Republican Intellectual Elite My Ass

Republicans Ponder Path to Renewal After Party Suffers a Harsh Setback

I love being lectured to by fu**-ups.

“ Complicating the coming fight is a widening gap between the party's grass-roots activists and its intellectual elite. Gov. Palin sits squarely in the center of the debate. Embraced by many social conservatives in the party's base, she was dismissed by some party leaders, including some former government officials who endorsed Democrat Barack Obama. Activists see her as the party's future, others as a novice whose at-times shaky performance has doomed her prospects -- a split reflected in polls that showed her popularity dropping during the general election, but her supporters' enthusiasm high. [WSJ] . This is just too much.  I propose that "party leaders (Scott McClellan?!)" who endorsed Obama, aren't.  "Intellectual elite?"  Nobody who endorsed Obama deserves inclusion in Intellectual anything.  Not unless those flibbertigibbets can cut through the Gordian Knot - what accomplishment was  it that recommended Obama to them as president?  It was they who ignored every honest Pat Toomey that came along, in favor of the "moderate" Arlen Sphinter equivalent.  It was they who gave us John McCain! Dismissing Sarah Palin as a "populist," is too cute.  And therein lies the prollem.  These slugs can no longer tell the difference between Ronald Reagan and Joe Biden. At this moment in time Sarah Palin is the titular head of the Republican Party, and deniers do so at the risk of being the next Chuck Hagel. ”
