Too bad. Conservative support has always been conditional, and requires upholding conservative positions. If you want to have political celebrities to fawn over regardless of their behavior go over to the left.

Seems we are witnessing the coming next installment of the dismemberment of a well-intentioned, God-centered conservative, ala George Bush.
He will be off the scene soon...the ravenous vultures have picked his bones unmercifully ( Everything wrong in every life on earth is Bush's fault) in an 8 year temper tanrum over the 2000 Florida vote.
Can you IMAGINE, if Obama loses, how they will behave toward Vice President Sarah Palin as the iconic representation in snatching the presidency away from the first black??
The left--and the media-- will give her no berth of acceptance, no willingness to listen, they will try to destroy her very essence--just as they have done Bush ( he who has kept us safe for 7 years).
This situation is hard to process.

Hating Sarah Partisanship at its worst.
By Rich Lowry
St. Paul — Sarah Palin works fast. She instantly became the object of the kind of partisan hatred that most politicians can raise only after prosecuting an unpopular war and lying about their misconduct in office (Nixon), after making sanctimonious dishonesty an art form and getting caught in flagrante with an intern (Clinton), and after winning a disputed election and botching a foreign occupation (Bush). Palin-hatred is an artifact of who she is rather than anything she’s done. Joe Biden famously rose from the working class to the U.S. Senate. Palin became governor of Alaska, but never left the working class — with her old-fashioned beehive hairdo and librarian eyeglasses, with a husband who is a commercial fisherman and works on a North Shore oil field, and with her hobbies of fishing and hunting.

Try this one. Its a funny video based on Lion King about the media and left wing blogs going after Palin.
Over 3,000 views since last night!
And here all this time I thought it was LBJ who got us into that war and Nixon who got us out of it (responsibly, not cut and run style, although Congress took care of that once Watergate was going on).
Sorry for changing topics. Couldn't help it.
I think this is a very good point.
I feel more positive toward President Bush today than when he was first elected in 2000. But I have been angered as I watched conservatives turned their back on him over time.
I fear the same thing will happen to Sarah Palin. She will win but she will be more hated and attacked than either Cheney or Bush.
Will conservatives bail on her?
Check your favorite conservative cop out:
— she didn’t defend us
— she didn’t fight back
— she didn’t get her story out
— she did not agree with me on my pet issue
Palin does not deserve to be destroyed. Say what you will about liberals, they seem more willing to protect their own than we are.
Had conservatives not bailed on Bush, the silly anti logic of Obama would have even less traction than it presently does.
Rest assured, the long knives will grow longer for Palin once she is elected. I hope conservatives are prepared to stand by her.
Gee maybe the politicians and operatives on our side ought to loudly fight this stuff instead of sitting quietly while it happens or trying to deal with it like genteel ladies and gentlemen.
A call in to talk with Rush here, a couple radio and TV interviews with Hannity there, some time on Laura Ingraham and even some Mark Levin and millions will hear her. Maybe even a visit to FOX News Sunday Morning. Even the “haters” listen to those programs.
Pray that God would sustain Sarah Palin and her family and keep them steadfast and strong.
What I see is each column in a paper, news outlet, commentator etc chooses a different subject about Palin and rants on and on. No doubt this was worked out with ABC and Charlie. They will keep going until the polls reflect Obama ahead again. It worked with Bush and Cheney and they know this will work too.
I hate that Republicans are the party of no backbone, also called the stupid party.
Exactly!!
We can laugh at all this crazy hate directed at Sarah, but she needs to be strongly defended by us in the media, and by other Republicans in the media, or else we will slowly see Sarah be turned into a villian in the publics mind.
I am old enough to remember the virulent media attacks on Richard Nixon.
Louis Farrakhan has already made the statement that if Obama loses and Blacks feel it wasn’t fair, there will be massive riots and destruction.
Too bad. Conservative support has always been conditional, and requires upholding conservative positions. If you want to have political celebrities to fawn over regardless of their behavior go over to the left.
And look what happened to Nixon. This is why the left keeps doing it...it works.
We must call our Republican leaders and tell them to FIGHT for Sarah and not sit on their arses. Like that Huckabee person poo pooing the lipstick on a pig remark on Hannity the other day. Republicans are DUMB and scared to be strong.
We must be vigilant and not to allow this to happen to Sarah, or else we are doomed.
Your link doesn’t work
George W. Bush “conservative”?
Wellll.....
I will stand by her to the very gates of Hell.
You should respect what President Bush has done in the WOT. He stood tall when it would have been oh so easy to fold like the rest of the cowards in Congress. President Bush has not been perfect but President Bush has been a man of his word and this conservative admires that.
Sorry guys, I cut the N off the end of the address
Here is the “Lie-ing king” vid
