Posted on 17 November 2010. Tags: Governor Palin, New York Times
The New York Times Magazine has a refreshingly fair piece posted on its website today that will be published in their upcoming hardcopy edition. It is amazing how including quotes from former Republican strategist Mary Matalin rather than the anonymous, generic “GOP operative” or “high ranking Republican official” can give a news piece credibility. Politico [...]

Kathleen Parker has decided to join in her fellow GOP Elitists, Peggy Noonan and Michael Gerson, in placing all responsibility for any Republican losses in last week’s Mid-term elections on Governor Palin. Of course, the Elite probably retroactively blame Governor Palin for Reagan losing Minnesota in 1984 as well. Rumor has it as well that [...]

The Democrats have been obsessed in recent months with using a car analogy for the Obama administration and their role in altering the direction of the economy and the country. Recently, the DNC changed their logo to represent “drive” on a car’s gear shift, as a supposed indicator that Democrats are about moving the country [...]

The Left again proves itself to be devoid of a basic knowledge of American history. Yesterday at the Tea Party Express rally in Reno, Nevada, Governor Palin spoke with appropriate cautiousness about celebrating electoral victories prematurely by telling rally attendees to not “party like it’s 1773 just yet”. As conservatives know, 1773 was the year [...]

On Wednesday, Chris Matthews spoke of the Chilean mine rescue efforts. Rather than viewing it as a triumph of the strength of the human spirit, teamwork, and ingenuity, Matthews used this situation to take a gratuitous slap at the Tea Party in an interview with union boss Richard Trumka (yes, that Richard Trumka): CHRIS MATTHEWS: [...]

Last week, a couple of Palin endorsed candidates were asked if Governor Palin was qualified to be President. The relevance of that question to a Senatorial campaign and the campaign strategy employed by sidestepping the question could be addressed, but instead let us take a look at the question itself. There are, of course, Constitutional [...]

As Ian posted yesterday, emails from Todd Palin to Joe Miller’s campaign have been leaked, leading to what amounts to yet another “nontroversy”. The Palin family, as Todd Palin spoke about earlier this week, is still very supportive of Joe Miller’s campaign.

On the campaign trail in 2008,Governor Palin embraced the idea of being a “bitter clinger”–one who clings “bitterly” to guns and religion–a reference to a remark by then candidate Obama. Now Governor Palin is one who speaks out against bitter clingers. She doesn’t speak out against those who embrace both their first and second amendment [...]

We need to be on our guard against such crony capitalism. We fought against distortion of the market in Alaska when we confronted “Big Oil,” or more specifically some of the players in the industry and in political office, who were taking the 49th state for a ride. My administration challenged lax rules that seemed to allow corruption…

Ever since Governor Palin was named as the Republican vice presidential candidate, her adversaries have tried to make the case that she is not really a fiscal conservative. They whine about her increased spending between the 2008 and 2009 budget, claiming that this proves she is not a fiscal conservative. Yes, spending did go up. [...]
