Good morning, all! Since the Elections are upon us, we need to examine the the yin and yang, the Jagger and Richards, the Pete and Repeat of the Freeperatis’ political desires – Jeb and Our Sarah!
Jeb won the coin toss (if nothing else), so we’ll start out with Bushed!
Why Jeb Bush should run for president
Washington Post ^ | October 28, 2014 | Ruth MarcusPosted on 10/29/2014 10:02:51 AM by C19fan
Run, Jeb, run.
I mean it, despite two powerful arguments against a presidential run by Jeb Bush — one specific to the former Florida governor, one more generic.

To: C19fanBut many FReepers WANT Jeb to run for prez.
Along with Huck, Mittens, Christie, Paul, and any and all other RINO’s and libertarians.
Oh, and just one conservative – Ted Cruz.
They figure the RINO’s(sic) will self destruct each other and leave Cruz as the victor.

To: Pearls Before SwineThe contest will be between Romney and Bush. That would be good for Conservatives in the primaries as the field of conservatives won’t be eliminating each other while the lefty gope stands in the wings waiting to roll over the later primaries as the only one left standing. I suspect, though, that the contest will be in the RNC et al and will be decided before the primaries. There will be no visible strife. It will all be done with money flows out of sight.

To: 2ndDivisionVetJust no more fricking Bush’s. Anybody else– I don’t much care.
To: SMARTYRepublicans over and over divide on issues and candidates and end up with splinter groups, with poor turn outLiberals AGREE with their party leadership and stand in whole agreement behind their party. of course there are differences ironed out in the beginning. They are united and mostly they win.Over and over Conservatives simply do no vote or stay home. Look at where we are.STOP! repeating the same pattern or there will be another loss. MOGod forbid! God bless America.

Well, Romney thinking of running again – Jebbie thinking of running, period.
Perhaps this is the breakout (well, break back out) year for Our Sarah? Or are they Bailin’ On Palin?

It’s time for a break up.
If you haven’t already seen, Sarah Palin has endorsed Bill Walker and Byron Mallott’s Independent-Democrat “Unity” ticket in the Alaska gubernatorial race over Republican incumbent Sean Parnell. She endorses the Independent-Democrat ticket over the man who was her own lieutenant governor.
Because of this, as far as Republican politics are concerned, I’m finished with Sarah Palin. I have nothing but respect for her has a wife, mother, and grandmother. I pray that, should I ever be faced with the prospect of having to raise a child with Down Syndrome or any other disability, I would have the wisdom to make the kind of decision she made with Trig and that I could bear that cross so gracefully. I must also add, in light of recent events, that I find the media’s treatment of the family brawl despicable, and unlike Carroll Costello, I find assault no laughing matter.
**************************
Sarah is no RINO. because even a RINO would not endorse a liberal.
To: Responsibility2nd
I don’t know enough about Alaska politics to understand her endorsement.
That’s because nobody’s told you what to think about it yet.
But I am not through with Sarah due to an endorsement.
She’s made lots of endorsements of candidates. I can’t say that I always know who they are in different states.
I guess I don’t understand breaking up politically with Sarah due to one endorsement.
Other politicians I have supported have sometimes done things which I didn’t agree with, but I still supported them. It takes a big event to be a game changer, in my opinion. So would love to learn more, as to why she did this, and who are these people on the Alaska unity ticket.

Oh the hypocracy(sic).

To: Responsibility2ndPerhaps Sarah has got spotlight disorder.Once famous it can be difficult to go back to being just an ordinary citizen.Or maybe her former lt. governor sabotaged things we don’t know about.
Either way there are times it is just better to just shut up and not recommend what other people do or vote.8 posted on 10/25/2014 9:56:00 AM by hoosierham (Freedom isn’t free)

Objectively speaking, Sarah Palin figured out that “fame and fortune” lay, not necessarily in winning elections, but in being a professional politico and endorser. That is why she resigned her governorship – because much more money was to be had giving speeches, pontificating on TV, etc.
I lost a lot of respect for her at that time, but would still support her, although I think she has probably burned too many bridges.

To: Responsibility2ndBut (general sense) ‘we’ on the right do that every time ‘we’ scream about principle not mattering, lying about ‘purity’ and then swearing up and down that a cockroach like Cochran will still get our vote “No matter what”.
‘We’ do it all the time, right here on FR in full view of God and country. So it is pure hypocract(sic) to complain about Palin doing what ‘we’ do so we can “WIN!!!”

I’m the last person thats going to pin Palin to Romney Ansel. you ought to know that by now. But she in fact did, much as I hate it, on one sole occasion tell others to vote for the POS. and like it or not, that is indeed an endorsement. My point was that it was blown out of proportion and used to forward liberalism right here on FR.
You don’t like it. I don’t like it. But it is true that she did it one time.

Bristol Palin Describes Drunken Brawl to Police in New Audio [Warning: Explicit Language]
Mediaite ^ | 10/21/2014 | by Matt Wilstein Posted on 10/23/2014 11:37:37 AM by SeekAndFind
Minutes before the final Florida gubernatorial debate was set to air Tuesday evening, Wolf Blitzer broke into CNN’s live coverage to play newly-released audio of Bristol Palin recounting the alleged drunken brawl that took place between members of the Palin family and others at an Alaska snowmobile party last month.
CNN bleeped the numerous curse words in Palin’s statement to police, but according to the transcript posted to the website, here is what the uncensored version appears to be:
“Some lady with gray hair, who wants to push my 20-year-old sister — I’m going to defend my sister, she’s 20 years old. A guy comes out of nowhere and pushes me on the ground, takes me by my feet in my dress — in my thong dress in front of everybody — [and says] ‘Come on you cunt, get the fuck out of here. Come on you slut, get the fuck out of here. I don’t know this guy, I’ve never seen this guy in my life.”
No charges were filed following the incident and the Palin family has not publicly commented about it directly. However, in a Facebook message a week later, Sarah Palin did defend her “strong” daughter, saying, “my kids’ defense of family makes my heart soar!”
Watch video below, via CNN:

RE: Why is a Palin story so important?????
They want to SQUASH all talk of Sarah Palin being a presidential candidate once and for all.
So, a Jerry Springer brawl for the MSM is the perfect way to do it.
So – the brawl was staged by the dread Em Ess Em? Or Jerry Springer?
THEIR IMPLICATION: A Woman who cannot handle her household, cannot handle the nation’s affairs.
As simple as that.

That’s the point, Bristol Palin doesn’t. She’s a train wreck and has been an embarrassment to Sarah since 2008 when she got herself pregnant with a no good louse.

It’s always worth the time to read thru this, Tommy. Thanks.
Thanks, H. I may have to take a short break. I see my posts’ hit stats, but I still don’t feel like people are listening.
I used to post a pic “Leave a comment, or I’ll kill this duck”.
I don’t do that any more.
Can’t believe the freepers are going through the mental gymnastics of nominating either of these clowns.
I can’t imagine if the Wasilla Hillbilly Grifters should again descend on a group and take everything that isn’t nailed down. And the thought of the Quitter from Wasilla running a campaign and seeing it through to the end………
Then there is Jeb trying to run on how good the previous Bush was on the economy ?
Smashing collection of graphics to go with your survey of Freepish ‘tudinizing, Tommy!
The ‘Cognitive Dissonance’ one is especially good.
I take heart that Jeb’s prospects can’t be very good if so many wingnuts can’t stand him. Dubya really did ruin the family brand, it seems. Here’s hoping Geo. P. won’t find a way to do more than spit-polish that turd.
But if you talk about the Bush family brand, besides Dubya, don’t forget Prescott.
Or that the other side of the family is via Barbara PIERCE Bush, as in the Pierce that was a bigger disaster than Dubya.
