Palin and the GOP's Uncertain Trumpeters
The Patriot Post ^ | 1/23/2016 | Peggy Noonan

Sarah Palin’s public performances continue to be distinctive. Her endorsement of Donald Trump was less speech than podium jazz scat, with some early Elvis thrown in. “Trump’s candidacy, it has exposed not just that tragic, the ramifications of that betrayal of a transformation of our country, but too, he has exposed the complicity on both sides of the aisle that has enabled it, okay?” Essentially: Bee-bop-a-lula he’s my baby. She was scattered, rambly; at moments she foraged through her notes in a way that was almost endearing, looking for lines that would connect and explode. But it’s not as interesting as it used to be because it’s not new.

Noonan, Will and all of the other “Conservative” media pukes are so passe.

It is a new world on the make, with government answerable to the citizens, not the DC Uni-Party.

Peggy’s jealousy is showing.

Don’t like Trump. Used to like Peggy Noonan, but that was about 25 years ago. Living her adult life in NYC has affected her. It shows. She has NYC values...

I’m not going to waste any more of my time arguing with someone that is obviously suffering from a crainial/rectal inversion.

I call ‘em like I see ‘em — based on ample evidence, in this case.

Unprincipled, slobbering fanboi worship isn’t anything to brag about, you know.

typical soaring insight of the followers of certain ethanol supporting McConnell loving deal making types pretending to be outsiders....Also, I'm sorry that the notion of individually written columns is way above your teeny noggin's ability to contemplate.

“Jesus Himself could write a piece critical of The Donald, and he’d be denigrated and ostracized for it.”

Jesus would never do that. You know it, and I know it.

And don’t you think calling your fellow Freepers sycophants is a bit over the top....Hmmmmmmmm, Poodle?

Sure thing, Sweetums.

Someone that has been around here so long (Since Feb 12, 2010) sure has me figured out. Yeppers, the towering intellect of C. Edmund Wright (just ask him) just barely fills up his rather large head.

Blots out the sun, it does.

No, of course He wouldn’t. But if He did...

>> And don’t you think calling your fellow Freepers sycophants is a bit over the top

Not at all. I think it’s an easily supported fact that some (not all) posters here are sycophants. They have abandoned reasoning and principle; they argue loudly in favor of ANYTHING their preferred candidate does or says; they support ABSOLUTELY ANYONE who agrees with their candidate, and denigrate anything and everything that supports their perceived “enemy”. That is sycophantic behavior.

>> Hmmmmmmmm, Poodle?

Not sure where you got that. Care to explain?

****
Peggy took herself off my good-guy list some years ago, and I really did not read the whole piece, but — Dang! — that’s a great line.

I’m trying to be objective here. I don’t see nearly the anger and hate in the TRumpers that I do with the Cruzers. You could easily take your comments and direct them at the them.

syc·o·phant

/ˈsikəˌfant,ˈsikəfənt/

noun

noun: sycophant; plural noun: sycophants

a person who acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage.

synonyms: yes-man, bootlicker, brown-noser, toady, lickspittle, flatterer, flunky, lackey, spaniel, doormat, stooge, cringer, suck, suck-up

Use in a sentence. Ok, how about this?

“I’ve always respected your posts on Free Republic, but of late you’ve been a nodding sycophant for Ted Cruz.”

You mean he writes something you don’t like so he goes off your reservation. My reservation is just fine with him.

Who cares what a Cruz crazy like yourself thinks.

How many FReepers are disgusted with personal attacks like this?

I mean that it’s out of character for him.

Have fun on your reservation.

Well said.

I am so very disappointed at the level of enmity that I see here on FR. In past election cycles we have had some battles, but, this time around, it is very disheartening to see the shrill attacks coming — from both the Cruz and the Trump supporters — among people who call themselves conservative. I suspect that some are just trolls, but, sadly, most are not.

Cruz is my man, but I like what Trump has stirred up with his blunt comments, and I would vote for him in the hope that he would actually protect the borders. Don’t know what else he can fix, but I will pray a lot.

And vice versa for me.

But please note that in my last post, I didn’t say or even insinuate “just Trump fans”. There are Cruz sycophants in the forum as well.
