Juan Williams sees Rove-vs.-Palin ‘civil war’ inside GOP

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/11/williams-sees-rove-palin-gop-civil-war/

By David Edwards
Sunday, November 7th, 2010 -- 2:27 pm

The midterm elections brought big wins for the Republicans but they also exposed fractures within the party. Fox News' Juan Williams described Sunday what he called a "civil war" between the establishment Republicans and the tea party.

"I think there is a civil war of sorts going on," Williams said. "We don't talk about it much -- between the Republican establishment and tea party people. It's Sarah Palin Karl Rove if you want to personify it."

In no place were the divisions as obvious during the mid-term elections as they were with opinions on Christine O'Donnell, the GOP's Senate candidate in Delaware.

4. That's bull ----. The republicans are in lockstep and organized. They didn't take 60 House seats
Edited on Sun Nov-07-10 01:51 PM by AlinPA
and a hell of a lot of state legislatures and senates and governorships without being organized. The civil war talk is just cable news chatter. The one senate seat candidate in DE does not mean civil war for them. The media is an integral part of the organization.

9. Are the Dems. organized enough to start really beefing up the Dem. news media?
It's about time Dems. realized what a powerful weapon the
news media is in getting the people's votes.

10. Hell no. We work like hell on the streets to get votes and don't see any fight in the
party "leadership". Tim Kaine is a leader? Harry Reid?

18. Working in the streets is one way of getting more votes, and
bombarding the people with information that positive for the Democrats
is another. I think this second method is more powerful and effective.
But why not use all the ways and means available to us?

7. There may be a winning point here.
FAR more people on that end of the spectrum fancy themselves in bed with sarah palin than with kkkarl rove. That's the main thing that's keeping people like john mcsame and pat buchanan alive these days! And buchanan even has a runner-up fantasy girl in christine o'donnell in case he can't get to first base with sister sarah. You can see it and hear it in his castrati voice when he's on camera hyperventilating about how wonderful these women are. Guys like him are just wankers for the whack-job women. Very likely going home or to the men's room to whack off to fantasies about the whack-job women.

8. Did you see Noonan's column in which she calls Palin a
Nincompoop??

Weekly Standard Panel on C-span (Sat.evening) most
panelists were taking shots at Palin.

I wondered what is going on???

12. Well, fewer women than men are taken in by palin.
Edited on Sun Nov-07-10 03:30 PM by calimary
I don't know ONE woman who supports her. And that includes conservative women I know. They all find her revolting. A friend of mine from Alaska, whose husband is even more radically conservative than she is, still told me before the 2008 election that palin is "gonna set the women's movement back 50 years." And she said it while shaking her head in disgust. Even SHE didn't like sarah palin.

It's mainly men who are into sarah palin, especially dirty old men like john mcsame and pat buchanan, because most of them fantasize about being in bed with her. And the younger ones, too. Remember rich lowery hyperventilating about her after the Vice Presidential debate - when he found himself becoming convinced that she was really winking at him? They're all in love. They're "thinking" with their "other heads" when it comes to sarah palin. She's getting by on her looks. She'll be able to do so for awhile longer because she's still young enough. Don't know if she'll seek plastic surgery in a year or two to keep the jowls and the crow's feet away (she probably already uses Botox and Juvederm and other stuff), but it wouldn't surprise me. Her looks are her biggest weapon because her looks give her all kinds of face time and purty pictures on camera and on the front pages and in the magazines, especially to most of America that is visually-oriented. Look where she works - Pox Noise - where every woman except greta van susteren looks like a blow-up sex toy doll. If she looked like Margaret Thatcher she'd have none of this ardent support, OR this much face time on camera.

13. Sarah Palin is less popular in Alaska than Barack Obama,
Edited on Sun Nov-07-10 03:33 PM by Blue_In_AK
and that's saying something. She has been and will continue to be as divisive in the national Republican Party as she was here. She has no loyalty to the Republican Party -- her loyalty is to herself.

16. I think my Alaskan friend figured that out. Her husband - probably not so much.
But she sure did. And everything I hear and read from the media and blogs and people in Alaska indicates they seriously don't like quitters. And unfortunately for palin, regardless how she tried to spin it, that's what she is. That went over like a ton of turkey shit up there.

14. There won't be a civil war. She will be escorted to exit along with the others for Jeb.
MIke Pence just removed his name from 2012 as well.

It's all here: http://journals.democraticunderground.com/David%20Zephyr/78
