Sarah Palin unleashed a withering critique of congressional Republicans Saturday, lambasting them for not cutting spending deeper and faster, and saying the party needs to “fight like a girl.”
"We didn’t elect you just to rearrange the deck chairs on a sinking Titanic," Palin said during a rally in front of the Wisconsin statehouse in Madison. "What we need from you, GOP, is to fight." Pointing to the national champion University of Wisconsin women's hockey team, Palin said the GOP could learn from its resolve and “needs to learn how to fight like a girl."

Sure did. She had her three ring binder right there, with her son, Track's picture on the front. Think I noticed a smaller one of Trig there too.
She dove right in to the FRONT LINE. Shake em up Baby!
“...All kidding aside, I can’t think of a more pathetic example of the depths the GOP has sunk to than Lindsy...”
Well, I think it comes from trying to be all things to all people, actually.
A person (or party) that tries to be all things to all people is ultimately nothing to anyone. You either have solid-rock principles to stand upon, or you’re sand.
The GOP tried the “big tent” method - bringing in disaffected Liberals and kinda-sorta-conservatives and grudgingly “allowed” us - the real conservative backbone - to tag along, as long as we don’t make too much noise and promise to line up and vote for whatever “R” candidate they force on us (i.e., McCain/Romney/Guiliani [insert RINO du jour here]).
They’re not really all that different from the Rats at the end of the day - that’s why they HAAAAAAAAAAAAATE the Tea Party. We’re the real effing deal, and we’re forcing the “Good Ol’ Boy” network to put up or shut up.
We either take back that party, and along with it, our Country, or we go down the tubes and wind up in the history book as just another failed experiment - another group of upstart, stupid peasants who thought they could escape, with the modern version of our Liberal Fuedal Gestapo Lords laughing at us and pissing on our graves. That’s where it stands right now.
And we need to use ANY and ALL Constitutional means necessary to do so.
Like Barry Goldwater said a long long time ago: “Extremism in the Defense of liberty is no vice, and moderation in the pursuit of justice is NOT a virtue.”
Yes, Norm, I too have a lot of respect for the solid Trent Franks.
Couldn’t agree more.
Back around 97-2001 I did a lot of writing/work in the 4x4/land use world. One would ‘think’ that you couldn’t find a more ‘conservative’ group outside of the Reagan Library. One would be very wrong.
So many were willing to ‘compromise’ with the Sierra Club and other ECO groups it was scary. You couldn’t make them understand simple concepts like “If you give up half your given riding area today, they will just come back in a year and demand another half, over and over.”
Of course, the result is that 10 years later, most of the areas are shut down and the same people still want to compromise.
Any person calling himself a conservative NEEDS to buy a copy of Sun Tzu’s Art of War and “The 48 Laws of Power” by Robert Greene and study them.
THAT is how we win.
An excellent speech. I love Palin, and have since advocating for her on this site to be chosen as McStain’s running mate.
She’s only got one weakness. I do wish her speaking voice was better. Her politics are wonderful but in watching the speech, too often she sounded screechy and that’s a real shame.
It does make a difference to some people, and some of those people do vote.
From the point of view of pure red meat, the speech was excellent. She gets national media coverage whenever she wants it and she drives the left insane. She’s the total package — except in one area. I hope it does not cost her, if she does decide to run.
Well, he did change. He wasn’t always like that, in my opinion. But something pushed him over the edge and he couldn’t just let it alone.
Sometimes you have to step away from the keyboard.
That is precisely why I admire her. She hasn’t hesitated to swing back at them.
I like what Trump is doing...he just isn’t conservative, and he isn’t what the country needs.
Anyone truly concerned about our country wouldn’t give a flip if she stuttered! She’s the man for the job, IMO.
RE Sun Tzu: Read it. Musashi’s “Book of Five Rings” is also good.
Read “Unintended Consequences” too. ‘Nuff said.
RE Trump:
I hears ya....the only problem comes down to this - if he’s “the one” we wind up with to go against the Fraud, what then?
Do you have any idea how many Union goons were trying to drown out her speech?
Sarah had to yell to be heard.
If “the voice thing” is the extent of your dedication to Conservatism..
I doubt your seriousness.
Maybe you just don’t like women who are strong.
PS this is directed at the original poster DAC 21 .. not you Bradthebuilder
See my post #192.
By the way That word would be “lose”..
Sarah is anything but “loose”
Thanks, I’ll check them out. If you haven’t read 48 Laws, it’s Machiavellian as hell, but the way he goes about making his case is brilliant.AND he proves all his assertions/points definitively.
I have bought it 3 times, loan it out and never get it back ;) Gotta get it again soon.
“If you give up half your given riding area today, they will just come back in a year and demand another half, over and over.”
%%%%%%
I keep seeing the mental image of a team tug-of-war: Dems vs GOP. Every time the GOP lose a bit of ground, the dems call for a new midline, until the rope and all the tuggers are way over on the left. I can’t get that image out of my mind.
Maybe Sarah Palin can rally the team not to give in one inch!
I hope she just rips the rope out of their hands, ties them up with and drops them off a cliff somewhere. ;)
The Democrats that is ;)
Thanks OrangeHoof.
Sarah pingers.
have you wondered where the Obama dog has been???
did they get rid of him???
something strange there........
