More like the NeoCon getting Teabagged party. This cult of personality adulation of GWB and then Palin gave us Zero.
God I hate that word NeoCon. As soon as that word is spewed forth I already know where that person belongs who said it. And it’s not here.

You could not be more wrong. Palin came into the picture in late August of 2008. If anyone was to blame, it was McCain, aided by the MSM and infighting amongst Republicans, not to mention Huckabee's stealth campaign.
You are dead wrong, FRiend. Zero's ascent was locked in with the nomination of McCain. Conservatives were going to sit on their hands or cast their vote not for McCain but rather against Obama.
Then came the announcement of Sarah for VP. The sea change was palpable! There was finally HOPE. Hope that Sarah could bring McCain back to the right, to be the sane voice of Conservatism in a McCain administration. Wallets opened spontaneously. Conservatives came back to the phone banks, to the neighborhood walks. Be in any local party HQ and what you heard was "I'm here because of Sarah." I was one of them and that's my testimony.
Too much hope to place on one person? Be cautious not to make this a cult of personality? Yes. But the excitement Sarah brings is not in how she says it but what she says. That is a world of difference.
No, Sarah did not give us Zero, she stopped him from claiming the "mandate" of a 50 state sweep that would have made the McGovern defeat look like a squeaker.

The sit at home and third party loons gave us Obama.
