and possibly their polical careers for her to win is admirable.

I remember Charles telling Palin she should leave the room and let the adults do health care reform after she made the ‘death panel’ statement...

You have to remember CK is a neo-con - basically a JFK democrat that went extinct fifty years ago. He’s not comfortable with the base of the republican party - he’s pro-gun control/anti-second ammendment, pro amnesty and wants a powerful federal government.
