This *Is* “Change”

*shudder*

So Palin quit.  What I heard her say was that not only was it taking too high a toll on her family but it was taking too much of AK taxpayer time & $$ to fight it.  And she didn’t believe that was fair nor morally responsible in her position as Governor to continue.

I admire that.  What shakes me to my strappy little sandals is who won in this dealio and how they did it.  The DNC operatives, with full cooperation of the MSM and nutroots, just stood there and threw bushels of bullshiite at her until she had to go away.

And what would prevent them from doing that to any other candidate—for any other office, national to local?

Completely intentional; completely dishonest; and completely impossible to defend against.  Not one—not ONE—“journalist” made any effort to dig into the who/where/what of the “ethics complaint” filers—that we know of.  Not one piece outlining their identity, their baselessness, their pattern, their intent.  Not one youngun, looking for their Big Break story thought to “investigate” how such “corruption” could have gone on unnoticed for the first half of Palin’s governorship and only have come to light after she hit the national scene?  No one was curious how so much bullshite could have been flung—yet none of it stuck?  None? Isn’t that kinda unusual?  Yet no one thought to investigate a big story like that?

Not ONE?  Rly?

Why?  Did someone/anyone start on such a piece and get warned off?  Were the same tactics threatened against them?  Or other, more immediate tactics?

This game-changing tactic, against which we must find a workable, adequate defense, will change the political areana.  But, tell ya the truth, I cannot think of how to fight it.

[That’s not to say politics has not heretofore been dirty—duh.  But a planned barrage of baseless bullshite, each piece of which is winnable on its own merits, but the whole of which, by sheer volume, is not?  Stinks of Cloward-Piven, no?

Palin is toast, insofar as any higher elected office; but anyone else who emerges from the ranks will be open to the same kind of thuggery.  And I imagine, now that it’s worked on the national scale, we will see it on state and local scales.  It’s in the playbook.  It worked.  It will be used.

All we can do, now, is name it in her honor:  being “Palined.”

And, somehow, raise a defense.  Although reason, fact and honor has a tough time in the face of the volume of a maddened hoard of barbarians.

Tacticists?

Perfect weather here today.  I couldn’t get over to MacDill to watch the Blue Angels do their thing, or walk the static line at airfest.  Seals were on hand to do jumps instead of Golden Knights this year.

Instead, the father-in-law needed my help fetching some mulch (80 bags) for his yard.  At least it was nice weather.

She and Charles Johnson decided to go over the cliff hoping everyone would follow.  Nope.  We just point and laugh at how irrelevant they are.

Tomorrow will tell. I have no idea what will happen but for me the fight is not over, ever!!! This is my country dammit.
MCPO is probably on to something but I’m hoping that some dems just said what Pelosi wanted to hear to get her off their backs and will vote the will of the people tomorrow.  I sure hope that’s the case.
MIT - you had some good good points but they were totally obsceured by your avitar… something about supreme court in heels, law of the land but with short skirts, court can be firm, like calfs…

OK, relax folks, I’m alright now. I just pictured Pelosi in heels.
Reality has been restored. (I’m warning ya’ don’t go there, I did and was not fun).

I’ve had a similar conversation with an irate father once.
Thank God I grew up in the gun free zone of Massachusetts. Oh, and I never called it dog.

Did I forget to mention that I have an air pistol. Use the crossman premium .177 pointed pellets.
No noise, checks preditors, easy to deploy. Works for me and gets the message across to both varmits and unwanted guest.
I keep it right by the patio door. Probably my most useful weapon.

I recently reviewed magazine covers in the 9/11 aftermath, and there was plenty of warning there about what was in store for us. :)

--Jack, that’s another great point. I’ve had a couple of less-than-attentive moments walking like coming across a chicken carcass literally on the sidewalk and the dog was on it in less than 2 seconds.......

The anti-freeze now is more commonly safer but people store all kinds of crap that they could and DO get into, too.

I’m gonna have to dig up the pics of the 3 Chiwawas that i took care of once....I was gonna keep one that they thought they were gonna sell. I named him “Antonio Benderesssssss” They decided to keep him which was incredibly for the best.

Not that it would stop them at all, iD.
They just want to figure out how to keep it from getting overturned bt SCOTUS. I just pray they do not have the votes.
