The GOP vs. Sarah Palin?

Does it seem like the good old boys in the Republican Party have a grudge against Sarah Palin? Karl Rove had assailed her. Many members of the Republican Party have supposedly talked bad about her. Most remain safely anonymous, of course. But the bad blood from many Republican "insiders" and "those in the know" have berated Sarah Palin from the first time John McCain introduced her as his vice-presidential nominee back in 2008.

And supposedly former President George W. Bush weighed in on Sarah Palin.

In a recent article, Tom DeFrank of the 'New York Daily News' writes:

The former president, like his former strategist Karl Rove, has told friends that he doesn't think Palin is qualified to be president and blames McCain for giving her a national platform. "Naming Palin makes Bush think less of McCain as a man," a Republican official familiar with Bush's thinking said.

This doesn't make it into Bush's book "Decision Points" mind you, but this is the kind of crapola that the so-called 'journalists' are putting out there, based upon what 'anonymous sources' from the Republican Party are saying.

Well, today on The Rush Limbaugh Show, George W. Bush called into the show to talk about his new book. And during the course of the interview, Rush asked the former president if he had said these things about Sarah Palin or John McCain. Bush replied, "No, he hadn't!"

So, what Tom DeFrank has done is write another hit piece against Sarah Palin. And just like the Vanity Fair hit piece not too long ago...

The hits just keep on coming.

The real question is: 'Why?'

Why continue quoting anonymous sources when you know that you'll be discovered spreading a lie? Why continue trying to destroy Sarah Palin if she's such a non issue? The left keeps stating that Community Organizer in Chief Obama could defeat her easily in the 2012 presidential election. I would think that the left would be singing her praises in order for her to be the front runner for the Republican Party, to insure that the defeat would take place.

In these hit pieces, they quote people like Glenn Beck, Mark Levin and now even George W. Bush, making these outragious claims of people being against Sarah Palin. And they have all be shot down! So, again, the question remains: 'Why are the leftist writers and bloggers continuing to publish these lies?'

The truth be told, the left is quite afraid that she will be the nominee. And that's because they know that she could destroy any chance of a re-election bid by Obama, or any other Democrat that happened to be running.

The left is afraid that she would turn back any progress they have made and set their agenda back for at least a generation. So that's why they continue to try to destroy her. Sarah Palin is the Republicans best hope to change the course we are on. Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and others would not turn back the course, only prolong the ride.

Sarah Palin would do exactly what Ronald Reagan would be doing if he were alive today; turning liberalism on its ear. Sarah Palin would reduce spending, make the government smaller and more accountable and spread freedom, not taking it away in bits and pieces (like the current administration is doing).

Somewhere between now and 2012, the newly elected Republican Party members of the House and Senate, helped into office by the Tea Party, will have to change the good old boys club in the Republican Party to accept Sarah Palin as a viable candidate for the Oval Office. Otherwise the GOP will risk becoming extinct like the Whig Party of old.

And so long as Sarah Palin is attacked from left-leaning journalists and bloggers, and the cowards in the Republican Party that spread the rumors and innuendos to the reporters (wishing to remain anonymous), the stronger Sarah Palin's resolve will be.

And more and more people will support her!

Soon, I believe that mainstream Americans will see these hit pieces from the loony left for what they truly are - Acts of desperation!

But that's just my opinion, I could be right!
