Well, what specifically do you have against Christie? I’ve already told you I don’t consider him a total conservative, but you can’t deny that he’s cute.

There are better people to hate Paleo.

Incredible ain’t it?

Palin gets accused of killing people and when she defends herself she gets accused of defending herself.

And almost no one in her own party really comes to her aid, AFTER she got some of them elected—

AND she has to listen to criticism from garbage like Chris Christie who has never done a damn thing in his life but shove down the home fries and spew prattle on TV about how great a mosque would be at Ground Zero.

Next time, third party.

No conservative or Republican believes much of anything Ron Reagan writes or says. He’s a non-entity.

Excellent post. Our war on RINOS accelerates to full tilt.


Thanks but we’re doomed. The next Republian nominee is almost sure to be from the Gerry Ford/Bob Dole/John McCain wing of the party and will win, maybe, 6 states against Comrade Obamsky.

Democrats should never be allowed to own a guy of any kind. Only responsible citizens should own guns and Democrats are clearly not responsible citizens who take responsibility for their actions.

Wonder if Palin is thinking the same thing? What has the Repubs done for her, certainly not cover her back.

The attacks and criticism by the Fox panel members leave out the fact that Sarah Palin has been receiving death threats against her and her family over the incident in Tuscon. Her blood libel remarks are spot on. The MSM and the Dems are inciting people to commit violence against her and her family.

FOX Sunday news, Wallace asks Christie about his praise for obama’s speech at the memorial service, but then criticizes Palin for her video. Christie says it wasn’t criticism, merely an observation. Says you learn a lot about people in their unscripted moments. Wallace plays an “unscripted moment” of Christie in his response to a teacher where he tells her she doesn’t have to be a teacher if she doesn’t like how she’s being compensated.

Christie says that wasn’t being uncivil, it was being straight. Describes how we’ve become so PC; we try to figure out how NOT to answer a question.

The Round table roundly criticizing Palin for not allowing her allies in the media to defend her, what allies?

I guess that would be the same allies who defended her for resigning as governor. (Rolling eyes as a demonstration of righteous indignation in hopes it won't be deemed a vitriolic outburst by the MSM.)

Wallace, FOX Sunday, shows a poll where Christie beats obama in a poll, 43 to 40%, if he ran for president. Christie says he’s not running.....says he’s not ready to be president, not enough experience yet. Says you don’t run for a position just because the opportunity is there at the time, you should be ready for that position.

Amanpour’s agenda was to show that the President’s message resonated in Tucson. Look how well everyone sang Kumbaya.

She’s stuck with her bullship story now with no way to extricate herself.

I gotta agree with PBob on this one. Christie is still dangerous nationally, as he demonstrates with his regular digs at Palin. The conservative honeymoon with Scott Brown was much more brief than it’s been with Christie.

He’s entertaining, for sure, but he really hasn’t done any hard cutting in NJ. It’s standard Northeast RINO mayor/guv fare to wrestle for more control on education and demagogue the issue without ever really getting much done. (See Giuliani, Bloomberg.)

He’s dreadful on immigration, gun control and actually cutting the role of government, IMO—however entertaining his bluster.

Exactly, there was thread on here yesterday noting the change and those were my comments exactly. Until we see who they are we keep donating to individual candidates.

As far as I am concerned the RNC can join us or we will make our own way.

NYT finds someone to excuse the outburst of Fuller to the shooting. Simply IGNORING the fact that he caused a disruption with a Marine BEFORE the shooting.

He had to be separated by Giffords’ staffer Zimmerman who was murdered.

We may never get all the detail from this Justice Department.

Below is a link to my photobucket album that has the videos of this past Monday’s Sussex GOP meeting. Where we fight the good fight down here in the swamps.

Maybe you got better things to do with your life than watch videos of a bunch of yahoos but folks, I had to run like the dickens to get these tapes because they were going to take my camera! My husband said they couldn’t do that, that my videotaping was perfectly legal but they said I was breaking the law. I got home and uploaded it right away.

http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b323/patfish/delaware/Parliament%20Sussex%20GOP%20Mtg%201%2010%2011/

Might be worth the bother to see how damn mad we are down here in the swamps.

Anyway, Ron Sams is the head of the Sussex GOP. Great guy and I spent many an afternoon talking for hours, about politics, natch, in the Georgetown, Del GOP office where I volunteered. That was quite the job for me and it’s where I met Mike Castle and could talk the ear off of everybody who dropped in.

Only Ron, hey, he went over to the dark side or something. His wife fell down and had a major brain injury right about the time when my husband was recovering from a brain infection. They were both in the same hospital upstate and I corresponded with Ron, telling him about brains and such, what little I knew.

Now as for Don Ayotte. I “met” him online, at the local Blog site Delawarepolitics.net. Turns out he lives near me but I never knew the guy. He’s a journalist and now writes regularly for Redstate.com. He’s also a writer for Delawarepolitics.net and I, hey, go with me here, but I always had something to say, know that’s hard to believe.

I NEVER, not ever, not NEVER, post on any Blog site or web site although I’ve had plenty of offers, once wrote for Blogcritics. It never lasts. I WILL NOT BE EDITED.

Of course this pretty much confines me to Facebook, where I do have quite a following, including every elected official in Sussex county, but I’m okay with that. You pay a price for your independence.

But like I post for this site, it’s how I do on others. Just me, my big mouthed independent self.

One day Don puts up a post on Delawarepolitics.net on me, it was great. He said he thought I was a true patriot, a wonderful writer, someone he admired.

I was very surprised and pleased, well who wouldn’t be?

So at the meeting this past Monday, remember Don is the fellow who put himself up to replace Tom Ross and so made that stupid “parliamentarian” mad. So this fellow comes up and right next to me, I’m not making this up, is an empty chair. The guy says “Can I sit here?”

I knew it was Don because, well he was all shouting and carrying on earlier in the evening but I also knew that Don didn’t know me. As he sat down I debated introducing myself.

I kind of consider myself a scribe of the people, if I should be so bold. My Facebook page is quite big and I like it that I can call people assholes and not be edited. I don’t really care to much for a lot of attention but, heh, shit happens.

So as Don sits down I lean over and say “Don?” “Yes” he responds. I take my name tag and turn it so he can see my name “PAT FISH”.

Right in the middle of the meeting he shouts....PAT FISH???!!!???

I smile.

He stands up and pulls me up to him and gives me the biggest hug, right in front of everybody at the meeting, well damn, it was kind of great and a bit embarrassing.

“You are the only writer in the world better than me,” he shouts out and Ron Sams is up front...dag, last month Ron Sams wouldn’t leave my side at the Christmas GOP meeting, I think trying to get on my good side cause I got a keyboard and they all read it.

And of course I’m a better writer than Don but he does ok.

Ron’s up front conducting this meeting, folks I’m not making this up....and he pounds the gavel and tells me and Don to get a room....

....anyway, it’s a story....heh.

I did post the story of the meeting on my Facebook and I’m now a member of this Sussex Conservative Coalition Caucus but you know what? I’m not going to any meetings because...

...all I wanna be is the scribe.

Ron Reagan has been out of the loop a long time and maybe needs some money. He’s always been a jerk, but it’s a new level to write a book dissing his father.

And, probably a few pathetic leftists will buy this crap.

Well, that poll Wallace showed was worthless. I didn’t see all of Christie, just the part where he was questioned about a presidential run.

I did think he got in a little jab at Palin when he said he didn’t think 2 years as governor qualified him for the presidency. Oh, yeah.

My respect for him lessens if he disses Palin.

FOX Sunday, interview with Gov. Pawlenty talks about 75 cent increase in cigarette taxes - refers to it as a “health impact fee”. Pawlenty says this tax was the least harmful to economic growth (plus eeevvvviiiiillll smokers are a minority that the majority can get more money from).

Which explains why Christie wasn’t against the Ground Zero mosque.

He’s worthless. All his bluster hasn’t lowered property taxes one dime. In fact the opposite is true. He’ll have the same success as Obamacare.

He’s also participating in a cap and trade scam.

It's amazing how easily the dems can establish a meme with the media. After 2 years of unrelenting vitriol against republicans reported with a straight face, the DNC says we must now have civility and that word is the first one out of every MSM interviewer.

Reminds me of September 2000 and the word Gravitas. Haven't heard that word since.

Christie talks a good game but there has been NO change in our tax structure, other than a small increase.

He cut school funding and forced the schools to use their surplus THIS YEAR.

As with Obamacare, the pain will be in the future.
