No politician has ever been relentlessly personally attacked to the extent that Sarah Palin has been subjected to. No politicians family has ever been attacked to the extent that Sarah Palins family has including 8 year old girls 14 year old girls and special needs infants. She has $500,000 in lawyers bills from defending total abuse of the "ethics" system. Every charge thrown out proving its nothing but meanness that is fueling the jihad against her.

And for what? For why? And what kind of political party condones what the Democrats have tolerated, allowed, condoned, funded ,and done to her.

What did she ever do to warrant the merciless demonizing? Think about it.

Well what Ronald Reagan taught us is that the bigger the threat, the more one can expect such treatment.

Ronald Reagan rose to power mainly by going all around the country stumping for others running for office. Sarah Palin is now free to do that. Thats my guess.

I think the Democrats are going to find out that this politics of personal destruction tactic they increasingly rely on has unintended consequences.

Thats the whole idea Miltie.They poison with their attacks until the normal people just want "the problem" to go away. It only goes away until the left finds another threat.

Just imagine the level of outrage if anyone writer, TV commentator, commedian, or editorial writer ever made the sdame kind of jokes about the children or wife of Barak Obama.

Tell me another losing side VP candidate that you have ever seen continuous unending attacks on the family like this.

[[[The reason I'm not going to miss her is that she represents exactly the opposite direction I'd like the GOP to go. I want the party of Goldwater to come back, and the Dixiecrats who've taken over (read Palin) to exit softly into the good night. ]]

So Sarah Palin is a racist closet Democrat? OMG. This conclusion is positively bizarre but thats the degree to which the smear campaign has perhaps clouded thinking around here.

[[[Now it's completely probable that the GOP is unelectable if it's just the ethical party of small gov't, small business, laissez faire economics, personal and economic freedom, the Constitution, law and order and not also the goddamn family values culture war people.]]]

You think the whole list of things you mention get done WITHOUT family values? You think the Orwellian Kubbutz is going to augur for smaller government and Laissez Faire Economics?

[[[You and others on the right are always whining that Obama is nothing more than a great speaker, which he is (and not much more IMHO), but what is Palin really, other than the woman who gave McCain a big bump with her nomination speach at the convention. She was also a great speaker. Unlike Obama, she didn't do so well off script, and unfortunately, had too many skeletons in her closet. It's sad that you have to appear a saint to be a pol these days, but them's the breaks. ]]]

Miltie, could you perhaps get at least something right in your comments? Obama is not a great speaker in spite of all the praise he gets. He'd make a good DJ because of his voice but the praise of his vaunted eloquience is betrayed by his stuttering nonsense whenever hes without the teleprompter. His verbal gaffe number is growing exponentially including a few beauties on this last trip to Russia. Nothing he says is anything other than a bunch of soundbites that lack any substance in content. And your comment about sarah palins not doing wll off script is utterly ridiculous since HER teleprompter went out at the convention and she gave a speech for the ages from memory. Even those who would later wratchet up the hate to get her said that speech was excellent. So excellent that they went into full fabrication mode to try to get her.

[[[Just as every business, family and local economy is purging the fat, so too does the GOP need to get back to its core competency - which right now seems to be the loyal opposition to socialism - and stop behaving as drunken democrats with comped rooms at a Vegas junket.]]]

The spending phase of the Republican party ended in 2006 when the Democrats took over both houses of congress.

[[[Unfortunately, the only national Republican who seems to have the chops right now, and mainly by attrition, seems to be Mitt Romney, who gives me the heeby geebies. If by some miracle, Tom Campbell wins both the GOP nomination and then the actual election, well, there, maybe there's a chance of a GOP Resurection that I'd be happy with. Otherwise, I'll just have to hold my nose and allow the national debt to be the only force to limit gov't spending.]]]

I can only surmise that you , like many other "moderates" have learned nothing from losing both houses of Congress. Its because of the RINOs. Meanwhile every place Sarah Palin went she drew packed crowds that literally put John McCain ahead of Obama in the polls until the fabricated financial meltdown orchestrated by Obamas "donation bundlers" at Goldman Sachs happened. My guess is that you will be among the "surprised" at what happens between now and 2012.

[[[California is going down the toilet, and you want to the USA to go down the toilet just like this state.]]]

Westside this may come as a shock to you but before Liberals got total control of the State Government the State WAS the jewel of progress in this country. The envy of the world. When George Dukmejian was Governor and before.So dont confuse the recent 3rd world country impersonation we have been doing ever since the Democrats lost all sense of where money actually comes from.

It never ceases to amaze me how liberals cant do 1st grade math.You know 2 plus 2 equals 4.They see no connection between their unending lust for other peoples money and wealth for the purpose of bribing ignorant voters so they can stay in power, and how that same propensity has always ended up bankrupting the place its been re-attempted. Even weirder,how all the programs they want to have get MORE money when they keep tax rates low, but they always choose to interpret their getting more money to spend with "greed" of those they want to milk harder. So when the cows flee, and they have LESS money to spend, they hold it against the cows for fleeing instead of enjoying their increased milking. I would swear you would make an excellent African dictator with that mindset.

Fortunately you provide some text book examples of your er....logic:

[[You're happy that California will have no welfare, because if you fall through the cracks it's all your fault anyway.]]

Ill try to make a complex subject simple. Who let the 15 million illegals in? (Ted kennedy immigration bill when Democrats controlled bOTH houses in congress in 1964. The ones now needing welfare. Which private prep school did all those poor go to to end up NOT having remedial writing reading and lmath skills and thereby ending up unemployed? Ans. NEA run public schools that resits any and all efforts to actually TEACH. The ones who fight to prevent accountability. The ones who work the equivalent 5 months out of the year but retire at age 60 with three times social security income. You see Westside. the reason people are unemployed is (a) they arent educated and (b) liberals mandate that the cost to hiring the uneducated is prohibitive so thousands of jobs they COULD have are never created.

[[[You're happy that the poor would be left without health care, because health care is a priveledge.]]]

Huge mischaracterization. The poor are BY LAW able to get health care. Ask any homelss person who racks up $200,000 a year in outreach.Laws force hospitals to pay for all needed health care. Thats why Hospitals have and are going broke.

[[[You're fine with no state parks, because there will still be private reserves for the deserving rich.]]]

Whwn you expand the acreage of Government owned land by ten fold since just 1980, are you surprised oit costs money? the Government owns 90% of the state of Nevada. What is enough to you? Oh, you mean if I own something I have to pay for its maintennance and upkeep? What a revelation, huh?

[[[You're fine that California will have to decimate the greatest public university system in the world, because education should be completely private and the very existence of public universities which give the undeserving poor an opportunity, is like an ugly boil on the body of your neoliberal paradise.]]]

You mean the University system that has more classes in anti-American ideology than in general job skill training?

[[[[There won't even be a poison control center, but that's OK... let 'em die. ]]]

Better to keep those cops on OT for "Healthy Saturdays" isnt it? heres a concept for you Westside. P-r-i-o-i-t-i-e-s. Now who decides these things here? Liberals or Conservatives?

[[[[[But of course there should always be enough money for the police and for prisons, in case the hoi polloi gets uppity. ]]]]]

30% of our prison population is illegal aliens? You for deportation or maintennance? Imagien that cut prison costs by 30% overnight.

[[[This is the Libertarian/Economic Republican ideology -it's the ideology of cruelty and inhumanity. Questions of what is fair, what is the way to organize society in such a way that people live well -these are irrelevant to the Libertarian/Economic Republican. ]]]

Said by the person who justifies the treatment by david letterman of sarah palins kids. How do you define "cruel"? And this, then, is the problem. You dont mean cruelty as deifined by the dictionary. You select only what you want to label that way and at the same time totally accept what has always been deemed cruel. Its "cruel" to not have enough "global warming videos for the preschoolers"because of "cruel" budget slashes by non existant conservatives.But when a health care czar in Washington orders treatment curtailed or not aloowed for someone in Montana, thats "brilliantly reforming health care through savings".

[[[The only thing relevant is that taxes should be low and their private property should be defended.]]]

The simple reason why this is a true statement is that it has been proven to be the best way to get all the other things yous ay we must have. Revenues to government are GREATEST when those two things exist unfettered. Its an interesting thing that when the revenue increase under low tax rates was pointed at directly to obama he said he didnt care that it was "unfair" to have low tax rates. That my fiend is madness impersonating smart. To get what you want you have to aloow someone else to get what THEY want. But liberals dont care what any9one else wants. they just dont get that they hurt themselves by insisting on that. This is why Obama is going to be the most miserable President even one year from today as unemployment is at about 14% while he still thinks tax rates have to be increased.

[[[And... your statement also shows the extent to which democracy is thrown out the window with the Right. "Freedom" and "democracy" get lip service, but the Right shows again and again how fundamentally undemocratic it really is]]]

I know this will be a shock but (I can only surmise that in public school they didnt tell you we dont have a Democracy. We have a REPUBLIC.The diffference is significant. The only reason Democrats always want "democracy" is for the same reason African Dictators do. One man one vote one time.

[[[ -from Marcel and Ollie North's endorsement of the military coup in Honduras (a military dictatorship is preferable to a democratically-elected moderate leftist),]]]

I hate to always seem to be correcting you but labeling a process in which a President attempts to rewrite his countries constitution, has his parliament reinforce the Country;'s constitutional prohibitions agaisnt usurpation of power,a dn then ask the military to remove him (AS SPECIFIED IN THE COUNTRY"S CONSTITUTION) is NOT a coup.

[[[ to Miltie's happiness with the state of affairs in California, where a shrinking minority can hold the majority by the throat with the 2/3 budget rule.]]]

damn those horrible and stupid voters who didnt simply surrender to the unquenchable thirst for their money by Democrats. Dont they realzie their money isnt really THEIR money.They have no right to resist. Is that your position Westside?

Or let me ask it another way....when the Democrats fillibustered judicial appointments for 8 years when they were in the moinority, did you agree with that or were you angry with them for doing that as the minority?

Gotcha.

are in for a huge surprise.

Remember everything youve said about how bad it is to want "the" president to "fail". remember thats bad and horrible to do.Right?

When Sarah Palin is President in 2012.

Peggy Noonan is dancing herself to having fewer and fewer people read her columns. Shes becoming another Cindy Shehan. A tool.

They didnt get Reagan and they dont get Palin. All Peggy has done is reveal her elitism.The same elitism that keeps her from relizing shes become a tool of the libs who now invite her to more cocktail parties than they did before. She doesnt get that either.
