It's Not About Palin, It's About Denying Conservatives A Real Choice in Presidential Elections
FoxNews ^

Of course Governor Palin was a public servant (Governor), so she, as a public servant, should be subjected to scrutiny and to the same rules and vigorous scrutiny as other politicians. We need to know about our public servants and all of them. That includes Governor Palin. No one - including Govenor Palin - should get a pass. It makes sense to spend resources to report about her - including reviewing her work - but of course it should be commensurate with how other public servants are reported and commensurate with its importance. It should be good, smart aggressive and thorough journalism - not more, not less. One question you might ask, is she getting about the same treatment as other politicians under about the same circumstances? If not, why not?

If however a news organization is seen as having a bad motive - ie on a mission to destroy someone rather than trying to assemble noteworthy information and report - it is not journalism but something else. Palin should not get "special treatment" or a "media colonoscopy" simply because the media can't get enough of her ...doesn't like her...or thinks it will spike readership or viewers to cover her.

The media fully exposes itself with this nonsense.

It isn't about Palin. It's about disenfranchising conservatives, denying them real choices in elections so we're left with nothing but socialists and RINOS to pick from in so-called "elections" between Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee. Because that's worked out so well for the country.

Watch for character assasinations of Bachmann, Cain or any other real conservative who might emerge as a strong prospect for the presidency.

Are we citizens? Is this democracy?

They know she's inevitable.

They knew it the first time they saw her.

It's why they go insane ever time they think of her.

ineluctable

The Crackpot Palin Foamers are going to spend all weekend pouring through these 20K e-mails looking for a smoking gun, and then after spending all that time coming up with NOTHING (except manufactured slander) then I will be a happy camper. What a waste of time.

Liberals hate Sarah because she’s a feminist’s dream, but she’s conservative.

And they flat-out lie about her, but that’s just par for the course.

So! Where is the request to see Bowbama’s emails while a state senator or a U.S. senator? Where are his college records? (afterthought: And, where is his REAL birth cirtificate?) Fight fire with fire!

They’ve been trying to destroy Sarah Palin since McCain choose her to be his VP running mate. She’s still standing tall and still marching on. She’s got their heads exploding and they’re chasing her bus across the country. Ya gotta love Sarah Palin.

You're right. It is a waste of time. Unless she was running an illegal drug operation out of the governor’s office or if she ordered mob hits on rivals, the media has zilch and should be sued out of existence.

That is what makes me mad about the media including Fox.
If even one of them did a story and showed the picture of 0bama supporting odinga, the race for the White House would have been over for him

Both Bachmann and Palin are exposing the mysogyny of the left wing and their so-called "equality platform".

Just as Civil Rights was not about equality for blacks, but subjugation, so the sexual revolution was not about freedom for women, but bondage.

It's much more than just Palin. Think about it. If a true conservative like Palin is elected, you don't get just a conservative President.

You get Palin's cabinet.
You get Palin's advisors.
You get Palin's ambassadors including the UN.
You get Palin's judicial appointments including Supreme Court Justices.
You get Palin's choices for the heads of the FDA, FCC, FAA, DOT, EPA, IRS, Treasury, Commerce, Education, Labor, Justice, FBI. CIA, Homeland Security.....

In other words, you get the most conservative, pro-American, Constitutionally constrained Executive Branch in modern American history. And, a possible major shift in the make-up of the Supreme court and many lower courts.

This will not a bunch of wishy-washy, go along to get along, sharing power, Rinos and career bureaucrats.

That is what they must destroy any chance of happening.

“Both Bachmann and Palin are exposing the misogyny of the left wing and their so-called “equality platform”. The old guard on the right wing have been no friend to conservative women . The geezer party loves the Maine girls and Muckcowski. Haley , Palin , Bachman , O'Donnell are treated like crap and the fossils not only go along , they contribute to the vitriol. The GOP is no friend to conservative women period.

Just as it is about keeping blacks on the plantation, it’s about keeping women barefoot. The left’s “equality” is an illusion.

The more energy they put into defeating her, the stronger she gets.

They just keep putting her clear consistent rational conservative concepts front and center.

The left - in their haste to destroy her - is making her president.

By the time it comes to a debate with Obumble - she can just stand there - and let him make an ass of himself.

This is the turning point.

The left's last, best chance.

We will know by next week whether she is running.

FWIW I believe she is but really won't formally announce until the last minute. Keep the powder dry, keep the left off balance. Make them do foolish things like this.

This wouldn’t be an issue of conern if Republican primary voters were informed. Most are so clueless that they “think” Mittens is a “conservative.” I would be shocked if Mittens is NOT the nominee.

How do you tell a real conservative? Everyone claims to be conservative. There must be at least half-dozen positions to distinguish the real from the Memorex but will voters agree on what they are? Maybe there is no agreement on what they are so everyone can claim to be a conservative. What do you consider the bedrocks?

You assume that people can only vote for whom the media and the RINO Establishment says they can vote for.

The contention is ludicrous on it's face.
