At their new political high-water mark, Republicans have plenty of reasons to celebrate - and at least one large cause for worry.
On Election Day, voters shattered the Obama agenda of expanded public benefits and increased income tax progressivity, leaving the president to reassemble his goals with glue and tape. During this midterm cycle, Republicans became reacquainted with estranged friends: independents, seniors, college-educated voters, working-class voters, rural voters and suburban voters. The Republican Party will benefit from the infusion of diverse, attractive new leaders, including some, such as Florida Sen.-elect Marco Rubio, with Tea Party pedigrees.

Palin couldn't get better or more welcome publicity - these RINOs calling her an extremist - than if she rushed into a burning inner city orphanage and saved 20 crippled children.
I wonder if similar medicine will cure Free Republic’s Pissant problem. :p
I think many of her supporters think she’s done that already. And walked on water the entire way.
How bout an article titled “Wapo’s Obama problem.”
It’s amazing the concern the Washington Post is showing towards the Republicans. NOT! This is so predictable, so routine, the enemy telling us to pick people more like them just after they are defeated. No thanks.
The number of articles like this have convinced me of one thing:
There are indeed anti-Palin folks in the party who don’t want her to succeed, but not nearly so many as the press wants us to believe.
Gerson is a republican. One of Bush’s top advisers for awhile
Let the demonization of Sarah continue. The media types have not learned anything from Tuesday. The people will no longer bow to their editorial “authority”. They have been located and educated too far from the majority of everyday Americans to have any real understanding of whom we will or will not be governed by.
Sarah is one big reason the GOP has a majority in the House, and a big reason the GOP picked up Senate seats. She helped show America that the GOP can be better than it was in 2006 when the GOP establishment lost Congress, and in 2008 when the pride of the GOP establishment gave the White House to an extremist clown. Sarah and the Tea Party have encouraged Americans to believe America can be great again. It’s little wonder the intellectual turds of the Washington swill factory are doing their best to stink things up. There pitiful little world is under siege.
number HAS (instead of number have)
Sorry.
In other words, hes a RINO!
We should have a running thread on who produces the daily Palin hitpiece.
Is this about Palin........Hmmm we seem to be hung-up on an individual talking politics. Maybe Mort Kondrake would be good as well.
And the truth of the matter is, these stupid RINO’s distorted view of Palin only helps her. It plays into the hands of her supporters who are already under the impression she’s some rock ribbed conservative.
Right. Palin’s the the reason the GOP can’t win any elections.
Say, Pravda on the Potomac, do you suppose the Rats might have a bit of an Obama problem?
I can’t heeeeear you.
OK spit it out. All of her anti-conservative leanings now.....
I was thinking of asking what you mean when you said she’s not a rock-ribbed conservative—not in a snarky or confrontational way, I just really want to know—but I’ll spare us the inevitable.
I was very skeptical of Palin for the longest time. Recently someone whose opinion I trust above almost all others (and he’s conservative in some ways, not so much in others) convinced me I should support her. But I am always accumulating information, so maybe I’ll have to look around the net for some objective info before I make up my mind.
I don’t much like Palin and I don’t want her to run for President.
Still... there is a divide between the establishment and the insurgents and the establishment blames the insurgents for not helping them win in states like DE, CO, NV and WA where establishment candidates might have prevailed. Of course there is no evidence for that proposition.
What it comes down to is the GOP needs conservatives during an election but afterwards it wants them to go to back of the bus, sit and down and be quiet until it needs them again.
Well.......Spit it OUT
