Between the Palin bashing and O’Donnell bashing, and comparing FR to the “Spanish Inquisition” when it comes to rinos, it isn’t surprising that you keep making digs at O’Donnell, or that you manage to work in digs at Palin while doing it.
And your point is exactly? If your accusation is that I am not particularly fond of mindless populism, even when many of the issues raised by the mindless populists are on point, then I am guilty as charged. As fun as it may be to support the populist pitchfork brigade when we are angry at elites, it doesn’t make for very good strategy or tactics, much less policy. I don’t know about many people on this board, but elections are important to me. They affect my country, my community, my business, my family and my livelihood. And when it comes to things as important as these, I like to win and hate to lose. So, it discourages me when otherwise right minded people who collectively could effect change get caught up in populist rhetoric, fall in love with hopelessly flawed candidates and engage in rank demogoguery. I’ve seen knaves and demogogues come and go in my lifetime and in the pages of history since the Athenian democracy. Believe me, it never ends well.
So go ahead and write your check to Ms. O’Donnell. It will do no harm. But, Ms. O’Donnell has done and will do more harm to this little movement of concerned citizens speaking out against the travesty that is our federal government than you can imagine, and that is a darn shame. It deserves better.
You keep sending her money, or claim to, yet you keep bad mouthing her at every chance here at freerepublic, you even work in Palin at times.
My guess is that social conservatism is something that bugs you.
