Ed Rollins is a POS. Frankly, I lost a fair bit of respect for Bachman when she hired him, well before he made that slam on Palin. And I’m someone who was quite geared to support Bachman during her run, as she has a stellar voting record, the best of the lot. But my confidence in her was also later eroded a bit when she would go after Perry, Newt and others tooth-and-nail in the primary debates, but always leave Romney alone. There was something uncomfortably discordant about that.
Still regard Bachman as a totally top-notch conservative “politician” who can be counted on, whatever the issue. But Palin, with her unique mixture of conservatism represents me and my ideology far-and-away more than any other leader on the scene today. Moreso than anyone has since my days of supporting Reagan.
And for those same reasons, my support for Palin eroded.
Palin also called Rick Santorum a knuckle dragging Neanderthal.
Reagan never attacked other conservative Republicans like Palin has. I don’t remember him attacking ANYONE like what she has done.
