Sarah, the presumptive Republican nominee for GOP in 2012...I like the sound of that.
You go girl.

The GOP will have to have another Sarah type as VP nominee to try to hold together the trailer trash base, but President?

That'll be Mittsy or Pawlenty or some other moderate who will make the base want to puke.

He should know what a looser looks like.

I can't imagine her being the candidate.

But if not her, then who is it going to be?

let's see yours mon. I'm sure you don't have any nuts to show. You libs just can't help yourselves. You have to make personal attacks because you don't have the brains to attack her values.

Even if she was a sort of "sacrificial lamb" i.e. the GOP doesn't want a serious candidate in '12 because they think they'll lose anyway, she'd even be bad for that, because they would lose by such a large margin as to discredit the party even more than they already have.

But if not her, then who is it going to be?

It's so far away, politically.

If I had to guess I would predict either Romney or Pawlenty.

Murphy is on the ground convulsing, and takeitz is having a serious discussion with god about this, and the dialogue is two ways!!

LM

The phonycons are going to push Palin for 2012.....UGH. Why would any self respecting conservative vote for her? I mean come on, she just QUIT the very important office of Governor of Alaska. Just like a little girl, the going gets tough and she has a hissy/pussy fit.

Personal attacks? OH MY! [sniff, sniff]

I wonder WHERE I learned that?!...

This guy is a real expert on who can and can't win isn't he? Look at his track record and you can see he knows what he is talking about. He has to go on the Clinton News Network to get someone to listen to him! A real professional!

Republican voters are the Party of the Southern Grits and Redneck Knuckle Draggers.

The GOP resides in country clubs and laughs at those poor stupid SOBs they've scared into voting against their own self interests.

With the little o's record so far? At the rate he is going along with nancy and harry, there isn't a chance in hell he will get re-elected to a second term.

A lot could change in three years, but one thing that is not going to change is the fact that Palin contributed in 2008 to the defeat of an old white war hero and experienced senator who lost to a young black inexperienced senator from Chicago.

There will come a point when the GOP will have to wipe the smirk of disbelief off their chins and ask themselves why they lost. They can't afford to remain in a state of denial for the next three years and if health care reforms don't pass with their blessing, the majority who want it aren't going to play ball with them next time around either. Palin may well be the sacrificial lamb because she is dumb enough to run. I am certain once her book is out the dems will massacre her with her own words so bad that she may well retire to be Wasalla High School's junior soccer coach.

God says Sarah Palin will ride into power with the Horsseman of the Apocalypse and who will then trample the heathen Obamites beneath their hooves and you shall reap the whirlwind with bitterness and agony!

--Takeitsleazy

She may well get hammered in 2012 if she runs... but only because the media would see to it that it happened that way, and not because she is incompetent as the media worked overtime to have us speciously believe. Sarah is the left's (and media's) worst nightmare due to the fact that she's everything the left *says* they would want except... she's a conservative. Not a middle of the road conservative either; a real true conservative. And that my friends would do this country well.

"At the rate he is going along with nancy and harry, there isn't a chance in hell he will get re-elected to a second term."

Nominate Sarah Palin and Obama wouldn't even have to campaign.

Palin doesn't stand a chance, and the Dems just like to keep her in the news as a piata to show Repubs as crazy.

It won't be her. It'll be Romney, or someone we haven't seen too much of yet. Kinda like Clinton came on at the last when he won the presidency.

I don't think the Republicans count themselves out on '12 though. There's still a lot of ground to cover for Obama, and he's stumbled a lot so far in the eyes of the independents.

"Sarah is the left's (and media's) worst nightmare due to the fact that she's everything the left *says* they would want except... she's a conservative."

What are you smoking???? Sarah (the quitter) Palin is a joke, the right wing nuts just don't get it. The rest of the nation laughs at her.

"Sarah is the left's (and media's) worst nightmare due to the fact that she's everything the left *says* they would want except... she's a conservative. "

Not really. No one on the left wants someone like Sarah! representing us. She is clearly the lightest of the lightweights and makes Dan Quayle look like a candidate for Mensa. We don't fear her at all, she is a joke, pure and simple.

The fear that we do have is that somehow she manages to rise to higher office. That would make this country a laughing stock internationally and her incompetence and inability would be terrible for our country.

Mitt Romney will be the REpublican nominee in 2012 and he won't pick an idiot like Palin for Vee Pee.
Depending on the economy he could be a threat but, as I see it, he is the only Republican today that could be. Pawlenty is not already campaigning but I just don't think he is going to excite anyone about his candidacy. And if Obama and the Dems pass health care, believe it, Romney will be there claiming they have copied the model from Mass., which they seem to be doint to a point. He is being pretty smart now keeping his head down and staying out of the teabag parties and other extremist groups.

And that is why they lost the election to the little o. Red dog reps are killing the party. There is no difference between them and the blue dog dems.

By 2012, Obama will be regarded as such a failure that WHOEVER the Republicans put up will be elected, to go along with turning over the House and Senate to Republican control. That will be the only way the will of the people will be met - to undo the damage to the USA caused by the Democrats.

Reagan was no Rhodes scholar, but his values represented the best of the USA, and that rubbed off on the populace and led to many benefits. Sarah Palin has the same potential, and that's what scares the shit out of the liberals. So they resort to the same old personal attacks. Huh huh huh, Palin, huh huh huh. Stupid, huh huh huh. Alaska, huh huh huh.

Look where genius statesman Obama has gotten us...

MOOSE MAMA!!

Reagan was no Rhodes scholar

Rhodes jellybean?

but his values represented the best of the USA

Greed, corruption, cowardice, lying are the best of the USA?

Dinseydoodle has to be a spoofer. No one is THAT stupid.

The moosefart will raise far more money from Democrats than from her white trash base if she enters the Presidential primaries.

That tells you how much we 'fear' her!!!

Sounds like Rush Limbaugh in 1993 with his "America Held Hostage" schtick counting down the days to the end of the Clinton presidency. Seems that events in 1996 didn't go quite as expected.

...he's still not finished cleaning up after Bush,
this is Bush's recession,
Bush started the bailouts to save his Wall Street pigs, after he allowed them to screw up the banking and investment systems,
started two wars that Obama inherited
Bush did nothing about healthcare except gave the drug industry a competition-free windfall
....so before Obama wears this mess, give him a chance to clean up Bush's....

....and Bush's prick Repub Senators & Congressmen are obstructing efforts to fix their years of majority mess.....

He crashed and burned because of Palin. I know for a fact he lost my vote the moment he picked her. Prior to that, I was undecided between the two.

Better to pick someone like Romney or an unknown. Hell, if republicans pick someone sensible, who isn't associated with the teabaggers or birthers, and who isn't shown to be some giant hypocrite on nearly every issue like so many are, I might even support them. But the way their base is acting, spitting blood angry, I'm not going to hold my breath.

Fuck, if Palin gets the nod, I might even vote for Obama myself.

And that is why the leftists are terrified of SP :)

#53 | Posted by zulu

Who keeps telling you that?

You should be mad at them for making you look so stupid in front of people.

Seriously. Who is it?

The man who ran John McCain's presidential campaign warned Friday that Sarah Palin could lead to a 'catastrophic' election result for the GOP in 2012

if not for Sarah Palin, McCain's 2008 campaign would'a been OVER .. SCREWED .. FINISIMO .. STICK A FORK IN IT, IT'S DONE - - 4 months before the election was ever held

I'll tell you what scares the Left.

What scares the Left is that the Right might start putting a value on quality education in their candidates.

That the Right may one day elect someone with more than a 4 year degree from a school people have heard of.

That the Right may one day view intelligence favorably and elect someone who possesses it.

What the Left fears is that Republicans elect a competent individual to lead them out of the desert they are wandering aimlessly in.

That the Right put their quest for mediocrity aside for the better of America as a whole and not the select group of rednecks they currently pander to.

The Left fears that the Right might finally wake up and pull their collective heads out of their ass and actually contribute to this great nation instead of continuing to hold us back and prevent progress.

And trust me, Sarah Palin has absolutely NOTHING to do with any of these.

With a sense of guilt because yeah, I'm another lib flocking to another Palin thread:

But yeah, Sarah is a joke. A sick joke. So are Beck, O'Liely and Hannity, Malkin, Coulter and Cal Thomas, George Bush, Dan Quayle, Clarence Thomas, Governor Sanford and the ugly Carolinian who hollered "liar." Let's not forget Ms. Bachmann, darling of the death panels and birther crowd.

Jindal, Romney, and Pawlenty aren't nearly as funny, but are way too drab to constitute a threat to the Big O in 2012. It will be Hillary in 2016 ... unless Rachel Maddow decides to run. herm

2012 how apropos, the apocalypse!

"Reagan was no Rhodes scholar"

At least he had the smarts not to be made a fool of by the likes of Katie Couric...

Her campaign slogan is gonna be,

'When a bear catches a salmon, um, I like salmon, by golly, how 'bout you?'

as has been said before - - -
after gettin' screwed by Barry & Co, for 4 yrs - - -

people will vote for the Geico gecko if he runs

And this coming from the aide of a loser.

'people will vote for the Geico gecko if he runs'

At least everyone knows the Geico is a made up construct of focus groups, a lot of people actually still believe Barry is a coherent life form capable of original thought.

But those people who support Barry still have their faith, and their faith is strong.

if not for Sarah Palin, McCain's 2008 campaign would'a been OVER .. SCREWED .. FINISIMO .. STICK A FORK IN IT, IT'S DONE - - 4 months before the election was ever held

McLost was 5 points up on Obama before SARAH!! became a public joke. McLost should have put his ego in a lock box and gone with Romney or even Huckleberry if he wanted to win. Instead he got all mavericky and picked someone he didn't know, with no experience, no skills and a shaky background.

Let's wipe away revisionism. McCain had a chance with SP.

"The impact of SP on the McCain campaign was huge, and it provokes the MSM to instantly go into attack mode. The heavily Liberal Legacy Media is still on the attack against Palin, and the bias is easily detected."

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner is part of the MSM?!? The what?!

And please tell me, does "down to earth" to you really have to sound like "incoherent verbal bumbler"? I don't actually think she is dumb, but seriously mishandled (and misguided?), but she sure _sounds_ dumb. And I seriously don't get the quitty fish action. The ultimate in maverickiness?

Okay, that was a bit much. But really. I don't get it. I'm not scared. Unless the county actually flips to Palin. That this country could go majority-Palin... But maybe that's how the Obama critics feel--exactly how they feel.

'But maybe that's how the Obama critics feel--exactly how they feel. '

You betcha they do.

The whole Palin diversion is what the dems did in the 80's: pretend to fight. Palin is a loser and the pubs have no viable winner right now. She is Dukkakis, a woefully underqualified governor.
But the 80's dems also suppressed their most talented (thanks to Ted Kennedy) like Sam Nunn. The pubs these days are doing the same by letting the "Dacron Republican-Democrat" (an old National Lampoon newspaper parody) wing of the party once run by Dole and now by McCain decide the next "viable" candidate.
May both parties discover the winning way: lower taxes by destroying the federal regulatory anthive, let morality (including gay marriage and abortion, drug use and pornography) be entirely up to states to decide (what happens in Peoria stays in Peoria); and get your f#cking homo bedrooms out of my morning newspaper. I'm trying to eat and you assholes keep making normal people sick. Go ahead and vote for whomever you want. Just get out of my face.

This all coming from the guy who crashed and burned in 2008!

This can only mean that Sarah Palin will be an excellent choice for Republicans in 2012, because anyone that a proven LOSER dislikes, must be good.

Because presumably Palin isn't also a "proven LOSER"?

Yer "ill" logic.

Let Spud show it to you.

Be Well.

Sarah Palin would have to sell out to every special interest group in the world to get the kind of money it takes to run a presidential campaign.

So, yes, it's true . . . in that respect she'd make an ideal GOP nominee.

Except for one little thing. The leftovers from the PNAC boiz are still searching their ranks for another incurious soul who will pick up their mantra and carry it out to it's fruition.

Sarah Palin may not be much but I don't see her being that cooperative or that easy to handle. It's a lesson the neo-cons learned when George Bush suddenly learned that he was the "decider-er" and stopped listening to Dick Cheney.

Sarah Palin might not be smart but she's not crazy either. It's the neo-cons she has to fear . . . not the Democrats.

Karl Rove, the biggest neo-con of them all, speaking through the mouth of Steve Schmidt, has been giving her fair warnings ever since this subject came up.

But as I said, she's not very smart.

2012 is not that far off and airplanes crash all the time. If I was Palin I think I'd stick with the radio/TV female shock jock thing. It sounds safer and pays better money.

It's the neo-cons she has to fear . . . not the Democrats.

Strewth.

Don't tell that to her deluded base though...

Oh wait, you just did.

NVM.

*walks off whistling *

Be Well.

Oh com'on SPUD

You can't delude the delusional or the psychotically persistent.

They'd probably say I was jealous of her tits . . . or some such thing.

The PNAC boiz wouldn't dream of doing anything nasty, doncha know? /snark

McCain is fucked in 2012 no more democratic picks. from now on democrats are dog food.

......the Gopiggies, instead of thanking Obama...are now biting the hand that saved them....

......Obama was too nice and too caring......

.....even now.....he is trying his best to work a non-partisan healthcare bill that will save millions of Americans over its life-time.....

go eat another box of ho ho's and pretend to "werk hard"

After reading through the thread, once everybody had a say, I can only conclude that the pubbies have no real leadership anymore, what so ever. Palin clearly is not their best shot, but it's all they have who's been able to get the press interested enough to even follow. Her remarks about death panels and cap and trade alone demonstrate that she is not well educated. She is trigger happy to block legislation that benefits the majority of Americans and supports only legislation that benefits special interests. She is supported by a block of voters who stood by idle while their choice wrecked the economy, drug the country into the wars that never end, built a prison system for FEMA to control the masses by force and and did nothing to stem the tide of illegal immigration.

Palin is a classic example of a poster child candidate that can only become a president by accident, which is one of the main reasons Americans elected Obama.

The fear that we do have is that somehow she manages to rise to higher office. That would make this country a laughing stock internationally and her incompetence and inability would be terrible for our country.

Legio - those people voted for your boy....remember " I ain't gots to pay mah moegage no mo! I ain't got's to put gas in mah tank no mo!" Funny, She didn't look like she voted Republican...but she damn sure fits the description you list above.

As far as lazy goes...let me give you a short profile. In Kansas, a small white rural town is DESTROYED by a tornado. Within a week the people have returned and are in the process of rebuilding THEIR HOMES. They didn't loot, they didn't shit in the street, they didn't shoot at military helicopters, etc. Contrast that with New Orleans. The city defecated, and certain folks...obviously not members of the Republican party...sat on their collective asses and to this day have yet to try to put forth any more effort than it takes to go to the mail box to "get deh check."

Sorry to interrupt your stereotype with glaring facts...you may now return to fantasy land and the Chicago Olympics.

You are full of shit a_citizen. I would like to see the good citizens of Kansas rebuild hundreds of miles of levees and pump billions of gallons of water out of their town without government help. Typical short sighted ignorant republican comment.

As for legio, WTF is you problem now? Would you rather the President supported a foreign country to host the Olympics? What would your stupid ass reply be then? Did you hear about any other US cities in contention? Obama gave it his best shot even though it was a long shot. What are you going to do, shoot him down for that now? You best go back to where ever it was your kind came from because it ain't the America I know.

"I'm the mayor, I can do whatever I want until the courts tell me I can't.'" --Sarah Palin, as quoted by former City Council Member Nick Carney, after he raised objections about the $50,000 she spent renovating the mayor's office without approval of the city council

This is what happens when people without a clue about political science get elected to public office.

This is how we ended up with 8 years of GW Bush. This is also how we ended up with Obama. You republicans have only yourself to blame. The majority of Americans disagreed.

As for legio, WTF is you problem now? Would you rather the President supported a foreign country to host the Olympics?

McCain and his bunch of losers just can't get over the fact that Sarah was the ONLY thing that gave his campaign any life. McCain himself lost the election when he suspended his campaign to go back to Washington and "save" us all by voting for that bullshit bail-out of Goldman Sachs and Paulson's other buddies on Wall Street. If McCain had told Wall Street and Goldman Sachs to stuff it, he would have won the election and we wouldn't still be in this double digit unemployment, black hole recession that obama is determined to keep us in for his own purposes.

Yet, for the McCainites it must be tough to be so bitter and feel forced to project blame on someone else for your own mistakes. These losers would do well to Get off Sarah's back; they had their turn and screwed it over themselves.

"McCain Aide: Palin Would Be 'Catastrophic' in 2012"

Ha ha. She was in 2008 for the McCain campaign. I'd love to see the star of the Republican Party run for the whole enchilada in 2012. In fact, I'd vote for her in the primaries to help ensure that happens.

Palin was the reason I voted for Obama. I was going to write in Paris Hilton. I'm so sorry I didn't.

Paris Hilton would be a huge step up from Obama; at least she knows she's an empty suit/dress/bakini and not some savior of the unwashed masses.
