Am I the only conservative who would be just as happy to see Sarah go back to Alaska and tend to ..whatever it is she does in Alaska??
The 'aww shucks' routine was almost cute with McCain because I didn't believe it was more than a routine. 4 years later and she still acts like she just came from baking cookies for the young'ins and has a roast baking now. Enough.... We need leaders, not mothers and not homely pals to feel our pain. We need leaders with courage, vision and balls down there where it matters. Hey..even women can meet that in their own way, this one just doesn't!
We NEED the Senate. No question..It matters SO much more than the House if one one of the two can be under majority control. If Palin is the cheerleader for that overall effort though, we're doomed. We'll be lucky to keep Congress. Leadership is among the many things I DO NOT feel when looking at her.edit on 2-8-2012 by Wrabbit2000 because: (no reason given)

Palin is helping defeat other republicans, these republican's will be easier for democrats to beat in later elections. How do you think a political movement with a 51% unfavorable rating is going to in the future?

I think they win despite her in an election cycle it would take Pee Wee Herman actually IN the movie theater and caught red handed to lose against incumbents. That almost goes equally to both parties for incumbents..if it weren't for the fearless leader annoying people so much. I wouldn't credit her too much with riding the wave of sheer anger toward anything politician like and sitting in office from previous terms.

Where ever Gov. Sarah Palin goes the candidate wins.
Look at the election results for Ted Cruz.

"- You didn't build that - & the smear campaign against Chick-fil-A have us mobilized.
Obama is doomed but we also need a filibuster proof United States Senate."
Yes, yes. Out of context quotes and boycott of a fat factory fast food joint gets you riled and mobilized. But unpaid for and unprovoked wars, torture, the Patriot Act, rampant cronyism (both parties), sycophantically following the marching orders of the giant companies....none of those things will even get you off the couch.
Is there a better reason ATSers that shows the uselessness and ridiculousness of the Right today? But what can you expect from a group who is terrified by science, threatened by reason and unable to discern facts?
How I miss the great statesmen of the former Republican Party. All we have now is this vicious crop of religious zealots who have usurped the party.

At this point I really don't care much who wins what. I just hope that a single party doesn't control the executive and the legislature at the same time.
The only thing that has saved us from being totally gobbled up by the bureaucracy is its inefficiency. Partisanship and a divided legislature has actually afforded this country a brief respite from the inevitable deep dark hole looming ahead.

The other possibility is that Dewhurst lost due to being backed by Perry. Rick Goodhair Perry is not that popular of a governor even among Republicans after his horrible run for the presidency.

The more money comes from the Tea Party being used as tools.
. What most people don't know about the Boston Tea Party is why exactly it happened - what the colonists were actually protesting against. It wasn't just against the King, or taxation without representation, or a fight for freedom. It was a protest against corporate control over the North American economy. It came after the British Parliament - who were mostly shareholders in the British East India Company - gave the largest corporate tax break in the history of the world to the world's then-largest corporation, the East India Company
Which brings us to today - when tens of thousands of Americans across the nation have taken to the streets to once again protest against too much corporate power and corporate corruption of our government. They're protesting against massive tax breaks for job outsourcers, tax subsidies for insanely profitable oil corporations, and bailouts for Wall Street banksters. And in the irony of all ironies - it just so happens that the most corrupt of our politicians today - the most in-the-bag for the big corporations - are calling themselves Tea Partiers.

Where does the money come from -- your mission statement could be written in Klingon and mean as much -- who is paying for your - "grass rootedness" LOL. The Tea Party is owned.
