Sarah Palin adn Dumb Conservatives

See previous entries today about how Joe Biden is doing considerably worse than Sarah Palin.  That is not opinion.  That is objective fact. 

 

Now it is true that the mainstream media has had its long knives out for Sarah Palin from the begining--magnifying every mistake she makes--often magnifying mere awkwardness which is not really a mistake at all.  Meanwhile, Democrats and their sycophants in the mainstream media have pretty much glossed over te much worse mistakes of the supposedly more "experienced" Joe Biden.  There is just no excuse for saying "When the stock market crashed, FDR got on television and reassured the American people."  No man who says that is qualified to even be a U.S. Senator.  See my entries today.

 

Yes, there have been all of those internet rumors that there was a secret plan in the works to replace Biden with Hillary Clinton.  That "plan" is plausible because Hillary Clinton was who Obama should have chosen, and would add so much to his ticket.

 

In contrast, McCain did not have any choices that were going to obviously add to his ticket. Democrats were prepared to run against Romney.  Even though I favored Romeny for President, I am not sure he would have been a better VP chocie than Palin--however anyone may be disappointed in her "performance".  Her "failures " in responding to Katie Couric, for example, were failures of evasion.  What regulations has McCain supported in the U.S. Senate?  Give me a break  No human being alive could have answered a question like that, and Palin's only failure is to not assertively and confidently say something like that, or evade so skillfully that it is not obvious she avoided the question.  Hardly important, either way, as to what kind of VP she would make.

 

Now those pervasive rumors about Biden did not make major headlines.  But a single, or a few, "conservatives, come out and say that Palin should step down,. and the mainstream media makes that major headlines (predictably).  Who knows.  The evil, lying, leftist sycophants in the mainstream media may discover that I have withdrawn my support of McCain, and make that a major headline.  Several Clinton backers have thrown their support to McCain without making major mainstream media headlines. 

 

Nope. This is not about reality.  This is about the "long knives" of the mainstream media, and some conservatives with some kind of agenda, even if the agenda is only to enhance their own "reputation" and income.  Let me assure you that their reputation with me is gone for good. 

 

Why do I say that?  I say that because it is STUPID (all caps necessary again) to believe that McCain can drop Palin.  If he drops Palin, he loses.  And anyone suggesting he drop Palin knows that they will get mainstream media coverage. Therefore, that can be the only purpose of them saying something stupid like "Palin should step aside, or be pushed". 

 

McCain has no good options, if Palin is forced out.  He loses.  That simple.  He loses.  So what purpose is there in suggesting that Palin should go, other than to aggrandize the person asserting that?  None. 

 

Nope.  As I say, I am pulling the gloves off in this blog.  I have no problem with anyone who has "constructive" suggestions for Palin, or with anyone who is doing analysis that suggests Palin is failing to help McCain after the initial bump.  But calls for her to go would be like me calling for the impeachment of President Bush (instead of noting he should just shut up).  It has no function, and just exposes the writer as being one dumb conservative.

 

If McCain had a Hillary Clinton in the wings, it might almost make sense.  As it is, it makes no sense at all, even as speculation.  Therefore, I repeat:  Someone calling for this has a personal agenda of some kind, and has no interest at all in actually getting McCain elected (as I don't, of course, which would mean that if I suggested Palin depart it would be to advance an agenda other than the election of McCain).
