Barbara Bush Wants Sarah Palin To Stay In Alaska
Did it ever dawn on you Libs that all these Repubs speaking out against Gov Palin may have an ulterior motive – Like having a another favored candidate in the race. In other words, did it occur to you that Barbara Bush is saying this because she still believes Jeb Bush is viable as a Presidential candidate in 2012, and would prefer Gov Palin stay in Alaska to allow her son to have a clear path to the nomination, if he decides to run.
I noticed you posted the other day that Mona Charon’s negative comments about Palin was indicative of a widespread dislike for the former Alaska Gov (I think you used the term going “viral”), without pointing out to your readers that Mona Charon has a favored candidate in the race, Mitch Daniels.
It’s one thing to have a bias and to want Gov Palin to leave the stage without getting a chance to prove her mettle. It’s another thing to withhold info from your readers, to push a meme or bias, that suggests Repubs criticizing her have ulterior motives such as another preferred candidate in the race.
To a tea partier George HW Bush is a “RINO”
To a Tea Partier, GHWB is an establishment NE Republican…..yes, also know as a RINO.
To a teabagger, GHWB speaks an incomprehensible language and breathes through his nose.
“GHWB is an establishment NE Republican…..”

To a tea partier, GHWB speaks an incomprehensible language.
It’s called English.
