That darned Sarah!
She leaves the GOP cold........

Oh yeah, by the way here’s a recent tweet and pic from Scott Conroy @ RCP:

“GOP frontrunner announces. Palin clambake..who makes front page?”

I am sure the 2012 Republican nominee will be Romney, Pawlenty or Houseman.
I have no doubt that the elites of the party are not above stuffing a few ballot boxes to insure this.

Palin, Cain, Bachmann, Santorum. Any one or two of them. That is it. I am very tired of voting GOP because it is the lesser of two evils.

We should be so used to this negative spin Politico-style story by now. Quote a few GOP operatives from Palin’s less-gifted competitors and make it out as if she’s not popular within her party—when poll after poll shows she’s the most favorably viewed among GOP voters.

I would have very much liked to have seen her actually developing a solid GOP/grass roots organization on this tour.

You do not understand what the TP is, how it continues to grow in real, local political clout. This is the largest and most powerful political elction machine in the history of the country.

To the GOP:

Sarah Palin is American, then Conservative, then Republican, and don’t you forget it. That’s why she’s getting more popular while your RINO ideas and go-along-to-get-along attitude in Washington are falling by the wayside. Wake up, you idiots.

Dude:

She doesn’t give a rat’s a@@ about “The Party”.

That’s what’s so refreshing.

She’s CONSERVATIVE.

Get it?

Needs to be repeated and repeated and repeated and.............

Gleason, you’re the one who’s not serious.

If you want to be a leader, you go to the people and you ignore the ruling class. Mr. Gleason, take another look at what Sarah Palin is doing.

Why should Gov Palin or any conservative make nice with any organization that continues to embrace its backstabbing weasels?

Yes, Gov Palin is engaged in a raw power play cloaked in an innocuous appearing bus tour. This should serve as a wake-up call to the elites in the party that they are the ones out of step with mainstream/main street America and change direction.

Sadly the Chardonnay and Cheese crowd in the GOP will probably miss the message.

She will need the organization, even with the TP on her side.

She is meeting with Republicans and conservatives (Ayote, Haley in SC etc.)

But don’t you think she has plenty of time to meet and organize with the ground troops after she announces?

Why does it have to be on this tour,now?

I think she’s doing great.

>>> Is it your position that the repub party stablishmentdoesn’t have a bunch of rinos that need to be purged? Is it your position that the repub party establishment which delights in such candidates as Romney, Guiliani, Dole, etc and fights against the DeMints, Rubios and other real conservatives doesn’t have a rino problem?

And while we’re at it, when did you stop beating your wife.

>>> You do not understand what the TP is, how it continues to grow in real, local political clout. This is the largest and most powerful political elction machine in the history of the country.

As it drifts into Moral Majority territory and away from its bipartisan TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY secular roots, I doubt that.

There’s a dynamic here more powerful than the usual way of doing things. It’s in the polarity between the people and the ruling class. (Not in the false dichotomies fabricated by the ruling class.)

Let’s face it. Palin’s political intuition (and her sense of the basic Constitutional principles) far surpasses that of people like Rob Gleason or the GOP in general.

Ok. Ignore the question which is nothing like your ludicrous example. Go bury your head in the sand some more.
Thanks.

Ah, so when you are purging your lower intestinal tract prior to an endoscopy are you being Stalinist?

I left the GOP, Cold. I am thoroughly enjoying being a CONSERVATIVE INDEPENDENT (not the kind that can’t make up his or her mind, but one who WILL vote for the most conservative candidate.)

Now you are beginning to sound like the MSM and "target"...

Purge, as in remove. I am sure he meant fire the RINOS running the GOP, not kill them.
