GOP Leaders: Sarah Palin Must be Stopped

Last night, Politico posted an anonymously-sourced story reporting that advisers to top potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates are united in their desire to stop Sarah Palin from winning the presidential nomination out of a fear that she would lose badly in the general election.

"There is a determined, focused establishment effort ... to find a candidate we can coalesce around who can beat Sarah Palin," someone described as a "prominent and longtime Washington Republican" told Politico. "We believe she could get the nomination, but Barack Obama would crush her."

Palin quickly responded to the story on Fox News' "On the Record" last night, criticizing the use of anonymous sources and stating, "The paper that we just printed this article on was not worth even wrapping my king salmon in."...

<snip>

UPDATE: Palin has now sarcastically referred to Politico and other detractors "puppy-kicking, chain-smoking porn producers" in an email to the Daily Caller...

LOVE IT!! Nothing better than Republican infighting on election day!

:rofl:

1. Politico is an Anti-Dentite organization!!

[JuniperLea]

2. Palin is going down!

And it's about bloody well time!

She's burning all her bridges, and pissing off the media too! It points to her stupidity that she thinks this is okay to do... but I'm so happy to see her do it!

:rofl:

Suicide by piss-off! Woot! Her political career is hitting the skids as I type! What a delightful train wreck!

[klook]

3. All the more reason to hope

Palin gets the Repuke nomination.

4. "The paper that we just printed this article on was not worth even wrapping my king salmon in."

Wow. Great sentence structure, Sarah. All those colleges you attended really did some good, eh?

[Barack_America]

5. Seriously. 1. Politico is an online source, 2. Who the hell is this "we"?

[BrklynLiberal]

6. I wonder who writes the barracuda's stuff. I know that she is not writing all that crap.

She is too stupid, even for that.

[Barack_America]

11. They probably outsource it to some third-world, non-English speaking country...

...so that it

1). Sounds more authentically "Sarah"

2). Is cheap

[BrklynLiberal]

15. ROTFLMAO!! Bet you are right!!!

[Luddly Neddite]

7. She's the gift that keeps on giving.

She also said that her Alaska program isn't a "reality show". What the heck - Nothing she does or says is grounded in reality.

Was it Keith who pointed out that most of the Repub candidates are paid entertainers on Fox PAC. How come all of them can attack the entire Muslim religion while being paid and controlled by one?

BTW folks, I'm new here. Been reading for a while but this is my first post. Just want to thank you all for this island of sanity in a very crazy world.

[Barack_America]

9. No. I'm sure her Alaska show will be full of lies. No "reality" there.

Isn't it supposed to portray her as some devoted mother and frontierswoman?

Lie and lie.

ETA: Also, Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Blue_In_AK]

14. Sarah Palin's Alaska is not MY Alaska.

She's a joke.

[Barack_America]

17. God, I hope not.

She's hardly an advocate for the state.

[lillypaddle]

12. Welcome to DU

:hi:

[emulatorloo]

8. So when does Fox get their marching orders? We'll know this is true when Beck starts trashing her.

[Hekate]

10. 5th Rec. Great news. It shows that not all of the GOP is batshit crazy--just power-crazy

:rofl: NOW I want Caribou Barbie to run for president! Yee-haw! And almost get the nom because the GOP has nurtured these anti-American vipers in their bosom for the past 30 years!

May she be crushed to a pulp by her own party.

Word to the wise, Missy Sarah: Stay out of small airplanes.

13. Calling Karl Rove...

Your expert services at fixing elections is needed.

Seriously, there is no way they will allow her to win, no matter how many votes she gets.

[Canuckistanian]

16. They must be stopped from preventing her

Ummm.... yeah, I said that right.

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. They gave birth to her, now they don't want her.

Beautiful.

[Barack_America]

20. Typical GOP pro-life stance. nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

22. Another good reason for being pro-choice

They wouldn't have had to put up with her crap.

[Hubert Flottz]

19. Where's Joe The Plumber's Blue Dress when they need it?

[TheCowsCameHome]

23. Giu911liani was seen oogling it.

[Angry Dragon]

21. She has her base that will never forsake her

She may rip the party apart, that is a good thing.
It may force the republicans to go more left to distance
themselves from her.
