Really Robb? I think you are full of shit when you say that. You can't possibly be unaware of her monumental stupidity.
Then we have the whole "palin' around with terrorists" line from her campaign speeches.
Then we have the FACT that Alaska is the most socialist state in the union (they declared that the oil was the property of the collective and they distribute some of the money to every resident of the state), while she accuses others of being socialists(as if being a socialist is a bad thing in and of itself).
Then we have her comments about "real americans"....
I could go on.
I'd spit in her fucking pig-ignorant face if I ever saw her.
The McCain people hate her because she almost singlehandedly lost the election for them. Her on and off camera behavior is laughable. Foreign policy experience because she can see Russia? WTF? Her husband was a member of a political party that advocates treason, for seven years, and she spoke at one of their conventions... but she wanted McCain's campaign manager to LIE about a thing that no reporter had ever asked her about, because some people were blogging about it.
From a pragmatic point of view though I'm with Kil. Sarah Palin is pure political gold, for democrats.

Heh, yeah. That's why I left the typo in. I was determined to get somebody to open a link. All too many don't bother. 
To me, Palin has become a nebbish with good legs and a lot of noise. Unless she can make a radical change in her ways, hardly likely, she will become a political corpse, of interest only to historians. But for now, it's fun to watch the yammer-heads such as Coulter and Hannity orgasmicly laud her decision to beat-feet from the AK governor's shack, to the benefit of that state.
I too, think it was a good decision, but for different reasons. She clearly is not up to holding the office, and possibly, and finally, realized it.
"Iquitarod" indeed!

Don't be disingenuous Robb.
You know that it goes deeper than that (although, because we do consider many of these views to be dangerous and/or retarded, they are part of the problem -I don't like apocalyptic nutjobs).
But, she has also proven herself to be of limited intelligence and very low competence, and proud of her ignorance.
She has proven to be lying and hypocritical as a matter of course (bridge to nowhere; asking the McCain's campaign to lie about her husband secessionist past).
She has backstabed people on a whim, the former Alasaka governor she replaced, McCain.
And levelled very grave and unfounded accusations ('Paling around with terrorists'?) and no, Obama's camp did not do the same. They never accused anybody of such a serious crime as actively helping terrorism.
She has shown her authoritarian streak by firing that Wassila librarian, threatening journalists and bloggers with law-suit.
She has thrown her family under the spotlights to milk some publicity and then cried bloody murder when the media's reporting was not to her liking...
In short, she is a self-serving, self-righteous lying hypocrite. And not a very bright one at that.
And THEN there is the fact that many of her ideas are abhorrent to me. |

Guess what, Robb? There are people out there who think that Palin is too liberal. Guess who?
Courtesy of Ed Brayton.
The quote is from the WingNutDaily article itself:
It has been said that part of Palin's appeal is that her family is like so many other families. She is today's American woman, who works outside the home and does it all. Whose daughters get pregnant out-of-wedlock. Whose husbands wear the aprons.
Have we gone insane? Is this something to celebrate?
There are certainly some valid reasons to support Sarah Palin. Her passion for the unborn is refreshing. Her strong support of Second Amendment gun rights is vital to our personal and national security. But her easy dismissal of the value of being at the center of a home and her children's lives seems antithetical to true, conservative "family values." |
Ed translates and summarizes their article very well: | Let me translate all that for you: "Get back in the kitchen where you belong!" |

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.
Another example of this guy's lunacy here. |

Something that I don't understand; how is Sarah Palin the potential "next" Reagan. All they really have in common is the stupidity and a sad lack of ethics. Or is that alone enough?
| Has America become so emasculated that our only hope of getting another Ronald Reagan into the Oval Office is to idolize Palin as a political Madonna? Hardly. |

Ruthless economic politic;
Dumbed down religion cheap patriotism and foreign policy posturing rather than well reasoned policy.
It doesn't take much to be a 'great neo-con president'. |
