Post Conservatives are eating their own

09-29-2008 10:27 AM

John McCain’s poor judgment seems to be coming back to bite him in the…well, you know the rest.

It appears that,the more Sarah Palin speaks, the more concerned conservatives get.

This time, it is The National Review’s Kathleen Parker that’s bemoaning the McCain pick’s performance as VP candidate.

Understand — just a few weeks ago, Parker was fiercely defending Palin, accusing critics of her as being sexist.* She even praised Palin as revolutionizing a new form of feminism.* But, what a difference a few weeks and a few interviews can make.* Now, Parker is hitting Palin harder than I’ve seen any across the aisle do.* Just look at some of the gems from her article.
“Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.”

And this gem:
“Only Palin can save McCain, her party, and the country she loves. She can bow out for personal reasons, perhaps because she wants to spend more time with her newborn. No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first.

Do it for your country.”

But, this is the best line of them all:
“If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself.”

Whoa!

She is not the first conservative commentator to say so.* On a recent episode of the Chris Matthews Show, conservative columnist David Brooks questioned if she was ready to be vice-president, saying “Based on what we’ve seen with the Katie Couric interview, it’s embarassing, it’s painful to watch those things, you want to turn them off.” He went on to say that in the debates, she could “rise to the level of mediocrity.”

It is said that, in regards to politics, “Democrats fall in love and Republicans fall in line.”* From what I’ve seen lately, the Republicans are breaking ranks and saying it’s every man and woman for themselves.* With a little over a month until the elections, Republicans are going to have to cheat heavily to pull this one off.

that's the ONLY way they'll win, especially if it continues to be as close as its been, according to every poll known to man....

Joe Biden won't have to do anything but answer the questions posed to him by Gwen Ifill.... do not address Gov. FAILIN unless asked to do so by the moderator.... the dems are going to have to understand that even if he doesn't wipe the floor w/ her, which he probably will, they're going to be seen as 'sexist' anyway....
