Vulnerable Republicans Want Palin To Stay Home

The Hill:

Republicans facing tough elections in 2010 don't want Sarah Palin campaigning with them.

Though the soon-to-be-former Alaska governor is seen as popular with the conservative grass roots, several Republicans said she'd help them by staying home in Wasilla.

The calculation is simple:

You can't feed a political career from grassroots. If you try, you'll look like a .p.i.g. rather sooner than later.....­.

[SaraNader]

That's odd, because the Dum Moines Register and other media outlets here in EYE-oh-way were reporting yesterday that Iowa Retardpubs were hoping she'd show up for the annual Ronnie Raygun fundraiser later this year.

[Gasparilla]

That's different than campaigning for individuals.

[PaleMail]

As Palin's estrogen winds down and looks fade, her support from the ogler faction will also diminish.

[Hammerofthor]

But that won't be any time soon. She grows more lovely, adorable and appealing every day. What a magnificent woman!

[Gasparilla]

Too bad she can't catch a clue.

[reggieb]

gag

[ekoorb]

A legend in her own mind.

[graceland9]

I know, right? Magnificent! It was GREAT the way she quit to prove she is not a quitter!

And I love the way she strongly, forcefully blames the media spotlight for all her shortcomings. I mean, if she did get into the White House, no one would pay attention to how much she spends on shoes, where she goes for date night, what condiment she eats on hamburgers, what kind of dog she has, who she picked for the sweet 16, who she is rooting for in the superbowl.­....

"She grows more lovely"

[LemonMeringue]

She's 45. It has to be happening already.

She is regular featured - my husband says "handsome" is the right word - but not a beauty and not charming.

I thought this particular quote from Rep. Dave Reichert (R-Wash.) spoke volumes:

“How could I say this?... I think in my district you really have to look at who can help raise the most money ... that’s what it’s really all about,”

At least he admits it's all about MONEY!!

[AbstractImp]

Bingo!

[BlueFloyd]

Sarah is popular with the grass roots?

Ya know what grass roots also like?



Manure.

Drill, baby, drill !

You go Sarah. The he!! with the republican babies. Anyone who is willing to publicly spank obama and his left wing extremists for their mishandling of our assets and the hole they are digging for the American people is okay in my book.
The younger people don't really get where this is going with obama and his buds. They have no idea that 20 years from now they will still be paying for their precious obama and his control games and they will be very much the worse off for it.
Until the mainstream media decides to act professional again and report all the news good or bad, and let the people make their own judgement, then everyone who will bring anything to light that we wouldn't otherwise hear about is welcome.
For instance, how pelosi snuck $16M into the stimulus bill to protect a certain field mouse in her home district in Calif.
Well, lefties. Is peolosi's mouse more important to you than the economy and the positive things that might have been done with this money?
That could have employed 320 people for a year making $50,000.00 a year.

[BlueFloyd]

how did you feel about bush's handling of the economy?

[19JCMan]

No clue at all.

[tjmlrc]

Let me be clear on this. I think all politicians that I have observed so far, and it's been a while, are bottom feeders. ALL.
In my lifetime (and I probably don't have much of that left) I would like to see one good, fair, moral man, woman or even extraterrestrial to lead this country sensibly.
Instead I see we are becoming more and more self serving as a society. And yes that includes your precious obama too!

[reggieb]

So I bet you took to the streets when Republican speaker Denny Hastert (longest-serving Republican Speaker in history) negotiated a land deal that netted him $1.8 million. He’d earmarked a highway for $207 million and just happened to own land that had to be purchased in order to build the highway.

[BlackMagicWoman]

So what's your plan?

[ladycubsfan]

Of course they don't want her speaking for them! She can't speak intelligently for herself. Her bible thumping base is getting smaller by the second, so this is no surprise. This is because most of them don't practice what they preach. But, hey, if you want to exalt the leader of the latest fad, be my guest...I'­ll place you right there with the 8-track tape in my memory. Except I won't mourn your loss near as much.

[redsongia]

Controversy follows her. It destroyed her political career, though she's happier as a celeb. Those running for office may not want to quit before they begin.

[sunnyjane]

Palin's big on rhetoric and small on original ideas. I'm betting that most of the time SHE doesn't even know what she's talking about. How could the rest of us?

[julia23]

you betcha its all about the economy and jobs and GO TROOPS and drill baby drill.

[BambooHarvester]

She should do p0rn
~

[19JCMan]

She has done plenty of fancy pageant walking for the old men of the G O P.

[chronic]

Come on Sarah, get out thar on the stomp and campaign for members of "the republ!can cr!me synd!cate"!

[macintoshsauce]

What about the do-nothing Democratic Congress? You forgot to include them...

[KLordsha]

So much for the fear mongering, race baiting rally tour that she was planning..­. Who is going to tell the Repubs that keep harping that Palin has a 60 percent favorability average among independants and " Reagan Democrats " that they're wrong?

[IndependenceDame]

McCain should be the test case for her popularity and ability to help candidates. He brought her to prominence. Man up, Senator McCain. Have Ms. Palin campaign for you. If she helps, great. That means her naysayers are wrong. But if you lose ... even then it won't all be her fault.

[BigSlick674]

Excellent idea.

[BlueFloyd]

he did the ultimate man-up about 40 years ago......b­ut i'm afraid he hasn't manned up at all since then.

[19JCMan]

He wants to win and he does not have anyone telling him that he has to use her. She will not be invited anywhere close to Arizona

[blueshield]

I fully support Missus P's God-given right to go out there and be the voice of the Republican party, get as much air time as possible in key contests, and make sure every GOP candidate looks like they're holding her tiara.

If the Republican Party can't stand on it's hind legs and deal with her directly and honestly, they deserve her.

[sheikwil4]

Palin is why McCain lost so badly, and her REP is worse now, so if they think the American people said all hell naw back in nov 08, what makes them think after the the disaster she and the say no to everything the President has tried to do the help get the country out of this mess, what makes them think, America will say yes to herand the Rethugs in 2010, she may fire up the base, but her being out there will fire up the democrates and independents also, she will make them the laughing stalk more than they already are.

[scjk67]

oh sure how Christian of Sarah, she rather take the Earthly treasures(money) then having spiritual treasures (God). what a PHONY she is. this is all about herself then the Alaska people as matter as fact she does't care for anybody at all. a true blue Narcissistic.
