Palin is a RINO. Look at the people with whom she surrounds herself.

Hey CW,

Well, I agree with you on most points. I think that Palin carries theconservative cause well, and speaks in good, general terms.....Palinis a great torch carrier for conservative causes. I don't think thatI can support her for President, and tend to agree that she is muchbetter in the media, and in general, just rankling Moonbats.I am a typical conservative. I will forgive Kondrake, (and especiallyKrauthammre and Rove!) because I like them, but it did piss me offwhen they trashed her a month or so ago. I saw Rove on O'Reilly Ithink it was Friday night, and he still could not bring himself tolend support or say anything positive about O'Donnell.

I still would love to see O'Donnell win this damn thing!!

Good to see ya by the way! I saw your earlier post, and when I wassetting my Fantasy Football lineup and pools, I see that your Team isoff this week!! We are barbequing today, it's a late game againstArizona, and here is my big, big, really really big secret Barbequerecipie!!

Have a great Sunday!

    "ELITIST"?  I don't think so.  I think they were being honest and
    realistic.  Don't think I don't like O'Donnell because I do, and I
    do think she has been given a "hard" time but I certainly wouldn't
    point to Krauthammer and Kondrake as the culprits.  LMBO!!!  I
    love Palin too - she really *is* "me" but I wouldn't vote for her
    to hold the highest office in the land.  O'Donnell will land on
    her feet after this and will probably find a nice media job.  ;-)
    The "thing" I like most about about O'Donnell and Palin before her
    is they really rattle the cages of the leftist pukes.  Keep on
    keeping on girls!!

    Hey CW,
    I don't think they have a "duty", but the manner in which they
    dismissed her I found almost, "Elitist".   And come to think of
    it,  yes, I do expect them to support her!  I mean, she is the
    conservative candidate!  The alternative is a guy who fashions
    himself as, "A Bearded Marxist".
    Needless to say, I was disappointed in their remarks and dismissal
    of O'Donnell.  The guy that O'Donnell beat in the primary, (I
    believe Cassell?)  from what I read, was a RINO, and this is who
    Krauthammer, Kondrake and Rove all supported.
    Further, like Palin, I think O'Donnell has been given an extremely
    hard time in the media, as compared to men who are running and are
    far less qualified as O'Donnell is.  I saw where NOW finally spoke
    up, in a back handed way, in support of O'Donnell the other day,
    over the allegations of the one night stand.

        I'm hoping against all hope, that this gal can somehow pull
        off an upset.  I would love to see not only the Moonbats made
        a mockery of, but also the likes of Charles Krauthammer, Mort
        Kondrake, and Karl Rove, who have done nothing to suppor this gal.

                  Christine O'Donnell versus the Ruling Class
                  
<http://teapartiers.blogspot.com/2010/10/christine-odonnell-versus-ruling-class.html>

            I spent several weekdays the last 3 weeks in October in
            Sussex County, the southernmost of Delaware's 3 counties
            (Kent and Newcastle being the middle and northern
            counties).  This was not new territory for me, as Rehoboth
            Beach is the Hamptons/Fire Island/Provincetown equivalent
            for DC urbanites like me, and I have DC friends and past
            customers and colleagues who have moved to Rehoboth or
            Lewes, and DC friends and former colleagues who own
            property in Milton and elsewhere.

            I did some canvassing and phone banking for O'Donnell (I
            am definitely a partisan), but I also listened and
            observed, from lunch counters in Georgetown, to coffee
            shops in Milton, to libraries in Lewes, to gay bars in
            Rehoboth.  And one thing is clear:  Chris Coons is a
            complete non-entity with no fans.  In the bluest of blue
            Democratic precincts, Rehoboth Beach's premier gay bar the
            "Blue Moon," people think he will win and worry that
            O'Donnell (whose gay sister supports her campaign) is too
            "rightwing" and too unpredictable.  But no one has
            anything good to say about Chris Coons himself.

            In one debate O'Donnell (who has beaten Coons in every
            debate, despite being outnumbered 3 to 1 or more, as the
            "journalists" moderating have clearly been simply on the
            attack against her) did something that a few other tea
            party supported candidates (particularly Sharon Angle)
            have done this year:  she made it explicit that her
            opponent is a profiteer off statism, that Chris Coon's
            family enterprise makes money off expanded government
            spending and regulation, in particular off the "Cap 'n'
            Tax" schemes to destroy jobs and industries that require
            fossil fuels.

            And the "class" issue is obvious to anyone with eyes who
            is actually in Delaware.  Only in rich areas favored by
            lawyers, lobbyists and others who make money off political
            connections, do Coons yard signs outnumber O'Donnell ones.
             So in rural towns like Greenwood or Ellendale, and in
            rural areas between towns, O'Donnell signs far outnumber
            Coons's.  In Rehoboth Beach, where for example lobbyist
            Jack Abramoff's bought what had been a gay bed and
            breakfast and turned it into a satellite office, Coons'
            signs dominate.

            Compare the average incomes of the towns where Coons and
            O'Donnell yard signs are more common.  (This was hard to
            do because up until about 10 days ago there was an
            extensive campaign by Coons supporters, if not the Coons
            campaign itself, to steal O'Donnell yard signs, including
            from the side yard on Chestnut Street at the house I was
            staying at in Milton.  Some of the perps were identified
            and apprehended, and claimed they were stealing signs so
            they could put them in their own yards.)  Greenwood has a
            median household income of $43,000 and Ellendale $44,000.
             The state average for Delaware is $57,000, while Rehoboth
            Beach (even though full of retirees, singles, and imported
            eastern European lifeguard and retail labor) has a median
            household income of $62,000.  Upper middle class people
            for Coons!  (All data from: http://www.city-data.com
            <http://www.city-data.com/city/Rehoboth-Beach-Delaware.html>.)

            If we look at who actually has yard signs in front of
            their houses, we see that Coons signs begin to outnumber
            O'Donnell signs by a factor of 4 to 1 or more as you get 2
            blocks from the beach, where a new McMansion can easily be
            $3 million.  On one block of Rodney street alone, two
            blocks of the beach, four expensive looking, renovated
            houses have Coons signs.  The one O'Donnell sign is before
            a modest home that belongs to widow.  And who else lives
            there and has a Coons sign in their yard?

            Well, the political class for one.  At 125 Stockley, 2
            blocks from the Delaware Bay, Rehoboth Beach commissioner
            Paul Kuhns has a Coons sign.  At 41 Sussex, 3 blocks from
            the beach, Rehoboth Beach commissioner Patricia Coluzzi
            also has Coons signs.  Ms. Coluzzi is well known for her
            letters to the editor this electoral cycle supporting
            candidates who will ensure that no energy exploration ever
            takes place in Delaware or its bay.  Which is no doubt
            helpful in protecting the value of a $1, 2, or 3 million
            Rehoboth manse.  But doesn't do much to employ someone in
            Greenwood or Ellendale whose median household income is
            2/3 that of the Rehoboth average.

            And the political class of Delaware, is in line for some
            dough if the Obama regime gets to keep raising taxes and
            spending for its slush funds.  Last year Rehoboth Beach
            got $140 million of Obama stimulus to spend to "redo" its
            boardwalk, 10 times the annual city budget of $14 million.
            Even in towns where city commissioners and mayors are only
            paid small stipends, having a say in funneling that kind
            of money is something we know the political class will
            fight tooth and nail for.
