PHOTOSHOP CHALLENGE: The Republican Lost Boys
When we were in Disney World for Gay Days last week, we rode the Peter Pan ride, and were trapped on it for a good fifteen minutes when the thing broke down – leaving us dangling over a little miniature of the island occupied by the Lost Boys. There they were, all huddled together, around a camp fire, and in their woodland animal garb we were inspired to think about the Republican Party’s own Lost Boys, those cucumber-and-mayonnaise-soggy-sandwich eating GOP born losers the Media’s been pushing for the 2012 nomination over Governor Sarah Palin.
Mitt Romney. Tim Pawlenty. John Thune. Bobby Jindal. Jon Huntsman. Mitch Daniels.
We’d love to see these guys depicted, eating their soggy sandwiches, in woodland critter inspired footy-jammies like the Lost Boys above…as we’d also like to start calling them, collectively, the GOP’s “Lost Boys”.
Little boys.
Little wimps.
Characters who can’t get the job done in 2012, with their fumbling, and bumbling, and sandwich-munching.
Governor Palin, on the other hand, will be depicted like Peter Pan in that second picture. Strong, standing tall, decisive, in charge.
American Artemis, superior to these fey bumblers in every way.
What animals should each of the Lost Boys be?
Let’s not use strong animals like the moose, the wolf, the eagle, or the grizzly, because those animals we want reserved for the Governor’s campaign motifs.
Instead, let’s put the Lost Boys into skunk, bunny, beaver, muskrat, squirrel, and other small, scurrying woodland critter jammies.
We could have an awful lot of fun with this…and could conceivably help derail these losing presidential campaigns before they even begin.

I would request, and recommend, that Bobby Jindal be removed from your list of pretenders. I believe that his many accomplishments in his still-young life should warrant more consideration than this – just my considered opinion.
Ivan
Bobby Jindal should have gone above the feds and do what he had to do.
Bobby Jindal, besides short, insignificant ugly arse, is inexperienced. Sarah Palin had to tell him what to do. But this guy keeps on waiting for the feds to help him. What a loser!
Carmelo:
You are right, just being “mad” at the Feds, which Jindal has down pat, isn’t good enough. He doesn’t have the balls to go against the Obama Admin. and this is where he is being tested.
Yes, Palin had to tell him what to do. She looks incredibly capable now in hindsight, b/c the situation has gotten alot worse.
Until I read your post, Carmelo, and that of your buddy PC, I thought this sight was populated by intelligent, thoughtful folks. I guess ignorance can find company most any where.
Ivan
Surely then there are many sites where you’ll feel more at home than this one — and if you’re lucky people there will give you occasion to try out new ad hominem attacks.
I’m sure you’ll make a brilliant impression.
Amsterdam Expat, thank you for your invitation for me to leave; I don’t thing that is what the Hillbuzz Boyz want of their guests to this site.
You, PhillCon and Carmello need to grow up. It appears that you kids are engaged in cult-like worship, much like the Obamabots.
Thank you, Tonestaple for bringing a voice of reason to this acidic thread.
Ivan
Typo correction: “think”, not “thing”.
Ivan
Ivan, you’re most welcome — depart if you will. Or at least (strange that I have to recommend this to such a beacon of intelligence and maturity as yourself) desist from commenting on other people’s remarks whose level in your view — and only in your view — is so much lower than your own.
And some further advice: please cease to argue by reaching in the first instance for ad hominem insults; then perhaps it will be credible when you call on others to be grown-ups.
Ivan,
call it “cult”, call it “Sarahbot”, the fact is that besides a beautiful woman, Sarah Palin shares my values and what I hold dear.
In the case of Obama, most of his followers knew he was a supporter of “late term abortions”, same sex marriage, and had communist and anti American ideas BUT they followed him anyways just because he was the first “black” with real possibilities to clinch the nomination and get elected president.
If Sarah Palin was pro abortion, pro same sex marriage, pro socialist welfare and health care there is no way in hell I’d support her now matter what!!
Yes, I know this is a “site”, not a “sight”.
I don’t want to come across as the typical flaming troll, so please allow me to educate Carmelo and PhillyCon, both of whom I think suffer from one-dimensionalism.
Some relevant facts about Bobby Jindal: 1) He turned 39 years young two days ago. 2) At the age of 17, he was one of 50 students nationwide admitted to the elite PLME program at Brown University, guaranteeing him a place in medical school. 3) At the age of 20, he graduated Brown, with honors in two majors, Biology and Public Policy. 3) He was accepted by both Harvard Medical School and Yale Law School, but opted to study at New College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar instead.
And this is his academic record; his professional accomplishments, if one is not too lazy for a little research, are far more impressive.
I stand by my original post.
Thank you,
Ivan
Ivan:
WOW! He’s sooooo smart and we are soooo dumb, b/c we dare to criticize his leadship abilities, which have NOTHING to do with IQ.
B/c of his academic “record,” I should be in awe, and this is why you question my intelligence? Isn’t this the thinking that gave us our current mess? Do you worship at the altar of David Brooks?
That’s what trolls do, they just come here to throw bombs and call names without any interest in real diaglogue or exchange.
If you are so smart like you think you are, then I would direct you to William Buckley’s quote about the Boston phonebook. I think that encapulates my point quite perfectly, and you proved it for me.
“WOW! He’s sooooo smart and we are soooo dumb” – yes, PhillyConn, you DO appear quite dumb, read on.
Bobby Jindal: In 1996, at the age of 25, appointed Jindal as Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, an agency that represented about 40 percent of the state budget and employed over 12,000 people. Jindal was the youngest ever Secretary of the DHH. During his tenure, Louisiana’s Medicaid program went from bankruptcy with a $400 million deficit into three years of surpluses totaling $220 million. Under Jindal’s term, Louisiana nationally rose to third place in child healthcare screenings, with child immunizations rising, and introduced new and expanded services for the elderly and the disabled.
In 1998, Jindal was appointed executive director of the National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare, a 17-member panel charged with devising plans to reform Medicare.
In 1999, at only 28 years of age, Jindal was appointed to become the youngest-ever president of the University of Louisiana System, the nation’s 16th largest system of higher education with over 80,000 students per year. In March 2001 he was nominated by President George W. Bush to be Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services for Planning and Evaluation. He was later unanimously confirmed by a vote of the United States Senate and began serving on July 9, 2001. In that position, he served as the principal policy adviser to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. He resigned from that post on February 21, 2003, to return to Louisiana and run for governor.
PhillyCon, this is quite a record of achievement up to this point, but Jindal was only getting started. Instead of attacking your betters, why don’t you try to better yourself by learning? You strike me as an ignorant twit; sorry, I just call ‘em as I see ‘em.
Ivan
To “Ivan the Terrible”:
I feel sorry for you. Is Jindal related to you?
PhillyCon, don’t waste your pity on me. And no, I have no relationship to Governor Jindal beyond sharing U.S. citizenship.
Ivan
Ivan:
I had a response to your sneering, snobbish post but it went to moderation.
Hopefully, you can read it.
Ivan,
Bobby Jindal is SMART. Nobody denies that! But he is not presidential material. Truman only had a high school diploma with some correspondence technical college courses, BUT he was a leader.
Jindal is a ZERO and against Obama and ACORN he will be a .000000000
Carmelo, I’m sorry, but I don’t share your high regard for Truman – is it you or me who lacks standards? Any way, history will prove whether Jindal is what I believe him to be, or that you are as “smart” as you think you are.
I know the answer to that already; just as I know that your tacky, classless, insulting comments about Governor Palin’s underwear (see comments below) reflect what a stand-up gentleman {NOT} that you are.
Bugger off, kid, you bore me.
Ivan
So sorry, but Ivan is right: Bobby Jindal does not belong on this list. Our side is supposed to have respect for the law, and navigable waterways in the US, especially oceans, are under the jurisdiction of the federable gummint, even when they are completely incompetent and/or indifferent. Jindal, also having respect for the law, can’t just do what needs to be done. He’s done a hell of a lot for Louisiana; keep in mind that it is always considered one of the most corrupt states in the country (which is why the levees collapsed after Katrina).
This is a nation of laws, not of men.
Well, skunk is easy, Huckabee. (oops, Boyz, didn’t post on my usual computer, please delete my last post, which has my name. Thanks.)
…and Romney, weasel.
I love the Peter Pan visual!!
You are right.
I love your merciless attacks on the cucumber-and-mayonnaise “death with dignity” candidates that the Republican establishment will push to lose-not-that-badly to Obama, but I don’t think you should include Bobby Jindal in that group. He may be lacking in charisma, but there’s something of substance there lacking in the Romney/Thune/Pawlenty empty suit crowd.
Of course, if Jindal had defied the Big Zero and built the barrier islands to stanch the flow of oil onto Louiana’s shores, I’d elevate him to Gov. Palin demi-god status, but at least there’s something there with him.
Newt Gingrich as “Crazy Squirrel” because he would be crazy to think that he could win in 2012. I heard him on Hannity talking about a possible POTUS run.
Thanks Hillbuzz for writing about this. When I brought up the same point as you did here, someone said that I was a troll. The GOP right now is kind of rudderless. I just hope they see the writing on the wall with that list of losers.
You’re kind Debb. I think I would portray Newt as – well – a newt…
Newt Gingrich better RUN. He will ensure Romney is out by February 1, 2012!!
Mark my Words: Sarah Palin will get 52% of South Carolina primary votes!
IF Newt serves only to blunt the Romney candidacy and weaken the Republican blue bloods/country clubbers, then I am all for it.
I’m here in MN and although I think Pawlenty (“T-Paw”, in these parts)is a good guy, I don’t get the push for president. The guy is truly “milk-toast”.
Lost boys, indeed!!!
Man up and if you can’t figure out how, call Sarah Palin, Jan Brewer or Michelle Bachmann.
Liz Cheney and Nikki Haley can take the call too, same for Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter.
Hillbuzz,
Sarah is gearing the female support in Key states for the 2012 primaries. Women will go all for her!
Hillbuzz, may I add Laura Ingraham to your list of worthy hotties? – from my orientation, that is.
Ivan
There is a lot of HOT Republican and Conservative women to choose from. Oh Lalalalala
Nikki Haily, Carly Fiorina, Sue Lawden, Tammy Bruce, Laura Ingram, Michelle Bachman, Michelle Malkin, Liz Cheney, OMG.
The Demoniacs only have ugly old byaches lol
All the strong women running for office, and hopefully running in 2012, should adopt a common theme. Our kids are being screwed and we’re mad as hell. The debt and taxes they face are crushing and we have to prevent it. So if that means raising the soc sec age to 70 and getting less medicare, then suck it up. We older folks let this happen and we ought to make sacrifices to fix it.
Sorry to be a mosquito at the picnic. But I have to say Mitch Daniels is fantastic and currently leads my list of potential nominees. I won’t fully detail my latest observations about Sarah Palin, except that my views are not flattering and she is not on my list. Let’s just say when I hear the insufferable Glenn Beck breathlessly promoting a special on Fox Business Channel (airing tomorrow June 12) ‘featuring together on stage for the first time, Sarah Palin & Ron Paul…’ well, that verifies for me a few things about Sarah’s game plan. And it helps explain why she made the abominable, embarrassing decision to support Rand Paul in Kentucky.
‘Nuf said.
Sally:
I hate to break it to you, but Mitch Daniels is going nowhere. He just shot himself in the foot, saying that the life issue is “off the table” for him.
Kiss that candidacy goodbye.
Sorry you don’t like Palin, but the majority of us at Hillbuzz, love her. If you have come to bash her or undermine our zeal for her, it won’t work.
Bashing? Oh please. What do you call “Peter Pan / lost boys?” Which by the way, is fine with me. And quite clever and funny. I just don’t happen to agree on the serious point.
Associating with the Paul family and Paulian fringies is a mistake (or a gross ideological flaw) that offends me.
Sally:
Please re-read what I wrote:
“If you came here to bash Palin”
The key word: “if,” and its in the future tense. So, I wasn’t accusing you of anything. Chill.
10-4, PhillyCon.
Phillycon: this Sally sounds like a female double of Fredrik, which is to say, an emissary from Romney Central.
I hope the Romneybots will permit me to say that (hopefully without risking a further influx of them here). Or is freedom of speech too only for “anyone but Palinistas”?
One point about the Pauls: I don’t care for the elder one at all, but I do find it strange to assume automatically that the younger simply is a copy of him in all or even many respects.
And further: if mere “association” with the Paul family is such a deal-breaker, why stop with Palin? Jim DeMint for instance has endorsed the younger one. Are we then going to hear denunciations of him from those who find Palin’s associating herself with him “offensive”? Somehow I gather not …
Rand Paul is a stinking jerk in my opinion. He has his own record, apart from his father’s, to inspect. That said, he won his primary (however deceptively) and he is the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate in Kentucky. If I lived there, I’d be pitching in with gusto, helping to pour enough chocolate on the turd to get him elected. Because as bad as he is, I think he will vote with the GOP at least 50% of the time, which is 50% more than any Democrat would do.
From what I understand HillBuzz doesn’t like Ron Paul either, but like it or not, the Paul brand had been screaming about the economy and the probelms with big govt for quite a while.
Palin seems to pick each candidate based on those ideals so it seems right in line with her stance. And it would be impossible to agree with someone 100% of the time.
So what is so offensive about Paul and sitting next to him? The pull our troops home stuff? The libertarian hardline that upset the PC police? The investigate the Fed attempts? Dr No votes if it goes against the Constitution? The desire to cut off funding for Israel?
Please elaborate because at least he walks the walk. He doesn’t say one thing and do another like Romney does.
And he certainly didn’t need to be fed answers in a primary debate…like Romney did.
Karma: it’s the foreign policy positions of Ron Paul that I find aberrant and in some cases abhor, including, obviously, his views on Israel. Nor has he done himself any favors with his remarks on the CIA having staged a coup:
http://hotair.com/archives/2010/01/21/ron-paul-the-cia-conducted-a-coup-in-the-us/
SallyVee, I’d love to hear the few things about Sarah’s game plan that were verified by the coming appearance of Palin and Paul.
Don’t just toss that out and leave us hanging! Come on, share your perspective!
I think we all stand behind Sarah and her intelligent endorsements. Sarah is trying to unify conservatives, moderates and libertarians. She is not the extremist right winger Mathews want the people think she is.
What is there–for any “lifelong Republican woman”–NOT to like about Sarah? And please don’t give me the pathetic she’s-a-quitter argument.
Actually, the quitting thing does bother me quite a bit and I think it is hard to defend. So yes, I plead “pathetic.”
I suppose I should state, or re-state for the thin skinned around here: in the extremely unlikely event that Sarah Palin is nominated for president, I will support her with my whole heart and soul. I will donate the maximum allowable $$ and work as hard for her as I have for every other GOP nominee.
But until it becomes illegal to state my opinion in public, I will speak my mind from time to time. Capiche?
How tedious.
Quitter? Pathetic?
Maybe you should read her book as an antidote to that kool-aid.
Carmelo, that is a good argument. I just don’t happen to think she is going about it in a smart or effective way. Sorry. But I am completely open to changing my mind.
I hope folks around here are at least considering the possibility that someone besides Palin will be the GOP nominee. Regardless of personality and bra size, Americans need to get really, really smart and serious about how they cast their votes.
Sally:
I think you are the thin-skinned one. What did you expect from a pro-Palin website? Of course, you were going to get challenged.
Why must you mention bra size? That’s odd. Are you a Romney plant?
B/c we were warned about a week ago, that this was their MO,
You got me. I’m a Romney plant. An azalea, to be specific. And I am in full bloom ; )
Now back to the bra size. What I mean is, there’s a whiff of a cult of personality here. I think our votes should be attached more to ideas than body parts, that’s all. The fact that Sarah is a woman is irrelevant to me and I don’t think it gives her special status or an automatic check in the “plus” column.
Sally,
good luck with Romney’s third place in Iowa and with his only 24% in New Hamphire and good luck with his 16% in South Carolina in 2012.
I think the GOP in those states vote for Chris Mathews before Mitt Romney LOL
Second that Phillycon (and see above for more)!
Am:
They’re baaaack!!!
They are here to “enlighten” us, and mock our Palin “worship!”
B/c condescension and arrogrance is SUCH an effective tool at convincing others of your viewpoint!
They really teach them well at Romney HQ.
Not true, PhillyCon. I can actually think for myself. I am not accusing you of worship and I do not mean to condescend. (I probably failed on that count.)
I mainly wanted to provide a little bit different perspective, and perhaps challenge a few assumptions.
Put it this way: the GOP nominates another “white” male and the first “black” president gets reelected(no matter what). Racial campaigns are too strong to defeat.
Romney would be CRUSHED by ACORN, the Black Panthers and the Obama girl.
May I weigh in? Thank you.
SallyVee hit on something with her observation about a “cult of personality” here. See my address to PhillyCon and Carmelo above.
When it comes to supporting Sarah Palin, I will “sling my meat on the table” against anyone, in support of Governor Palin. Hell, she was on my radar 18 months prior to most, if any, of you had heard her name. But this worship is getting a bit creepy; almost Obama-worship like.
Sarah Palin is a splendid candidate to run our country; so is Bobby Jindal; so is Haley Barbour – anyone talking about him? Why not?
In fact, in 2006, I was salivating about a Palin-Jindal ticket in 2012 – I can read the writing on the wall – but I thought it would be a Hillary v. Sarah slug-fest. NOTE: The writing gets cloudy after a few IPAs.
But I digress…the bottom line is that when you pile on SallyVee and accuse her of being a “Romneybot”, you diminish yourself and marginalize this site into a narrow type-cast. The fact is, the Republican field is as deep as I have ever, in my lifetime, seen it. By denigrating some fine folks – I addressed this re: Bobby Jindal, above – you are doing harm to your stated mission.
I’m through pontificating…think it over.
Ivan
Ivan:
Can we please relax with the name calling? Isn’t this what the Left does?
A common error people make is that they equate the Left with the Right. No, we do not worship Palin, and never will. If you read that CBS news piece on “Palin heads” you would have understood this point. In fact, she is a true leader, who takes the slings and arrows.
Such over simplication of Palin’s appeal should be beyond your IQ level. You seem to be a nuanced and thinking indivdual.
The reason we “piled” on Sally is b/c she was rude, mean, and had to resort to “bra size” in order to make her argument.
She had no real opinion, just mudslinging. So, just b/c everyone doesn’t “love” Jindal on this site, don’t get your back up.
If you ever read this blog, there was a post on Barbour, and most of us like him.
We are open to anyone taking on the Obama Admin. It just seems that only Palin is doing it effectively, or at all. If anyone else can lead, I am certainly open to their candidacies as well.
PhillyCon, I’m calling you out: Show me where I’ve engaged in name-calling. Come on, show me.
Ivan
For starters, you just called me a “twit.”
PhillyCon, I did NOT call you a twit! I merely expressed an observation, “You strike me as an ignorant twit…”, there is a difference, you know.
Ivan
Ivan, I think we are on the same track. And you’re very much correct that the GOP field is wide and deep. I will support Jindal, Daniels, Petraeus (please God), Sarah, Kasich, Jeb Bush… plus probably a few in the mix we’ve not even considered… any combination thereof gets my undivided support.
Mainly, I am looking to see less emoting and clearer, more cynical reasoning. Think: military invasion. We’re in a full blown war and anyone with half a brain needs to fall into line behind one concept: elect Republicans. Whether they wear a skirt, a sari, or giant white boxers. If voters do what some so-called conservatives did to John McCain, we are sunk. And if voters once again vote for an airbrushed holographic image, we are sunk.
SallyVee, I cannot accept your assertion that we have to elect ANY Republican, just because he/she claims to be a Republican. I would pull a lever for Zell Miller, a Democrat, before I could pull a lever for someone like Arlen Specter or Jim Jeffords. In fact, in the 2008 election, I could not bring myself to vote for John McCain, so I had to justify mine as a vote for Sarah Palin – for whom I voted with enthusiasm.
Your criticism of Governor Palin for resigning her office is misbegotten; she quit the office for all of the right reasons, and she explains that decision quite to my satisfaction – ’nuff said on that.
Ivan
Ivan, Zell was the last of a dying, now dead breed. The Dems have been steamrolled by insane Leftists. There is no such thing as a moderate [elected] Democrat anymore.
Wake up and smell the partisan coffee. It is not a pleasant aroma but it demands rational thought and a grown up decision. To my mind, as imperfect a choice as the GOP is, the decision isn’t even close.
You may think that Sarah’s reasons for quitting are sufficient. I do not. And all but one of my Republican women friends were appalled and tremendously disappointed. Which is not to say they wouldn’t vote for her. But it should give Palin supporters pause for concern. That decision sets her back a huge step, right at the starting gate. It may not be fatal but wise people should not dismiss its significance. It’s called knowing your assets and your liabilities.
I’m astonished that you had difficulty choosing between John McCain and Barack Obama.
Sally, Sarah Palin quit, not because she can’t put up a fight; she quit because she was hampered by a flaw in a law that she championed (a flaw that was extremely costly and the bills were compiling) – post-resignation, that flaw/loop-hole was corrected. She was entirely right in her decision.
Re: John McCain, think McCain-Feingold. John McCain is as reliable as Arlen Specter. I agree with Ann Coulter in that John McCain is arguably more dangerous than Barack Obama; at least with Obama, you know the water is boing – think frog in boiling water analogy.
Ivan
Sally, bottom-line: We can’t afford any more Statists, be they Republican of Democrat!!! And John McCain is a Statist!
‘Nuff said on that.
Ivan
Oh dear. There is no penetrating a wall of wildly mistaken conclusions like that. I somehow thought you were a little more practical.
Well, send me a post card from Utopia when you find it. Meanwhile, I’ll be toiling down here in the real world.
Sally, may I commend to you a couple of books? Read Laura Ingraham’s “Power to teh People” and Mark Levin’s “Liberty and Tyranny”, and enjoy your time in “the real world”.
Ivan
My God does anyone have boobs?
Those type of shirts make ‘the girls’ look huge.
Her bra size hasn’t changed and it’s creepy that you bring it up and claim that it’s other people who have the have the probelms. Like her boobs are her only political strength.
Palin has been nailing Obama over and over and over again from Facebook of all place?
What has the rest of those dull Republicans been doing? Waiting and lurking and hoping their time will come. Vultures every last one of them!
At least Palin is engaged in the debate and has the courage to speak up. What other Republican presidental hopeful has shown any courage since Obama has been in office?
But apparently it is all about her bra size.
It does often seem as though it and similar matters are the only weapons against SP that her opponents and rivals have left, doesn’t it? — though I suppose that their fascination with her pair of attributes makes a certain sense as pairs of a different and politically speaking much more important kind are so scarce among them.
LOL!
True…I guess if they keep their focus there.
They don’t have to deal with the ‘Ninja Facebook Stars’ hurling past them.
Sarah never shows her boobs on camera. But she must have a pair of good 36c to please her man.
Way to drive the dialogue into the Stone Age, Carmelo.
I second that, Bijou.
Don’t be naive! If Sarah would been ugly and unappaling as Gerardine Ferraro there would have never be Palin sites.
If McCain would have picked Romney or Jindal, we would not had Nikky Haily or Carly Fiorina. We would not have a Tea Party and Obama would still be above 50% approval!!!!!
Wow…that’s quite a stretch.
I bet Sarah would be amazed to know that her bra size had so much power.
Who cares about boobs? That was just a comment. The lady is a total package. Easy to the eyes and staunch conservative. Can’t beat that! Is that is sexist then just support old ugly fart Barbara Bush and see where that takes you with voters.
Carmelo, “…just support old ugly fart Barbara Bush and see…”.
Carmelo, you’re a credit to pigs the world over. Why don’t you find a sturdy beam, a rope and a ladder, and do the decent thing?
Ivan
It’s funny that all these C&M crowd repubicans think that they must help govern.
They need to wake up and realize they aren’t part of the government. They are the OPPOSITION. Right now, they need to fight like Hell for US!
Just get out of the way and let Momma Grizzlies do the hard work!
Palin/Bachmann 2012!
Wow, that sounds like a great bumper sticker. For the ignorant and uninformed.
I would have a hard time using the phrase “Momma Grizzlies” with any adults, under any circumstances. But that’s just me.
Ok, you have made several comments now and I do not beleive that you are who you say you are.
We are not ignorant and uninformed. That is the same crap that they toss at Sarah. She stupid, blah, blah, blah.
I and most others here would happily follow her into battle. SHE IS A LEADER, something Mitty-boy will never be.
But I love her name “lifelong Republican woman”. It sounds better than “basement dweller DNC bot in my underwear”.
Geez Sally Vee came to chum the waters. Alot of belittling of Sarah Palin. And if she is such a Romney supporter, then come on lay out why he has your vote. Knifing people accomplishes nothing except repeat the Chicago machine.
It’s kind of trollish to come on this site and announce your dislike of Governor Palin. Or maybe not, but it is definitely trollish to keep responding and stirring the waters when others disagree.
If the remarks of the trolls on this post are any indication, I expect to see much more of the meme that Palin supporters have constituted a cult of personality around her (this at a time when e.g. Newsweek puts her on the cover as “Saint Sarah” — no doubt after receiving a directive from Axelrod), as though we and the Obamatons are simply indistinguishable in this respect.
Coming from erstwhile devotees of Obama, it’s a ridiculous charge on its face; when it originates from the camps of Sarah Palin’s Republican rivals it may express their envy of her or worse.
To HeWhoCriesWolf, I have a nose for sniffing out trolls – if you don’t believe me, ask the moderators at AT and TH – and I don’t smell any trolls on this thread; please share with us your suspicions.
I DO see a couple or few who are so emotionally invested in my first choice candidate, Sarah Palin, as to become paranoid of anyone who gives any other worthy candidate praise for their individual accomplishments. It’s an all-or-nothing devotion mentality; a phenomenon I find quite unsettling, and common among Leftists.
If you are prone to this sort of hero-worship, I think you may not be emotionally mature enough to claim to be a conservative, and you do conservatives and libertarian-leaning conservatives an injustice and give us a bad name.
Just supposin’.
Ivan
What did Bobby Jindal do, besides being male?
