Quote of the Day (January 14, 2010)

*
J.D. Longstreet:
"If the GOP is serious about retaking the Congress and the White House they had better bite the bullet and work with Palin... and the Tea Party — not against them. The tide amongst conservative and Independent voters is toward a conservative replacement for the current occupant of the White House and as many current occupants of the House and Senate as possible. If the GOP goes to war with Palin, the GOP WILL lose- in more ways than one."

J.D. Longstreet takes a second look at Sarah Palin

*
At the Insight on Freedom blog, J.D. Longstreet is one of those conservatives who lost faith in Sarah Palin when she resigned as Governor of Alaska. Now he says it's time to take a second look at the Arctic Fox:
I had written Ms. Palin off as another "also ran". A "has been," a failed "wannabe politician" on the national stage. Now, as a result of the left wing's oh, so obvious fear of this little woman, I am forced to take a second look and reevaluate my most recent negative feelings toward her as a possible candidate for something, or other, either in 2010 or 2012.

[...]

Yes, I am taking a second look at Sarah Palin. If for no other reason than because the mainstream media, which is so biased toward the political left, is expressing such overt fear of her.

When the Left fears the Right, conservatives are doing SOMETHING RIGHT! Is that "RIGHT THING" conservatives are obviously doing... Sarah Palin? I DON'T KNOW! But, you can bet -- I am going to try to find out!
Mr. Longstreet still doesn't understand why the former governor gave up her office. Perhaps if he had followed her career as closely as we have, he would realize that her resignation was actually her liberation.

She had been snared in a Democrat trap of bogus ethics complaints and other tactics which had gummed up the machinery of the governor's office and saddled her with a legal bill over a half million dollars. We hope that with his second look, he comes to realize that had Sarah Palin not resigned, she would not have had the time to write her book, promote it and do all of the other things which he enjoys watching liberals go ballistic about.
