(Via Hot Air.) This is the woman that the media wants you to believe is an unqualified moron who is hated by the majority of American voters. Do you believe that?
UPDATE: Welcome, Team Sarah members! You might want to read some of my American Spectator columns about Sarah Palin:- 12/23: Rousing the Rabble
- 10/31: Stickin' With the Hockey Mom
- 9/10: Sweetheart of the Heartland
- 9/8: The Miracle Worker
BTW, Team Sarah will have a breakfast for pro-lifers Jan. 22 before the annual March for Life in Washington.
UPDATE II: Flopping Aces: They're not worried, right?
Yes, I believe that the media wants me to believe that she is an unqualified moron.
ReplyDeleteNow, had she the foresight to have changed her name to Kennedy...
One reason why I think many of the GOP lock and file loyalists resent her (and talk anonymous about her) is that she ran against the incumbent republican governor and won..
ReplyDeleteCan't have that.. putting the interests of the state first instead of the party..
@Dave:
ReplyDeleteNo mention of political parties in the Constitution.
Bug, or feature?
I just hope the various idiots on both the left and right continue to underestimate her the same way Murkowski and others did.
ReplyDeleteYes, I believe she is an unqualified moron.
ReplyDeleteThe video interview you posted offered nothing new.
In fact she just rehashed the same answers to the softball questions she was given.
And all this just points to the absolute disarray on the Right. Conservatives seem quite proud of the fact that they can put their support behind a woman. But confusing qualifications with ELECTABILITY is one of the many misunderstandings that has rendered the Conservative movement irrelevant.
I guess I will never understand how Cons can justify putting this glorified housewife on a pedestal. I maintain that had McCain selected another more qualified( and perhaps less attractive) VP candidate the Republicans would have won. That Palin excited a group of excitable morons means nothing...
@Y4E,
ReplyDeleteYou neglected to praise Carolyn Kennedy.
why would I praise Caroline Kennedy?
ReplyDeleteIn fact, thank you for making my point.
I guess there is an assumption that we on the Left support Ms. Kennedy.
But like Palin, she is an unqualified candidate.I don't support her efforts to inherit Clinton's Senate seat.
I don't like the idea that, like Bush, she is entitled to hold office because of her name.
Unlike those on the Right, I practice some intellectual consistency. Thank you for bringing it up.
Now let's see how many Palin supporters are willing to support Caroline, seeing as they are pretty much both political starlets who have no business legislating anything whatsoever...
@Y4E,
ReplyDeleteUnlike those on the Right, I practice some intellectual consistency.
Tell a curious world: do you consider yourself more 'Illinois consistent', or 'Minnesota consistent'.
These subtleties elude the non-specialist, I'm afraid.
Interviewer = moron
ReplyDeleteWe've created a culture of morons.
I can't stand it.
It's amazing how the talking points of the near brain-dead leftist political culture are now essentially main stream in the "business".
ReplyDeletesmitty,
ReplyDeleteCommon sense seems to elude you as well.
Why am I surprised?
Subtleties are like kryptonite to the Conservative "thinker". In trying to score a cheap political point by trying to invent new categories for consistency you have proven yourself incapable of defending your POV. Intellectual laziness is like comfort food to the Right. It's easier to let feelings dictate your thoughts than to really sit down and think things through.
Hence Palin 2012....
Thanks Young 4-Eyes for granting me my wish. And please keep up with the cocky attitude regarding your "intellectual consistency" (snort snort ... chortle chortle). It kind of reminds me of the way republicans were feeling right after the election of 2004.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be fun watching the wheel turn again.
I usually oppose combox feedings of trolls, but I'm just curious to see what stupid thing he'll say next. Really I can't help but being entertained.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, what seems to elude four eyes is that as he's taking pot shots at the supposed intellectual incuriosity of the right, he glides on right on by the, umm, poor decisions made by leftist voters and other elected officials. Whether or not he personally disapproves of Caroline "whatever her last name is at the moment" is besides the point. If Sarah Palin is indicative of some wider GOP affinity for stupidity, what the hell are Al Franken, Henry Reid and Caroline KeneSchlausdy indicative of?
And really, avoiding a question and then saying that it's the other person avoiding the question is one of the dumbest games in the blogosphere.
I maintain that had McCain selected another more qualified( and perhaps less attractive) VP candidate the Republicans would have won.
ReplyDeleteWrong again, Sparky.
All McCain had to do was come out against the No Banker Left Behind Bailout and scold Barry and the Dems for stealing billions from future generations and giving it bankers, and being so very pleased with themselves about it, to boot.
@thirteen28:
ReplyDelete"The wheel in the sty keeps on turnin'"
...and so it will as long as we endure these cartel/union/mafia political parties.
Hopefully CPAC can be the start of a Constitutional Renaissance, but I'm likely too hopeful.
The Imperial Fed and its Cosmic Credit Card shall beggar us all.
13,
ReplyDeleteAttitude has nothing to do with it. And it's going to be hard to make the wheels turn when the spokes are all bent out of shape; ie. the Conservative movement.
Cranky,
I can't be held accountable for the Caroline Kennedys or the Al Frankens of the world. But it is curious that even within the Democrat party there is a dissatisfaction with these candidates. You seem to have a kneejerk assumption that, like yourself, I would be so intellectually limited as to support the names you cited simply because of the letter next to their name. It is like jumping to the conclusion that because Bush calls himself a Conservative that he would behave so. Look how well that worked out for you.
Rae,
you're wrong, as usual.
McLame opposed the bailout in the beginning of the meltdown. Despite his initial stance his ratings dropped precipitously during the debacle, not afterwards. All Palin provided in the meantime was the entertainment of her vacuous ideology.
"13,

The conservative movement is fine, it's the Republican party that's f'd up at present.
As for the attitude, it's what is going to make your inevitable disappointment all the more acute. You don't sound old enough to have experienced 1994 or 1980 as the left of that time did ... but you will get a similar experience, mark my words.
In the meantime, stay cocky and pretend you guys are invincible.

Eric:
Please don't confuse Sarah Palin with the "Conservative Movement." She is a LIBERTARIAN REPUBLICAN. She always has been. She was a libertarian in Alaska politics for years, before she hit the national scene.
While we Libertarian Republicans are grateful that our Conservative friends have been so enthusiastically supportive of our Sarah, the fact remains, Conservatives are supporting a Libertarian candidate.
In the future get your labels straight. Thank you for your cooperation.

ReplyDeleteBy Jove, I think Y's finally got it!
I agree -- GWB's liberal madness isn't working out too well for anyone.
So then, why did you vote for more of the same pain, Y4-E?
McLame
I also agree that McCain is so very lame, as is your revisionist history (or your delusions, or trolling, or whatever).
She is a LIBERTARIAN REPUBLICAN.
ReplyDeleteEric, just because you say that, and want to believe it, doesn't make it true.
