Where’s my prize?
Whaddya want? Unlike Dems who need more than a majority because they openly disagree with each other, Pubs close ranks. It’s just that the portions of the party that aren’t Gods Guns and Gays didn’t want to go down as teh stupid and started to speak up, bravely. Disagreeing with the Palin pick got one tarred as a traitor, but once they got press those in agreement got louder.
A cursory look at poll data seems to indicate many GOP voters just stayed home. I haven’t seen a breakdown yet, but I suspect every one of Gov. Palin’s rooters cast their vote.
Whether she’s under the bus depends on the sort of woodshedding that gets undertaken. Polarising does not mean unpopular, and many a candidate has returned from defeat.
Amen, Brother!
See, folks! Dio & I can agree on things!
still waiting for evidence of Jenna & Barb naked at college parties
Hopefully, this next face has a functioning brain behind it.
Or at least let’s hope we get an SNL sketch with Tina Fey similarly attired… 
This is closing ranks!!! This is feasting on the entrails of your own in public view. This is making sure that Palin can never move beyond her base in a national election - feeding her a poison pill. If people made a point of Al Gore and the “invented the internet” meme - I have a hard time believing anyone but her hardcore fans is going to vote for someone who purportedly can’t answer questions my third grader just answered (and then said “Mom, why are you asking me stupid questions”).
Bobby Jindal knows where Mexico is, and probably India too, since his family’s from there. He also believes in exorcism.
The Republican Party: serving up a whole menu of ignorance and crazy.
Exactly. I am afraid that after a lifetime, the Republican party has lost me forever. My Obama vote was only the beginning…
:mad:
They have to be angry. Their only other alternative is to admit that they were duped and that they fell for it – that they leaped for the lure like a desperate trout and were gaffed and dragged into the boat. What does it say about your party when the most popular member of the slate, the one that draws the masses out in droves, turns out to be nothing more than a demagogue?
It says that the ticket was just like every Republican ticket for the last decade.
Somewhat more egregious, perhaps. What happens when you realize that not only does the emperor have no clothes, but that he bought those clothes at Neiman-Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue using your credit card?
One of Palin’s biggest supporters’ name is a Spoonerism of “Kill Bristol?”
Weirder and weirder.
That’s true. It’s really something I’m only just grasping, the almost total venality of Sarah Palin. It’s on par with the Bush appointee who had to resign because he was caught shoplifting from Target. I’m not someone who thinks that government officials should be like gods among men, but I really think they should be people who are actually above that sort of thing.
I don’t know if I articulated that well, actually. From the beginning, I saw the Palin pick as an attempt to try to grab the Clinton supporters out from under the Democratic party. And I saw it as incredibly cynical and pretty insulting to those Clinton supporters (“any dame’ll do”). And as time went on and we realized just how completely uninformed Palin was, I recognized that she was a joke of a candidate to anyone who wasn’t wholeheartedly swimming in the Kool-Aid. But there’s more to it than that…it’s not about her intelligence or her gender or her ability to keep male right-wing pundits from standing up. She’s just…bargain-basement. She’s rummage sale. She’s downscale. The whole feud with her estranged brother-in-law was just so Jerry Springer.
She’s banal. That’s what bothers me. She’s so incredibly banal. I’m not an elitist, but I do think that there should be at least a certain minimum degree of dignity involved in pursuing public office. It’s not an economic class thing, it’s a personal demeanor thing. I mean, I love my family, but I definitely wouldn’t want to see most of them in office (especially my dad’s side!). The Obamas outclass the Palins by light-years. That’s one of the major differences, I think.
If only that were literal.
Karma can be a bitch.
I’m sure somewhere there’s an evil overlord training wolves to fly helicopters. Just be patient.
Especially since she lives in one and can see another from her house! (if she stops peeping in Putin’s windows anyway.)
Me, too.
What’s it like, having a soul? I watched Spike gets his on Buffy and it looked painful. How do you keep the blood off your shirt? C’mon, you have to help us out here. Did voting for a Democrat make me walk differtly? Can people tell?
I’ve seen the shirts you wear. I doubt a big splotch of red would even be noticeable amongst all the palm trees and pineapples and plumerias.
Ok. Point to jayjay.
