Enjoy and if you've not ever been to AK you definitely should go! I didn't want to come home, but of course there's the winters to deal with which I would not like!

Not a fan of Ed Rollins, but you know that. I guess this qualifies as Part 3 of the “Hey Ed Rollins, you deal with it” series.
More than not being a fan of Ed Rollins, I keep questioning why Michele Bachmann started her campaign by having Rollins attack Sarah Palin in very demeaning terms, and if it was not planned, why Bachmann did not fire Rollins on the spot.
That question becomes important because as Bachmann rises in the polls and spotlight, the process of Palinizing her by the left-blogosphere and mainstream media also is rising. The disgusting Rolling Stone article about Bachmann is tame compared to what is to follow.
Scott Johnson at Power Line Blog, linking to a cover article at The Weekly Standard about Bachmann, makes a point I have been asking here for years every time an establishment Republican or Republican know-it-all lashes out at Palin; can anyone withstand the Palin-treatment:
Reading Continetti’s article, I wonder if anyone can withstand the treatment that Michele will elicit from the media if she emerges as a serious player in the nomination process. If anyone can, Michele might. But can anyone?
The answer is maybe, but only if we are united in defending that person.
Republicans did not uniformly defend Palin when she falsely was accused of complicity in the Arizona shooting, and establishment types like David Frum piled on Palin. We see that process of piling on almost daily among Republicans, and Rollins was just the latest and most high profile example.
Bachmann, by keeping Rollins on staff, has signaled that she is not ready for the type of unity needed to defend all Republican candidates against Palinization. Ironically, Bachmann is the candidate who needs that unity the most.
Update: If you think I am against Bachmann, you would be very wrong. In fact, I have been a consistent supporter and defender of her almost since the beginnning of this blog, including these posts:
•March 24, 2009, Phony Outrage Over “Armed and Dangerous” •March 24, 2009, Yet Another Cheap Attack On Michele Bachmann •September 26, 2009, Ghouls Preparing To Dance On Bill Sparkman’s Grave •November 1, 2009, Adirondack Doug Gets The Caribou Barbi Treatment •May 18, 2011, So Tell Me About Michele Bachmann
It is precisely because I think Bachmann has so much to offer that I am at a loss to understand her hiring of Rollins and weak response to his attack on Palin.
LOLOLOL. Your graphics are doing a real job on the PDSers.
Keep up the excellent work!
It’s a no brainer for almost everyone but predictable pathetic you.
Sarah has and is the only one to have ever had to withstand the slime and acid attacks of the communist left
The media knows this and that’s why they don’t even want her to enter. They have nothing and are relying on myth to keep her down. She is not held back by McCain this time around and would be free on her own to fight back and campaign the way she sees fit. 0bama would surely be in for it. It’s gotten to the point where it is backfiring with the emails and now they are sitting ducks waiting for Palin to come in and destroy them.
As others have said, there is no need for them to Palinize any other candidate because her election as president is the only thing that strikes fear into ALL the DC crooks.
I can't support Bachmann while Rollins is there. He represents a major threat to either her campaign or the interests of all conservatives. He's a trojan horse, and whether his presence speaks of ill to her campaign down the road or a reflection of Bachmann's true nature I'm not able to say.
I'm not falling for the "mccain or else" scenario again. It's "else" before I support a RINO again. Sometimes it's best to rebuild from ashes because you can't always salvage what's left.
BTTT
Any other Republican can COUNT on being Palinized. The template is in place. The only one likley to receive less scrutiny is Romney. But he's such an easy target, they'll go after his flip flops to get the base to stay home (not realizing most already loathe Romney).
Thanks Onyx ~ we had the best time! The guys went fishing and caught a king salmon each, we went panning for gold on a gold mine tour and really enjoyed seeing our 2 grandsons and daughters & sons-in-law!
Hope you’ve been well and keeping out of trouble!

Does not mean what you think it means. You're groping for "presumptuous," but that does not apply to Onyx.

Hi Onyx, hope you have been well!
If the chauvinist “old boys club” of the gOP keeps pulling stunts like Chris Wallace did today, nothing will keep me from voting for MB aside from Sarah entering the race.
