Wow. Who could have known? Sarah Palin is the new Ronald Reagan??!!

All I can say to the Republicans is: Let your internal blood bath begin. The longer you are down and out and incapable of regaining power, the better for America.

GOP Draws Internal Battle Lines Around Sarah Palin

Jim Nuzzo, a White House aide to the first President Bush, dismissed Mrs Palin’s critics as “cocktail party conservatives” who “give aid and comfort to the enemy”.

He told The Sunday Telegraph: “There’s going to be a bloodbath. A lot of people are going to be excommunicated. David Brooks and David Frum and Peggy Noonan are dead people in the Republican Party. The litmus test will be: where did you stand on Palin?”

Hold it now. They’re serious about going all in with the Palin loyalty test? Uhm…apparently so! Nuzzo adds:

He said: “Win or lose, there is a ready made conservative candidate waiting in the wings. Sarah Palin is not the new Iain Duncan Smith, she is the new Ronald Reagan.”

Sarah Palin in 2012 for President. Yes, I am sure that will restore the Republican party to sanity and glory. True conservatism will triumph at last.

Meantime, here in the Hoosier Heartland, we have some Real Americans (TM) the nation can be proud of for their refusal to participate in the McCain/Palin/Republican Great Slime Machine Robocall Campaign of 2008. Note that in Indiana robocalls are illegal, so the campaign has to pay human beings to make the calls and read the scripts.

Dozens Of Call Center Workers Walk Off Job In Protest Rather Than Read McCain Script Attacking Obama

Some three dozen workers at a telemarketing call center in Indiana walked off the job rather than read an incendiary McCain campaign script attacking Barack Obama, according to two workers at the center and one of their parents.

Nina Williams, a stay-at-home mom in Lake County, Indiana, tells us that her daughter recently called her from her job at the center, upset that she had been asked to read a script attacking Obama for being “dangerously weak on crime,” “coddling criminals,” and for voting against “protecting children from danger.”

Williams’ daughter told her that up to 40 of her co-workers had refused to read the script, and had left the call center after supervisors told them that they would have to either read the call or leave, Williams says. The call center is called Americall, and it’s located in Hobart, IN.
