GOP War Over Palin! Limbaugh Blasts McCain Team As “Losers” Over Criticism Of Sarah

In the latest sign of open warfare within the Republican Party over the future of Sarah Palin and the GOP, Rush Limbaugh unleashed a blistering shot at McCain campaign manager Steve Schmidt over his criticism of Palin today, blasting the McCain team as “losers” who should “move aside” so others can “clean up the mess they helped create.”

Rush, a major Palin booster, just emailed me a harsh response to Schmidt, who sharply criticized Palin at a conference today in remarks that have rocketed around the political world, claiming that her selection as the 2012 GOP nominee would be “catastrophic” for the party.

Asked for comment, Rush emailed:

I think it’s time for the McCain crowd to acknowledge they are losers and pack it in. They’ve done enough damage to the Republican Party. Move aside and let a brighter, more principled, and more competent generation of people clean up the mess they helped create.

Ouch! Rush also confirmed to me that he’d be hitting these points on his show and would also discuss a big Politico story today claiming that McCain’s mission is to remake the GOP in his image.

Rush’s criticism will exacerbate the increasingly public war over the party’s future between party moderates, who advocate for a more constructive posture towards Obama and Dems, and the restive, angry, uncompromising Palin Nation wing.

    Didn’t McCain help create the mess BY PICKING PALIN?

    Greg, better you than me. I’d rather eat mashed potatoes and watch swedish movies with no sub-titles.

  6. Liam | October 2nd, 2009 at 12:02 pm

    I am getting a stronger feeling, each day that passes, that John McCain is thinking about running again in 2012.
    He has had the presidential fever for a long time, and I do not think that he is cured of it yet.

    Look at how he kissed up to Bush, after they played the race card on him. McCain still wants to be President. Do not be surprised if he tries again.

    “My Precious” is still pined for by Senator McGollum.

  7. Texas Aggie | October 2nd, 2009 at 12:04 pm

    The thought struck me that at least Rush recognizes that the GOP needs to be made over in some image. The reason that he doesn’t want it in McCain’s image is that the McCains, especially McCain filles, aren’t a certified whackjobs and therefore are a threat to Limpbaugh’s domination of the party.

    I don’t care what image the GOP is made over in, but the McCain image at least isn’t as damaging to the nation as the present Limpbaugh – Beck – Palin – Bachmann image under which it is presently laboring. If the GOP wants to regain relevance in national affairs, maybe what it needs to do is take a longer view and purge itself of the whackjobs (see above plus Demint, Vitter, King and others) so that the few remaining sane individuals can form the nucleus of a renewed party in the image of Eisenhower, the last Republican president with any sense.

  8. flounder | October 2nd, 2009 at 12:04 pm

    “Move aside and let a brighter, more principled, and more competent generation of people clean up the mess they helped create.”
    We are talking about the same Sarah Palin aren’t we? Didn’t she just quit her job because she was bad at it, didn’t want the blame for the Alaskan socialism checks being 50% of what they were 30 years ago, and wanted to siphon up some corporate money giving canned speeches?

  9. sbj | October 2nd, 2009 at 12:04 pm

    Not that I’m a fan of Rush, but just below Greg has a post skewering Mark Kirk. The Politico article linked here also refers to Kirk and McCain:

    “For moderate Rep. Mark Kirk of Illinois, the Arizona senator [McCain] has been a trusted source of counsel.”

    Some model of success! You’ve got to think that Rush is correct. Why would that party want to re-imagine itself after McCain’s image?

    Is Greg actually arguing that McCain is a moderate? I don’t think many here would agree – maybe he was 15 years ago, certainly not now. Is Greg arguing that McCain advocates “for a more constructive posture towards Obama and Dems?” How do you say … LMAO?

    McCain’s problem with the Palinites, and with conservatives, is not that McCain is moderate – it’s that he is wrong.

    Start popping the corn. They can melt down and self-destruct for all I care. How she ever got anywhere beyond Wasilla is beyond me. “Real America” my ***. Apparently half of the GOP likes quitters.

    Punters.

    This isn’t the first jab in recent times going after Moosolini.

    Someone blasted her in the New York Post by saying “The big lecture buyers in the US are paralyzed with fear about booking her, basically because they think she is a blithering idiot”

    Considering the Post is a Murdock rag and it’s contents are controlled by those close to him, I’d say there is a high level smear campaign going on against Palin from within.

    Maybe Mittens? McCain just did a fund raiser for the guy right? That means McCain supporters are probably going to back Mittens.

    Inquirering minds want to know.

  12. amk | October 2nd, 2009 at 12:22 pm

    2012 repug primary will be a blood fest. Stock up your popcorn.

  13. quarterback | October 2nd, 2009 at 12:24 pm

    Can I say, aw not this “stuff” again?

    Whether Palin would be a successful or unsuccessful candidate in 2012 is speculation. Even in this era of hyperspeed politics, no one knows. For perspective, in 2004 Obama said he wouldn’t run for President because he was unprepared and unqualified. As of 2007, he compiled the most liberal voting record in the Senate. Yet he ran as a moderate or even conservative and managed to convince a lot of people that that was what he was, and he won.

    What we do know is that Steve Schmidt is a bumbling idiot who thinks the Republican party should embrace homosexual marriage as the authentic conservative position and winning electoral strategy. Riiight.

    We also know that Republicans nominated, largely by default, Schmidt’s kind of “moderate” — John McCain — last time, and it was a disaster. Like many conservatives, I have a certain admiration for McCain, at certain times and in certain respects. But we’ve been down the “moderate” road and either lost (e.g., McCain) or had, with some exceptions, liberal government on the domestic front (Bush). We have not nomimated an actual conservative since Reagan (who also compromised his principles).

    The “more constructive posture” of moderates is surrender. We don’t know how Palin would do. What we do know is that “moderate” Republicanism is a disastrous compromise and failure.

    So let’s put it this way: If Steve Schmidt has any future with the Republican Party, is is with a Republican Party that itself has no future.

  14. Liam | October 2nd, 2009 at 12:30 pm

    Sarah Palin disqualified herself from ever being President.

    She said that she can not govern when she is a lame duck. Guess what a second term President is called, so Sarah, by her own rules, can not seek a second term. Guess what a one term President, who can not run again is called; A lame duck. Sarah, by her own rules can not govern as a lame duck one term President, so she would have to quit within a couple of years, after she got elected.

    That is what she did in Alaska, and that backwater small state, has a very cool kitchen, compared to the heat that she would feel in the Presidential kitchen.

    A Governor from a very small state, who quit after just two years, because she could not take the heat, is a weakling, a coward, a quitter, and a loser. No presidential timber to be found in Sarah, except for the block of it, between her ears.

  15. amk | October 2nd, 2009 at 12:31 pm

    I would love to see that twit from tundras get bloodied in 2012 by her own repugs so much that she’ll be driven out of politics for ever. I’m counting on mitt & huckster, who are not above hitting below the belt.

  16. FreeThinkingRedneck | October 2nd, 2009 at 12:44 pm

    Don’t get to worked up about what the oxycoton head thinks. We have to wait untill Mr. G. Beckerhead gives his orders to his sheeple.

    Some details about her book are starting to leak. Here is one little nugget about it:

    GOING ROGUE

    SARAH PALIN

    CHAPTER ONE:

    How I became Pregnant, Out Of Wedlock, By Practicing Sexual Abstinence.

    …………………………

  18. Kris | October 2nd, 2009 at 12:49 pm

    Thia is absurd and so was the Politico article.

    What the hell is moderate about McCain? Do people really think that the way he ran his campaign was moderate? Really? Has John McCain done anything remotely moderate since his landslide loss in November? Please.

    All of this posturing is about John McCain trying to remain in the spotlight. He is still a bitter old troll about his loss and it is beyond bizarre that the media still looks to him as the head of the GOP. What policy proposal of any substance has John McCain released since his defeat?

    I would appreciate if everyone stopped giving this coot attention. This includes Rush.

  19. quarterback | October 2nd, 2009 at 12:56 pm

    Liam,

    It can’t be said too often, you are a pig.

  20. amk | October 2nd, 2009 at 01:01 pm

    Liam – LOL. So true. The hypocrisy and the hubris of this woman is astounding. Family values, my foot…

  21. Liam | October 2nd, 2009 at 01:04 pm

    QB,

    Coming from you, that is a compliment.

    QB,

    It can not be said often enough, Sarah Palin is a hypocritical freak, who got pregnant out of wedlock, and still continues to push her sexual abstinence only rubbish h. By the way, she was no teen, but actually twenty four years old when she got pregnant, before rushing into a shotgun marriage.

    She is a moronic fraud, and so are you.

  22. Liam | October 2nd, 2009 at 01:06 pm

    Again:

    Sarah Palin disqualified herself from ever being President.

    She said that she can not govern when she is a lame duck. Guess what a second term President is called, so Sarah, by her own rules, can not seek a second term. Guess what a one term President, who can not run again is called; A lame duck. Sarah, by her own rules can not govern as a lame duck one term President, so she would have to quit within a couple of years, after she got elected.

    That is what she did in Alaska, and that backwater small state, has a very cool kitchen, compared to the heat that she would feel in the Presidential kitchen.

    A Governor from a very small state, who quit after just two years, because she could not take the heat, is a weakling, a coward, a quitter, and a loser. No presidential timber to be found in Sarah, except for the block of it, between her ears.

    CHAPTER TWO:

    How I reduced rape complains, from women in Wasilla, by charging those who reported being raped, $1,200.00 each for Police Investigation Rape Kits. Yup! Yup! You Betcha!!

  24. Heretic | October 2nd, 2009 at 01:23 pm

    I think it’s time for the McCain crowd to acknowledge they are losers and pack it in. They’ve done enough damage to the Republican Party. Move aside and let a brighter, more principled, and more competent generation of people clean up the mess they helped create.

    1. The Republican Party needs to acknowledge that they are losers and pack it in.

    2. The damage to the Republican Party was done BEFORE John McCain picked his running mate.

    3. Where is this brighter, more principled, more competent generation of people you say are waiting in the wings to clean up the wreckage of the Republican Party? If anything, Rush, you seem to be doubling down on making sure that only the dimmer, least principled, grossly incompetent generation are allowed into the party at all … with all others driven forth as heretics to be burned at the stake. Even Tom DeLay freely admits that the Republican Party has succeeded in “devouring their own young” in that there are NO up and coming leaders for the party anywhere in evidence, either inside it or outside it.

    “For the good of The Party” was always the most chilling phrase used in Orwell’s book, 1984. Absolutely anything is justified … ANYTHING … so long as it is … “For the good of The Party.”

  25. quarterback | October 2nd, 2009 at 01:32 pm

    Liam,

    You aren’t only a pig but a liar. Stop peddling blogosphere myths. That never happened.

    Also, Greg really needs to do something about your ridiculous new practice of cutting and pasting the same hare-brained rants over and over. You are like a kindergartener, and old and decrepit one, to be sure, but with the mentality of a fiver year old.

  26. Liam | October 2nd, 2009 at 01:43 pm

    QB,

    You need to seek a cure for the Madonna fixation that you have on Sarah Barracuda.

    She was pregnant when she announced her sudden shotgun marriage, and the baby was born seven months later.

    I know you want to see her as an eternally pure Virgin, but get a grip on reality.

    She was still pushing her same old abstinence rubbish, while her teenage unwed daughter was pregnant.

    You are the one who is delusional.

  27. Freehold | October 2nd, 2009 at 01:46 pm

    I thought progressives were supposed to be non-judgmental, celebrate cultural diversity (like people who come from small towns in Alaska, have different faith traditions, speak with a different accent, etc.), be inclusive and accepting., etc.

    I don’t think Palin is feeling the progressive love.

  28. amk | October 2nd, 2009 at 02:00 pm

    yeah fh – we progressives are supposed to love the repug trash too, however hypocritic and hubristic and stoopid they are. It will happen may be in your wet dreams.

    Liam – Nailed it. madonna fixation. pathetic qb.

  29. Ethan | October 2nd, 2009 at 02:06 pm

    I thought conservatives were supposed to be for family values and personal responsibility.

    Ensign much?

  30. Liam | October 2nd, 2009 at 02:21 pm

    Wasilla, The Rape, and Meth capital of Alaska. Small Town Values, My Arse. Yup Yup, You Becha. If you have $1,200.00 dollars on you, we can have the police check out your complaint.

    Sarah Baracuda’s small town family values in practice. You Becha!

  31. Freehold | October 2nd, 2009 at 02:21 pm

    @ Ethan

    Yep. Whatever one voluntarily commits to, one should do. Lots of failures among the conservatives.

    One can overlook some things, forgive some things, but the people who volunteered for public life should, I think, be held to a higher standard.

    Ensign, Edwards … its a long list on both sides.

    I don’t really want any of these guys, on either side, making any more decisions about my life than absolutely necessary.

  32. quarterback | October 2nd, 2009 at 02:30 pm

    Freehold,

    You just don’t get it. When the “right” people — Kennedy, Rangel, Frank, Ried — have total power over us, we’ll all be better off.

  33. liam | October 2nd, 2009 at 02:36 pm

    QB, is now Certifiably Insane.

    The Moron thinks that Ted Kennedy is going to have “total power” over him.

    Someone get QB, to a mental health center, NOW!

  34. Freehold | October 2nd, 2009 at 02:46 pm

    @qb

    Yeah, that’s pretty much what I’m expecting. I can hardly wait.

    I don’t think our interlocutors on the other side quite appreciate it, but I (and I suspect you) actually believe limited a limited government, low tax, rule of law, private property and contract, personal responsibility, etc. social arrangement, as imperfect as it often is, provides in the aggregate, a better life for more people than any other approach on offer.

  35. liam | October 2nd, 2009 at 03:12 pm

    You pretend to believe all that rubbish that you spew, but in practice you support the Robber Barons, and ship out all the good paying, hands on manufacturing jobs, to places with slave wage workers, and no environmental protections.

    We handed over an annual budget surplus, and look what your crowd handed back.

    You are the enablers of the Oligarchs. The top one percent now own more of our national wealth than the bottom Ninety Five percent.

    We are fighting for the bottom ninety five percent. You are fighting for the Oligarchs.

    Your party is the party that creates national economic disasters, from Hover to Bush Two. That is the legacy of your coddling of Robber Barons.

  36. penalcolony | October 2nd, 2009 at 03:16 pm

    New generation, eh? Limbaugh is nearer McCain’s age than Palin’s, and Schmidt is young enough to be Limbaugh’s son. Time stops for no one, not even Rush . . .

  37. actuator | October 2nd, 2009 at 11:11 pm

    Liam needs to take a basic course in Econ 101. Price invariably controls sources of labor and materials acquisition. Of course the jobs are going where people are willing to work for less. Your so-called Robber Barons have nothing to do with it. We’re in a global economy D.A.

  38. Gary | October 3rd, 2009 at 06:58 am

    Steve Schmidt, the Republican Bob Shrum (a democrat campaign wonk who has never, EVER won a campaign!)

    For those of you who say McCain is not a moderate, you are right, he’s a “progressive” democrat who is too stupid to just go join his natural party!

    McCain couldn’t even draw 500 people in his home town during the campaign, until he picked Sarah Palin!

    McCain was on his way to a Mondale sized defeat before he picked Sarah Palin. (1984 Reagan beat Mondale by winning 49 states, he came within a point of winning Mondale’s home state, as well)

    THAT’S how bad McCain sucks.

    The entire GOP base hates this guy with a passion. There were no volunteers at GOP offices, and not a lot of money out there, until he did the one intelligent thing in his life, and picked Sarah Palin.

    Palin, whose VICE PRESIDENTIAL acceptance speech had a larger TV audience than Barry Soetoro’s PRESIDENTIAL acceptance speech (Fake Greek columns, and all) Fired up the base like no one since Reagan.

    Currently, Palin’s new book, which isn’t even through editing, and didn’t have a viewable jacket cover until yesterday,is number one at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

    Sarah’s book, based on journals she’s kept all her life was assembled in record time, with the help of Lynn Vincent, and has reached number one in Record time. The book won’t even be out for a month and a half, and it’s not only # 1, but it’s obvious the first run of 1.5 million copies will sell out before the release date.

    Oh, and she didn’t need a murdering domestic terrorist like William Ayers to write it for her, like Soetoro did with his “Dreams From The Kenyan Dude I Never Met”

    Sarah put on a clinic this summer on how to stop Obama in his tracks, and never broke a sweat. She was in Barry’s head before the election, that’s why he sent Pete Rouse, his Campaign Chief-of-Staff, now WH adviser, on a mission to Alaska to recruit a bunch of loser bloggers to attack her, she’s taken up permanent residence in his noggin ever since.

    She plays with Obama like he was a cat, and she had some string! Palin has done this all of her career. She took down the entire corrupt Republican party in Alaska after she “quit” her AOGCC chairmanship. (The Governor forbade her to clean house) She took down the Governor too!

    Obama tried Chicago thug politics on her, by having his Alaska Mafia file dozens of phony “ethics complaints” against her. All of which were thrown out.

    Sarah “quit” because while bogus, by law, the state still had to investigate, and Obama’s thugs had stolen $2 million from the taxpayers (that’s what it had cost taxpayers to investigate) and had she stayed,Obama’s thugs would have stolen more.

    Palin did the right thing. And she hanged the game.

    Obama and the rest of the communist party are deathly afraid of her, because when she runs, it’ll look like 1984 all over again, except Obama is so inept, he won’t even win his home state.

    McCain, Romney, Elmer Gantry Huckabee, and the rest of the “democrat light” wing of the Republican party fear her, because she just as soon take down a corrupt Republican, as look at ‘em, and that entire wing of the party is corrupt.

    History has proven one thing over, and over and over, wen the Republicans run a “democrat light” candidate, it’s EPIC FAIL, see 2008

    When we run OUR candidate, a rock solid, stone cold Conservative,we win record setting landslides.

    Enter Sarah Palin

    The woman has 1000 times more executive and leadership experience as that idiot Obama, and has a solid record of accomplishments that is the envy of other politicians.

    Case in point, Barry has the ENTIRE GOVERNMENT on his side. He has massive majorities in Congress, and yet, it’s pure gridlock, because he is not a leader, he’s an inexperienced empty suit with no game.

    Palin walked into her job as Governor with a decade of solid executive experience. She had a somewhat hostile democrat party, and a COMPLETELY hostile Republican party. Hell, they even refused to put her photo on the party’s website!

    And yet, in 2.5 years, she fulfilled each and every campaign promise!

    Barry flies over to Copenhagen to shill for his Chicago thug, slum lord buddies, and he didn’t have the skill to even pull that off.

    Sarah Palin, in less than 2 years, negotiated the largest ($40 BILLION) construction project in North American history, something Alaskan’s have tried for 30 years to do. Again, took her less than 2.

    Sarah put together an international coalition of businesses and governments.And unlike others that tried, negotiated a deal that will be paid for with private dollars, not taxpayer dollars.

    Sarah Palin= incredible success=45th President of the United States

    Barack Obama =total and epic failure (Olympic size)= one term loser

  39. The GOP Sucks | October 3rd, 2009 at 09:36 am

    Sarah Palin is the biggest LOSER in the history of presidential elections. She is a walking ******, blessed with knowledge of wilderness animals, frozen tundra, and Russia sightings. She is Dan Quayle in a skirt: a moron who will NEVER be elected president by the people of the United States.

  40. The GOP Sucks | October 3rd, 2009 at 09:41 am

    There will be war in the GOP. The moderates vs. the conservatives, with independents supporting the moderates. The conservatives will pack their bags and field a 3rd party candidate, assuring the re-election of Obama. Conservatives have destroyed the GOP, turning it into a bastion of Nazi, fascist, racist, misogynist, ignorant whackos.

  41. R.E.M | October 3rd, 2009 at 12:24 pm

    Remember GARY: Palin is a POLITICIAN !, all politicians fail, sometimes “EPIC FAIL”(sic) , as you said. Politics is wicked business, and when Ms Palin does fail, big or small, it’ll make the current feeding frenzy look like high tea. If she really is all you say she is, then she’ll use her outstanding wisdom, she’ll consider her family, and herself, and GRACEFULLY bow out.

  42. oddjob | October 3rd, 2009 at 02:32 pm

    Sarah Palin makes Dan Quayle look like Thomas Jefferson.

  43. oddjob | October 3rd, 2009 at 02:37 pm

    When polled this past July 67% of the country stated they don’t want her to ever be president.

  44. oddjob | October 3rd, 2009 at 02:37 pm

    Palin is white trash in a good body with a nice face.

  45. don | October 3rd, 2009 at 03:26 pm

    What we do know is that Steve Schmidt is a bumbling idiot who thinks the Republican party should embrace homosexual marriage as the authentic conservative position and winning electoral strategy. Riiight.

    The government has NO right whatsoever telling people who they can marry…especially when it’s to appease retrograde BIGOTS like you.

    Go to hell and stay the hell out of people’s personal lives and bedrooms.

  46. Tom from Colorado | October 3rd, 2009 at 03:27 pm

    Gary, actions speak louder than words.

    Sarah says abstinence, but she got pregnant before being married. Her daughter got pregnant without being married. I expected the daughter’s “engagement” to last until about a week after the election. When was the wedding?

    If you really want to know about Sarah as an elected executive, I suggest you read the financial report of the municipality of Wasilla, like I did, rather than getting it second hand. They’re online. I wasn’t impressed. Sarah was nothing special as mayor.

    Sarah Palin quit half way through her term as governor. She said it was to save the taxpayers money. Bull. As governor, she couldn’t go to Hong Kong and give a speech for $300K and “written” a book for a $7 million advance. This is about cashing in. Sarah spent $250K on a wardrobe for a presidential campaign, she can’t afford to exist on a elected official’s salary.

    You say that Sarah negotiated the largest construction project in North American history….Where can I buy gas from that pipeline? It’s not done? Well, when will it be done? It’s not started yet? When will it be started? You don’t know? How much gas to the pipeline partners have to sell? None? Why weren’t the companies that had the gas included in the deal? How likely is it that *this* deal will be completed? Don’t hold your breath.

    I voted for Obama, but I’m not gaga about any politician. You sound like you believe that the second coming might be a woman. Medication can help. You need it.

    # The GOP Sucks | October 3rd, 2009 at 09:41 am

    **************************************
    Dear GOP Sucks:

    First, the “independents” are running away from the democrat/communist party so fast their feet are smoking. And who gives a damned about “moderates” they’re morons who can’t even take a position. Losers.

    It’s the “moderates” who destroyed the Republican party, starting with Bush 41 and going through idiots like McCain. Count Huckabee and Romney in the mix.

    The ONLY time America gets solidly behind Republicans, is when we run CONSERVATIVES, like Reagan, Palin , and so on.

    Your rant about Nazis and so on is hilarious, and typical for a hate filled progressive.

    The Nazis were socialists, like the democrat party. Obama is about as close to Adolf Hitler as anyone, ever. See taking over banks, car companies, and sending union thugs to beat up on Americans

    But past that, it was American “progressives” who had the most profound influences on a young Adolf Hitler.

    It was Klu Klux Klan associate Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, who inspired Hitler to experiment with eugenics. It was Sanger’s work that helped Hitler justify the Holocaust!

    You see, like all “progressives” Sanger hated blacks. She founded Planned Parenthood as a way to fix the “Negro problem” she called them “human weeds.”

    And speaking of the Klu Klux Klan, that American terrorist group was founded by the DEMOCRAT party after the Civil War. It’s mission statement was to destroy the Republican party.

    You won’t find a lengthy list of Klan members in our party, but you damned sure will in the democrat party. In fact, the democrat party is the ONLY party that has ever had Klan members in Congress and Klan supporters in the White House (Woodrow Wilson)

    The democrats STILL have a Klan member in the Senate Robert Byrd of West Virginia. And Byrd isn’t just any Klan, he was a top leader.

    You can learn more about the absolute hate and racism, institutional racism, for the entire history of the democrat party here:

    It was the democrats who harassed the $hit out of him. Bill Moyers, that **** from PBS, was the one who convinced LBJ to wiretap all of King’s hotel rooms. Moyers worked for LBJ back then.

    Dr King was a REPUBLICAN, BTW, and was murdered by a DEMOCRAT!

    The democrat/communist party has DEFINED hate in America for over a century.

    Oh, and you have some huge balls talking about misogyny and being a member of the democrat/communist party! You freaks HATE women, scared of strong women.

    Look at how you treated Hillary Clinton, just to boost this empty suit moron you have in office now!

    You have no idea how many Conservatives have stood up for Hillary after the way YOUR party treated her.

    YOUR party is built on nothing but hate, lies and deceit.

    Dear R E M

    All HUMANS fail. Period.

    Failure isn’t so much about failure, it’s what you do afterwards. It’s how you handle it. The only “failure” I have seen in Sarah’s decades long political career, was when she lost her bid as Lt Governor of Alaska. And that ended with her being appointed to one of the most powerful jobs in Alaska, the Chairman of the AOGCC.

    History tells us that she took on big oil and made them clean their act up. History also tells us that when she found out about Frank Murkowski’s “Corrupt ******** Club” and what was going on in her agency, and was blocked from firing them all, she “quit” this powerful job, then spent the next year taking down the entire Republican party leadership, all members of Murkowski’s “Club.” People still sit in prison over it.

    History tells us she took down Murkowski too.

    Now, Palin is focused on Obama. I actually pity that poor son-of-a-*****! He made the mistake of sending his thugs into Alaska to screw with her. Absolutely the stupidest mistake ever made by a politician.

    Folks that have actually studied Sarah Palin’s life knows that Alaska is littered with the remains of folks who have messed with her.

    This woman doesn’t know the meaning of the word quit.She got the nickname “Sarahcuda” playing basketball. She was fearless. She played the championship winning game with a broken foot. (broke it in the opening minutes)She played, and scored the game winning points!

    As a commercial fisherman, she once broke her hand when two boats collided in rough waters. She went and got it fixed up, and was back at work, working the nets, the same day.

    You think something like an Obama really means anything to her?

    If Sarah runs for President, and every indication is she will, she will win in a landslide. She already has a bigger “get out the vote” operation than Obama did, and we are 3 years out!

    Sarah has actual experience, and accomplishments. Obama is the very essence of failure, because he had never done a damned thing in his life before now.

    Obama had his education handed to him. He had people like terrorist Bill Ayers and pornographer and pedophile Frank Marshall Davis looking out for him.

    The only thing that resembles a job on Obama’s resume was his time at ACORN, a know criminal enterprise.

    Obama was a “trainer” for that corrupt organization. Obama used his communist upbringing (his mother, father, and white grnndparents were all practicing communists)to his advantage.

    It was Obama’s job to teach that ACORN rent-a-thugs the finer points of anti-American Communist Saul Alinsky’s “Rules For Radicals” a book dedicated to Lucifer (the Devil) Alinsky, a Chicago gangster and anti_American communist, was the “father” of “community organizing.”

    Oh, and unrepentant murdering domestic terrorist Bill Ayers also hired Obama to work on his “education foundation” where they funneled millions to criminal groups like ACORN.

    But the idiot liar Obama claims he doesn’t know much about ACORN!

    He also claimed Ayers was just a guy in the neighborhood. What a joke! Obama and Ayers have been running buddies since Obama’s Columbia days!

    Hell, Ayers wrote Obama’s first book for him!

    Obama’s side kick Valerie Jarrett’s parents were best buds with Bill Ayers’ parents! Valerie calls Obama her “brother”

    Obama won the state senate seat by having his opponent disqualified on a technicality, and won his US Senate seat by forcing his opponent to drop out.Obama had his thug friends open Ryan’s sealed divorce papers.

    Obama PERSONALLY called up the troopers union in Alaska, and then sent his campaign Chief-of-Staff, Pete Rouse, who is now a White House adviser up to Alaska to gin up the bogus “Troopergate” witch hunt.

    After the election, Obama paid off state senator Kim Elton for his efforts to try and smear Palin with a job in the Depart. of Interior.

    When THAT didn’t stop Palin, he then had Rouse contact hate bloggers Shannyn Moore, Jeanne Devon, Linda Biegel, and others, to have them recruit people to start filing ethics complaints against her. Typical Chicago thug politics.

    Sarah outsmarted that moron when she stepped down. She also stopped the thugs from stealing more money from the Alaska taxpayers. Obama’s stunt cost the Alaska taxpayers $2 million dollars investigating all of the bogus claims.

    But I know someone like you is too ignorant to grasp what all of this is about.

    Palin is a winner. She has always been a winner, she will always BE a winner.

    Winners do fail from time to time, but they never stop winning.

    Obama, is a loser. A fraud. An empty suit. An inexperienced hack! He’s already made himself totally re-election proof.

    The entire fun from now to 2012 will not be that Sarah Palin is going to kick his *** on a regular basis, and be our next President, hell, that’s a given. The fun will be watching HOW she does it!

    It won’t be pretty, for Obama, and I honestly do feel sorry for that useless waste of time. She is going to whip him like a rented mule!

    ****************************************

    Dear Tom from Colorado:

    Hahahahahahaha!

    Nice try using those Saul Alinsky tactics buddy. EPIC FAIL.

    ( Rule 4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”)

    You see, moron, no one is perfect. And while Sarah indeed supports abstinence as the only sure fire way not to get pregnant, which of course it is, she also supports *** ed in school, as well as the teaching of the use of condoms. Her stance is, it’s the parents job, but not all parents do it, so someone has to.

    BTW, do you REALLY want to bring up unwed mothers?

    Lets see, Sarah got pregnant, married her high school sweetheart, and had 4 more kids, and has a very successful loving marriage. They just celebrated their anniversary!

    Now lets talk about your man Obama’s mother.

    Stanley Ann Dunham was the town pump. She not only got pregnant with Barry, but Barack Obama Sr was STILL MARRIED when he became a sperm donor.

    When Obama Sr hauled *** back to Kenya to his wife and kids there, Ann hooked up with another communist, Lolo Soetoro, and moved to Indonesia. Lolo adopted little Barry, and seemed to be a decent father, but Ann got tired of Barry, and dumped him on her parents door step when he was 10.

    Her parents, in turn, enlisted communist, pornographer, and pedophile Frank Marshall Davis to “mentor” Barry. Davis, who was so radical they kicked him out of the NAACP, was Barry’s substitute father until he left for collage. Davis is “Uncle Frank” in Barry’s books!

    So again, do you REALLY want to have this conversation, REALLY?

    Now I have studied Sarah Palin a long time. I knew about her long before McCain picked her. I was part of the Draft Sarah for VP movement, in fact.

    I have studied her days as mayor. Quite impressive. She grew Wasilla quite well.

    I’ve never met Sarah, but have good friends in Alaska who know all about it. And all about her. Never hear nothing but high praise.

    Sarah actually “quit” her job for several reasons. The money Obama’s thugs were stealing was at the top of the list, for sure.

    But Sarah knew from day one Obama was a disaster. She knew two things, someone had to stop this un-American loser, and the she couldn’t do it from Alaska.

    Sarah had a great Lt Governor to take her place, and hand picked a Lt Governor to take his place, Lt General Craig E Campbell. They are continuing Sarah’s agenda, in peace.

    You see, Tom from Colorado, Obama’s thugs were not only costing the state a $hitload of money, they had paralyzed her government with their stunts. It was a brilliant move on her part to step down. Nothing changed, for the Alaskan people, the same thing they asked Sarah to do, will still get done, but the sideshow is over.

    Even better, Sarah is now free to focus on destroying Obama and the rest of the democrat/communist party. Cant wait to see her stump for candidates in 2010.

    Bye-bye democrat/communist party!

    .

    Oh, and nice bull$hit talking point with the clothes. You even added $100K to the price. Here’s the FACTS, now that it’s obvious you are devoid of any.

    Those clothes were purchased by a Minnesota GOP supporter named Jeff Larson. They were purchased before Sarah even hit the state. If you remember the reports, clothes were bought in various sizes, that’s because Jeff’s folks weren’t sure of her size.

    Sarah comes from ALASKA, it’s WINTER 360 days a year up there! Arctic wear isn’t exactly the best for going around the lower 48 in the summer!

    And dumbass McCain waited for the last possible moment to announce his choice, even though the person in charge of vetting his VP candidates, all 25 of them,A B Culvahouse had told him Sarah was the one early on.

    She was on the road to Ohio and at work before she even HAD TIME to shop for suitable wear. But I know all of this means nothing to morons like you.

    You think Sarah is the first candidate that ever had a campaign buy some clothes for them? You truly are clueless then.

    Oh, and yes, she is going to become FILTHY RICH! GOOD! if anyone deserves it, it’s Sarah.

    Oh, and while she was earning $300K (PLUS EXPENSES) in China, she also raised $63,500 for the Wounded Warriors “Ride2Recovery” program.

    Sarah will become seriously wealthy from speaking. She had 1070 solid offers as of a month ago. 950 of those paying customers, all six figures! The rest are politicians wanting her help, and charities.

    And much like talking unwed mothers, do you REALLY want to talk books? REALLY?

    You are just beggin’ for disaster, aren’t you?

    First, Sarah Palin is one of those geeks we all knew in school who kept journals all of their lives.

    Sarah has kept extensive journals since she was a kid. The goddamn book was written before she ever had offers to write it!

    She also kept a daily journal during the campaign, that should make for some juicy reading!

    Now unlike most “authors” Sarah announced, up front, that she was going to have a COLLABORATOR. That collaborator is Lynn Vincent. Lynn is a great author in her own right.

    But the words are all Sarah’s.

    In fact, right after she left office in July, she and the family basically moved to San Diego, California to put the thing together, then Sarah went to New York where she worked night and day getting it done.

    And of course, this book has broken all sorts of records, and was the number one selling book within hours of it’s announcement!

    Now let’s move on to you hero Barack Obama.

    It’s FACT that murdering and unrepentant, domestic terrorist William Ayers wrote “Dreams From My Father.” for Obama.

    This was a rumor back in 2008, but it confirmed fact now.

    And while I can’t remember the name, Obama’s second book was ghostwritten as well.

    Obama can’t speak without his teleprompter, so how in the hell could he have written a book!

    This *** was the “editor” of the Harvard Law Review, but absolutely NOTHING exists to prove it. There are no published examples of his work!

    RS McCain has some info, but a simple trip to Google will get you plenty of info on Obama and his terrorist buddy and the book:

    http://rsmccain.blogspot.com/2009/09/when-you-need-bill-ayers-to-ghost-write.html

    Again, why you liberals think going after Sarah for OPENLY having a COLLABORATOR (not a ghost writer) is beyond me, especially when Dr Utopia had a murdering anti-American terrorist write his!!

    And trust me, every single time someone brings that nonsense up, there are going to be plenty people bringing up Obama pallin’ around with his book writing terrorist buddies!

    BTW, what started all of this off was someone who had read Ayers’ anti-American hate fantasy “Prairie Fire” then read “Dreams” the writing style is identical, too identical!

    Oh and two other democrats who LIED about writing their books:

    JFK, he didn’t write his Pulitzer-prize winning book, “Profiles in Courage.” His speechwriter, Ted Sorenson, did.

    Hillary Clinton didn’t write “It Takes A Village.” Barbara Feinman did for a fee of $120,000.

    Both CLAIMED to have written their own, they lied.

    Sarah Palin was completely upfront about her deal with Lynn Vincent.

    Another EPIC FAIL for you, Tom in Colorado!

    Oh, and that gas line, well, let me see. As it IS the largest construction project in North American history, and the pipeline is 1,715 miles long, it won’t be ready tomorrow!

    The pipeline, which will bring clean natural gas to the lower 48, through Canada, is scheduled to be online in 2019.

    This sort of thing takes time.

    It’s why we need to be exploring for oil NOW, and building nuclear power plants NOW, it takes time.

    Oh, and again, Alaskans have worked, planned, and dreamed of this project for 30 years. Every Governor promised it, Sarah did it! In just two, short years!

    It’s amazing that the communists don’t want America to use her own natural God given resources. We have more oil than the Middle East. Just oil off the coast would make us independent, but OH NO, we can’t use that, because of the “environment.”

    And yet, Obama sent $10 billion to Brazil so Petrobas could drill off THEIR coast.

    You think that had anything to do with the fact that Obama’s puppet master George Soros bought controlling interest in Petrobas 3 days before?

    Obama is a fraud, and a crook.

    Sarah Palin is the real deal. Sarah has two decades worth of substantial achievements.

    Obama had never run a city, never run a state, never run a lemonade stand before he became POTUS based on lies and the media carrying his water.

    Sarah has a solid record of fighting corruption, even in her own party.

    My buddy Ron Devito has a website that has cataloged her career accomplishments. It’s a very full website.

    He just posted this deal, on another site, which is what she did THIS YEAR. It’s extensive.

    Sarah did more in the 7 months she was Governor this year, than most politicians do in a lifetime:

    http://sarahpalininformation.wordpress.com/2009/10/01/master-list-of-governor-palins-2009-accomplishments/

    I want to thank all of the hatemongers here. Thanks for all of the silliness which gives one the chance to set the record straight, and expose Obama for the worthless lying fraud he is, as well!

    Great job!

    Get used to this phrase: “Madam President, Sarah Palin”

    You’ll be hearing it daily from January 20, 2013 until January 20, 2021.

  48. Quarterback | October 4th, 2009 at 05:10 am

    Gary,

    I hope you are right on how 2012 goes if Sarah runs, but, either way, amazing comment that cuts tobthe chase. What we are seeing is a unique case study in style and image and pseudo-intellectualsm (Obama) versus substance (Palin). Obama is a “smart” but lightweight campus neo-Marxist internationalist who came from a relatively privileged background leading him to elite universities. In between, he reinvented himself as a radical agitator and later a ruthless Chicago pol.

    Palin is the opposite in every way, a genuine common sense and instinctive conservative and a genuine leader, rather than just an operator who was always told she was special and the smartest girl in class.

  49. Quarterback | October 4th, 2009 at 05:21 am

    Don,

    Your comment is logically absurd. The whole question is whether government definitions of marriage should be changed, not whether there should be a definition. Government doesn’t tell anyone whom to marry, but it has to have a definition of what marriage is.

    And, no, I’m not going to go to hell.

  50. BillW | October 4th, 2009 at 09:03 am

    As I read some of your posts, I think that most of you are under the Voting age, & really need to study the Consitition, & how this Nation was formed, & why!
    Then answer this question, when you flush a tolite, where does it go & who pays for it, or as you put your trash out at the corner, where dose it go & who pays for it to get there?
    How mush does it cost for these services?
    Why does it cost that much, & how long has it been costing that much?

  51. dolly crane | October 4th, 2009 at 09:30 am

    Forget Palin. McCain is nuts–plain and simple. First he picks the woman and then because people liked her more than him, he’s now her biggest critic. He spent too many years behind bars. I know he’s a hero but he’s still nuts.

  52. GerryP | October 4th, 2009 at 02:25 pm

    Gary: Jeez…do you have any idea how long your posts are? I tried reading it and got afraid I’d miss the 2010 election. Here’s my question…What specific ideas do Republicans have to make the country better? John Boehner said they don’t need to propose anything because they’re in the minority party. Seriously. So…what constructive ideas do Rush or Beck have? And same question to you.

  53. quarterback | October 5th, 2009 at 03:33 pm

    Gary,

    I just now saw and read your second post. Yeah, it is longish as GerryP says, but also one of the most epic comments I’ve ever seen. Trust me, the lefty inhabitants here can’t handle that much bracing truth at once, (okay, none, really), but they have to be licking their wounds after that pasting.

  54. Sahita | October 5th, 2009 at 05:16 pm

    The Republicans won so many elections in the past by carrying centrist and right leaning Independents who Obama was able to pick up in part after the nomination of Palin. Palin is the reason the Republicans lost. Limbaugh backing their reason for failure shows whoever fills his pockets is trying to bring down not only the Democratic Party but also the Republican and thus America. We have seen the enemy and it is Rush..Hannity..O’Reilly..Beck..Hate equates the Fall Of the United States of America just as the unbridled deregulation of corporations and union busting that took our industries abroad did. We’re just not that stupid.

  55. Chumbulina | December 1st, 2009 at 01:10 am

    I will give anyone 10-1 odds on Palin 2012, that is what major online betting groups are giving her. The Media talks as though Palin is viable just because it is good for ratings but it is interesting how people act when they have to back their statements. Conservatives who think Palin is the next Reagan would do well to read Peggy Noonan’s take on her, which I think is probably closest to what The Gipper might have thought.

    This is an excellent article, I’ll definitely be adding you to my blogroll :)
