WASHINGTON — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is out, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is in as keynote speaker at a Republican dinner this spring. Palin, the party's 2008 nominee for vice president, had been slated to address the annual Senate-House Dinner in Washington on June 8. The dinner, sponsored by the House and Senate Republican campaign committees, is one of the GOP's biggest fundraisers. Palin will be replaced by Gingrich. Both are popular figures with the party's base. A spokesman for the Senate GOP committee, Brian Walsh, said Palin's team informed the campaign committees that her responsibilities in Alaska prevented her from committing to the speech until the end of the legislative session. "We completely understand and respect Governor Palin's focus on her official state business; however, there is obviously an enormous amount of planning that goes into this annual event. For that reason, we invited and are honored to have former Speaker Newt Gingrich join us as our speaker," Walsh said in an e-mail. A spokeswoman for Palin denied that she had ever confirmed her role as a speaker, even though the NRSC and the NRCC issued a joint press release two weeks ago trumpeting her appearance. "Enthusiasm during a scheduling meeting among SarahPAC members to discuss events that we thought the governor should consider attending was misinterpreted as a confirmation of attendance," Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton said in an e-mail. A GOP official trashed Palin to Fox News and insisted that her camp wasn't telling the truth. "She was a disaster," the source said. "We had confirmation." Palin catapulted to fame last year as Republican presidential candidate John McCain's running mate and is widely believed to be eyeing a presidential bid in 2012. The leadership committee is intended to help serve as a vehicle for Palin's political activities. Asked about possible miscommunications between the leadership committee and the governor's office, Stapleton said: "We are always working hard to make sure the bright line exists between official and unofficial business as we respond to thousands of requests for Governor Palin's time."

Sarah Palin is a "disaster" and Newt Gingrich isn't? Surely they jest.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Palin and Newt represent different aspects of what's wrong with the GOPs. Palin is popular with the stupid faction of the stupid party. Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
I despise the rich Elitist insider and disingenuous SOB Newt much more than Palin, although that isn't saying much..lol. Oh pardon me, but aren't you the same vast that is an obamaphile?? Ignore my last comment while I place you back on bozo.

I won't take any time to detail subtle distinctions between two wormy hacks because the end result would be the same with either in the FedCo CEO seat-the steady shifting of the entire tax burden to wage earners through payroll withholding would continue as corporate rats and their rich buddies who are rolling in "unearned income" from investments would laff like hell on April Fool's Day. (the 15th) If I was a Palin adviser I'd tell her to be very careful what she wishes for because she's right at the age where the sudden increased stress (of the presidency) could age her like The Picture Of Dorian Gray. (And, if those moose burgers go straight to her thighs imagine what having a world class saucier on staff would do to her girlish figure. In no time at all her thighs would match Hillary's ankles. I'm talking the stuff that nightmares are made of, fellas)
Well, I know a bit more about Gingrich than I do about Palin and I just thought it was ironic--if that is the right word--that someone said Palin was a "disaster" but thinks Gingrich is ok. That is ignorance beyond description or measure.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Attempting to place labels on people is a pretty good indicator of laziness if not stupidity (I apologize if I offended). As for Obama vs... who? Just imagine America with McCain at the controls. Holy Krishnamurti!!!! If Bush was a stinky plague inflicted upon America and the world, and he was, Obama qualifies for a Godsend.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
The biggest difference between your boy and Bush is their color. Obama has gone along with the establishment insiders on the wars, spending money we don't have and everything else. No better than Bush and in some respects even worse. But then, that is not surprising, they get worse with every election (and no, I wasn't for McCain either--I have always pulled for an actual American to win and Obama and McCain are not).
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Of course, you were underscoring the absurd anti logic of a troo beeleever and your point was a damned good one. And, my views as someone with a universal disdain for all supporters of "good Dems and Pubs" were not really germane to the discussion. ("The goddam Germans ain't got nuthin to do with it!" Sheriff Buford T. Justice) I didn't mean to imply that your post caused any confusion or warranted any explanation/validation. I was simply using your post as an excuse to butt in with an unfunny non-sequitur. By way of explanation I guess the stress is starting to show as I scratch for diversions in the losing battle to cling to what I laughingly think of as my sanity.
We're in a "Catch-22" situation: Palin may be a person who honestly wants to return to Constitutional ways - no one can be sure. BUT - if she we're to seek and win the GOP nod, she would have to put aside any ideas like that (if she had them) Newt? Well, he's already shown what HE is
"If elections changed anything, they would be illegal"
as in anti-christ ;)
Sarah Palin is a "disaster" and Newt Gingrich isn't? Surely they jest. Translation: She is not under the control of the elites and is very popular with the Religious Right. Sarah Palin is a bit of a "Wild Card". She was brought in to help make the McLame loss look more convincing but ended up developing a following and being more of a positive than anticipated. Without McLame on the ticket it is likely that Sarah Palin could have beat Oh'bummer in the (s)Election and the elites manipulating the show realize it. Thus she has to be destroyed. I think she is bright enough to figure out how she was used and it pissed her off.

If Bush was a stinky plague inflicted upon America and the world, and he was, Obama qualifies for a Godsend. Back into the Shill Rotation I see. The others use up their credibility so now it is your turn to come back and prevent intelligent discussion? How much do you get paid? Do you have a Retirement Plan? Hellth Insurance? All the Prozac you can eat? Oh, and McCain would have been better simply because he could not have gotten away with the same level of criminal activity that Oh'bummer is engaging in as he helps to rape the treasury and enslave the nation in debt.

Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I can't believ you said this. Are you playing with a full deck? She's a bugwit at best and an israhell firster. Please don't vote in future elections, not that they matter, but we need a real American as James Deaffenbech pointed out in #7 above.Someone the PTB don't own.

Great post. That will leave a mark or would if it had been posted to a sentient being. I would ping him out of courtesy but he has me on bozo and never replies to anything I post to him anyway.

Newt is a scheming wannabe insider still on the outside who would do just about anything to grab power for power's own sake.
