The Battle for the Republican Party

A recent poll confirms what we conservatives have known for some time; we want Sarah. This scares Republicans and Democrats alike; yet for diametrical different causes. The GOP fears Palin for what she is and represents. Governor Palin is a conservative, not a milquetoast, knee wobbly Republican with wetted finger always in the air. No, she is a dyed in the wool, self made giant killer. Just ask the Republican machine in Alaska. She not only took on the corrupt GOP machine in Alaska, she sent a lot of Republicans to jail. She doesn’t play ball, she doesn’t go along to get along. This scares the hell out of the RNC and is evident by the Republican senate majority leader in Juno. With a stroke of her pen the majority leader could have ended the senate investigation into, “trooper gate” faster than Obama can hide his birth certificate. She encouraged the investigation because she is still part of the dismantled Republican machine in Juno. And, she holds a grudge.
Conversely, Democrats fear Palin because in her they see Reagan. They see a confident, affable, straight talker that they know will resonate with the American people. This is why she must be destroyed; and, make no mistake; they will attempt to do so. Just as soon as the Obamagasm wears off.
For you conspiracy kooks out there who remain convinced that the CIA killed Kennedy and Sarah Palin hurt the McCain campaign it’s probably time to get off the smoke-able herbs and cactus flowers. I’m just saying.
To the time machine Mr. Wizard! {Back to August 2007} There was as much enthusiasm for John McCain in the Republican Party as there is for cold gruel in an orphanage. Let’s face it; McCain has the personality of cardboard. Oh, and there was that amnesty thing, the gang of fourteen, McCain Feingold, his opposition to tax cuts and a bad comb-over.
Palin on the ticket ensured he wouldn’t lose by double digits. If we are to be pragmatic we would admit this election was almost certain to sway Democrat. Americans were war weary, the economy tanked, the media swooned and Brittney shaved her head. Comparatively it’s somewhat of a miracle Obama didn’t win all fifty-seven states.
It’s probably too early to be putting up your Palin for President Yard signs, “at least wait until Obama is inaugurated” but a recent poll suggests she is the darling of the GOP and an ever omnipresent force in the political arena. We will see. What we know is this; there is a battle for the soul of the Republican Party. It’s the Christians and Lions all over again. Except this time the Lions are conservatives.
