Well
I was-——disappointed in Palin
But someone needs to step up and fast
Revolution is in the air
I hope she can smell it
Ron Paul and his gaggle of surrender monkeys are indeed believers. They are true believers in a weak America, a castrated military, appeasing the evildoers and a triumphant Iran.
Thankfully Ron Paul is irrelevant. A resurgent Newt Gingrich knows how to deal with our enemies: KILL THEM!
Go Newt GO!
All I can say is the South needs to start negotiating its own contracts again, and tell the Northeast to FUMR.
I want out of this Union.
“Tea Party members: shut up and get behind the former liberal governor of Massachusetts. Conservative movement, cool it. So what if our nominee was the godfather of ObamaCare?”
Whew!
I love Sarah.
I had to look up the French phrase in order to understand the article a little better.
This is a set phrase, attributed to King Louis XV or Madame Du Pompadour (aka Jeanne Antoinette Poisson), that is used to denigrate the attitude of someone who acts irresponsibly, without worrying on the consequences that his/her acts could have. Something like: “I don’t care what happens next, I’ll be gone”, “The world could collapse after I’m gone, no big deal”.
On the one hand, if we understand, “After me the deluge,” will come, the saying seems to imply, as an assertive affirmation: “After my reign, the nation will be plunged into chaos and destruction.”
Just to note that I think that’s the way it was meant, and that it had some prophetic quality about it, even though today people who use it usually mean “I don’t give a damn about what happens when I’m gone”.
Maybe it will be clearer with an example: Mr Filthy goes for a trip in the mountains and leaves all his garbage, empty cans and cigarette butts behind, disseminated amongst the lovely pine trees and frolicking chamois, because, well, why would he give a damn? He won’t be there to see the damage; besides, doesn’t everybody do that anyway?
Someone witnessing this could say that “Après moi le déluge” is Mr Filthy’s motto.
Maybe some native French-speaking FReepers can chime in?

The last thing the RNC elites want is for Ron Paul to go away. He is very effectively splitting the “non-Romney” Tea Party vote and they know in the end he can’t win.
And Dr. Paul will tell them to go pee up a rope, he’s sure not getting any party money and lives for the opportunity to poke a stick in their eye.
Palin’s like the quarterback that showed great promise, but sustained an injury and is out for the season. Every time I see her I wish for what might have been, but is not.
"Why do I suspect we may soon be hearing the distant drum of a very smart lady who knows exactly what is happening, who can do the math that I suggest here, who may soon emerge with fists flying from a town called Wasilla?"
I see no discernible differences betwixt Mitt and Barry, so it matters not whit to me which one of them is elected.
The “establishment”, who Fox news says doesn’t exist, is made up of elites from both parties. They share power and love the jet setting life they live. And they don’t want you to come along and mess it up. The sooner we realize this, the sooner a real conservative party can be born.
I’m disappointed with Palin supporting Newt. Newt can’t be trusted. He is no conservative. He maybe better than Romney, but only slightly. The only real choices are Sanctorum or Ron Paul
I saw the county by county map. It is the folks most susceptible to being influenced by big TV AD campaigns (Romney’s was huge!) that overwhelmed the vote.
The comfortably retired who were trained there whole lifetime to respond to and go along with TV AD’s — from childhood to their senility. The passive generation.
I do payback by simply putting the GOP/Repbulican elites on mental ignore.
