Funny how the Gersons of the media, and the Establishment GOP for that matter, are quick to point out that Palin endorsed O'Donnell and Angle in an effort to question her judgement, yet none of them see fit to do the same to Mitt Romney - WHO ALSO ENDORSED THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gee, I wonder why..........

National Tea Party Convention

http://www.myteapartyconvention.com

MEMPHIS, Tennessee (November 1, 2010) – The Memphis TEA Party announced today that it will be the host organization of the National Tea Party Convention which will be held in Memphis, Tennessee from April 7~9, 2011. The event will focus on the theme of Liberty Through Accountability with speakers

We can not afford to pt out another Bob Dole or John McCain in 2012.

The MSM wants nothing more than to foment a civil war within the Republican party. Palin appears to be the fire upon which they can pour gasoline provided by single-sourced, Republican insiders. Keep in mind that those ‘insiders’ are very likely the same gang of geniuses who brought us John McCain.

However, if the Republican establishment does not want the party destroyed, they will openly embrace Sarah Palin. That does not mean they have to support her for President (even I have my reservations about that), but they damn well better take her messages to heart.

[HerrBlucher]

Well, they know that Palin’s endorsement was sincere and Romney’s was just blowing with the wind as usual and not sincere. They understand Romney, they cannot understand anyone that has strong principles that overide personal ambition.

Blah, blah, blah.

I am not going to let up my attacks on the RNC exec committee. Remember they wouldnt allow her to speak? And the slimely behind the scenes staffers/consultants.

On the enemies list of the conservatives in the senate..
McConnel, Cochran, Hatch, Burr, Chambliss, Cornyn, Grassley, Graham, Inhofe, Ensign and a few others. These are the ones that dont want to give up their little kingdoms, earmarks and pork.

Rush will be naming names..count on it.

Michael Gerson pimping Romney
"Romney went on to dispute one of Kennedy's central arguments ...
Romney argued that Mormonism reinforces basic American values
Romney's speech, however, was an achievement.
Kennedy's speech remains a landmark of American rhetoric.
But Romney's deserves to be read beside it."

---

" Instead, the president chose the current complex, regulatory approach to reform,
precisely because it seemed less radical and disruptive than the other options.
It was patterned in part on health reforms in Massachusetts signed by then-Gov. Mitt Romney,
a Republican, thereby applying at least a veneer of bipartisanship.

Wasn't Linda McMahon a party-choice? How about Meg Whitman?

The message that must be drilled into the head of the GOP is that the people are sick of being looted by political hacks of whatever party.

[From The Deer Stand]

The real story is, “The TEA Party and Sarah Palin’s GOP problem.” (The GOP needs to understand that middle-of-the-road is no longer acceptable to the new conservatives).

[rrrod]

every notice they never mention the huckster either?

GOP beware: the times are ripe for a third party.

Purge yourselves of your progressive rino tendencies or accept your inevitable demise.

You are NOT too big to fail if you're not big enough to lead us away from the cliff you and the demonrats are racing to.

I wonder about the use of “high-water mark”.

It implies that what happened on 2 Nov 2010 is cyclic in nature - the democrats will have their own “high-water mark” shortly.

I wouldn't put any money on that statement until the next Congress has adjourned. The dynamics have changed. If the Republicans stay true their promises (a reelection necessity) and the democrats throw a political temper tantrum (a high probability event) during the forth coming lame duck session, the results of Nov 2010 will be regarded as the first in a series of waves, each higher than the last, instead of a cyclic change of the tides.

BTW, ask anyone who lives along the coasts visited by hurricanes - what does more damage tidal changes or wind driven waves.

Once we all quit buying into the Democrat media divide and conquer meme, will will be hitting the pavement and moving down the road.

I heard a democrat say yesterday that their strategy is to do all they can do get us to war with each other.

[Timmy]

It's amazing. The Socialists just got their clocks cleaned across the country, and it's the Republicans who seem to have all the "problems," according to the media.

[FrankR]

The MSM is just trying to stoke a feud between Palin and the GOP cocktail party elites.

The so want to be able to choose our candidate in 2012, a la John McCain't. They know most Conservatives don't like Romney, and he's the media's favorite because of that.

The main thing we have to keep in mind is it will be the PEOPLE who elect the president, not the GOP elites. We have the elites in a bind, because they see the popularity of the TPM and Sarah Palin, and they know if the don't pick her that a big write-in campaign might develop, and that would hurt them, and probably insure a democrat win.

The GOP elites are really hoping the MSM will do the job of alienating Palin from the public, so they won't get the backlash.

It's all a big game from the RINO lap dancer division of the GOP BACK ROOM, and they're playing right along with the MSM.

Plus or minus on the thoughts here... let’s face it, most of the Mama Grizzlies sank on election day... but maybe the voters just won’t be ready for them until ‘12.

There’s definitely a battle going on for control of the Republican party. I said all along that in order for Angle to beat Reid, she would need to overcome the Democrat machine AND the RNC. In the end, it was too much. The sad truth is the RINO wing of the RNC would rather see Harry Reid in office than Sharron Angle!

I think neither side emerged the clear victor in this election. The conservatives won some and the RINOs won some, so don’t expect either side (especially the RINO side) to back down. These RINOs are just as power hungry as Democrats. See Lisa Murkowski for more details.

My email to Gershon....

Michael,

Palin is the solution, not the problem. Being the liberal you are, you just don’t get it.

If you bothered to take a look at the national political landscape (http://www.foxnews.com/interactive/politics/election-map-2010/#race=racesInPlay&pres=false), you would see that the vast majority of this country is conservative.

The national Republican leadership “The Establishment”, is totally out of touch with the rank and file Conservatives. Take the 5th Congressional District in Alabama. Parker Griffith was elected in 2008 as a Democrat. He rode the coattails of Bud Cramer and squeaked in by proclaiming himself to be “conservative”. He got to Washington and fell right in line behind Pelosi and company. Seeing the major political backlash of the healthcare vote, he switched to the GOP right before the primaries.

During the primaries, John Boehnor came to North Alabama and had a fundraiser for Griffith. The “Establishment” Republican leadership welcomed Griffith with open arms. THEY DID NOT LISTEN TO THE LOCAL CONSERVATIVES IN NORTH ALABAMA!

The conservatives were frothing at the mouth to vote Griffith out of office. Griffith was crushed in the primaries by Mo Brooks, then Brooks routed Steve Raby (who ran as a “conservative Democrat”) by 18 pts in the general election.

What Boehnor did is exactly what folks like you keep advocating – Move to the center. I’ve got news for you, the “center” is way to far to the left. Palin recognizes that. Many Americans recognize that. That is why 75% or so of the candidates endorsed by Palin won. The big names who didn’t win, O’Donnell and Angle, were hung out to dry by the “establishment”.

You see, what you don’t understand is that conservatives don’t want guys like Mike Castle in office. He would carry an R by his name, but basically vote as a Democrat. We’re tired of that and would have rather lost the seat than than elect a RINO.

Sarah Palin understands that. She may or may not be the answer as a presidential candidate. But she understands it and is not afraid to call it like it is. If you look at that map closely, you will see that the vast number (geographically) of Americans understand that, too. It is the elitists such as yourself and the Republican Establishment who think you understand what America needs. You don’t know. You don’t understand.

Continue to write your nonsense in the Post. And continue to be wrong.

Watch it - this is part of a week-long media attempt to separate conservatives from republicans. I almost fell for it yesterday, but the plethora of stories saying essentially the same thing (republican good, teaparty/palin bad) has convinced me that this is a bunch of BS.

This is coming from the left. It is a “divide and conquer” tactic.
