Go Home, Sarah. You’re Drunk.
Redstate ^ | 1/20/16 | Susan Wright

Posted on 01/20/2016 8:51:08 AM PST by TBBT

Today we saw someone who was once a rising star in the conservative world explode in an inglorious display of crass opportunism.

Sarah Palin, that darling of a failed John McCain presidential bid, has resurfaced to throw her voice and her support behind the gilded toad of the GOP, Donald Trump. Where she was once a strong Tea Party leader, promoting free market ideas, limited government, and power back in the hands of the people, today she forsook it all, in favor of a big government, foul mouthed, Wall Street liberal with atrocious hair.

Far too often, we see that power corrupts and fame can be an intoxicating drug. Palin and her family became a political hot topic in 2008, targeted by comedians and tabloids, as well as the conservative punditry, anxious to foist this fresh, bold, "Mama Grizzly" into the limelight, and to sweep up ratings for themselves along the way. For a bit, it worked. Voters and TV execs alike were enthralled by she and her whole family. Daughter Bristol, as an unwed mother to a beautiful baby boy, even wrote a book about abstinence and toured the nation to give the warning to wait, don't do what she did, learn from her poor judgment! She even got a reality TV show out of it for a short while.

Do we really have to promote this kind of commentary here? “Go Home, Sarah. You’re Drunk.” Really? I’m a Cruz supporter, and I’m getting sick of this crap. I’m not a Trump fan, and only a Palin fan to a limited extent, but I think we really need to back off this kind of stuff.

So Sarah Palin may support someone you don’t. Is that really a reason to attack her in this way? I think not, but then that’s just IMO.

Excellent post.

Kind of sad to witness all the people going apoplectic on each other over this. It makes conservatives look like a bunch of poo-flinging toddlers, usually characteristics that are reserved for leftist “comedians”.

Personally, I’ve become convinced that if it were ever to make it to a higher court, Ted would fail to meet the criteria for NBC if the spirit of our laws were to be maintained. Also, just something about having a President born in another country rubs me the wrong way. I see the tired argument made time and time again that the Founders weren’t US citizens, but that ignores the fact that they were all born in territories that joined the US at its formation. (I’m ignoring Obama birtherism here, since the charge that he was born in Kenya has gone largely unproved, and I never voted for him anyway.)

I like Ted and I think he has a useful purpose to serve in government, and I’ll vote for him if he gets the nod. But I would hate for the nominee to make it all the way through the convention and then be disqualified, so my Florida primary ballot will go to Trump.

I like Ted Cruz and will support his presidency.
I like Donald Trump and will support his presidency.

The ridiculous infighting by hardcore supporters of either candidate is silly.
We are all both sides of the same coin. Stop Hillary C., Joe B., Elizabeth W., and Bernie S. now!

Seems like some Cruz supporters have formed the ISIS branch of the Republican party and off with anyones head that is not a “true” believer.

SO sums him up.

He may be nominated. If so, he will be destroyed in the General.

Sad that this is where Conservatism has lead us.

From Google: Susan Wright is an American woman from Houston, Texas, who made headlines in 2003 for stabbing her husband, Jeff Wright, 193 times and then burying his body in their backyard.

Having read this crazy article, imagine my surprise to find that the raving mad and rabid author is not the murderer, Susan Wright.

Perhaps they were separated at birth.

Where's the on and off switch for political correctness? Who is allowed to use it? What must one say/do to enjoy the privilege to flip it on and off at will? Why are supporters of the candidate who refuses to be constricted by political correctness so happy to come down on speech they have determine to be politically incorrect?

I think we can chalk it up to Shut-Uppery.

They are all worried that Sarah will do for Trump, what she did for McCain.

I don't think we'll see Eric Ericson on This Week anymore.

I was sort of shocked that Rush had him sub for him during Christmas break.

Do you remember the picture of JR and Ann Coulter?

 

Also taken at a time when Ann was our "conservative darling".

Since Ann has gone looney - we no longer see that, do we?

You may do as you like. Are you suggesting that those of us who disagree have no right to express that?

Red State has jumped the shark. There articles have no resemblance to the truth. Just agenda driven blather.

This could be the day I walk away from the 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. radio time slot after 24 years of listening faithfulness if he can’t remove his lips from Trump’s butt.

You have wasted 24 years if you learned nothing. Rush laid it out exactly right today.

Nope. Just pointing out that you Trump supporters aren't as even-handed in your tolerance as you think you are. The hateful things Trump says don't seem to bother you, but let someone write an article about Palin's quest to be drunk with power/attention and y'all become apoplectic. Hypocrisy much?

Speaking as just a humble FR poster, I think you're missing a key point, ru4. Free Republic is not your neighbor park, where anyone can (and should) be able climb up on a soapbox and say anything they want, PC or not. If someone wants to call Palin a drunk while up on that soapbox, I'll defend his right to do so.

But calling Palin a drunk on FR, nope, that's an entirely different matter. Not comparable at all. IMHO, of course.
