Which is to say no longer. Life’s too short to spend it on idiots. That hers are genteel idiocies and not psychotic rantings doesn’t matter.

complimenting you, right? I’ve been around long enough to know that accent bigotry usually earns a masterly smackdown from GC.

Peggy is an elitist fool.

…that the Anchorage Republicans are still in denial that the political climate has changed such that the Democrat/left totalitarians are running rampant in their efforts to establish a one-party state and the old rules no longer apply.

This inability to discern the weather and the propensity to shoot the messenger (weather forecaster) are perhaps a greater danger the continuance of our republic than the leftists, because the former spikes efforts to create an effective opposition when people start catching on to what is going on in Washington.

Frankly, in today’s Republican Party if you get into a fight whether you started it or not, whether you are right or wrong you get abandoned and kicked to the curb. Hell, half the Party will join whoever is beating on you. Until that changes, one has to be crazy to want to fight.

There’s a reason, I quickly reappeared here after saying I was going dark for awhile to do some stuff with the new Anchorage Mayor; I don’t know who ran the fasted, me from the Rotary Club Republicans or them from me and all over 5000 words that actually reported the truth of the situation they faced and which were deemed too controversial to see the light of day or be spoken in polite company. Who wants to be associated with these wusses?

She’s 45 years old. I am willing to just sit back and watch what if anything she can work at doing. There were not a lot of folks who thought Ronald Reagan was going to be President when he was her age. It was not easy for him, and he worked very hard on what he would say and how he would say it. He made it seem very easy, but it actually took a lot of hard work.

I think Palin could be a good fundraiser, I think the presidency is out of reach.

let alone know anything about winning. No one.

We need a leader who understands that politics now is bloodsport and is willing to play for keeps.

One of the reasons why I have no interest in Sarah Palin anymore is her stated reason for resigning. “Too hard on my family.” OK. But you just forfeited your right to play. We need someone who will draw blood without regard to the personal price and until that individual shows up and proves they are willing to heap both political and personal destruction on the opposition, we’re in for a long walk in the desert.

But there was a Reagan machine made up of capable, creative, conservatives who helped him win. Since 2004, we have been losing, it has become the new normal. Fine we need a leader, but every time someone pops up many of us shoot them down. Our foes are institutionalized, and they should be institutionalized lol. What we need are people who are willing to fight and KNOW HOW to fight and win! I don’t see that, do you?

And a simple reason at that: NO LEADERSHIP.

Reagan machine? There was no Reagan machine. There was Reagan the Leader and there were people who were willing to follow. If a Leader shows up, he will have followers. So far all we’ve seen are co-conspirators and head cases with egos.

there is neither profanity or any semblance of intelligent or rational thought in your little pathetic offering.

Feel free to take it personally if you need to feed your victimhood. You are obviously a victim, it’s just that you’re not bright enough to realize that it’s the very establishments that you choose to align yourself with that are the ones victimizing you.

sure we see a tough speech once in a while to a partisan crowd. But do we see anything resembling the Reagan machine? Do we see ideas people fighting back against the MSM, NEA, unions, Hollyweird, etc? All I see is a party fighting itself and afraid to speak the truth for the fear of losing some demonrat proclaimed constituency.

and he didn’t say a damn thing. That’s why it was to no avail.

The guy is an absolute, dyed in the wool, full blooded political coward. It was absolutely shameful send our military to fight and possibly die and he didn’t have the courage to respond forcefully and truthfully to people like John Kerry, etal. GWB is a fine gentleman, but he was a pathetic President. Pathetic. The best that can be said of him would be that he was miles better than either of the Dems he beat.

We are now paying the price for his cowardice, and we’ll continue to pay it until some leader rises up and calls a traitor and a liar “a traitor and a liar” instead of “my good and and honorable friend from MA”.

And it was not just intel that built up over time. The capability of the Iraqi forces — essential for counterinsurgency success — was built up to a point where our 25% “surge” was matched by an effective native force four times as large.
