Axelrod gives RW nuts a new name "Palinistas"
White House senior adviser David Axelrod tells POLITICO, on last night's races: “I don't think these elections reflect any particular national trends, other than the situation within the Republican Party. I certainly think to the extent we're involved, the president probably had something to do with Corzine's revival. … I think the big news in the race was the one that occurred before anybody voted, which was that the Republican nominee was booted off the ballot by the Palinistas. It sends a chilling message to moderate Republicans. ... They're driving folks our way."

4. I agree just look
at the violent and screaming groups of people who are Taliban and Al-queada supporters in the Middle East. Except for the fact that they are mostly of another ethenic group you could super impose Palins's troop of nut cases and they would seem the same.

3. I've read the White House using the term "Palin/Beck" axis too. Here is how it was used:
The White House expects the GOP to do well in 2010 as conservatives interpret the elections of 2009 as a verdict on ideology — the capiatulating, week-kneed ideology of party functionaries. Further, the White House expects Republicans to pick up House seats. This is overdetermined. The White House wants conservatives to think that whatever happens in 2009 and in 2010 has worked for them, because the White House believes that the GOP short-term success will be a mirage — a fiction built on the blown stacks of angry white men in the exurbs and in the South.

The more Republicans find their voice on the right, on what White House officials call the “Palin-Beck” axis, the better Democrats will fare after 2010, when they still should have their majorities, when they should have a sleeve of accomplishments, when it becomes clear that Republicans are unwilling or unable to build a genuine coalition.

10. "palinbeck axis" is the
US' axis of Evil. I mean really..you have these greedy sociopaths who can jerk off words at 90 miles an hour that pander to people's worst craven instincts..and call themselves "christians".

And, the corporatemedia aids and abetts their domestic terrorism.

Thank you, Bill Owens for pulling off that miracle in District 23, New York!

5. Everytime they recognize her at all except to respond off-handedly uninterested
in her, they give her more credibility than she had.

She's a moron no doubt, but Axlerod's cutesy childish responses and name assignments will only give her more floor space, stupid.

6. That's the entire point, duh.
Sarah Palin has approval ratings that rival Dick Cheney's. The point is to make her and Beck and Limbaugh the faces of the Republican party.

11. I guess I don't "see" the logic of wanting your opponent's to be so
intense and hateful and bipartisan in a two party system.

8. I love the term "Palinistas"
Edited on Wed Nov-04-09 12:21 PM by creeksneakers2
Its great payback for the right coining the word "Clintonista." The media picked up the "Clintonista" term too. I'd love to see the media start using the term "Palinista" and watch the RW react to that. I'm going to use the term every chance I get in hopes I'll be continuing to its spread.

9. And, Bill Owens sent a message
to the teabagger cons that the People in District 23 are smarter than they are.
