Letters From A Tory Daily views on British politics and the Conservative Party from a centre-right thinker who writes letters on his blog to politicians, journalists and many others.

“a charismatic guy with a Teleprompter”
- how Sarah Palin described Barack Obama during her speech at the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville last weekend.  Unfortunately for Palin, though, it seems that Obama is not the only one who needs a little help remembering his lines as Palin was photographed with crib notes written on [...]

“It’s wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news.”
- Sarah Palin, after signing on as a commentator with Fox News.  Just to clarify, that’s Sarah Palin describing Fox News as “fair and balanced”.  She will not have her own show, but will contribute to various news programmes and present an [...]

Meet Michele Bachman, 53, a Republican congresswoman from Minnesota

She lambasts President Barack Obama as a socialist.
She is hated by liberals.
She campaigned vociferously against the economic stimulus package.
She has attacked global warming by saying that carbon dioxide emissions are a natural part of the atmosphere. “Carbon dioxide is not a harmful gas, it is a harmless [...]

Dear Danny Finkelstein,
In your analysis for The Times of what is happening to the Republicans in America, I think you might have stumbled across a problem that many political parties face from time to time on both sides of the Atlantic.  Sarah Palin’s resignation has caused huge consternation among the Republicans, who still seem to [...]

Dear Sarah Palin,
That was supposed to be it, the end, the finale, bye bye.  Your humiliating stint as VP candidate in the Presidential election was supposed to send you a message about your suitability for being one of the most powerful people in the world.  Not only are you refusing to give up on your Presidential ambitions, you’ve dragged [...]

“I’m like, OK God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray. I’m like, don’t let me miss the open door”
- Sarah Palin, saying she will seek God’s guidance on whether to stand for the presidency in 2012

Dear John McCain,
During the numerous post-election conversations I’ve had with colleagues, friends and family, it has been mentioned on several occasions that your concession speech in the early hours of Wednesday morning (UK time) was received very well.  It was humble in tone yet positive in outlook.  Uou resisted any temptation to distract viewers from Obama’s [...]

Dear Sarah Palin,
I don’t know how you do it.  I really don’t know how you do it.  Everytime I have seen you on TV or read about you in the papers, ever since your speech at the Republican convention, I put my head in my hands.  To this day, I have no idea how anyone [...]

They told us she was a maverick.
They told us she was squeaky clean.
They told us she was a reformer.
They told us she would take on corruption inside her own party.
They told us she would clean up Washington.
What they didn’t tell us was that she is just as bad as the rest of them.

Just brilliant.

Dear Sarah Palin,
I really don’t like you very much.  I was astonished, and remain astonished to this day, at how someone could attract so many voters to support their party when they read out one speech with a couple of lame jokes that didn’t talk about policy at all.  So much for the US Presidential [...]

From Sarah Palin’s interview with Charlie Gibson from ABC News:
GIBSON: …you think we have the right to go across the border, with or without the approval of the Pakistani government? To go after terrorists who are in the Waziristan area?
PALIN: I believe that America has to exercise all options in order to stop the terrorists [...]

I remain baffled at how British people can support Sarah Palin given her complete lack of experience and far-right religious views.  However, if any of my blog readers are (like so many others) having inappropriate fantasies about Mrs Palin, I suggest that you don’t miss out on the chance to rub your hands all over [...]
