"So Governor Chris Christie... got caught up with ridiculing a conservative like Sarah Palin on national television. OK, if he likes to play that game. But there is something called class, which he needs to have a lesson about... My point is, show some respect for her. She never uttered a bad word about the governor. He should reciprocate the respect and not let the liberal media frame how he should characterize Palin. One day, Christie will be rudely awakened to a liberal media that will hate his guts. Everything is peachy so far. But just remember what happened to media darling Senator John McCain."

"Last time I checked, Mitt Romney endorsed Karen Handel as well, yet Kingston’s rant was targeted to Sarah Palin... This is the problem with the establishment GOP. They have a foot-in-the-mouth disease when it comes to conservatives... Really, to single out a woman out of all the conservatives that endorsed Handel is beyond the pale."

Cubachi: Palin, sexism, and “mama grizzlies

*
A debate on Twitter over the significance of Sarah Palin’s “Mama Grizzlies” ad inspired a Cubachi blog post titled “Palin, sexism, and “mama grizzlies.” Here are some excerpts:

For me, the ad was indicative that Palin is interested in running for president. Second, I thought what Palin tried to convey in that ad is that all women, young and old, white or black, rich or poor, are the future of politics in America. She personally knows, as a female, that the women’s movement is not about liberal policies and abortion. It is about women getting a fair shake and independence, while caring for their children and their country.

Let’s think about this for a moment. The democrat party has taken the women’s vote for granted. They expect women to side with them and vote democrat down the line. For the most part, the majority of women have voted for democrats. But are the democrats really for independent women or are they for dependent constituencies? I think with this last election, women are realizing that the democrat party is not ideal.

Independent women feel that they have been disenfranchised by both parties.

[...]

Instead of concentrating on winning elections and defeating the left, we have some people in the GOP, either in the establishment republican media or inside the beltway “endorse” Palin to be an RNC chair because she is “not well versed in policy.” Her only attributes are to bring excitement to the GOP and raise money. Basically clerical work. Now isn’t that sexist? Way to cajole women to the party, republicans.

[...]

I know I’ve heard that Mitt knows how to raise money and support candidates ideal for Washington. Well if he is such a genius, why is it that no one in the establishment GOP called for him to be RNC Chair? Because he’s not as great as described perhaps? Or is it because Palin is a threat to his candidacy? I say yes to both...

Cubachi lobbies for a Palin endorsement of Renee Ellmers

*
Blogger Cubachi is just one of many who would welcome a Sarah Palin endorsement for Renee Ellmers in North Carolina's 2nd Congressional District:

Ed Morrissey of Hot Air and The Ed Morrissey Show, had a great interview with Renee Ellmers, who is running against Rob “Who are you” Etheridge. The buffoon who essentially assaulted a kid for asking if he was for the Pelosi agenda. Renee is a great woman, a “Mama Grizzly” who defeated two men in the GOP primary, is a tea party woman, a nurse, and a fan of Sarah Palin. I hope Sarah will give Renee the big endorsement. You can help her campaign here.

From what we know of Nurse Ellmers, she appears to meet the governor's criteria for an endorsement, but Sarah Palin makes her own decisions, and we support her regardless of whom she chooses to support or refrain from endorsing.

Cubachi:

"What is going on to Rand Paul is what is happening to Sarah Palin and the tea parties. All are stalwart conservatives, with libertarian leanings. You can say even more so, with Rand Paul. Because of their huge popularity and following, the media wants to tear them down. Lambaste them with falsehoods of racism, idiocy, inexperience, etc. Since they go against the grain, some in the GOP are afraid of them. So they go on a whisper campaign, to defeat them. We see Mitt Romney’s people, as anonymous sources, sneer at Palin as unqualified for the presidency, when she has more experience than the current president, and was not the idiot who brought us Romneycare, which in turn, brought us Obamacare."
