Give the Lady a Break
Liberals hate professional conservative women because they fly in the face of left-wing dogma. That is a given. But, why is it that so many on the right refuse to give accomplished women like Michele Bachmann their due?
I secretly hoped that Bachmann would not enter the 2012 presidential race. Frankly, I didn’t want to be put in a position of having to defend her considerable accomplishments. It’s a thankless job.

Sarah, Who?
Sarah Palin. The very mention of her name invokes a strong response from almost everyone. You either love her or hate her. (Count me in the former category.) Until now, Palin has been sucking up all the oxygen in the media with her “Will-I-Run-or-Will-I-Not” bus tour.
I confess that since the 2008 election, I have been disappointed with the former Alaska governor.

Why the GOP Elite Despises Sarah Palin
The GOP was the Grand Old Party. Now it’s the Gray Old Party and no about of Grecian Formula can hide the obvious.
Somewhere along the way, the GOP adopted an unofficial rule that says you run for office, bring home expensive pork barrel projects to your state, have a few roads and bridges named after you, campaign for others, and when you are old and gray and have enough political chits to call in, it becomes your turn to be the party’s nominee for president of the United State.

Palin Out but not Down
On July 3, Sarah Palin did the unthinkable. She resigned her office as governor of the state of Alaska and threw away any hope of running for higher office.
If you believe that you are either delusional or a liberal loon, incapable of rational thought. Read the rest of this entry »
