Great article from a 10 year old.

Alas, not a few well aimed darts.

National Review looks like they will take anybody now. I do not want the RINOs but this screed was totally negative and childish.

That made my head hurt.

Reminds me of:

This guy is a real card. I was going to say that he was going to name Sarah Palin as the one to nominate on Morning Cokehead but then I remembered this fine piece (OS) from this dude.

More signs of decay at NR since Buckley died.

Seems to be intended as satire (by a conservative posing as a Democrat in order to point out vulnerabilities). Who’s left? Thune? Paul Ryan? McDonough? DeMint?

The only ones the Marxists are afraid of is Sarah Palin. That is why they are making a movie about her...to be released in the fall of 2012? Like the movie W. was released October 17, 2008 when all the Left was trying to tie everyone to Bush?
When they start making movies about the others, I'll take them seriously.

The only ones I’m truly interested in are DeMint and Cain. I would love DeMint/Bachmann.

And they always want to pull this “Don’t shoot the messenger” crap. I'm so tired of this cheap technique. Cowards, who won't admit that it's nothing more than their own opinion, and then won't stand behind it.

Heck, I say we draft Allen West. SO what if he just got elected to Congress? His country needs him. He’s served this great USA for over 22 years, is smart, articulate and would single-handedly, tear everyone else up in debates. They wouldn’t be able to blow sunshine up his butt over anything.

He can surround himself with a great cabinet and advisers, and get on-the-job training. Zero did, but, chose inexperienced, marxist radicals to pal around with. Allen would take no prisoners, and I’d pay to watch him debate the phony-in-chief.

This guy penned Rules For Radical Conservatives, which, once you get past the over-the-top style, is actually pretty good.

That's been my choice for almost a year. The more I hear from each, the stronger my belief.

"I Still Hate You Sarah Palin." IIRC, I thought that was his best satire.

More signs of decay at NR since Buckley died.

To each his own, it can be uneven, but there was only one Buckeley.

The only bright spot is that Obama has been so awful. My favorite is still Palin, but her negatives are in the 50s and positives are only in the 20s. So, unless I'm wrong, I don't see her running.

That said, I thought there was a lot of truth in what he wrote. I'm thinking maybe they should try drafting Gen. Petraeus, who's supposed to be stepping down this year according to Daily Caller via Yahoo.

Uh oh. You've done it now. Here come the Sarah Bots, swarming in like a herd of locusts. They're poised to pick your bones dry.

I generally like his stuff at the Breitbart site. These two pieces seemed over the top to me.

I'm thinking maybe they should try drafting Gen. Petraeus, who's supposed to be stepping down this year according to Daily Caller via Yahoo.

Now that would be a game changer, wouldn't it?

You got that right. I made some constructive critiques about her on another thread tonight and the insults came from every direction. I spent an hour arguing the validity of the points I made to no avail.

There’s no reasoning involved when it comes to the Sarah Bots. It’s pure emotion. If you don’t agree that she is a modern day Ronald Reagan their heads explode.

Hey . . . I didn’t mean it . . . I love Sarah . . . I think she would clean Obama’s clock and serve 10 terms as President . . . what . . what are you doing?? Heh . . . what is that in your hands . . . I’m sorry . . . don’t . . . don’t . . . ARRRRGGGGG!

My favorite is still Palin, but her negatives are in the 50s and positives are only in the 20s.

Considering she's in private life and not running for anything, how'd they do that except by innuendo and direct abuse and libel? Assuming arguendo for ten seconds that anything that bozo is telling us is within 15 parsecs of correct.

The assumption GOP establishmentarians and traitorous 'Rat-bastards alike want conservatives to accept, seems to be that Sarah Palin couldn't turn their boasted polling "data" around with the exposure of a political campaign, working her own crowds and speaking at her own engagements. She's toast, it's over before it starts, done deal, ha ha fixed you you punks.

So far what people have mostly seen is the cast of SNL and a couple of McCainiac/Romneybot-scripted campaign appearances. I think Sarah on the campaign trail would be able to war down a lot of that stuff and paint her own picture.

So, all that aside, who does this infantile Moonbat think the GOP "ought" to nominate ("anybody but Palin", of course) if the Pubbies "really" want to win?

Keeping in mind that Jonathan Alter, with a straight face, told Pubbies in 1995 that they had really better get serious about nailing down the nomination for Bob Dole ultra-early, since only Uncle Bob had the gravitas, the real-world realness to rescue the GOP from silliness, irrelevancy, and oblivion (i.e. the then-current MSM campaign of personal destruction they were waging on Newt, Rush, and Dole).

Of course, Alter knew that Dick Morris and Bill Clinton had already poll-tested all the GOP hopefuls to death (with their traitorous Chinese reptile money), and their data showed Dole as the weakest candidate and Slick's best matchup.

And we know how 1996 turned out. It turned out that 1996 was over sometime in 1995, the instant the Republicans believed the crap Alter was telling them.
