In my previous post, I observed that when the Republican party machine says one thing, and Sarah Palin says a different thing, Republican party activists do what Sarah Palin says, and not what the party machine says. But, of course, we next have to ask do Republican voters do what Republican party activists say, or do they do what the party machine says? The question is now answered.

going rogue: compassionate conservatism
Sarah Palin has announced Our nation is at a crossroads, and this is once again a “time for choosing.†But unfortunately, the leadership of the Republican party, “the political machine†does not want a straight up and down vote on the choice. Suddenly Sarah Palin is the leader of the Republican party, and “the political machine†is no longer the leader, for when “the political machine†endorsed Dede Scozzafava for …
Republican party hacked
Entryism is a small team of conspirators trying to manipulate and control another organization – usually a larger organization with a bigger mailing list and more funds. If one entryist is in an organization with assets and name worth having, there are usually others.
Betraeus, the candidate to smash the GOP
So a general who has been conducting a losing war will unite the GOP behind everything it hates, plus a policy of continuing to lose the war for the next four years. Watch out for flying pigs.
Obama hates Americans
Brutally honest points to an interesting statement by President Barack Hussein Obama: We are putting the full force of the White House and the State Department to make sure that not only is this is a successful games but that visitors from all around the world feel welcome, and I think that, you know, over the last several years sometimes sometimes, uh, that … that fundamental truth about the United …
The brilliance of Sarah Palin’s “common sense conservatismâ€
When the nation is in trouble, “common sense conservativism†sure sounds mighty attractive, even if you do not know, or much care, what precisely it means. Sarah Palin is a politician who has her finger right on the pulse of the ordinary American. If you are a “common sense conservative†then that implies that other conservatives, such as perhaps “compassionate conservativesâ€, are naive utopians who brought disaster on the nation, …
President McCain would have been worse.
McCain would have implemented the policies of financial ruin, national socialism, economic destruction, defeat and humiliation from the“centerâ€, and these policies would have been associated with Sarah Palin instead Bill Ayers and Reverend Wright.
Aiming to lose in Afghanistan
Obama is smart enough to know you should not announce intent to retreat in advance, so I conclude that for political reasons, he aims to lose in Afghanistan, and aims to justify the defeat with a disturbingly large level of American casualties rather than leaving immediately. The great wrong is staying there without intent to win.
There is no Republican party
If the republican party existed, it would be going after Van Jones’ scalp and the Obama
health plan, rather than Glen Beck and Sarah Palin going after them. The leadership of the Republican party, like the movement for Obama’s health plan, is itself merely astroturf manufactured in Washington.
Murderer of Mary Jo Mary Jo Kopechne dies
After influencing and writing a vast amount of legislation, all of it as evil and repugnant as himself, Edward Kennedy died forty years after disposing of an inconvenient mistress. By accident or design, Kennedy’s car wound up upside down in the water, with Kennedy not in it, and his girlfriend in it. It retained an air bubble for a substantial period, which means that his girlfriend was alive for a …
