Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer seem to flee from those who unapologetically stand for true Christian morality.

Well, since they're both Jewish .... and please don't take that as an antisemitic remark. I just thought your comment was funny, considering.

Kristol said on "Morning Joe."

On morning Joe? That's all you need to know.

Stopped right there.

If the libs actually thought that Obama could beat Palin, they would be singing her praises right now.

The Country Club gives the street urchins another reason to vote for her.

Kraut and Kristol—why should I care what they think about a candidate? I don’t trust either of them.

“Bill Kristol has been savaging Palin for weeks in the Weekly Standard. He has been saying that “He never realized she was so stupid”...” ~ Minus_The_Bear

But he’s afraid of her.

Krystol: “...But she’s a shrewd woman and I wouldn’t underestimate her.”

Here is the clip:

“...I’ve been disappointed since she resigned as governor...”

Had Sarah remained as Governor, 100 percent of her time would have been taken up with battling radical leftists at the expense of the state. Sarah has the left foaming at the mouth, and no one before Sarah has faced the degree of hate and politics of destruction that Sarah has. Even if she doesn’t run for president, every conservative candidate owes her a debt of gratitude, because she has taken the heat off of them.

This notion that Sarah needs to become a policy wonk, able to discuss all things political, economic and legal with the sophistication of a veteran Potomac sipper is nonsense. She isn’t ivy league, and that’s part of what makes her good for this country. ...She has good conservative principles and the intelligence to understand life outside the beltway. I’m not sure who I am going to support in the primaries, but should Sarah run, and win the primaries, she deserves a lot better from rightwing pundits than the swill they are throwing out now.

More in terms of framing the agenda???

I’d like Kristol to name me one Republican 2012er who’s done more to shape the agenda than she has. From Death Panels to supporting the AZ Immigration law, to opposing the GZ Mosque, to getting behind and supporting the tea party, to coming out against bailing out states, to opposing the stimulus, to endorsing and supporting candidates like Paul(when McConnell and the establishment backed the other guy), Perry(When Bush41, Rove, Cheney and the establishment backed Hutchison), Haley, Martinez, Ayotte, West, Scott, O’Donnell, Branstad, Miller, Duffy(forcing Obey into retirement), she’s led more than anyone on just about every issue there is.

What has Romney led on?(Other than signing the prototype for Obamacare and forcing folks in MA to buy health insurance?) What has Huckabee led on(Other than commuting sentences for cop-killers)? What has Pawlenty led on?(Most people wouldn’t even know who he is if he knocked on their door). What agenda have they framed?

She’s virtually soley defined the conservative and Republican agenda. Way moreso than any of the other guys. He must not have been paying attention.

As for Charles K and his hopes that she’d become on expert. What was Obama an expert on when he was elected? What was W an expert on in 2000? What was Clinton an expert on in 1992? Reagan in 1980? Carter in 1976? None of them were experts on anything. If anything, her experience and expertise in the energy sector is much greater than any prior President had in a given field.

Has Team Romney still no shame?

Mitt is nothing but a cowardly jackal, hiding under
other peoples’ skirts and pants.

Oh, I agree, and I think she was known for that in Alaska. It’s just my preference to hear her more on that than the reality-show stuff. I fully expect her to come out prepared and loaded for grizzly once she announces. It would be counterproductive in some ways for her to commit to too many policy specifics too soon.

Well that's a giant leap down from FNC’s panel.

NO ONE in the GOP ever defended this woman..
I am sick and tired of these so-called Conservatives coddling up to Dems

The GOP RINOs will keep going on their present course and hand Obama his second term on a silver platter.

Tea party participants, supporters and conservatives and independents in general are not amused with these democrat-lite (and not so light) @sshats who bash true Constitutional conservatives at every televised and public speaking opportunity.

In her speech on Friday. gov Palin made a reference to the fact that Reagan always said he didn't leave his party his party left him as the reason for him changing from dem to rep. I wonder if that wasn't a small warning to the gop establishment by Gov Palin.

Sounds like Kristol didn’t read Sarah’s second book.

She’ll get so many contributions and volunteers, in so little time, it’ll make Mr. Obama’s 2008 campaign look like then Senator Warren G. Harding’s 1920 bid. I will raise $2 million for her and I’m convinced I’m not alone in that.

Sometimes I feel, if I were Sarah Palin, I’d run, as an Independent, yeah would that mean she would lose, yes, but you know what, sometimes principal comes before anything else. Its not like the GOP is going to let her run anyway, oh and for anyone that thinks that the GOP won’t treat Michele Bachmann(Who I like very much) the exact same way, just watch, I guarantee it..the second she comes out and says she is running the same fools you see trashing Sarah Palin will turn right around and trash Bachmann. They don’t see Bachmann as a big threat right now, she is just playing the field, seeing her options, but if she runs, BOOM the trashing will start, it will be like High School times 10
