I know many folks are a bit tired of me going after Ron Paul, so, how about some Sarah Palin bashing instead? Via Hot Air comes this quote
“As for Michelle Bachmann. She has a lot to offer, also, but I don’t think it is her time this go around. And I believe that unless she, too, wants to spend her own money or borrowing money and perhaps go into debt. Which heaven forbid, you do that to your family? Perhaps she is one, too, who would start saying ‘supporters of mine, why don’t we coalesce around one of the other candidates and let’s move together as a team to get that right primary candidate chosen?’
Really, Palin should just mind her own business, considering she didn’t have the fortitude to jump in herself after all the teasing post quitting the Alaska governorship …. but, you’ve heard me complain before, how about reading John Zeigler, who calls Palin selfish, hypocritical, and a sellout
As surreal as it may be, after spending over two years and several thousand dollars defending Sarah Palin at great personal cost, I now find myself in the bizarre position (three years to the day from starting the journey to Wasilla to do the interview of record on her 2008 VP run) of being perhaps the only conservative commentator willing to point out that Palin has now clearly revealed herself to be a selfish, hypocritical, sellout.
You aren’t the only one, John: I blowing a gasket over her unwillingness to announce, then bat guano crazy when she finally said “nope, not doing it.”
Anyhow, make sure to read the entire article, as well as check out Legal Insurrection on some background about Palin vs Bachmann. Palin needs to go away. I admit, she made chumps of us all, which pisses me off.
I think what most people don’t realize is that Sarah Palin was able to bleed Fox for a ton of money and continue to receive protection as being a part of the press therefore no one on the press would go after her.
Amazingly when she signed with Fox the entire MSM just DROPPED coverage of her….its what the press does for the press.
This is why she bled this so long……after what she went through I can hardly imagine her EVER running for anything….ever again.
She is the most relevant among the GOPs…. In u want her to go away, why you keep on writing about her?
After Bachman’s total failure in Iowa, Palin looks a lot more prescient than anything else.
She did a great thing for the 2010 midterms, Ron. She was a genuine force at the time. Then she decided to play this game of “will she/won’t she” and finally dropped out at pretty much the last second. She lost all respect from me and many others at that point.
She may look prescient, David, but, then, Palin isn’t actually out there competing herself, is she?
