The Right Scoop
You know what's 'compassionate conservatism'? Corporations are evil, they must be regulated. "Oil men" are evil.
Rush Limbaugh doesn't fit that bill. He's no Huey Newton class warfarist.
I would rather have a big, bad, "tool of corporate America", than a "compassionate" spread-the-wealth populist-style class envy person.
What's called "crony" Capitalism exists, 1990s Russia, but not in the narrative the Democrats frame it or as often as they think it happens. Halliburton is soo evil, big CORPORATIONS are soo evil.
I'm not the kind of Marxist who buys into that 'compassionate con' view.
Some of them are bad, same with any occupation, but most are just hard-working people making do for their families.
I would not buy Michael Moore's propaganda that Bush was an Arab tool, or any of his other silly conspiracy theories.
Rush Limbaugh is not the type of person who would demonize 'oil men'. He understands capitalism.
'Nuff said.
She is a Hatch supporter. Her own words. She said the Tea Party should line up behind him and not attack him. I heard the interview. Don't try to spin it to excuse her and put words in her mouth you wish were in there.
She is not 100% conservative. She also attacks oil companies. She also defended Carly's record. She didn't support DeVore, she put herself behind Carly and defended her record.
Don't we usually not go for 'electable', anyway? She said with her we got a winner. She defended her credentials because she saw nothing wrong with them, said as much, and she defended Hatch's, and she tried to offer a defense of McCain's.
She's not a baby. Nobody 'makes' her endorse people she doesn't want to. She's accountable for what she says and what she does and should be held accountable just like anyone else. You can't, as I've seen some do, make up conspiracies about how she doesn't 'really' support so-and-so that she's gone on record as explicitly praising. That is sexist, and it denies that she is her own person who makes her OWN decisions. You can't just rationalize it away when she says something you don't like and if she had a problem with so-and-so, she would have said as much, but she didn't because she doesn't think we should challenge Hatch.
Malkin got angry over her support for Hatch.
Most national politicians have a bad position on illegals. That's a fact. Including Palin.
Told Univision that it would be "inhumane" to deport all of them, and she supports a guest worker program.
Not so surprising from McCain's running mate, I guess.
She wouldn't be the only one who's weak on this issue because most people are.
Bachmann, by contrast, doesn't indicate that to me. numbersusa gives her a good score of B-. Most candidates who run or may run don't score that high.
You want to think about that?
I do think she ain't gonna run. I think he's wrong, she's not going to.
She's not the patron saint of all things anti-RINO. She is a supporter of Orrin Hatch, McCain, Carly, and honestly there's more because there's just as much dirt on her as there is with these other guys if you look at records and statements.
Sarah Palin has ALL READY been vetted MORE than ANY other candidate,...
and been found wanting by the lame-stream media,...
What more of a reason, IF she runs, do you need to vote for her?
When the lame-stream media's shorts get in a bunch over someone as much as they do over Sarah Palin,...
Then that person MUST be doing something RIGHT!!
Ok, Mr. Karl Rove, now that you have told us what we, American Patriotic Tea Party Palin supporters, already know.. what's next.. the world is round, and the grass is green..
So Karl, should we now get down on our knees and thank you for acknowledging and even allowing Gov. Palin, and her supporters, to even be considered, in your prognosticating prediction political list of possible Presidential candidates, of who are in, and not in the race for US President..
Well, at least you are starting to wake up to the facts of and about Gov. Palin..
Here's something interesting for you..
Amy Siskind from The New Agenda made a passionate and educated analysis of the need for a Sarah Palin presidency whilst confirming, in her opinion, her long held belief that Palin will definitely run for president.
Appearing on Fox & Friends Election HQ Sunday morning Siskind set out that Palin was a unique talent and, as opposed to Texas Governor and candidate Rick Perry, who she described as "not the solution" Palin "is the solution".
Siskind canvassed Pailn's success as governor of Alaska and her ability to reach across the aisle, a capability she said, that "no other GOP candidate has."
"American Patriotic Tea Party Palin supporters"
She doesn't have the support of everyone in the Tea Party. No politician founded the Tea Party except Obama. Or I guess by proxy we're supporters of an Orrin Hatch supporter like she is?
We don't kneel before politicians. We try to get them to kneel before us. :)

Karl Rove is an A**. He thinks he is still an empire builder. He is a Rhino and should be put out to pasture.
Karl Rove is such a a**. He still things people pay attention to him. He still thinks he is an empire builder. He is a old Rhino and should be put to pasture.
Wow did that bring back memories like…
I hate Bosco it very bad for me
My mommy put it in my milk and tried to poison me
I fooled mommy and put it in her tea
And now I have no mommy to try and poison me
Wow that goes back lol
But is Rove being authentic with what he said about Palin? Does he really believe it? Or is it all just for political purposes, to cause a fracture in the party that leads to Romney's nomination? Is he BS'ing with us so as to get things his way in the end?
That doesn't mean what he said isn't true by any means. I question as to if he was being truthful with HIMSELF by saying it.
Ryan (as well as Michele Bachmann and Thaddeus McCotter) need to overcome historical odds. No member of the House of Representatives has won the Presidency in a very long time.
Not saying it will never ever happen, but such a run wouldn't be easy by any stretch of the imagination.
Doesn't it feel that way? The GOP country-club establishment doesn't want Perry, and they certainly don't want Palin. This is their worst nightmare.
I think I know what Presidential ticket I want next year... but instead of a VP, why not have the two of them as CO-Presidents to make the establishment REALLY apoplectic?
(Literally, I can't decide who I would want at the top at this point. Lol.)
Not sure if Bosco's still made. Probably is, but certainly not in the Midwest. I'd have to look that up. ;)
Mark Davis put it best on Friday (Rush fill-in) equating Romney to empty calories. And that's what he's been all along. Boring, blah, and incapable of winning outside of Michigan (and maybe New Hampshire).
I feel bad in a way for Huntsman. It's tough to suffer long-term amnesia and completely forget what political party you actually belong to.
We'll see. I think it's starting to become a very safe assumption that whomever wins the GOP nomination (Palin, Perry or *gulp* Romney) has an excellent shot at becoming President. The primaries will be where it's at.
Unless it's Jon Huntsman. God forbid.
You are correct. And Chris Matthews has not appeared on Rush's show (either as a call-in guest or fill-in host) since he went bat-crap insane on MSNBC.

Let me try to understand this:
Rove not just a few months ago was solidly in the anti-Palin camp, no? (At least I thought he was.) So why prop her up now? Why reverse course so quickly and so blatantly?
Is it because he doesn't want Perry - an obvious now bitter rival and another so-called anti-establishment GOP guy (moreso because of the Bush fallout) - to get the nod instead of Romney? That would seem to make sense. Aid and abet the establishment candidate, defeat your rival, and also take out the other candidate you deemed "unelectable" not long ago, all at the same time.
This is pretty much Rove's Waterloo.
What still doesn't make sense is Ann Coulter's inexplicable wanton desire for Chris Christie to run. Unless she's doing THAT just to get a cheap rise out of Hannity.
HAHAHA!!! Rove doesn't know anything. He says she has to jump in next week? Ummm... NO! Sarah won't jump in until the last possible minute because once she's in, the media will only focus on her. She knows there are others who are waiting to get in and so she can't get in before they do. By the same token, Rove knows this too and it's holding up the ones he wants to see in and is trying to get Palin to jump in or to try and make her irrelevant. Not gonna work, Rove.
Palin only needs to have the public re-vet her (i.e., completely disproving all of the misconceptions and accusations made about her since September 2008). I am very intrigued by how her team will approach that.
If she's holding out to sabotage the other possible candidacies, then it's pretty shrewd on her part. There will have to be a drop-dead date for those people first; who knows when that will be.
and your going to let the Marxist Media pick your candidate...Sarah Palin is the only one who can woop the bamster....they have tried to destroy her and she is still standing and is stronger than ever...what else can they do?
think of this 24,000 e-mails and NOTHING___NOTHING!!!!! Could you go through that kind of anal exam and come out of it with not one incriminating thing found.... your Ron Paul is a good man but will be eaten alive by the Marxist Media sorry...
*sigh* Do we actually think that here?
Bachmann, Perry, Gingrich, Cain, there's Plenty of good candidates who ARE running, Palin will not and as has been pointed out, doesn't totally grasp the free market.

I said it later on in the thread, but it HAS to be a given that if she declares, her campaign team will be in total overdrive to debunk and disprove all of the lies/misconceptions that have been said about her. They will need to exert total control to reclaim her narrative.
I'm very interested to see how they do it.
get the movie THE UNDEFEATED and then tell me what you think...i will be buying several copies and will let people watch them and telling them to give them to others to watch
went to the showing at our theater 40 miles away and WOW! i learned a lot and see no one out there i trust more than her to get done what has to get done
KARL ROVE pushing Sarah Palin: "I want Mitt Romney as the nominee, not Perry."
BILL KRISTOL pushing Paul Ryan: "I want Mitt Romney as the nominee, not Perry."
Romney you can guarantee wants neither saying the obvious. And SHAME ON YOU Bill Kristol for dragging Marco Rubio into your games.
