I wonder.

…are starting to remind me of Paulbots/Paulnuts in their rabid support of her. If she doesn’t run or if she runs but loses the nomination will they sit home with their toys and refuse to come out and play? Will their discontent help Obama.
I like Sarah and know that she at least will enthustically support the nominee even if her worshippers don’t.

The economics of Gore’s corkscrews never made sense….

Mew

What on earth are these people going to do when they realize she’s not running?

For someone who was absolutely thrilled with her selection as McCain’s running mate, I’m so tired of these games…

The author of the piecde is obviously upset with our own Leon WOLF. No doubt he perceive Leon as the proverbial “WOLF in sheep’s clothing..” but remember the LAST time the GOP any GOP candidate attempted an “ovine” reference, we ended up with Carlyh’s “Demonic Sheep” commerical..which still obviously perturbs this person.

There..got it?

Face it, the majority of the C4P post was close to the truth. Argue all you want… but I have been following this site for several years now and you can’t avoid the fact that this site slews to certain candidates versus others and whether that is good or bad, who cares.
But, I definitely have noticed that in the last few months there are a lot more snarky posts and comments re Palin (especially her supporters) versus what I saw re Daniels or recently Perry.
Hey, if you like certain candidates… fine. But don’t sit there and try to play the “we are neutral” song. That is baloney and if you don’t admit it, then the C4P is more than close, it is dead on.

I see Eric is taking this personally and as some sort of attack directly to Red State. If you read the C4P post, it explains their complaints about what is going on here.

To pull out a comment on a site that gets thousands of comments per day to prove something to help your side is not a good tack to take. If I were to troll through this site, do you think I could find a lot of stupid posts, jerk off comments, idiotic ideas? I guarantee you I could because I have read a lot of them over the last few years.

So, Eric…. how about stepping back and maybe being a little more open about the themes advanced by this site through the main posters to the front page.

You have to at least be prolific to be called a hack.

They seem to have a great deal of difficulty spelling and editing for corrections.The general tenor is seemingly RAH-RAH and kinda “Varsity” high school, in tone. How many *ringers*, do you suppose there are? The reason I ask is that I do not know of one conservative who is as ‘breathless’, as this. Am I just seeing it wrong or is there too much Cynic in Me?
Oh,and they really do not like Erick. He must be doin’ it RIGHT. (This, from someone with few real admirers, but they always do listen!)

These comments illustrate the major problem with the potential Palin campaign. She and many of her supporters operate on the belief that non-stop combativeness is the only course of action. Palin seems to believe she is at her best when she is lashing out.

It seems every little slight is cause for a major dust up with her and her supporters. It’s one thing to like Palin personally, but buyer beware of a potential campaign. It’s Pandora’s box. As combative as she can be, her ferverent supporters are that much more combative. It’s a recipe for a major electoral disaster.

I wrote yesterday my big concern with her campaign was she and her supporters wouldn’t know when she was beaten. Just the fact she might not be the nominee could cause many to stay home or support a third party just to get at the “establishment”. If you don’t believe me, just look at the comments from C4P.

The sooner she realizes she can’t win, the better the chances of Republicans winning in 2012. Don’t for one second underestimate the hold she has on a sizable following.

Keep going with the Wolf. Follow that idiotic thinking process and adios as you head into irrelevancy for the next year or so.

I’m sort of meh on Sarah Paliln (except for the fact that I know conservative Republicans who won’t vote for her and we’d probably need those people).

Either she will run or she won’t. Her number are what they are. They are not some misinformed guess. They are a sceintific sample of the population.

who would hand the keys to 1600 Pennsylvamia Avenue back to a Marxist for four more years no matter which Republican got the nomination?

I see Eric says he is a true blue Conservative and won’t sacrifice his staunch conservatism.
Well, I know that Sarah Palin is a true Conservative. One of the best Conservative examples in the national political person list.
Yet, “Conservative defending” Eric allows dolts like Wolf and others post negative articles on a true Conservative – Sarah Palin.

Now, this wouldn’t have anything to do with the personality trait that was revealed by Eric when Tucker “Bowtie” Carlson made his own personality trait evident with the milfistan tweet, would it? I seem to recall Eric liking it and revelling in it… until the heat got too hot and there was some deleting going on.

Yes, Red State is a conservative site. Yes, I agree there should not be potshots taken by Red State at C4P and vice versa. But lets not start this “Red State is pristine” baloney.

Red State can promote Perry or Daniels or any of the others. C4P is strictly a Palin supporting site…. I guess that is why its called Conservatives4Palin.

And just for some history…. the reason that C4P was created in the first place…. because almost all the so-called Conservative supporting bloggers, politicos, pundits, Republicans, etc. did not defend Sarah Palin when she was attacked in 2008 after the election and all through most of 2009. Take a little google trip if you don’t believe me. It was only when they realized how much influence she had with the Tea Party and others as well as the ability to raise money that they finally got off their lazy fat buttocks and started to speak up.

Ask Eric who really made sure that Nikki Haley made it through the personal attacks… even when the worst of it was being thrown out there just before the election. And no, I don’t think Eric can be credited with that.

That he gets all the time from the Palinista’s? He said on his radio station that he could deal with the Ronulan’s (had to borrow that term kyle), but he has lost all respect for the Palin supporters and their nastiness they have displayed.

Erick’s mild post on RS in response to what C4P is saying, to me anyway, is more than warranted. I’d be more than happy to hand some reality checks to the C4P folks.

Though I am a self-labeled Palinite, I confess that I read RS much more than C4P. I personally don’t have a problem with “fan sites”, but I’m already sold so don’t need that. I didn’t agree with Leon’s column, but it was definitely wrong of them to equate that to RS and to you personally.

But in a way, you can count your blessings. At least they didn’t accuse you of typing one-handed….just sayin’.

Commenters get out of hand, it happens on every site that gets comments. Why highlight it by putting it on the front page?

Almost everyone here that has a long enough comment history has probably posted something equally as bad. I don’t see the value of highlighting things like this.

I’ve been suspicious of Ron Paul almost from the first minute I heard of him, from some sign twirler standing on the corner screaming about Ron Paul and how he’s the solution to all of our ills. My first thought was, “Well, now I know where the Lyndon LaRouche crowd ended up.”

With Mrs. Palin, it’s more complex. I have an enormous depth of admiration for her and her family (especially her husband). It can’t be easy to be the bit players when the media decides to go Full Monty Python Flying Circus on your wife or mother.

I don’t think the media, nor the left will allow her to escape her box right now. And like many here, I don’t think she’s going to run, and if she did, I don’t think she’d win, even though she would have my vote. I think she has a longer term plan in place.

What with his contraptions and whatnot. T’aint natural.

If you replace “invention” with “banning” in your excerpt it might make more sense.

hey, who cares!? why are we wasting our time on this people? it is a whole bunch to do about nothing! i would go so far as to say Erick shouldn’t have ever posted a response about it. we have an election to win not a beef to pick with some Palin fan-site!

Get it together folks! What we are fighting is much bigger than this crap!

With Paul, I can understand how he gets that sort of devotion because so many of his fans have just never been exposed to any market theory or economics before, and many are in school and young and impressionable.

But Palin’s natural constituency would seem to be more stable people. Yet they act like stalker-bots and react like spoiled brats at anything less than fawning over their Queen.

It makes little sense, and it is disturbing.

… yet no one calls them freaks, like some of the commentators on this post.

because they don’t think you’re Conservative enough to have them! Hey, for a hack you are holding it down pretty well. Better than, say… oh, I don’t know… Bill Kristol?

You know he caused the earthquake in D.C. today – right!
