K Street Republicans’ war on Palin

K Street Republicans’ war on Palin “ I’m getting sick of the rewriting of 2008 presidential campaign history as K Street Republicans continue to assault Sarah Palin in the fear that a similarly conservative Republican will rise to the top of the VP sweepstakes. It has been so fashionable in D.C. Republican circles to bash the Palin nomination as a mistake, ill-conceived or even disastrous, that even Dick Cheney has gotten into the act. These self-serving attempts to change history are nothing more than a smear campaign designed to influence the Romney VP pick by obscuring the truth that the choice of Sarah Palin to be the vice presidential nominee was truly inspired. Now, four years later, those very architects and apologists of “too big to fail” policies desperately seek to dissuade presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney from making a similarly bold conservative choice for vice president. Let’s hope Romney remembers history, because if he does, he will know that the choice of Palin was one of the few things the McCain campaign got right. It was McCain’s and President Bush’s abandonment of limited-government, free-market principles that were the ultimate culprit in bringing us four years of Obama — not Sarah Palin.  Read more at NetRightDaily.com: Also a reminder that McCain/Palin were beating Obama in the polls until the (oh so convenient for Obama) 9-18 plane crashed into Wall Street.  McCain suspended his campaign allowing the Dems to front  Obama as the architect of TARP, with McCain tagging along. Today the WSJ editorial  asks "Why Not Paul Ryan?"  Because Romney does not need a policy wonk. He needs Spiro Agnew. Someone who can, and will, put a voice to what everyone is thinking, or at least wondering- Barack Obama is a treasonous liar with so many holes in his (limited) resume  that the phrase Manchurian Candidate actually resonates.  ”
