JimRob BUMP!

That’s silly. I’m a woman and I vote conservative candidates all the way. Maybe if you’re white you won’t vote because plenty of them put Obama in office as well.

[gov_bean_ counter]

FWIW, I think SP would rather support a fighter who may have an 85% conservative approval rating than some mealy mouthed backbencher with a 95% rating. We need candidates who are going to be willing to take the fight to liberals 24/7 regardless of the issue.

You know, we all know you can’t abide Sarah Palin, for whatever reason, and you’ve been mean before, but that was just ugly and unnecessary.

[Lakeshark]

Sick might be more descriptive:

[lookout88]

You make no sense. Single white women got obama in. Just facts

[rabidralph]

Hey, your account’s still active :-)

Not all of her endorsements have won, and I never expected that they would, nor, I would expect, did she. Many of those she endorsed were lesser known candidates, but they got their messages out, as Sarah hoped they would.

I think she wanted them to win, and so did all of us. If this isn't about winning power back from the dems, I guess I missed something.

I ask again--are the facts in the article accurate? Anybody?

[SuziQ]

Plenty of MEN voted for Obama, too, so don’t blame us FOR that GOOBER!

Hmm...so Palin will support someone 15% liberal over some one 5% liberal?

Hate to break this to you....but that is not being “conservative”

[sport]

No, they did not. Males voted for him,but,not men. There is a difference.

[DryFly]

Of course it’s accurate, but that’s hardly the point of the thread anymore.

[allmendream]

Don't buy into that garbage argument.

The right of a group to vote is not dependent upon that group voting this way or that way; the right of a group to vote is either right or not based upon PRINCIPLE.

“X don't vote the way I want them to, so X shouldn't have the right to vote” is not a coherent argument that requires a defense of “Well I am an X and I voted the way you wanted me to.”.

[Darkwolf377]

I guess not. Whether or not Palin’s succeeding is not as important as attacking Pissant.

Pissant, I like you, but it’s possible to have problems with Palin—as I do—without tossing out phrases that only inspire heat, not light. Just saying, not piling on.

[SuziQ]

I have no doubts that she HOPED they could win, but again, many of her endorsements were strategic, in that even if they didn't win this time around, their conservative message got into the primary, and maybe started folks thinking more about it.

Sarah has said from the beginning that the Primaries are where the big ideas are supposed to get hashed out, but when the General election comes, to stick together to get the Republican elected.

And no, Republicans are not perfect, but having the majority gives Republicans the power in Committees, as we've seen since 2006, when the Dems took over.

[gov_bean_ counter]

In your opinion that isn’t being conservative, unless someone, somewhere made you the final authority on what constitutes conservative. If that is the case then I bow to you oh all knowing one.

[SuziQ]

I'm not the one who said women shouldn't vote! Plenty of women vote stupidly, as do plenty of men.

Stupidity in voting knows no gender!

[tet68]

You really are obsessed by her.
You’re going to need professional help
over the next TEN years.

Series!

[chris37]

Would not be surprised at all. I imagine that any likeness of Sarah is a lot better looking than whatever it was he somehow convinced or tricked not to run screaming into the dark of night from him.

[Jim Robinson]

The same goes for women. Real women don’t vote for scumbags.
