In Vanity Fair??! Say it isn’t so!
Aren’t they the same lickspittles that gushed and fawned over Joe(lyin’ POS)Wilson, and his whorish wife, Valerie Plame?
I think so.

[Names Ash Housewares]

The media just is terrified of Sarah.
Hit pieces still coming 7 months after the election!

If your not taking flak, your not over the target.

You know . . .I have to wonder how the *bleep* did McCain ever win the Repub nomination. He certainly was not my choice, and he doesn't seem to be the choice of most Freepers.

Who's in charge of the Repub party, us normal people, or some big-wigs in a backroom somewhere? I myself was initially for Fred Thompson, and I still think he'd make a good Prez (better than either candidate the Repubs or the Demos selected!). A Thompson/Palin ticket sounds good to me. I may be in the minority, but be that as it may, Reagan lost the nomination in 1976 because most Repubs can't see very far into the future (something they share with the Demos, unfortunately).

Ah, well. Sometimes the nation needs an idiot (like Carter or BO) to show us how stupid we can be sometimes.

My brother was very active for years in the RNC, working in the very top levels of local and national campaigns. When the first "anonymous" stories came out post-election slamming Palin, he told me he knew exactly where they had to have come from. He said McCain had some people running his campaign whom he had worked with before and knew them to be arrogant idiots. He said he expected them to screw up and then try to find someone else to blame it on, and that was exactly what they did with Sarah Palin. After completely botching her introduction to America, they were now using the bad image they'd let the media concoct of her as ammo for smearing her and blaming her for their own proven incompetence.

So here we go again. If they didn't blame Palin for their screw-ups, who'd be dumb enough to hire them to run another campaign? Other than McCain, that is?

[Gator113]

I’ll hold you to that promise.

God speed...

[cherry]

go for it Hildy.......you know when you can find a candidate that is somewhat reasonable...not perfect because there aren't any perfect candidates.....freeperdom will respond in some meaningful way....

as I see it....that Scottish idiot in Pa and the balless baldman in Arizona got it coming....and maybe this next election North Dakota and Montana and places such as these will see the light and throw the rats out....

[cherry]

I don't know WHAT happened that gave us McCain.....I was all for Fred....or Rudy...but would have supported Mitt.....

maybe its true that we peasants actually think we vote for the Prez but maybe the CFR and the Bilderbunch etc run the whole show...who the primaries will go for...who will win...its like a game and every knows the end result and supposed to be good sports and all...

Dole and McCain....two veterans who lets face it....laid down the election on us.....

I don’t know if you caught the post the other day, but a man wrote in that he wrote for a paper, and his daughter, when describing what he did, in school, called him a “Gerbilist”.
I think that precisely describes them.
Spread it around.

That would prevent broadsides like “sources say,” “word on the hill is,” “according to some,” “we have it on reliable word,” etc. Without such phrases, articles might end up reading like wildly arbitrary speculation, but that’s fine. That’s what they are already.

Unfortunately, headline blurbs and and mini-soundbites are the most convincing articles for the vast majority of the populace. I am astounded daily by supposedly educated people who absorb CNN and AP title bars, and are totally convinced that they are fully informed.

The downfall of this nation is that so very few people can bother themselves to examine or discuss ideas and concepts.

Simple people talk about people.
Mediocre people talk about events.
Superior people talk about ideas.

Welcome to Idiocracy.

Simple people talk about people. Mediocre people talk about events. Superior people talk about ideas.

Socialism sucks because it elevates the "rights" of the collective over the rights of the individual, in all cases.

Statism also sucks because it denies the right of the individual to make his or her own choices, giving that right to the State.

Anyone who believes in either (or both), or who collaborates with those who do, e.g., John "Obama is a decent man" McCain, therefore, sucks also.

See, I can think about ideas! :-)

[SolidWood]

Palin PING!

Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.

Freep the Poll!

[meadsjn]

That’s what I’m talking about. You done good!

[SolidWood]

reports of anonymous McCain aides describing Palin, the governor of Alaska, as a "diva" and a "whack job."

They better stay anonymous. Cowards.

"If they didn't blame Palin for their screw-ups, who'd be dumb enough to hire them to run another campaign? Other than McCain, that is?"

McCain is the screw up. He should have realized his campaign staff was riding his campaign into disaster. And when the attacks against Palin began McCain should have fought them tooth and nail.

Since the loss of his campaign, Sarah Palin has experienced a continuous barrage of media attacks. The attacks on the various Leftist Internet blogs has been even more demonic. McCain has proved that he lacks the courage to stand up for common decency. This same courage I thought he was supposed to have as a POW in Hanoi. He has failed to defend Sarah Palin even once and he even lets his daughter bad mouth the GOP. The image of McCain as an irresponsible weasel is clear. He is just a useless do-nothing loser who would be better off sitting in that rocking chair on the front porch sipping mint juleps.

Time to go McCain!

[river rat]

Little Sarah Palin simply terrorizes the Left....
They KNOW she can defeat them and undo all the damage they have wrought with the illegal president and black racist Barry Obama...

[Finalapproach29er]

McCain was ahead in the polls on Sept. 10. Palin did her job

until McCrank “suspended” his campaign.

McCain self-destructed like Perot did in 1993.

BTW: VF’s motives are transparant. We all know what your doing and why. Pitiful.

[Finalapproach29er]

oops.1992.

[personalaccts]

I wish SArah Palin would campaign against McCRap in the GOP primary.

[oblomov]

Can we stop hearing from hacks in the campaign that deliberately lost the 2008 election?
