karl Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Few is the key word. The vast majority of republicans voted for McCain, and BUsh twice. It's interesting that Palin not Paul that is the most closely connected with the Tea baggers. Palin scares the dickens out of liberals. She is a walking challenge to just about every slogan they've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She makes serious conservatives nervous not because of her "wacky freshness" but her lack of depth. She's just vacuous at times. I can't wait to see Krauthammer, Frum, Turner and Geroge will squirm in their seats. Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.

It's interesting that Palin not Paul that is the most closely connected with the Tea baggers. I used the word few because I didn't want to burden you down with actually having to seriously put your allegations to the test. As it's obvious that you're not a Republican I stand by my previous statement.But you are good at repeating liberal talking points. That's gotta count for something. I like Ron Paul, he's the Republican that makes the most sense and is the most consistent. Of course Paul has grass roots support but it does not translate into votes in the primaries. I think Paul was consistently third. Republicans want to win more than they are willing to stick by principles. That's politics. Paul is principled but even republicans don't think he's a winner. Tea baggers have gone for Palin because they think she's a winner even if she's flakey. It's still about the glitz. Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.

I can't wait to see Krauthammer, Frum, Turner and Geroge will squirm in their seats. I didn't mean she scares them as a politician. I meant as a person. She doesn't consider herself a victim. She kept her Downs baby. She has worked hard and accomplished some great things. She knocks the socks (visually) off every women's libber I've ever seen. And she's a conservative. She hunts. She's not spastic about environmental hysteria. Soccer mom. Goes to church. Love it. You can bag on her all you want, but that just reveals your own shallowness. She has achieved great things. And, did I mention.... she's a conservative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, did I mention.... she's a conservative? Are the qualities you see so rare in conservative circles that it excites you so much. I wonder how well she would be received if she didn't knock those socks off quite so much. I guess Ron Paul needs a make over. If Ron Paul had the looks of Mitt Romney then he'd be a sure winner. A lady in my class has four children, two autistic, she goes to church, she's a long distance runner, she studying for her Ms in Pastoral counseling, She's a democrat, soccer mom. She'd probably make a good governor and she'd probably serve her full term. She is involved in voluntary work for children with autism, yeah she's a democrat. I meet women like this all the time, democrat, republican, black and white. I'm not saying anything about Palin that those with more impeccable conservative credentials than you have not already said. I exited about Palin too but for different reasons.

Members phkrause Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 To no one in general. For me I don't see Palin as a conservative at all. She seems very liberal to me, if we are going to label people, that's what I have observed. pk Quote phkrause Obstinacy is a barrier to all improvement. - ChL 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a great fund raiser. I can see her raising a lot of money for the GOP and being a possible choice as a cabinet secretary. She would be a good Secretary of Energy.

Just the thought of her being possessed by a spirit as liberal as you are was disconcerting :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
