Palin Punches, Hooks Right, Dede Goes Down
The Politicizer ^ | November 1, 2009 | Conor J. Rogers

Posted on 11/02/2009 10:03:19 AM PST by FMoran

Many in the punditry, and especially the mainstream media, have been pushing polls that showed Palin’s favorability ratings dropping and suggesting her star may be fading. In a move that only Sarah Palin could pull off – endorsing a candidate outside her own party, and taking out the establishment candidate – she proved why she’s still around, and reminds us how she got here.

In their relative shock following Palin’s endorsement, the national media seems to forget how Mrs. Palin became Governor of Alaska in the first place: not by defeating Democrats, but by systematically tearing down the Last Frontier’s Republican establishment. Though knocking off Republicans by other Republicans is something new for national politics, Dede Scozzafava now joins half a dozen Alaskan Republicans in Sarah Palin’s trophy case.

Meanwhile, Newt is still supporting the Democrat in the race and admonishing conservatives for having principles.

Great signature line! It seems Sarah is the only conservative out there willing to stand up as...conservative. Time for Sarah to go after Newt?

In my opinion, one of the major reasons why smart Democrats are afraid of Palin, is because Palin opposes the Republican establishment.

The game has been set up for a long time to make sure that Liberals always win. Heads I win, Tails you lose. But Sarah is a game changer.

Just what I’ve been saying. She’s good at this, and she’s already proven that she can do it.

Only rather than call it “tearing down . . . the Republican Establishment,” I would call it “tearing down . . . the corrupt Republican Establishment.” She is a natural born leader, who can appeal to good people who are sick of the corruption of their political leaders and their refusal to listen to them.

I like the terms: Enforcer or Terminator

How about Rino Eraser or Rino Terminator?

Wow! The machine is actually that corrupt, and just exposed itself.

I thought our political system had become a sham, but this makes it look many times worse than even I thought it was.

It really IS too late to work within the system.

I like your tagline and can relate. I’m a magician - I can walk down the street and turn into a bar. (bada-bing!)

A knock-out blow. The Earth shook when lard-a$$ DeDe hit the mat.

I love the last line in the article

“She’s coming to a race near you”

Yes, she and conservatives are.

Next Up: Charlie Crist

Indeed.

The likes of which we have never seen.

Even some “conservatives” here on normally reliable FR, wet their pants at the mere mention of her name.

That’s what I’m talking about. She is ready, willing and able to clean our own house first. This is what she did in Alaska and now she’s doing it on the national scene. and another thing...she doesn’t have to spend one thin dime of American taxpayer money to do so..she does it through Facebook! Unlike Oboomba making several campaign stops in Jersey and Virgina and now Biden going to New York. She’s kicking their butt and doesn’t even have to show up!!!!!

How cool is that???!!!HA!!!!!

“What kind of bourbon do you think they are drinking?”

None, they are all scotch drinkers. Only true Americans drink bourbon (invented here). If you went to an ivy league colleg chances are you were taught to drink scotch (european).

Actually the quote, “put some ice on it” comes from Bill Clinton.
