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).
Dear Michael,
The GOP and supporting cast of media darlings is wasting their time trying to paint Sarah Palin and the Tea Party as the problem. We are not the one’s who got this country in the mess it’s in! The Democrats and liberal establishment GOP are the problem and “we the people” have finally figured that out! Christine O’Donnell, for example, was the most serious “conservative” candidate in the game and might have pulled it off were it not for the establishment GOP and supporting cast of media doing all in their power to tear her down and put her on defense about things that don’t matter! Some of us actually listened to her message and it was the right message for this country! Did you notice that she raised over $3 Million in a few days from contributions from all over the country? That should have been an important message to the GOP – WE WANT CONSERVATIVE VALUES IN OUR LEADERSHIP! But the GOP did not get behind her and the socialist aka Castle was too bitter to put his support behind the candidate the people choose in the primaries! O’Donnell could have won had she been treated fairly by the media (fat chance) and the GOP. When O’Donnell debated Coons, she had to debate 3 people – Coons AND the two moderators (and if you watched that debate with an objective I you know I’m right)!
We the people want to get back to true conservative values! If we are going to elect socialists and Marxists, I’d rather they be Democrats than RINOs! Ok, so not all of Palin’s endorsements won – but here’s a news flash – a record number of her endorsements did win – but you want to focus only on the ones that did not win! If the GOP tries to fight the Palins of the world who have honest convictions based on solid conservative values, they are going to loose that fight. Trust me on this!
The Tea Party isn’t going away and we are no longer going to tolerate the liberalization of the GOP. And we are no longer going to be swayed by straw-man arguments like the one you present about Palin where you cherry-pick your facts to try to paint her (and us) as extremists (and as an aside, you mischaracterize Tancredo – you intentionally left out the word ILLEGAL when paining him as fanning “anti-immigrant” sentiment. I suspect that was intentional on your part when you know darned well he is against ILLEGAL immigration, not legal immigration). You know that but you choose to ignore it, as does most of the media when discussing “illegal” immigration opponents!
Keep trying to tear Palin down pal – to many of us she is Joan of Arc and she will prevail! You can take that to the bank! The real story here is not the title of your article, the real story is “The Tea Party and Sarah Palin’s GOP and left-wing Media Problem.”
Respectfully,
Signed
