The Right Scoop
They hate her because she did not do what they told her to do! After the election was over, the Republican and media consensus was that Palin should go back to Alaska and develop her foreign policy experience and polish her political positions...meaning she was supposed to go home with her head hanging, apologize for making McCain lose the election (AS IF), and call a Rove or a Krauthammer and BEG THEM TO TELL HER which political positions and foreign policies she would be allowed to call her own. Instead she went home with her head high and remained exactly the same fiscal and political conservative that she had always been! Palin's refusal to bow to their superiority got the establishment Republicans panties in a wad and they have not been able to forgive her for just being herself and STILL running rings around them!

What can I say, you have left me teary-eyed and breathless. You have nailed it regarding Sarah. As Rush stated today, 'he would like to see any other candidate or elected official stand up to half the criticism she has encountered. I love and have been extolling her virtues to any who would listen; unfortunately many won't and can not stand her. I feel just the opposite! About the time I began thinking I was wrong, I read all the positive comments about Sarah, Rush and America and know my feelings are right. Sarah needs to be in the mix either as pres or vice.The other half should be my personal favorite, Marco Rubio. He is one of a kind. If I can't have him then it will need to be Col West, Herman Cain or Michele Bachmann!
Bobbie thanks for the service and keep the faith, we'll win the country back yet; I miss South EAst Asia!

The eastern RINOs are scared crapless by Palin.
They are trying to burn her down by pushing the "stupid woman" button. The Eastern establishment is hoping the religious right will save her from these unwashed Tea Partiers.
Note that these RINOs are suddenly courting Christians with the marriage, DADT, and other similar issues.

I really admire Rush, but have to disagree with him on one or two points regarding Buckley's egalitarianism. As a student at BYU in the early seventies (but a very liberal Mormon at that) I had the opportunity to hear Buckley speak on campus. Although I had been an admirer of his, I found his speech intentionally vulgar (For example, he began his address to his conservative Mormon student audience with a joke whose punchline included the word F--k.) and his manner extremely condescending. I concluded on reflection that his high church Catholicism had motivated his seeking to shock and sneer at his Mormon (and what he considered hick and fundamentalist) audience.
Secondly, I remember a very short televised debate that he had with Gore Vidal in which in response to Gore's acusation that Buckley was an elitist and fascist, Buckley claimed that he had served his country proudly as a regular GI in the infantry during WWII. Later biographical notes and references I have seen refer to his service as an officer in army intelligence, with some connecting him to Donovan's OSS. I tend to believe this last connection as I saw more recently a bio-note that said he had been been employed for two years in the CIA back at its inception, and of course, the CIA drew heavily upon OSS personnel. This seems to contradict his vaunted humble GI infantry service and I can't help thinking he was disengenuous.
The fact that William F. Buckey was able to consistently retain the respect of the liberal media (Gore Vidal excepted) was due, I suspect, to the fact that the Liberal elite recognized a kindred spirit in this excommunicating conservative (And it was smart politics for them to give stature to the guy who was helping them by destroying the Birchers from within the Conservative movement.).
Every single one of you needs to watch the film entitled "Media Malpractice" by John Ziegler, a man who's family and he have supported the liberals with monetary and political endorsements for years. The film covers how the media handled the 08 election and how obvious, what was going on, should have been. Whether you agree with Bob's post or not, you should watch the video.
Bob Zee is the man! Couldn't agree more. I have copied your post and sent it to all my friends. I am now going to contact the local tea party and get involved. Fight em until hell freezes over then fight em on ice.
Rush! I love you, man, but I'm thankful for this site because I can't afford to be a member, thus reading all that text - man, it's not easy.
We just need to get our candidate supported by the Tea Party, and the hell
with the Asses and Elephants in the room.....
I'm through fighting with the Republican party and not another cent of my
money will go to these morons to run their Rhino's just to lose to the idiots
who call themselves Donkey's.....

Palin / West in 2012
my personal feelings on this may not fly here, but as a American i still have the right(for now) to voice my oppinion. first of all to Bob Zee from the bottom of my heart and soul i say thank you and God Bless you for your service to this country and giving of yourself to insure my right(and others) to freedom. one of which is freedom of speach. i am a big Palin fan i have enjoyed her speaches, interviews ect. i however don't think it is wise for her to run for President in 2012. why???? i feel she woyuld be more of a service as a top advisor to a Republican President to keep him/her on track. before anyone can cry that i'm bias towards old white guys only as president the one i am hoping is the eventual ticket is Hermain cain Allan West ticket. i would love to see these two men(both have a huge amount of both ackbone and "balls") going up against obama because in the debates alone they would crush him. Palin as the #1 advisor to Cain with West as VP can blend all their fantastic ideas together and kick the Progressives to the curb. after that Palin running for President would instill the country continues to move forward well into the 2020's and beyond. if this doesn't come to pass and Palin is our canidate for 2012 will i vote for her??? to use her own words YOU BETCHA.
Thank you, Bob Zee, for your service to our country - and for your frank and honest comments about the state of our country. We must fight and win our country back -please help us!
Rush,
Be puzzled no more!!! Do not doubt me on this one!!
Palin would not be a Pastor in Chief, but the Conservative intelligentsia/Blue Bloods hate someone who is truly converted to Christ.
This is not hard. The conservative elites still hang out with the leftist elites. The tea party are the revolting peasants. This is a dangerous time to be an elite regardless of your party.
Bob Zee,
Thanks for the sermon that EVERY TRUE CONSERVATIVE needs to live by. I am so sick of the BOVINE SCAFFOLOGY ( Credit Norman Schwartzkoff) (Apologies for the spelling )that they spew at the American citizens. The issues Palin takes on aren't about Lare about our survival as a free Constitutional Republic. We as American citizens let the Asses and Elephants have control way too long and where has it taken the country ?. Circling the toilet drain because of the cowards in the Republicrat party. I'm getting to get off my soap box now because I have to go to work. J
I want Sarah Palin/Allen West/Herman Cain/Michelle Bachmann! I don't care which two of these four end up in the top two positions, but to me, they are the cream of the crop. No more career politicians. These four seem to be the only ones on the horizon who do not bend to political correctness, who tell it like it is and follow up with action. We need people like them leading our nation out of it's present dark days. If we fail in 2012, I fear that our children and grandchildren will not live in freedom any longer.
It's all distraction. The focus needs to be that indeed Obama and his band of Radical Leftists are trying to destroy America from within.
this is why i vote for the person not the party, even though i do vote republican a majority of the time, i can't stand having a choice of a collectivist or mccain type (ford,bush,dole,bush) and what they lead to (carter,clinton,& u know who) the bushes only won because of who they were up against (dukakis,gore,kerry). now we have gingrich(not),romney(mass. repubs are never conservative-NOT,) huckabee(not) Palin/West or better yet Palin/the judge(Napolitano)!
the right "intellectuals" prefer obama over Palin. They think the economy is doing well or improving
Bob is on the money. Sarah is real. The ONLY reason why her remarks APPEAR to lack sophistication is that the plain truth is not always complex. The hot shot "elite" thinkers eat at the trough of feigned complexity and so do liberals. I look forward hopefully and intensely to the election and inauguration of President Sarah Palin.
Thank you so much for your service. I have been in this country for over 27 years and I still pinch myself that I live in this great country. I hope Sarah Palin continues to have the strength that she has shown up until now.
God bless you and God bless Sarah Palin and her family.
She drove out the Rinos from her own party in AK that one of the reason that the Republican elite hate her no back room deals i am reading her auto bio now she,s the frist to for a new 9/11 hearing and the End of Fed she called for it,while was in china 2 years ago and the only who wants to open the oil fields around the u.s . She can appeal to both Conservatives & Libertarians the RINOS don,t have this appeal but she does.
I like Obama, but I really don't think he's competent as President. Maybe in another 20 years. Right now, we need someone capable like say... a mother, someone who's run a business, someone who's been governor, a mayor, on city council and Chairperson of the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission for a certain state. Someone like that.

I believe most of the vitriol directed at Palin comes from the fact that she towers above the "good old boys" that the elites have taken it upon themselves to promote. Palin has run in a national election on a ticket that received 57 MILLION votes, the others have only run in state elections or primaries. Palin has become not only a political icon, but a social one as well. Thanks largely to her, more women than ever ran as republicans in 2010, and the gop garnered 49 percent of the female vote, compared to 48 percent for the dems, the very first time that the dems haven't enjoyed a huge lead among women. The Palin Effect has increased female NRA membership by 20 percent, and significantly more women are purchasing firearms, and learning how to use them. In August 08, prior to Palin's selection as McCain's running mate, the majority of people self-described themselves as pro-choice, now the majority are self-described pro-lifers. Prior to Palin, the majority was opposed to drilling for oil in ANWR, now the majority favor drilling in ANWR.
I've listened to most of Palin's speeches, and most of her interviews, I would stack her up against all the other wannabees.
Because Palin isn't beholding to the beltway crowd, Will, Krauthammer, Frum, Rove and the host of Bush holdovers, they fear that if she is nominated, and elected, their access to the halls of power will be diminished. The primary goal of these yammering, gum flappers, is to maintain their standing in the A List cocktail parties, and they would rather lose in 2012 than win with Palin, because they fear if she wins, their A List cocktail party invitations may not arrive by special messenger as usual.
Thanks, I appreciate that. Post it around.
It is time for our movement to "cowboy up," or just accept our inevitable decline as a nation. I know my choice.
I will post it on my blog, sir. It's time these wuzzes man up. They want the big job, yet they hide behind her skirt. Unreal.
PALIN/WEST 2012!
Quoted in full and attributed on my blog. Thank you for your service and inspiration!
I have another idea about this political vitriol.
1. Palin came on the national scene a relative (if not downright) surprise.
2. Instantly... if not sooner, the MSM went to work. Spreading a wide range of misinformation to discredit her. She lives with the results of an effective campaign which ensnared liberals and some conservatives (mostly RINO's) alike.
3. The reason for the instant and wide-spread assault was because she decided to not abort her baby Trigg after it was discovered he was afflicted with Down's Syndrome.
4. The "right" to abortion is the liberal's underlying issue de jure... the holy grail of their entire platform and they'll do anything to convince people that Conservatives and/or Republicans will do anything to destroy that so-called "right".
5. If Palin moves all-in, you can expect abortion "rights" issues to be constantly interjected into the debates.
Or... I could be wrong
You know these people are pathetic. They are wedded to the notion that the GOP must be and always will be the party of the old white guy. The old white guy is the symbol of commmpetence and inteeeegrity you see (emphasis mine). And the GOP must always put out that image no matter what the composition of the electorate or whether or not the conservative grassroots like or not. The Eastern Establishment old white guy, with sensibilities about the real role of the GOP in government, which is to better manage it rather than the rubes idea of reducing and reforming it.
Unfortunately for these elite or "conservative" intellectuals, their time picking our nominees for high offices has ended. The Tea Party Movement is a movement of wised up conservatives. We know the charade now. We understand that the intellectuals have had us over a barrel for years. We see their manipulation of the primary process and the Tea Party decided starting in 2009 (Doug Hoffman) that We the People will choose our nominees thank you. We may choose eccentric characters like Carl Paladino, Sharon Angle and Christine O'Donnell at first, but hey we are new at this!
Besides, I still would rather have a Paladino or an O'Donnell who is there with me on principle warts and all than wussies like George Will, Karl Rove, Mitt Romney, Mike Castle, Jeb Bush, etc who will betray us once in office and be no better than democrats! Our country cannot afford the collusion of the elites on either side who only fight each other for a chance at the spoils of government power! Their fight is not the fight to do what's in the interest of We the People. Their fight is to do what's in the interest of the particular special interest they represent.
And you thought Barack Obama was the only one trying to spread the wealth around? Yeah, he's of the same ilk that the Bush clan is from. He's simply an agent of the special interest, just as Bush was. The only redistributing Obama is engaged in is redistributing from GOP interest to Democratic interest. From oil companies to "green" companies. From doctors to lawyers, from business executives to labor bosses, from the taxpayer to the public sector. Bush did the opposite in his years in office and the cycle goes on and on and We the People are just coincident beneficiaries if at all of all these machinations.
Well the bill is due. The debt is too damn high and its time for real tried and true conservatism to return power back to the people for the benefit of the people! The people need jobs, opportunity and safety. These should be the hallmarks of any conservative agenda. We want government off our backs and out of our pocketbooks. We want to be proud of this nation and to know that this nation will always be number one. We want our debts paid, our nation secured, our freedoms intact, and we for damned sure don't want to look like Europe or have to be bowing down to anyone because we can't produce our own stuff!
We've had enough and the old white company guys won't cut it anymore! We want the Sarah Palins, the Michelle Bachmanns, the Mark Levins, the Allen Wests, the Hermain Cains, the Paul Ryans, the Nikki Haleys, the Marco Rubios, and the Rand Pauls. Young, dynamic, conservative, minority, female, proud and true to turn this nation around and lift it to the highest heights! And in 2012, we will be ready, no matter what the "intellectuals" think and we'll nominate a champion for president and some more champions in Congress along with her to put an end to the charade that is bankrupting our nation.
As for the left hating Reagan - Rush is right. I was young, but very politically aware. According to the media Reagan was a stupid, backward bumpkin. The MSM's treatment of Palin is identical to the way they treated Reagan. If she runs get ready for the lies to fly right up to election day. They even told us Reagan was losing on election night as he took 48 states.
I liked everything you said except on O'Donnell and I donated to her campaign. After she lost she said she was going to throw in with Hillary. I went What????Maybe she is an incompupe but how stupid can she be. Still I wish she had won, but what is in her head.
Good for Rush. This is the same argument I've been making for a long time. Whomever wins the GOP nod in 2012 gets my vote. Anyone, absolutely anyone, is better than Obama.
Vote for your favorite in the primary. But when the dust settles get behind the nominee, whether they were your first pick or not. No pitching a fit this time - the stakes are too damn high. Either we all back the GOP nominee (WHOEVER IT IS) or we say goodbye to whatever is left of America.
Good speaking is overrated. She is great because she get's the job done. Is Scott walker a good speaker? do you care?
