But over time she started to wear on me. I think the final straw for me was her whiny performance when Rahm Emmanuel dared to use the word "retard" to describe Congression Democrats. Personally, I can't think of a better word to describe them. And whining about words is not what freedom fighters do.
And yet, even from that previous low, she has managed to reach a new one.
Conservative superstar Sarah Palin opened the door yesterday to joining forces with Mitt Romney for a 2012 White House run - a hot ticket that has some Republicans licking their chops at the prospect of unseating President Obama.You have a lot of respect for Mr. Taxachewsetts health care? You would accept the second-banana role on a ticket under Mitt "I have no principles" Romney? Madam, have you no shame!
“Sounds pretty good,” Palin declared at yesterday’s Tea Party Express rally on the Common when asked about pairing up with the former Bay State governor - giving the idea a big thumbs-up as she left the stage after her headline speech.
Last night, as Palin stopped for cannoli at Mike’s Pastry in the North End, she said she was “serious” about the idea.
“I have a lot of respect for Mitt,” she told the Herald.
Tea partiers, beware. Anyone trying to sell you "Mitt Romney, Conservative" is no friend. That she would do so exposes her as a fraud. Do not trust her. Do not put your confidence in her. Find other, more principled leaders for your movement. She is not one of you. She is one of them.
So where DO we go for leaders? Have they all been compromised, save for one 74-year-old man, marginalized by his own Party, actually hated by some Conservatives, and ignored by Big Media (the BM for short)?
I'm not optimistic for the future. Who can be?
