> [@Clothahump](#): > > Sarah, please stay. We love how you scare the living shit out of the libs. Yes please, stay Sarah stay. Count me in as another die-hard, bleeding-heart liberal who’s not only not scared of Palin, but who WANTS her to run in 2012. Her and Bachman preferably. That would be a wonderful thing, and that’s not sarcasm, I genuinely mean it. I think most liberals/progressives would jump for joy if she ran. > [@Clothahump](#): > > It’s so much fun to watch them run in circles, pull their hair and howl like broke-dick dogs over you. You know what a “broke-dick dog” sounds like? You’ve seen one? Did you cause it? Did you help it? How would a dog get that way? You sound like you have a gleam in your eye and a smirk on your lips at the thought of a “broke-dick dog” howling. I’m sure the imagery was funny to you, but now I’m feeling really really bad for the dog. ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > Sarah, please stay. We love how you scare the living shit out of the libs. It’s so much fun to watch them run in circles, pull their hair and howl like broke-dick dogs over you. Its the idea that the moron just might gather enough backing to become a major candidate; its also the idea that her backers are probably certifiable: that’s the scary part. As to the broke-dick dog imagery, it’s about as sickening an idea as I’ve ever heard and it’s been years since I last encountered it. Do you have a dick that can be broken? Would it be funny if it were? ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > You know, this crap only works half the time online, and _never_ in real life. It’s the equivalent of saying, “If y’all will just stop putting obstacles in the path of the runaway steamroller, it’ll stop on it’s own.” I’ve always thought it didn’t work because you can never get enough people to follow through with it. People enjoy getting mad. ---

Watching Biden eviscerate Bachmann would be almost as delicious as watching Obama’s look of contempt for the process of having to beat a retarded child on national television. ---

I am not afraid of her. I am afraid of Conservatives who want her to be their nominee. If that is the best you have, the cupboard is bare. If she represents your values you are pretty fucked up. If you honestly see her as qualified ,then you don’t take the office of president very seriously. She brings nothing to a campaign. She was hidden by her own party when they realized they made a mistake in nominating her for VP. She embarrassed them and they tried to cover it up. They tried to teach her what to say and she didn’t get it. She was nothing but trouble for her handlers. This is what you want for president? ---

> [@The\_Hamster\_King](#): > > Hahahahahahaha … liberals like me LOVE Sarah Palin. If she gets the Republican nomination in 2012 I’ll be over the moon with glee. Please, more Sarah! Just quoting your post as an example of the idea, so this isn’t directed to just you. But I’m a liberal too, and I don’t have the confidence in the American electorate that many other liberals do. If the last 8+ years have taught me anything (and the 2000 election was the first I was able to vote in), it is to never underestimate the power of large quantities of stupid. If the election were held today, I’d put Palin’s chances of winning at less than 50%, but far from 0. ---

> [@elucidator](#): > > There are people who watched them and thought Palin wiped the floor with him. True enough, but do you think that’s a large enough contingent? I mean she didn’t actually debate, she read a memorized script. At the beginning of it she said she would ignore the questions entirely. ---

She got her first passport in 2007. Two reporters that covered her campaigns wrote “Sarah from Alaska”. They claim the Alaskans were really upset by her quitting governorship. The people were not in tune with her goofy presidential campaign pronouncements , like Obama palling around with terrorists. They wondered who she became so fast. When she returned to Alaska she had to win the people over again. But she brought a new small cabal of handlers that saw Alaska as so yesterday. It was holding her back from her destiny. They think she left for money and ambition. ---

I don’t know why she’d even want to be president at the point. She’d be much more restricted in the money she earns and what she can do or say. I think she must have eyed the cushy gigs Limbaugh and Beck have, being able to say the most outrageous things without account, being adored by morons who believe everything you say, and making bucketloads of money because of it. Why would she give that up? I still hope she runs though. ---

The only people Palin scares are the few remaining sane Republicans. The rest of us are merely annoyed and amused.
