What people don’t understand is that unfortunately, this time the liberal media got it right. I don’t listen to them, I came to the conclusion that I did, but heard about it after coming to my own opinion. People really need to wake up. Palin is going to be used to completely destroy what is left of the conservative movement. Very possibly, she will be nominated with the help of Democratic cross-over votes. She’s a lightweight, she doesn’t have the ability to articulate conservative principals. All she does is talking points. She has no substance, she is a cheerleader. That is not repeating anything I have heard, it is the conclusion that I have come to on my own. She’s very divisive too, because she is getting support that she doesn’t deserve. She hasn’t developed herself because she hasn’t had too, and everyone can see it but the base. And that is going to ultimately destroy the Republican Party.

Rearrange the words and sentences in every post, and it’s still the same hateful, liberal, sexist drivel. As the previous poster said, I’ve never seen any rational individual show more disgust and hatred towards a woman, a successful, accomplished, educated, articulate, Conservative, woman and mother, as you. You give cavemen and Mohammadans a bad name. You really ought to seek psychiatric treatment.

Sounds like you are the one hating, who said anything about hating until you mentioned it? I am just pointing out some double standards. I can’t stand double standards because it makes conservatives look like hypocrites. Why can’t people just be honest. Now that I am making a point you get all emotional and accuse me of being hateful? Please. If conservatives would learn to be more honest instead of all the double standards crap they might actually get somewhere. Rush is the king of double standards. In some ways, he has hurt the conservative movement more then he has helped. People need to wake up. Hello, Rush has never stayed married, never raised a family. People need to put what he says into perspective and take what he says with a grain of salt. The guy encourages double standards. Just today he said that conservative need to not do any compromises, then turns right around and promotes the feminist Palin. He needs to listen to what advice he gives and learn to be more consistent.

Yes, ma’am, that’s for sure. That one is truly a certifiable loon. Frankly, I find it very hard to believe rodeo is even a female. It sounds like a gay male who harbors a REAL pathological hatred of strong, successful women. If it is a woman, I weep for her.

No, she’s not articulate, please stop, the woman is incoherent. She doesn’t even know how to talk unless it is a talking point that was memorized. When people insist on obvious non-truths it makes them appear brain dead.

Here's a little exercise for you sweetie:

Take all of your posts one by one and line them up on a document in word and read them through.

If you don't see your abject Palin hatred shining through the morass of nonsense, then there is no hope for you to understand a dang thing anyone has to say to you on this thread.

Your hatred just "shines".

It "shines" more brightly than any anti Palin post I have seen on these threads. Many have criticisms of her which deserve valid consideration in debate, but your comments border on the lunatic.

I'm sorry you will never see this, nor understand this criticism.

Articulate.
Successful.
Groundbreaking.
Conservative.
Anti-RINO.
Leader.
Wife.
Mother.

That’s Sarah Palin.

i went and read several past posts, it is the same over and over again, hateful, contradicting statements. i could not keep up!
for some one who never reads or watches the liberal news, there was information that only someone who does would have about palin.
btw, some conservative women like the homemaker, submissive role and still know how to support another conservative woman and cheer her accomplishments. submissive does not always mean barefoot, pregnant and least of all silent;)used to stay home myself when my kids were younger. dont throw the baby out with the bath water!

Please understand that conservative women are far outnumbered by non conservative women and that indeed non conservative women and those under 21 are the reason algore won a plurality, clinton won twice, Pelosi is SOH and HUSSEIN is POTUS.

The horses have left the barn, there is no going back.

Its over, it only worked as long as responsible citizens had the vote.

Imagining that there is anything the GOP can do to reverse the situation is stupid.

The only thing that has changed over the last 90 years is who is able to vote.

Look at that and its easy to see why we are where we are and why there is no hope.

For 14 years, I’ve followed the subject of this thread through his first campaign clear up until today. I was there in MA when he ran against Kennedy in ‘94. In those days, we were reduced to the point that we’d accept anybody with the remotest shot of taking out Democrats, and if they weren’t necessarily “Conservative”, we’d look the other way and say it’s better than the alternative. Unfortunately, there is something worse than an open Democrat, and that’s a closeted one operating as a trojan horse within the GOP. It took me some time to realize this guy was a bonafide fraud, and his tenure as Governor proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

He’s attracted the kinds of supporters and squishes somewhat akin to those of the False Messiah. Drawn in on a slick package with absolutely zero substance. Like the False Messiah, he’s used his religion (instead of race) as a cloak to shield him from criticism. He’s used his deep pockets to buy off support and give him “credibility” (frankly, an entire book could be written about him on how he operates — he’s like a wealthy Bubba Clinton). He’s one of the most remarkable and shameful liars, frauds, con-artists, you name it, I’ve ever encountered in politics.

Rodeo merely represents one aspect of his “Fellow Travellers” that infest the internet, putting out falsehoods, disinformation, cheerleading nonsense, et al. Many are paid, and the truly delusional, are the true believers. There’s literally nothing he does that they won’t excuse. They are scary people, and I’ve battled them now for quite some time, risking my FR account in doing so when things got really ugly, because I believe this man to be highly dangerous, and will not hesistate, as he didn’t as Governor, to destroy and discard the GOP and “used” Conservatives to accomplish his goal of attaining the Presidency, something he has lusted after his entire life (like Gore, he believed the office was stolen from his father).

These agents/trolls/disruptors main goal now is to destroy any Republican that stands between himself and control of the GOP and obtaining the Presidential nomination in 2012. Palin is the central target of these attacks, and they began the day she was chosen for VP. He did not want McCain/Palin to win, because that would’ve meant he’d never be able to run for President, since she’d likely be the successor in 2012/2016 or 2016/2020, by which time he’d be well past 70. But, we must remain vigilant and continue to expose these folks and their nefarious agenda. They ARE not our friends.

Romney brags about his socialized medicine program to this day, so don’t pretend it was forced on him. And as far as calling the other criticism of Romney “crap”.

Sorry, you can’t run from You Tube. Romney is on record and on video supporting Roe v. Wade, gun control, homosexual agenda etc.

I gave him credit for taking the right position on Detroit, but we do not need and can not afford a RINO trying to take on a leadership role in the party.

And before you give Romney too much credit for suggesting that Detroit be allowed to go bankrupt. The guy who sells me coffee in the morning feels the same way. Romney has a masterful grasp of the obvious.

I haven’t been keeping up at all with what Mitt is up to. True I liked him during the primaries, but basically have put him on the back burner. As far as I am concerned he is yesterday’s news. As far you risking getting yourself kicked off this forum, that’s just a defense, trying to excuse yourself for trying to get other’s kicked off. You notice, I am not telling anyone they are hateful or crazy. I can’t, it’s not allowed. You have full licence. Mitt has no power at all in this point in time. You are engaging in Palin worship. Did you notice the other Governors weren’t impressed with Palin? There’s a reason, they know she is an opportunist who is going to cost the Republican Party a lot. Palin cost them the election.

does he intend to run in 2012? how did he become a republican candidate? aside from being decent fiscally i dont see any thing conservative about him.
pro abortion, at least he was prior to deciding to run for POTUS. dont mind peeps changing their mind on abortion, i hope every one who is pro death will, BUT i do have a prob when it the conversion happens when politically convenient.
pro gay rights
gun control...
he does have a feel about him that is oddly close to “the one”. dont know why women find him hot. way too slick and prissy for my taste.
