They prefer the circular-commit-to-nothing rhetoric that way they cannot be cast as leaning one way or the other. Talk a lot and say little. I prefer someone who is blunt and answer a yes or no question with a yes or no rather than 5 minutes of “um”... “community needs”... “best for the people if”... and other $10 words that mean nothing.

I love Sarah Palin, but I reluctantly agree that Sarah's time now seems passed. We all owe Sarah a huge debt of gratitude for the slings and arrows she bore for the Conservative movement. Her contribution cannot be overstated. Her convention speech electrified and was probably among the finest convention speeches ever. It also catalyzed the Tea Party.

I believe Sarah Palin paved the way for people like Ted Cruz and Scott Walker. Without a Sarah Palin as the forerunner, the others would be slogging through the corrupt MSM ridicule torture chamber.

When the attacks on Palin hit an uptick, I always think “romniacs”.

Why they think attacking her helps their cause is beyond me.

Whatever. I’ll stick with Palin over those effete pajama-boys like Matt Lewis and Byron York, who slobber over the northeastern establishment crowd. Some conservatives might buy into them, but I regard them every bit a cultural and ideological enemy as those cretins on MSNBC.

Team Romney is concerned about Sarah Palin again Bookmark Ping.

Sweet SoConPubbie just posted a list of all of Sarah's Accomplishments just as Governor.

There are WAY to long to post here in the Ping. But I encourage everyone to take a look.

I’ll always like Sarah Palin because she is so likeable; she’s confident and competent. Maybe also because I’ve been told many times that I look like her ;).

Typical Establishment “conservative”. Sarah has been right about most things and it drives the Establishment crazy.

Perhaps that wasn’t her best speech. OK. Everyone has an off day. But she’s been an articulate, prescient defender of our principles. That’s the real reason that liberals and Establishment types hate her. And yes, I meant to use the word hate. (That is what drives “progressives”, after all.)

Sarah has been able to rally the base like no one I’ve seen in a long time. That’s another reason they hate her.

Besides, suppose she got elected. We can’t allow the first female president to be a conservative, now, can we?

These are the same people that love Biden’s “folksy” verbiage.

Elitists can’t stand anyone that isn’t another elitist. They look down on the hoi polloi as peasants to be exploited and used and thrown away at their pleasure.

Exactly. Another heart breaker for many was Fred Thompson.

They think attacking her helps pave the way for yet another liberal scumbag like Romney. It doesn’t. It just wakes more people up like me, who voted GOP all my life, realize that the Republican Party is full of backstabbing garbage, and unworthy of my vote.

Matt Lewis and Byron York and Jennifer Rubin and all those other hacks can frankly go choke to death.

It was a pretty good, informal, speech. Not a barn-burner, it wasn’t intended to be.

you’re right marron.

the current pres has lowered the bar so low just about anyone would be an improvement

After a certain “PRESIDENT” proves beyond a shadow of a doubt the OVER-IMPORTANCE of depending on ‘speech-speaking’ abilities to successfully govern over the vast U.S. EMPIRE, .....we now have the same duplicitous standard applied to someone the Left LOVES TO HATE.

"I love Sarah Palin, but..." then you put the old lady of, what, 50? 51? in a walker with a limp, barely able to stand without leaning on someone, and way way over the hill. HAR! When actually, she's just beginning her political prime and is ready to knock heads!

Phew! What an idiot. I’ll provide an “out” for him: when he realizes that that was a quote from MLK, he will say that as a white woman she had no right quoting it.

I didn't see any of the speeches. The little they showed of her speech did sound a little like she rambled. However, she was on Hannity last night. At first she didn't sound that good, but when he asked her what her message was, she hit it out of the ball park. She went down all the conservative talking points without having to pause. She was speaking from the heart and it showed. I wish she was on message all the time. If she is going to run, she needs to announce early.
