AMERICAblog: Newt: Palin is not the leader of the GOP

  • An_American_Karol · 1 year ago
    The GOP made a deal with the devil, and now they are stuck with her. The values voters want Palin and will give up the "intelligent' factor within their party to get her.
    Too bad, Newt.

    All the Dems have to do is simply TREAT HER AS THE LEADER... and the Republicans will continually be on the defensive, bitchy and grouchy. Because you all know that whenever, wherever and however she can, Sarah Palin will eat up the attention and limelight, making it increasingly difficult for the more moderates ( and better qualified members of the party ) to rebuild a viable machine. She will polarize the base, making it less likely that the evangelicals will EVER try to play nice with the centrists... which in the end will mean stagnation, stagnation, stagnation. I think she's the BEST THING FOR THEM moving forward!

    Poor Newt, reduced to whining like the weakest puppy in the litter.

    Dick Cavett in the NY Times:

    The Wild Wordsmith of Wasilla

    ...something has gone wrong with all three television sets. They will only get Sarah Palin.

    I can play a kind of Alaskan roulette. Any random channel clicked on by the remote brings up that eager face, with its continuing assaults on the English Lang.

    One good thing that may come of Palin's emergence as a prime time player in the repug party is that if she is going to be taken seriously she will have to be vetted seriously. Not like the McCain campaign vetted her. Really in depth. And that will be the end of Ms. Palin. Too many skeletons in her closet. And in first dude's closet 'also.' If they wanted to the Democrats could have a hay day with Palin's history. And if push comes to shove that just might happen.

    Newt is more than ten times as smart as Palin and I think that makes him more then ten times as dangerous. I think he's also ten times as evil. Palin stumbled into her beliefs but Newt made a conscious choice to be as evil as possible, once having been liberal and deliberately rejected that.
  • Dave of the Jungle · 1 year ago
    Shut up Newt, you Old Fat Sow!
  • BorninUSA · 1 year ago
    OT Another monster created by McCain is 'Joe the Plumber.' Heard this morning that Joe is writing a book!!! Supposed to come out December 1st; just in time for Christmas giving. hahahahahahaha
    And isn't Palin writing a book 'also?' McCain should be very proud of his friends, Palin and JTP. Thank God the campaign ended when it did or who knows who else McCain would have pushed into the public limelight! Scary thought.
  • vkobaya · 1 year ago
    Come on! Joe and Sarah writing books? They would be very lucky if they don't put their eyes out with a sharpened pencil. Given the stupidity of either of them, they could probably even put their eyes out with a keyboard. Did you ever hear how Shattner wrote his sci-fi series? My guess is that some ghost writers are simply using Joe and Sarah's names to promote books that actually are written by those ghost writers. Palin's book deal is for $7 million which would make many ghost writers very happy to forego authorship.
  • caphillprof · 1 year ago
    I was taken by how old Gingrich looks. He's definitely not of any new ideas generation.
  • bluestockton · 1 year ago
    So true. I heard him on an NPR interview Saturday. He said he's not interested in becoming head of the RNC because he's heavily involved with two groups who are lobbying for increased offshore oil drilling and lower corporate taxes. Obviously he has yet to figure out why the Rethugs lost the election so decisively.

    That doesn't so much strike me as analysis, but more the desperate hopes of a man who needs to pretend this country is primed and ready for the Newtvolution!

  • Older_Wiser · 1 year ago
    Newt doesn't realize his "sell by" date has expired...Palin ensured that.

    $7 million for a book deal for Palin? I guess now her lazy husband can retire for good. And the two other daughters can happily get pregnant and not have to worry about marrying their Baby Daddies. Mom's rich!

    Hey, a lot can happen in 4 years...
  • scottinsf · 1 year ago
    There can be no doubt that Palin IS the supreme leader of the republican party. All republicans must now humbly bow to her majesty. For the republican party, she alone is the silver lining of this election.

    Hail Sarah!
  • winchester · 1 year ago
    I’m thinking the longer the media can keep Palin in the limelight the better off we all are. I absolutely love seeing the Republicans in total disarray and squabbling, and having Palin stealing any thunder from almost anyone more qualified in a leadership role is just fuel to the fire. This is fun stuff to watch? You betcha!

    Neither is Newt.

    Great combo, though:

    NEWT/ PALIN 2012!

    Perhaps Pailin/Newk...the Rethugs are known for their mistakes.
  • cosanostradamus · 1 year ago
    .
    Yeah.

    Pretty much any Repuke ticket should be a loser for the foreseeable future.

    Of course, that's up to our corporate media. I never thought they could sell Nixon, Reagan or the Bushes. I guess PT Barnum, New York political consultant, was right about the American people.

    I hope this election wasn't just a fluke. I hope people have learned from experience to ignore the MSM, do their own research, and vote their real interests. Let's see how the next four years go. It couldn't POSSIBLY be any worse than the last eight. Unless you listen to the spin-machine.

    Why is anybody still listening to that foul little career-failure, Gingrich? Especially on the subject of women, or leadership. He dumped his own wife on her death -bed. Now THAT'S Republican "family values." Just like McCain, and Reagan.

    Isn't he a cheating husband and convicted person as well?
  • Older_Wiser · 1 year ago
    More cheating than the Wikipedia entry actually mentions:

    Gingrich has been married three times. He married Jackie Battley, his former high school geometry teacher, when he was 19 years old (she was seven years his senior at 26 years old).[7][8] They had two daughters and divorced in 1980. It is alleged that while she was in the hospital recovering from surgery for uterine cancer, he appeared at her bedside with a yellow legal pad outlining the details for their divorce,[9] an action that would later be used against him: In 1992, his Democratic opponent, Tony Center, ran an ad claiming that Gingrich had "delivered divorce papers to [Jackie] the day after her cancer operation," which was not technically true.

    In 1981, six months after his divorce was final, Gingrich wed Marianne Ginther.[10] He remained married to Ginther until 2000, when they divorced. Shortly thereafter, Gingrich married Callista Bisek, with whom he later admitted to having had an affair during his second marriage.[9]

    Newt and Callista currently live in McLean, VA

    We all need to encourage Sarah that she is the righthful leader of that party, since they all seem to think she is the Alaska Disasta.
  • RitornaVincitor · 1 year ago
    Please, please let Palin be the new leader of the GOP. It will be the next great Republican disaster.
