Are they loosing it? If they want Sarah Palin to go away and for the media to stop talking about her, maybe the media … uhhh … should stop talking about her! Looking into the political future of the GOP is like trying to see a pen cap at the bottom of a soy latte with double foam. Look, so far I like Gov. Palin. I also like a few other conservative leaders. That said, I’m going to pick up her book this week like a few... http://www.radioviceonline.com http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2387767/posts#comment Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:14:42 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2387739/posts WASHINGTON (CNN) – Fewer than three in 10 Americans think Sarah Palin's qualified to be president, according to a new national poll - the least of any of the five potential candidates included in the survey. But another woman tops that list in the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday: two-thirds of the public thinks that Secretary of State HIllary Clinton's qualified for the Oval Office. That's more than Vice President Joe Biden, who's currently next in line for the presidency. According to the poll, 28 percent of Americans say Palin is qualified to run the White House, with seven...

Aside from the questions about the campaign, she expressed her irritation with "CBS Evening News" anchor Katie Couric, or as she referred to her - "the perky one." "Now, obviously, you've why didn't you just name some books or magazines?" Winfrey asked. Palin explained that she didn't want to come off as unprofessional, but she detected an elitist vibe from Couric with the infamous question about her...

If I were heading over to London in the near future, I'd love to place a few bob on the odds of a Palin-Clinton race for the WH in 2012.

Oh yes, we are a country that loves our drama. And we are certainly a country that can, at times, be accused of going to extremes. But one thing is certain about our Palin Hate Affair – the biggest winner will be: Sarah Palin. With Palin’s public re-emergence today on Oprah, the media’s Palin Hate Affair got fully underway. Sarah is, amongst other things, a cancer of the GOP, dumb, and heck, even fodder for a musical. Newsweek sees nothing wrong with...

This news comes after a number of former staffers anonymously blasted Palin's recount of the 2008 campaign. "John McCain offered her the opportunity of a lifetime, and during the campaign it seems that, for all of her mistakes, she is searching for people to blame," an aide said last week. "We don't need to go through this again." Even as NBC reported McCain's request, they included another swipe at her book from a former campaign aide....

And for Juan Williams, who appeared on Fox News Sunday, the issue of Sarah Palin seems very personal. Juan, who is often quite reasonable for a liberal, freaks out at the mere mention of Sarah Palin's name. We're talking like vampires and crucifix kind of freak out here. Both Bill Kristol and Liz Cheney both spoke respectfully of Sarah Palin. And that proved too much for poor Juan. He lashed out and accused Bill Kristol of being "in love with her."

You decide! I knew it, you knew it … now we all know it. Chris Matthews last night discussing the Oprah/Palin interview, strangely hammers her for going after Katie Couric (which she does not) and then proceeds to not only praise her amazing political acumen, but then suggests she may implode once she gets the nomination. This bite reveals two things: his obvious crush on the girl, and what he fears most, a Palin nomination. http://www.radioviceonline.com http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2387610/posts#comment Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:03:51 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2387606/posts At 9 am ET today, Americans for Tax Reform and the Alliance for Worker Freedom will deliver a letter to both chambers of Congress and to US Attorney Channing Phillips in Washington DC, demanding a federal investigation of Andrew Stern, president of the SEIU. They will claim that Stern, who stopped registering as a federal lobbyist in 2007, has continued his lobbying efforts. They claim to have compiled evidence of Stern’s lobbying from the recently released White House visitor logs, media reports — and Stern’s own Twitter feed, in what has to be a first for the social networking service....

Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA), who pushed Barack Obama to bring Guantanamo Bay detainees to the US for criminal trials, says that criticism of the decision is “un-American”: Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) has strong words for the Republicans opposing Attorney General Eric Holder’s plan to bring five 9/11 suspects to New York City to face trial. “They see this as an opportunity to demagogue,” he said. “They will seize on any opportunity to do that, and that means they’ll even take a stand that’s un-American.”...

The left is already hard at work finding passages in Going Rogue to make fun of. On MSNBC this morning, the Morning Joe crew cited a passage mentioning hunky Todd as worthy of a Harlequin Romance, playing schmaltzy music and laughing. Take that, Harlequin readers!

If she held it in the past and no longer does, a possibility Hitchens admits, how can it be her "core conviction"?

Schieffer said he does not think Palin will ever run again, "and if she did, I don't think she would get very far." Schieffer pointed to the fact she left the Governor's office in Alasaka "because it was too much for her," and believes that will really hurt her if she runs in the Republican primaries in 2012.

Juan Williams and Bob Schieffer had best stop trying to rewrite history. Both of these guys claim either Gov. Sarah Palin left her position as governor for no reason or she could not handle the job. Both are lies. Both are liars and I’m sick of it. For those of you who refuse to actually read her resignation speech, or completely ignore what was going on in Alaska before, during and after the 2008 campaign, I guess I have to spend some time reminding you. http://www.radioviceonline.com http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2387536/posts#comment Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:38:42 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2387530/posts Why all the gang up on the new Sarah Palin book? Three video clips to peruse for you this morning. The Sunday talk shows were abuzz with Palin talk on the eve (no pun intended) of the release of the former Alaskan Governor’s new book, “Going Rogue”. Normally I would not post on this.

In portions that have been leaked in advance, and in interviews Palin has given in advance of the book's debut Tuesday, the former Alaska governor criticized senior aides to her 2008 running mate John McCain, which prompted retaliation from McCain's campaign staff — some speaking on the record, some anonymously. Of Palin's book, Steven Schmidt, McCain's chief strategist, told CBS News, "It's fiction, and it's not true." "This is Sarah Palin's turn to get even, as it were," said CBS...

She was the biggest star there that day attracting more media attention than Schwarzneggar. I talked to her, albeit very briefly, as she was leaving.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 21% of Republican voters disagree and think the 2008 vice presidential candidate does not share their values. Twenty percent (20%) are undecided. By contrast, 74% of Republicans say their party’s representatives in Congress have lost touch with GOP voters nationwide over the past several years.
