And more proof that anyone who says one negative thing (even if it is constructive criticsm) is labeled a RINO.
Keane is correct. Governor Palin needs to toughen up and worry about what she is doing, not what others say about her.
This has nothing to do with Obama. This is about Governor Palin.
Again, the Palin supporters show their lack of spine and their continued goddess worship (in a sickening Obama like way) of Governor Palin

Huh? Go off your meds?
Wow, you mean, I’m not the only one?
“Keane is correct. Governor Palin needs to toughen up and worry about what she is doing, not what others say about her.”
Why can’t you Palin haters (and MittBots?) get it through your skulls that Palin didn’t resign because of what people we saying about her, but rather because the false ethics complaints were interferring with her doing her job, let alone running for President, and you can’t run for President from Alaska? And as for the defamation talk - gee, you don’t like a conservative who FIGHTS BACK?
Sheesh.
But don’t worry, I’m sure Gov. Palin and her supporters really don’t give a d@mn about what her detractors say, except on occassion to vent their frustration (ie, posts on threads such as this)...
Don’t look now, but there is a very large steam roller coming right up the pike.
Mrs. Palin does not play by lefty rules, RINO rules, old rules or your rules. It’s a new day.
There is a maddening tendency to do this. However, I'm not sure I would characterize this as "constructive" criticism.
I don't know if Sarah has her eyes on 2012 or not. If she does, it is much too soon for the chattering classes to determine whether or not she will be ready. Maybe she will, maybe she won't. But she has about 2-1/2 to 3 years to get ready. During that time, she can be campaigning for candidates for state and federal office, making policy speeches, hitting the books on international affairs, finding some political aides who hold the same principles and have experience on the national stage...
I like Sarah. I like her positions, her character and her personality. But I will be the first to admit that she has work to do in order to be a viable candidate for national office. Fortunately, by stepping down from the governor's office, she has given herself the time and opportunity to make the changes needed.
"We're not totally convinced that Sarah Palin is the cure to all America's ills"
the overwhelming response here would be "Get back to your graves and rot, you phony conservatives!"
It's really starting to approach the level of last year's Obama worship on the left. A little scary.....
I'm not calling Keene a RINO or resorting to name-calling, but he's clearly wrong here. Palin gave valid reasons why she needed to step down. If Keene is too ignorant to understand that, then that's his problem.
Keane is correct. Governor Palin needs to toughen up and worry about what she is doing, not what others say about her.
Try running a state when you have Democrat/Obama operatives filing charges against you that are preventing you from doing the job you were elected to, and get back to me. I have not heard Palin "whine" about the media other than pointing out the FACT that there were double-standards and gross hypocrisy involved in that coverage.
This has nothing to do with Obama. This is about Governor Palin.
It does have something to do with Obama. It just goes to show you that even conservatives have no problem attacking their own but never say a peep about Obama's real lack of experience and shady background.

Call it what you want. But Palin is so far the only Republican with the guts to criticizing Washington and the Obama administration and simultaneously defending conservative principles. If that's worshipping, then pass the collection plate.
Agreed. There is a definite orthodoxy forming around Saint Sarah. As had been said before, when only one viewpoint is accepted, the result is either zealotry or hypocrisy.
She has a lot of time to prepare for a run. At least I hope so—I would prefer not to have a 4-year long campaign for the presidency. Almost anyone’s material would get a bit thin by that point.
You must’ve missed her Friday presser. She first listed her accomplishments and then said that she couldn’t do any more for the state because the vast majority of her time was going to defend herself from ethics complaints to say nothing of how much it was costing *the state*. Since the dummycrats had decided to use the Alaska Governor’s office as their litter box, she was going to change their game plan.
I hope that makes it clear. Her resignation had nothing to do with her being thin-skinned.
She’s plenty tough. I’d like to see you or anyone else in politics take the onslaught that she has taken. The only person in America to get it worse is GWB for eight years, and that was frankly a whole lot less personal than the attacks on Palin.
She did not quit because people don’t like her that is absurd for Keane to say. She didn’t quit because of the heat. She’s been taking it all year. She completed some big projects - namely the pipeline, and stepped aside. I am not convinced it was the right move, but it is her move to make. She has a year and half left on her term, and it was time to either declare for reelection or decline running again. She determined this was the best option. If she does enter the national stage, we will see what she is made of. Keane is off on this criticism, regardless of her future ambitions.
And just how could she have ‘toughened up’ anymore against what she has already withstood, against herself, her family, and her office? Tough? You haven’t seen tough, but it’s coming.
You have no idea do you.
You’re wrong.
These little panty wastes that pretend to be conservative can’t see that we know what they are doing. They spend all their time attacking someone they should be defending. Why aren’t they going after Zero? Why aren’t these people denouncing what he’s doing and talking about conservative solutions? I guess you have to actually be a conservative to understand what a conservative solution is. They have no idea how bad they look.
It’s like a milquetoast who gets beat up and his lunch taken every day kissing the bullies’ rear end while yelling at the one who prepares his lunch for him.
Like Reagan, Sarah helps conservatives. Conservatives can see that. These people hated Reagan, they hate Sarah too. The liberal infiltrators need to be flushed. CPAC needs to get to work on its plumbing.
Instead of giving her some “constructive criticism, how about if they try giving her some SUPPORT!!
