Is Sarah Palin sabotaging the McCain campaign?

I read a similar version of this Internal strife

There was also another article with a similar point of view which had to do with everyone trying to cover their ass and pointing fingers on who to blame fearing a loss or landslide loss election day for McCain. I thought it was on Huffington Post, TPM or Media Matters but cannot locate it. I feel really old now because it was just this morning when I read it.

I'd say all the racists and fundies are sabotaging the McCain campaign more than any other factor.

Palin isn't done. She will tear the Republican Party apart in 2012. As Subrosa said, there is a large faction who cannot comprehend that she is a rather lame candidate. They are mostly evangelicals and they make up 23% of the Republican Party. Expect them to push her for 2012 and expect the economic/national security faction of the Republican Party to dislike her, as they are showing now. Neither side will forgive the other for what will happen during the primary.

It's a wonderful schism they are looking at.

Why should she? he is doing an A job of it already, I think all that is going on is her salvaging her political future as best she can.

The Libertarian party is sitting in the wings with the organization to pick up the libertarian wing of the republican party, small government conservatives who are not religious nutcases, and the gun vote, and the anti-drug war vote. I expect we will gain from this.

Good point.

And you'd be wrong again.

O rly? You expect Bob Barr to take much of the anti-drug war vote?

Your delusions have gone from sad to hysterical.

Well, of course; why wouldn't thousands of rich white men settle on not creating their own vibrant, new party for change but instead shackle their fortune to one of the most hang-dog parties out there?

That's why I see the "disintegration" of the Republican party as something rather unlikely or at least rather drawn out. Years and years of:

"It's our party."
"No, it's ours."

I could be very wrong.

The LP is running HUNDREDS of candidates this year, and have been every election year for a long time. In Texas alone we are running over 120.

We even have incumbents.

Bob Barr is I admit an embarrassment, I am not voting for him, I have already said so on this site, and given explicit reasons why not.

I am talking about the party gaining, not Mr. Barr.

Not as silly wrong as you are about Ron Paul being a "loser".

You are a "comedian" who in my opinion takes himself, and his politics way too seriously.

Your posts here are not very funny in my opinion, other than some observations where people like Bush 43 are doing all the comedy for you, and for a comedian, that is a loser.

What is funny is that when Obama gets in, you lose the main butt of your jokes (Bush) forever. I do not see you being able to poke fun at Obama, nor at a congress that is majority democratic with much credibility.

So come the spring will have to actually work for a living as a comedian, or more likely get a job flipping burgers, and I think that is hysterical.

Perhaps, but I doubt she thinks so.

At best, you pick up a couple of Republicans like you would have anyway, regardless of the political climate. There isn't going to be some big change for your party stemming from the Republicans internal warfare right now, or ever for that matter. I simply don't believe your political contemporaries are going to gain anything of note. Period.

If we pick them up, then we would not have had them anyway.

Ron Paul is a looser, and a racist bigot, and an anarchist.

And you'd be wrong again.

GOD WHY DOES EVERY POLITICS THREAD HAVE TO TURN INTO A LIBERTARIAN SERMON!



im beginning to think 4chan harrassed the wrong cult!

Be that as it may, they're not going to generate the Libertarians any more notable popularity than what they have right now, which most of that popularity comes in the form of pure entertainment value. Their support factor for an election upset is between laughable and outright delusional.

Republican fears of historic Obama landslide unleash civil war for the future of the party

I think Bush has ushered at least 2 decades of solid Democratic rule. Hopefully we can reverse the damage that's been done.

You're not exactly correct here. Trust me, the Dobson endorsement is very meaningful and very important, still, in Republican eyes, both rich ones and, *ahem* "white trash" ones.

Too many of the big Dobson donors fall into both categories, matey. They're rich, white, and they believe in Sky-God and his Amazing Son Death-Kid. Your argument is not borne out by real-world circumstances.

Yes it was.

Because some folks can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy. Like the fantasy of the Anti-Drug-War Conservatives. The drug war was largely increased by the Great Conservative Dude, Reagan, and to go against that would be to become anathema to other Conservatives.
