I was right...

When people were attacking Sarah Palin and calling her damaged, unelectable, too polarizing..ect..I said that we needed to stand by Palin because the media will use the same type of attacks against other conservative candidates as long as they work. Look at the current crop of candidates, how does Sarah Palin look now ?

The lesson to be learned here is that we need to fight and stop trying to appease the liberal media. Too many Republicans stopped supporting Sarah Palin so they could find a candidate that is more acceptable to the main stream media. Its very disturbing.

You are right, and I said the same thing. They destroyed Sarah not because of Sarah, but because that’s how they work and after Sarah they turned on the next target, after him, on the next and so on. THERE IS NOTHING TO THESE CHARGES, NOTHING! And we shouldn’t even stoop down to discuss them, responding to these MSM/Axelrod inventions like Pavlovian dogs.

Wait till your current best boy gets attacked. Like Sarah, like Herman!

A compilation of points hit me: The lesson to be learned here is that we need to fight and stop trying to appease the liberal media. Too many Republicans stopped supporting Sarah Palin so they could find a candidate that is more acceptable to the main stream media. Its very disturbing. . The Left is organized around propaganda. From seeding news organizations with their operatives to networks like Journolist, they have a coordinated attack on the Right,. . Either the Right gets a grip on this and retaliates or we all end up slaves of the latter day Bolsheviks. . . We will get what we deserve. . Yes you were right but it is nothing new what happened. It's SOP -- and the liberal media often get help from the Republicans! . . I think there is a lot of us that keep thinking (hoping) that media was remotely fair that the Republican party was an actual separate party and not just the same political thespians dancing stage right on the political stage. .

So, we have an elite financial-political socialist class that presents two different parties for consumption and candidates are picked for us and the whole thing is a charade. Okay, so I'm late to the party realizing this. This next election better 'work' or we have to confront the unappetizing possibility of watering the tree of liberty. 76% of the American people think we're going in the wrong direction. Obama averages -20 in the strongly approve-disapprove Rasmussen poll. . . and people are saying Obama with a billion dollars is going to win reelection.

November 6, 2012 is thee election of our lifetime. If Obama somehow wins because of the MSM, the Chicago machine, voter fraud, his 'base', and other machinations, then we have a big decision to make. I lost one relative in WWII and one in Vietnam. We all have a relative or friend we've lost in wartime. We're just not going to let our country be converted to a communist state without a fight. . .

Are we too late?

I don't know. We're not too late in the sense of it being impossible to remain free, but we could very easily be too late in the sense that we have lost the opportunity to stop totalitarianism cheaply. We've paid for some expensive mistakes in our country's history, and we might be due for another one. The first Civil War was bad enough, and neither side was evil in that one. We can thank God that the overwhelming majority of those who support the other side are at lazy and inept. It's only a small fraction who are both evil and capable - the ones who want power over those who follow socialism's pretty-sounding words.
