Better criticism of Palin than the usual left wing hyperventilating.

If Sarah Palin is not the answer...maybe you’re asking the wrong question.

[The Wizard]

who is this asshole?

[rintense]

I know Cathy personally, and she usually has good insights. But this time, she’s way off. BTW, the warrior princess reference is purposeful- she’s a HUGE Xena fan.

[toddausauras]

Sarah is the true outsider that we need, sure she has some growing to do, it’s summer 2009 for God’s sake, she’ll be fine. I hope she runs.

Palin 2012.

Young background appears to be that of a family of Jewish refuseniks booted by the Soviets for political dissidence. She has repeatedly written about the fatuity of Ogabe’s appeasement of Russia. I think a lot of conservatives are reading into Palin’s persona what independents and squishy Republicans are reading into Ogabe’s persona. To me, Palin’s more or less a blank slate. She’s got a charisma that appeals to a good chunk of conservatives, and she’s taken an unfair bashing at the hands of the liberal media, and a bunch of Republican snobs. But that’s it. If she’s a unifying figure for conservatives and Republicans, I’ll be thrilled. But whether Palin wins the nomination or not, I’ll vote for the Republican candidate in 2012.

The idiot libs obviously have our Sarah Palin mixed up with some other Sarah Palin.

[dforest]

Barry Goldwater Jr was on Cavuto’s show today. He is a big Palin fan. Said she was what the conservative movement was about.

These poor women are jealous. All they have is a pen and no following.

Sad for them.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Most likely, Palin will be back. But if conservatives expect her to be their warrior princess in shining armor,...

more crap from “what culture war?” liberaltarians

[Polarik]

WTF? This is every bit a huge crock of Leftist horsesh*t with a little lipstick slapped on.

[Jeff Head]

Watch and see Cathy...watch and see.

She (Sarah Palin) has initiated a brilliant flanking manuever against the left, the DNC, and the MSM (and throw the RINOs in there for good measure) that has them all in a frenzy wondering what her next move will be and how it will be perceived...and has them frothing at the mouth in their efforts to discredit her.

Sarah will now get her book out, go on tour, give speeches and promote conservatie principles all over this country in the midst of the Obama administration disaster and gain great political capital in the process. Then she will support conservative candidates in 2010 and help them win, amassing much more political capital. She will then take all of that and make an awesome, stunning run for the Presidency in 2012.

MANY MORE STICKER DESIGNS HERE

Palin is Not the Answer

Depends on what the question is.

[anton]

Oh, they’re scared to death of her. Its like a cross to a vampire. Rinos and Rats alike, They all fear her. Good.

While eschewing "victim feminism," Palin has enthusiastically embraced "victim conservatism": the grievances of cultural traditionalists who feel trampled and disdained by the more educated and influential (and often, more affluent) segments of American society. Like the "oppressed groups" of the left, these traditionalists have some valid complaints but channel them into a destructive ideology of polarization and resentment.
Such a zeal can energize the base—but also fatally split it and alienate the unconverted.

This is one of the fundamental problems with Palin -- her insistence on playing the victim is incompatible with any attempt to present herself as either competent or conservative.
