While a number of the more cowardly VRWC mouthpieces in the MSM have abandoned the usual the Republican lockstep approach to candidate support solidarity while they try to climb on the Obama gravy train, others in the Party see this schism as a chance for purification and an opportunity to seize the apron strings of power. Read more…

Is Sarah Palin fully qualified as Republican Party candidate for Vice President?

Yes! Read more…

Political Animal has the goods. Kathleen Parker is as conservative as a pundit can be, and often writes disturbingly disinformative, if not downright dishonest, things. But, sometimes, even Parker finds a nugget of gold amidst all the dreck:

If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself.

Parker wants Palin to quit. For the good of the country, yet.

Wonder how far back the orders on *that* pony will turn out to be?

"The record clearly indicates a serious and concentrated pattern of unacceptable and at times, illegal activity occurring over a lengthy period, which establishes a course of conduct totally at odds with the ethics of our profession," Col. Julia Grimes, then head of Alaska State Troopers, wrote in March 1, 2006, letter suspending Wooten for 10 days.  Read more…

Obviously very few of you have ever read a automobile magazine, a motorcycle magazine, or have ever heard of AFX, Moose Racing, Dennis Kirk, Arctiva, Arvin, Altimate, HJC – seriously. Am I the only one that has seen chicks with guns or car porn. Guess what? Governor Palin, the beauty queen, fits the bill and she is using it; the sexy girl who isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty routine, to draw public opinion. Get over it. It’s not mean (though BIO I appreciate the very diplomatic way you addressed you concerns) it’s the truth. Read more…

I started out with Palin, went to Assemblies of God and the cell-church movement (in which he might fail to account for Saddleback and their adaptation of that approach for more mainstream megachurches), and fell into Amway, Hobby Lobby and US Plastics -- the corporations that back the takeover (steeplejacking) of non-cult churches until they spill out with feral Russian murderous homophobes. It's like a horror show with Air Force access to nukes, and The Family having access to Senator Clinton. Read more…

PALIN DOES IT AGAIN: As a politician, Sarah Palin is profoundly talented, disturbingly so. But uh-oh–she clearly enjoys telling lies! Last night, in her speech, she did it again! Why is she able to do this:

PALIN (9/3/08): We suspended the state fuel tax and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress, "Thanks, but no thanks," on that Bridge to Nowhere.

(APPLAUSE)

If our state wanted to build a bridge, we were going to build it ourselves.
