Got a viable substitute for Reagan?
Neither are any of the GOP “usual suspects”. But she comes a lot closer. Close enough.
So????
I will bide my time and see what she does in the next 3 years. There will also be other contendors for the Republican Party nomination, even some less well known names who could capture the public’s fickle attention. Palin’s the star now, but will she be the star still in 2012? The jury is still out.
That’s very good.
Start a thread calling all who disagree with you and ‘army of apologists’ and therefore your position MUST be the right one, because everyone who doesn’t agree with you is inferior.
The powers that be in Ithaca have taught you well.
Sarah Palin is Spartacus.
And I’m not joking - She inspires many the same way Kirk Douglas did in that movie.
Whether she succeeds at whatever task she chooses next is yet to be seen.
Dear Phillip,
THERE WILL NEVER BE A CONSERVATIVE LOVED BY STATE RUN MEDIA. THERE WILL NEVER BE A CONSERVATIVE WHO GETS ANYTHING NEAR FAIR COVERAGE FROM STATE RUN MEDIA. THERE WILL NEVER BE A CONSERVATIVE WHO HAS THE REQUISITE EXPERIENCE, INTELLECT, PERSONALITY, AND GRAVITAS TO MEET THE STATE RUN MEDIA’S STRINGENT DOUBLE STANDARD. STATE RUN MEDIA WANT WOMEN TO WHORE THEMSELVES OUT, AVOID SHAVING THEIR UNDERARMS, HAVE A MINIMUM OF ONE ABORTION PER YEAR, AND BE TIED UP IN THE DAILY OPRAH, EXTRA TV, ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, PEOPLE MAGAZINE, PROZAC DRAMA CYCLE. STATE RUN MEDIA WANTS MEN TO BE UNION MEMBERS WHO ARE BROKE, LAID OFF, ALCOHOLIC, ESPN SLAVES.
In conclusion, on behalf of myself and fellow FReepers here, I want to extend sincerest thanks to you, for joining the discussion, informing us of what State Run Media and the Politburo expect of conservatives. Seeing this, we will continue to go our own way, all the while shirking the NY/DC Cocktail Circuit elites as we know this surely is the only way to victory.
No, she is more of a Teddy Roosevelt.
Sarah Palin trashers are FILTH! I LOVE SARAH
If it’s a choice between Sarah Palin and Romney/McCDain/etc... I choose the conservative Mrs. Palin.
It’s odd to see so very, very many across the political spectrum hellbent on her destruction.
Perhaps you’ve been in Ithaca too long..........
*Applause*
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a real "next Reagan" on the scene, and we may have to accept that there never will be another Ronnie. But that doesn't make people trying to convince us that it's Palin right. At this point, she doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath. Sometime in the future? Anything is possible. But right now, she's done nothing to be worthy of such fanatical, fawning loyalty.
He's the one who opened the door to the "big tent" that the RINOs occupy.
The quote is from The Conservative Revolution: The Movement That Remade America, by Lee Edwards and has been modified to illustrate my point.
"In the words of Nelson Rockefeller's public relations head, Stuart Spencer, "We had have to destroy Barry Goldwater Sarah Palin as a member of the human race."
There is a tidal wave of angry Americans waiting for a leader who has the character to expose the plot to destroy our country. Once that tidal wave starts to roll, Conservatives, Independents, and even Democrats will join the wave. IMO, the leader of that movement will get support from millions of Americans grateful that we’ve cleansed our government of power-hungry, arrogant politicians bent on destroying our country and our Constitution. That leader can pick whatever office they want after we take the country back at the polls and after we’ve exposed the treasonous waste in elected office all over this country.
And we know polls never change. How lame to use a poll as evidence of her inexperience. Fact is if Zero can convince people he had legit experience then Palin can easily do so as well.
The only downside is that after people realize how little zero really had...then it may actually hurt her as she doesn't have a heck of a lot more than zero does.
She has nothing that needs apologizing for. What she DOES have, in spades, is an army of like-minded enthusiasts.
McCain, Romney, and the other “compassionate conservatives” who utterly compromised their conservative ideals have apologists... and they need them.
So Klein is gay?
I’m just saying. Gays. Unhinged about Palin.
Beginning to see a pattern.
What’s funny is imagining the gay mafia expending so much desperation drying to tear her down - and watching the exact opposite happen.
Looking at each other, hugging then as they tremble and whine:
“It’s not working Bruce, I need a hug!”
-
To be fair I don’t know klein is gay.
But then again, don’t know he’s not...
All we have to go on, is the reality check: what heterosexual American guy could get angry about Sarah Palin?
**No matter what she does, her army of apologists will make excuses **
You’ve been in ITHACA too long... you need to visit some place more Conservative...like San FranSicko, or Minneapolis
“No matter what she does, her army of apologists will make excuses for her and lash out at those who dare to criticize her by accusing them of being liberal elitists who are threatened by her sheer awesomeness.... “
I see that here, a lot. The disturbing thing I see is that any Palin thread here MUST be a love fest. Anyone who sees any flaws is immediately branded a DU infiltrator.
The great thing about conservatives versus liberals is that conservatives calmly and rationally discuss issues. In general conservatives will calmly try to reason with someone in an effort to get them to think clearly.
Not when it comes to Palin. Heck, I’m going to catch lots of flack for this post.
