They are all ones to watch tomorrow.
I know she's endorsed Sean Duffy in WI and Murphy in MD. I think she's endorsed Gomez in NY as well. Can't say on the others.
holy cow. have we all agreed that Todd Palin is one lucky guy? what a smile!
I am certain Thatcher whispered a few choice suggestions to Palin when she visited...and that eagerly accepted. Thatcher knew how to take them down and the funny thing is they generally didn’t realize she was doing so until it was too late! Her humor oftentimes thru them off balance and when coupled with her feminine side....they were done before they had a chance to figure out what happened. She knew well how to throw her enemies off balance.
That is the A team. (though I think Cuccinelli would make a great Attorney General).
That whole list I posted Sarah endorsed. It got the list from Josh’s site.
Ok thanks.
Last time I saw this level of hostility was when Rush went after Karen from Whitefish Montana. I wonder if he ever called her to apologize for being the southern end of a north bound horse. especially since she has been proven 100% correct about the GOP and he was 100% wrong.
It was the beginning of the end for him and me, and I had been listening since a month after he went national.
“Rush: Ever see Republicans fight Democrats the way they fight Palin, Christine O’Donnell or Angle?”
Which is exactly why those RINO buttmunches have to go.
I like Kraut but sometimes his elitism creeps out.
Don’t think so (bad picture) or you can bet the NY Times would have it on the front page and Time would have it on the cover.
I listen to Rush all the time, but I don’t remember the incident to which you refer with this Karen.
One of the things I like about Rush is that he is universally pleasant and polite to callers even rude, nutty ones.
Kraut ACTUALLY said that Castle would be a certain Senate pick up for Republicans. O’Donnell is a long shot at best to win in the general election. He said Delaware is not Alaska. If you lived in this area you would know what he means. He said that if Republican lose this seat possibly the 51st it will enable Obama to pass everything he wants. A huge political blunder.
I agree with him.
We need 51 seats and control of committees.
It was in my mind an infamous moment, perhaps the only time I’ve ever heard him be genuinely mean to a caller. He really gave it to her in the neck.
Was probably in the mid-90’s. Many around here remember it well, as do many of my friends who listen.
interestingly, FR archives no longer have the transcript of this call.
And it's not just the democrats, but some on our side as well. I don't dispute the blogger's assertion that the left and some on our side's obsession with Sarah is due to status anxiety. But the blogger doesn't get to the root of the problem: their sexism. That is, that such status anxiety is a manifestation of a sexist problem. So the core of the problem is rooted in their sexism, which leads them to their status anxiety. These individuals, mostly men, feel threatened of being displaced in the hierarchy of society by a woman, and some women have a problem accepting another woman as a political leader as well.
Notice how the attacks by these individuals aren't simply directed at i.e Sarah Palin's, Nikki Haley's, Christine O'Donnell, and Sharron Angle's policies, but rather are pointed at their sexual nature: sexualizing them and diminishing them by depicting them as sexual objects, sluts, and bimbos (as they call them). They hardly ever discuss them in term of their policies but rather made up stories, 1/2 truths, and lots of sexual innuendo about them in an effort to minimize them and their impact. Unfortunately, this animus has taken not just the crazy leftists but includes some of our own, self-described conservatives.
However, those who are secure in their manhood or womanhood don't have a problem with a politician that happens to be a woman and a leader, so any discussion and analysis is directed at their politics, policies, and issues instead of their sex.
Wow, Victoria, another thoughtful well written post. I am glad you included women because we see evidence of women hating Sarah right here on this ‘conservative’ forum, and in some cases, they’re as vicious as some of the most vicious men, or should I say males? I’ve often wondered what’s behind that hatred for Sarah and I think you, Rush and this writer have pretty much explained it.
I am disgusted with those who lustfully comment on Sarah’s looks, etc. Even if one doesn’t respect her for her politics, she is a married woman and should be treated accordingly.
And yes, those women can be as vicious (or even more vicious) than their male counterparts. It all comes down to a deep insecurity which translates into a hostility towards another female.
I think I'd like to replace Dr Laura for a bit, but for now I'm going to bed. LOL. Nighty night.
I agree with you.
