I come in contact with a specific social group of a middle to upper class people who are the prime target of that slut’s voting target.
She’ll get a lot of votes if she runs. That’s another indicator of the pathetic state of the US voting public, along with the voters for both Bush, Reagan, and that Austrian piece of trash in California.
No, the half a term-inator
Please don’t call her a slut. That doesn’t help.
I think the Soup show in ET tv said that she is not using Twitter, but a new social network tool called Quitter
That trick never works!
Did you try stepping to the right? Where were your hands?
A mendicant.
You can do that.
You can denounce others for being “socialist”
You don’t get to do both of the above.
I so want to see her in an actual debate.
The downside is that there don’t seem to be any serious Republicans of any intellectual heft.
Not sure whether or not I would bet on her being totally embarassed and blown out of the water, or that the others would go easy on her just so they don’t look like bullies. I would hope to god they would just go as hard on her as they would on anyone else and show the true depths of her ignorance and stupidity.
You should be weeping for America, where they want to cut educational funding to balance the budget. After all, how can investing in education get you anywhere? If you educate people better they won’t be so easily snowed by shite like Sarah-ultimate attention whore-Palin routinely spew.
When your racists can’t even spell ‘moron’ it’s definitely time for some change. She is a fair representation of America, in my eyes though. Where it’s all about how she’s doable, and wears the right clothes!
I actually didn’t think her performance against Biden was all that embarrassing, even though she mainly just repeated her rehearsed talking points. The damage had already been done, though.
We’ve seen it. Remember?
elbows we 'Muricans aren’t all like that, aren’t always like that, and we are not the only country with embarrassing politicians.
Recall that the McCain/Plain ticket lost the 2008 presidential election. McCain announced Palin as the VP pick on August 29, 2008 (cite). This graphic of polls during the election shows a brief spike in favor of McCain right after the Palin announcement, falling rapidly in the two weeks after (which included the Labor Day holiday in the US), and then never recovering. McCain took a gamble on Palin, a last-ditch roll of the dice, a game-changer, but he bet on the wrong person and his campaign never recovered. The graphic shows the election was lost to McCain by the end of September - within 30 calendar days of his decision/gamble/impulse on Palin.
McCain had a lot of ground to make up in the 2008 election, but IMNAAHO he wasted the time between when he locked up the Republican nomination in March and when Obama sewed up the Democratic nomination in June. McCain seems to think of himself as a “maverick” and a “gambler” and waited until the last possible moment, and a “roll of the dice”. I’m glad of the results - I’m an Obama supporter - but I’m sorry Sarah “The Half-Term-inator” Palin is still on the scene.
I’m trying to figure out which is crazier - Palin or Bachmann. Bachmann typically comes off crazier because she talks less in generalities than Palin’s general speeches cheering mom, apple-pie, and the flag. But Palin is the one who started “Death Panels,” and she apparently sincerely believes she has need of “prayer warriors” to keep her safe from the evil forces aligned against her. On the Bachmann side, we have her call for general investigation into fellow congress members for unAmerican activities, and her comparison of taxes and national debt to the Holocaust.
Which has the greater claim to the title “Batshit Crazy?”
Nah, Palin is just a manipulative little narcissist. She knows exactly what she’s doing. The only thing irrational about her is her ego. All she wants is to make a lot of money and be on TV as much as possible. She couldn’t care less about boring stuff like domestic and foreign policy. She’s just foolish, not crazy.
Bachmann is a loony. A weapons-grade, barking at the moon, full-on, nobody’s home loony.
My characterization of Palin is that she was the most popular girl in her high school and found a way to make a career out of it.
She’s just a professional popular person.
That’s what I thought, a35362, until I started reading about Palin’s fascination with prayer warriors, and her amazingly paranoid vindictiveness. However, some of that may be Rebecca Mansour, rather than Palin. Mansour appears to be the actual author of some of Palin’s snarkier tweets. But the prayer warriors are all Palin’s.
Still, you’re probably right. Bachmann does appear to be a full-on loon. But I wonder if she’d be as dangerous as Palin in the presidency. Bachmann doesn’t seem to have been nearly as successful getting popular support as Palin. And Palin’s inclinations are certainly strongly right-wing. It’s just that before she was tapped for VP, she seemed to grasp the difference between what she wanted and what she realistically could get, albeit she had trouble accepting it. I’m not sure she grasps that difference anymore. She seems to take remarkably poorly to being thwarted. Bachmann’s had 10 years thus far of seeing the reality of politics up close and personal. Palin’s actual political experience is limited to Alaska, where things work a bit differently, then the whirlwind of the campaign during which she was largely treated (and behaved) like a rock star, a few more months of Alaska, then disappearing into the echo chamber of FOX News and carefully vetted speaking arrangements (rock star again).
I agree. Debates, as they are structured, favor people who just repeat talking points. You get in trouble if you actually say anything of substance and we know she in incapable of that. She’s like the football player in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure: “San Dimas Football Rocks”.
Well, if you’re a white man who gets beaten up by black cops, who else would you call?
