The author gets it, what is the problem with her waiting to announce? She's said she's waiting till some time in September, yet it's somehow driving a few conservatives crazy.

But it is over the top, even if it's interpreted as little more than a thinly-disguised personal complaint. Comparing the Palin movement to a destructive cult is not unlike medicalizing differences of opinion.

Does he really want to fall to that level?

What a worthless creep Erickson is. Yeah, I get it, one must be a Zombie to believe in limited government, freedom of the individual, reduced taxation and border control. You’ve jumped the shark, Fool! Bob

The problem with the article is that it attempts to immunize Palin from any criticism—any criticism whatsoever. While it states that policy criticisms are permitted, it completely negates the statement when it essentially states that all criticism of Palin is an attack on Conservatives. The permitted criticism is eviscerated and swallowed by the dominant rule that if you criticize Palin it is a personal attack both on her and the Conservative movement.

All candidates have their strengths and weaknesses. The attempt here to eliminate honest discussion of the same weakens a potential Palin candidacy.

Hmmm. Something appears to have put a very irritating wrinkle in the panties of the GOP establishment over the past 24-48 hours.

This has all the appearances of their version of the Battle of The Bulge, and I, for one, am committed to holding Bastogne.

To the establishment GOP, may I be the first to say, "NUTS!"

I don't get all the hit pieces by right wingers against fellow Conservatives.

Comparing Palin to Scientology = garbage.

Comparing Perry to Obama = garbage.

If we don't get our act together, we are going to blow this golden opportunity to rid the world of Obama because we are mired in search of the "perfectly pure" candidate.

Doesn't take much theology to read these posts and see that there IS a battle of good and evil going on over Sarah Palin. I don't see posts containing this stultifying hatred in threads dealing with the real crimes of this current administration.

Apparently some people think it's a crime that she's beautiful, popular, or powerful. It's especially interesting that since the liberal's email investigation only proved her to be even more diligent and effective a governor than previously supposed, that the new epithets are "little Miss Perfect" and "Saint Sarah", as if character and integrity are a liability in a candidate. It certainly is a threat to the entrenched infrastructure of despotism in D.C. that will brook no change and deny us any voice.

The Bible says that "out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks", a pre-Freudian concept that people reveal just what lies within, in what they say....and that is why I say this to the Palin people, that trying to convert those RINOs that have vileness and virulence as their only contribution, is worse than a waste of time...it's picking up a rattlesnake. By our standards Sarah Palin's essential person life fulfills our highest expectations of womanhood and patriotism...those whose instinctive response to a person of such influential character is a backlash of pure blind hatred, whose every goal is controlling and silencing her supporters...such people as these are not worthy of significant time or effort. If your children had friends who acted like these, not only would you forbid your kids to see them, the abuser might be lucky to get out of your house without your New Balance permanently wedged in their colon. Abusive people whose motive is pure control lash out at anyone they think they can shape and are consumed by actual murderous thoughts of those that they cannot intimidate. Please be strong and do not be played...let them get the ulcer and not you :)

If you would not bring people like this into your home, then please don't bring them into your confidence or try to lead them into our camp...these people don't want the truth, they want control of the dialogue, they want to dictate the action and they want to silence you. Look at how the "quitter" strategy has been done to death and how over and over and over Palin supporters respond with Pavlovian explanation and reiteration every time a giggling gadfly pushes their buttons...respond with facts and answers, they obliviate with eyes squinted shut and fingers in their ears singing "La, la, la." You are beìng played. Those women out there who have been in abusive relationships know there is no meeting of the minds when one of you is mentally ill, you cannot communicate with someone who holds conversation as a battlefield of control, and no matter what good you maý do there is no "good enough" for an abuser, you can't love away the being within that thrives òn hate...love is a threat to a being made of hate, and truth to such a being is perceived as an assault.

American does not exist as a haven for abusers like these, America was founded by pioneers escaping people like these, America contiñues to exist in spite of people like these, and a truly free America restored is unbearable to people like these. To them, we are The Great Satan...

Truth is a reflective surface.
