More Quote of the Day Honorable Mentions, Part 49

*
"Enough is enough!" Edition...

Brices Crossroads at Free Republic:
"As I write this, Sarah Palin-who has not even declared her candidacy-has 1,531,000 friends on Facebook, 22 months before the election. Romney has 283,000 and Huckabee has 213,000. In the 2008 GOP primaries, the top three vote getters (McCain, Romney and Huckabee) garnered 95% of the vote and their collective total was a little over 18.5 million (McCain: 9.8 million; Romney: 4.5 million; Huckabee: 4.2 million). The number of friends Sarah Palin has attracted on Facebook represents about 8.3% of the total votes for all three of the major 2008 contenders combined. Romney's Facebook following is about 1.5% of the total and Huck's is about 1.2%. Sarah Palin's Facebook following is approximately as large as the total vote received by all the GOP candidates (including Thompson, Giuliani and Paul) in the first four contests: Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Michigan (which totaled 1.6 million votes). McCain, the eventual winner, did not even collect 1.5 million votes until the California primary on Super Tuesday, two weeks after he had effectively clinched the nomination in South Carolina and Florida."
Hillbuzz:
"Just about everyone in line told Palin to run for president and said they would help her all the way. She smiled each time she heard it, which makes us wonder how much Palin smiles in an average day, because we bet everyone she meets tells her the same thing. We hope she listens to [them], too, and takes all this to heart because we doubt people like Tim Pawlenty, John Thune, Mitt Romney, or Mitch Daniels [hear] this everywhere they go..."
Dennis the Peasant:
"[Andrew Sullivan]'s off on one of his Sarah Palin jags. Again. And it's still only 2010... As for being ostracized and ridiculed, Andrew, you earned that. Few things have been more distasteful over the past couple of years than your bizarre obsession with Palin's last pregnancy and son's birth. You're in Orly Taitz territory, you fool, and that's why you're being mocked."
Laura Bush in Spoken from the Heart:
"A postscript to the 2004 campaign was that it changed, perhaps irrevocably, how the families, especially the children, of national candidates are treated. The strategy of making Mary Cheney’s private life an issue failed with the voters in November of 2004. But in the years since, it has become acceptable to mock candidates and their families, and other elected officeholders, in highly personal ways; David Letterman feels free to ridicule Sarah Palin’s teenager daughters, and the audience laughs. That is the legacy of the 2004 campaign."
Spunky at SpunkyHomeSchool:
"I was privileged to ask Sarah Palin the first question during a break out session... at the Defending the Dream Summit. I asked her as the mother of a son in the military what advice she'd give to a mom whose son is about ready to leave for Marine Boot Camp? She gave me the same advice she said Cindy McCain gave her, 'Spend a lot of time on your knees' praying for God's hand of protection. Then she told me to thank my son for his 'selfless' service."
Richard Grenell at without the filter:
"In the month of April alone, Brown has launched investigations to embarrass Sarah Palin, aggressively promote union membership, clear ACORN of criminal activities, play catch-up on the Wall Street scandal by trumping up charges against Wall Street giant Moody’s, go after an oil company politically active in defeating California’s new green house gas emissions law, and grab headlines on issues ranging from home foreclosures to former child star Corey Haim’s death. In just one month, Brown has shown that his race for governor starts by using his legal office to help traditional Democratic allies beat back their opponents. The tactics Jerry Brown is using and the public position he is abusing leaves the public with no other choice but to ask Brown to give up his position as the top law enforcement official in California if he is to run an honest campaign for governor."
Gary P. Jackson at The Cypress Times:
"One of the most frustrating things about the modern day Republican Party is, for the most part, they are gutless wonders. Even the ones who you find appealing, the ones that look like they may have some fight in them, will let you down at some point... Only one person has really shown the ability to stand up to the regime and take it to them on a steady basis, and that’s Sarah Palin. The radical left hates her for it. The Obama regime has tried [every] dirty trick in the book, everything it learned from Alinsky, as well as decades immersed [in] Chicago corruption and thuggery, and yet, not only is Sarah still standing, she has gotten stronger."
The Canadian Sentinel:
"You know, if anyone actually had any meaningful, and proven, dirt on Sarah Palin, they'd already have published an explosive book for us to see the proof for ourselves. Wonder why this hasn't happened, yet? Perhaps because the anti-Palin propagandists have nothing on her and have to settle for making up BS to feed to the Big Media to make viral via traditional sources, away from which The People are turning in droves, and aren't going to listen to? People want proof, not smears."
ALa at blonde sagacity:
"Of course it's no surprise the prosecution tried to pass this off as a 'college prank.' This is the son of a DNC State Representative. Imagine this kids...imagine Bristol Palin or Meaghan McCain had hacked into Obama or Biden's emails. College prank or federal crime? Sentencing has yet to be set, but I really hope this little punk gets jail time."
HoosierBoy at Fat in Indiana:
"Sarah Palin is sure dumb... I cannot believe she claimed there were 57 states. How about her health plan that would save employers 3,000%? And now she has shown her lack of international policy expertise by claiming Europe is a country. What a maroon. What? You say that was not the former Governor of Alaska, but our very own current Commander in Chief, the noob in charge, The Obama, hissownself?"
Body Parts:
"In truth, New York City is a stinking sink of national welfare... And the ugly truth, from the point of view of New York City, about Sarah Palin--a bright, vivacious person with nothing fake about her at all, a politically astute, natural leader,a decent person of honest, traditional convictions, who is treading a traditional American path of upward mobility and public service by earning her credentials, rather than inheriting them from family or school--I say, the ugly truth about Sarah Palin from the point of New York City is that such a charismatic person isn't doing it in New York City."
Jerry Fuhrman at From On High:
"I can only imagine how disappointed some in the media must be... that the man who attempted to blow up Times Square with a car bomb wasn't a Sarah Palin lovin' Tea Partier."
Be John Galt:
"NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg was on national news insinuating that the terrorist may be a conservative activist... On Sunday, when it appeared the suspect was a white male, the Huffington Post went on the attack, blaming conservatives and Sarah Palin."
Moneyrunner at The Virginian:
"Our daughter was recently married and a family we have known for decades attended... I was sort of surprised to hear my friend tell me that he voted for Obama. The tipping point for him was McCain's decision to choose Sarah Palin as his running mate. What made him decide that supporting an totally inexperienced man whose close confidants included a racist preacher and the man who bombed the Pentagon versus the successful governor of our largest state is not a subject I wanted to explore during our wedding festivities."
Robin of Berkeley at American Thinker:
"This may be a hidden reason for liberals' contempt for conservatives: They know that you can do stuff they can't, that you can survive when they'd croak, and that you don't need the government -- and they do. Many conservative women -- like the intrepid Sarah Palin -- are more capable, more powerful, and yes, more a 'man' than some of the liberal XY specimens. And the utter shame of this makes them despise you -- and want to render you helpless, too."
