30 years of blaming Reagan for the AIDS epidemic and yet bath houses, bug chasing parties, and a lack of use of condoms among homosexuals are still commonplace.
No cure has been found either. For all of their talk that “Reagan didn’t do enough”, they have yet to fall in line with ANY proposed solutions and even sought the legalization of one of the chief causes of the spread of AIDS. They’ve also sought to “destigmatize” the homosexual community by permitting them to freely donate blood, thus putting a larger population at risk (and contaminated transfusions have occurred).
That's it in a nutshell, Rush.
The media are great at finding an obscure meaning to a common expression and using it to smear the latest Republican to use it, aren't they?
As somebody said “She got all of the right people not liking her”
Palin stands head, shoulders, and torso above the rest. Period. End of discussion.
You said it, Brother FReeper. And it's becoming more and more obvious every day.
Palin is ALSO the only potential candidate who has been exhaustively, brutally vetted by a hostile press without cease for at least two years, and any skeletons in her closet have long been outed. She is not only campaign-ready in that way to a degree that no other Republican can even touch, she has ALSO prove herself to be diamond-tough with grace under fire. No other candidate has even remotely shown such asbestos resilience.
She's coolly competent, courageous, not distracted by abstractions and obfuscations. She won't brook murdering bastards, you betcha!
"So that was Mrs. Lundegaard on the floor in there. And I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper. And those three people in Brainerd. And for what? For a little bit of money. There's more to life than a little money, you know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are, and it's a beautiful day. Well. I just don't understand it."
I know Rush isn't comparing her to Elmer and I'm not either, but that statement sums up pretty much how I feel. Palin may not be the absolute best out there, but wherever she is on the scale, she's leaps and bounds above the Communist jug ears. I know the mantra is not to settle any more and I DO want the most conservative person out there, but if it's Elmer in the general I'm going Fudd all the way. A first term Jug Ears has been a disaster--our country won't make it through a lame duck Jug Ears totally unleashed.
Please don't panic, Cicero!
We have at least until next Fall until the ultimate collapse. I hope. That's what? Practically 6 months? Plenty of time. Who's on "Idol" tonight?
My take is that such was the case with British voters regarding Margaret Thatcher - but she did not earn the moniker, The Iron Lady by being too feminine.
And, if I remember correctly, she served as Prime Minister longer than most - second longest in history (I think.)
She is not only campaign-ready in that way to a degree that no other Republican can even touch, she has ALSO prove herself to be diamond-tough with grace under fire. No other candidate has even remotely shown such asbestos resilience.
Damn, you can write, Finny. Not only is what you said the brutal truth, you said it in a way that really sticks. Well done.
If we told you, we would have to kill you.
Ain't there no "Google" on your machine, boy? No Liberry in your town? If WFB were alive, you would have a knot in your mainsheet right about now. Look that up too, while you're at it.
Expect something more like this:
For the record, I don't run him down behind his back, aside from mentioning his well-deserved (and very public) reputation as PDSer #1 on Free Republic. He hardly needs to be pinged for that.
If I really want to insult someone, I'm man enough to do it to their face.
‘She’s prettier in person than on TV..’
My God. She must be a total knock-out.
I agree with that observation. If Palin doesn't run, the enthusiasm and the money won't either. I don't see anyone else in the Republican stable who can generate the level of excitement and passion that Sarah can.
If she doesn't run, millions of conservative voters will stay on the couch, and wait to see what happens. Most will begrudgingly vote for our nominee in November, but that's about it.
I, for one, will not be motivated to get out and campaign for anyone else out there.
The GOP old guard fear the Tea Parties and Palin as much as liberals do. They know they are short for politics if the Tea Party gets its way. They are just circling the wagons. They are perfectly happy to be in power as the minority with liberals running the show and know their power will be reduced if the Tea Parties gets control.
There are second-tier candidates whom I’d be just as excited about. DeMint, Bachmann and Cain, for example. But I believe that none of those have a chance. Bob
Reagan didn't have much use for conservative 'intellectuals' either... mutually unimpressed.
And that might be it - Palin will "talk over" the experts and press - right to the American people - just like Reagan did. It means our power brokers won't be doing much brokering... might be why they don't like her.
Glad to hear sneaker. I like West for VP.
