" The GOP's cascading, devastating losses are aptly explained through Colin Powell's assertion that Palin polarized the party, and that Republicans no longer reflect America.

Check out Powell's CNN interview. Republicans need to listen carefully to what he's saying--like it or not--he's spot on.

Bottom line...Republicans can keep losing elections, or change.

One change gaining momentum is splitting the party between the radical extreme, Limbaugh-loving, right-wing Fundamentalists (Palin) and the old-school Conservatives (McCain).

I really think that's the only way we Conservatives can redeem ourselves. We must filter out the radicals before they destroy us. "

" Sarah Palin is one of the reasons why McCain got 47% of the vote. Without her, he would have lost by more. Palin bashers, it just goes to show how effective she really is that you would be so scared of her you have to tear her down. "

" Dear Head in the Sand,

Well your name here certainly seems to describe you well.

I will pray for you that the lies you tell don't continue to compel you to accuse honest people of being liars; that your blemished view of innocent people never results in harm against those you slander; and, that God will expand your intellect while opening your heart.

You sound like an extremely hostile, toxic person. I'm grateful for the natural distance that the world wide web provides, and that you are incapable of compromising my stronger nature and positive view. "

" To the responder of "I Love It"-
You're a Republican and a Christian, eh? Yeah..I doubt it. And you've 'never seen' any of that behavior? So you missed Obama's speech about the 'clouds parting, the sun shining down and (you) having an epiphany!' ? You missed that? You missed his references to 'healing the world'? So you weren't really watching the campaign then, I take it? And as a Christian..could you kindly point out the part of the Bible to me that makes it OK to kill unborn children? I must have missed that. Sorry, but you didn't lie well! "

" As a Christian, I'm really sick and tired of those people who blasphemously describe Obama as you do.

I have never seen one Obama supporter do that-- speak of Obama as if he were a Messiah. I have just seen remarks like that from those who are in opposition to Obama, and the man's supporters.

That behavior is thoroughly disgusting and deeply offensive to the sensibilities of true Christians.

By the way, I'm a Republican. And when I continue to see remarks like yours, an embarrassed and ashamed Republican.

Stop! "

" So he's 'vindicated' simply because Obama selected him? Why is that? Because Obama (zero military experience, to go along with his zero experience in most everything else) is so wise in the ways of war and can indentify a good soldier? HA! Or is the mere act of Obama saying your name an act of vindication? I suppose he heals the lame and makes the blind to see, too, along with is parting the seas and such! You liberals are so funny! (and logic-less) "

" I love the fact that General Shinseki has been vindicated - back as Obama’s choice to run the Department of Veterans Affairs.

If anyone in DUMB-DUMB's administration had a clue of what was going to happen in Iraq, it was Shinseki. He advocated a wiser strategy for Iraq and genuinely cared about his fellow soldiers. Too bad Bush in his infinite wisdom sided with Cheney and Rumsfeld.

In the long run, however, evil lost; Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and company are GONE and Shinseki is here. OUTSTANDING SELECTION OBAMA! "

NO - YOURE WRONG wrote on Dec 8, 2008 12:13 PM:

" Bush did ruin it for the Republicans, that's true. But the brain-dead plan offered by a shallow messenger (Wink Wink) didn't help the cause.

During the campaign, both George Will and Davis Brooks (highly acclaimed conservative columnists) were criticized their own party for appealing to/and misleading the most ignorant and uneducated in our society. They felt the party's anti-intellectual theme (Joe Six Pack approach) was EMBARRASSING.

Ms Raes - Sarah might have excited Alaskans and some extreme evangelical conservatives, but for the rest of us, she came across as childish and ignorant. "




ANSWER AMERICAS QUESTIONS wrote on Dec 7, 2008 10:23 AM:

" You want Palin's realists to stop? Then ANSWER THE DANGED QUESTIONS!

1--Why didn't the Palin's wear their own clothes?

2--Explain Palin's tax returns/per diems/freebies/late filings and lack of transparency.

3--Why didn't Palin rebuke the potentially violent, threatening whackos--like McCain did?

4--What gave her the right to go off message from McCain's campaign--it was HIS AFTER ALL and she was his "invited guest".

BTW, before you shout anti-left rhetoric, understand this, I'm a McCain-loving Republican.

Answer these--you'll probably be left alone from herein. If you don't--get used to blogs. "

" Ha ha...been said before (remember when Bubba won the White House? was the same feeling then, too). And I like how criticism of Obama means 'hatred'. Yet another word to hide behind. Another smear. Another skewed, twisted and warped way to defend the man. And I really, really don't want to hear a liberal accuse anybody of hypocrisy. The same people that defended Clinton. "




boo wrote on Dec 6, 2008 9:40 AM:

" You ones that spewed hatred about Obama are the same ones that criticize ill comments about Palin. Hypocrites, bye bye GOP for many years if not forever! A new party is needed, APP Americans People Party. "

" Polls showed Palin's unfavorable ratings were high among independents and undecideds -- just the ones McCain needed to win

Polls show Palin solidified support among holyrollers, rightwingers, and other brain-dead members of electorate. However, among the independents and undecideds, she's a train wreck. "

" Hey, Jill - How do you feel about Sarah Palin charging Alaskans per diem when she chooses to sleep in her own home?

And what about that abuse of power issue?

Palin is a fraud and has no business in an elected position. "

" Integrity, according to my dictionary, means honestry.

Two free trips, two years ago, that were just disclosed last month...claims she's been to Iraq, false per diem filings, ...all the clothes, etc....no wonder she gets "bashed."

I've been a Republican all my life. Been an altar boy....on church committees, etc.

Who published your dictionary ? "




Joe wrote on Dec 3, 2008 10:15 AM:

" To those of you who think any criticism of Palin is "bashing" and it is because people fear her political power, you could not be more wrong. What concerns people about Palin is her hypocrisy, her lack of intellectual curiousity, her lying, and her obvious unpreparedness for the job she was seeking. She has about as much intellectual depth as a teaspoon. She gleefully and maliciously spread innuendo and lies about Obama. What kind of a christian example was that? Perhaps Palin needs to look up the 9th commandment. "

" I have to agree, Bush lost this election for the Republicans. I think the Palin bashing is coming from the folks who fear that she is indeed going to play an important part in politics and they are worried....otherwise it would have ended when the votes were counted. We still hear the same voices and the same diatribe. They need to find another cause that needs them. "
