The Palintes have shown who truly drinks the metaphorical kool aid and that the base is nothing more than that, base.

They have ignored the fact that the Palin pals around with Witch Hunters and says a Witch Hunters blessing helped get her elected.

She pals around with a witch hunter for Christ’s sake, the woman is not normal and to accept such behavior is not normal.

Ever since she entered the stage, she constantly has made choices that gamble away the few brownie points she has scored with normal folks in the GOP (assuming that there are some).

It’s unfortunate for her that America will see right through this lunacy and that she will likely never see a general for pres. ever in her life. Even if she didn’t make royal fuck ups like during McCain’s campaign, she is still fighting a massive, uphill battle. While I loved Hillary Clinton and campaigned for her extensively, you can’t win the primaries, let alone the general, when half the country hates you.

Ruh-roh.

The possibilities are endless!!!

But, whatever the case may be, the BEST possible thing that Palin could do for the Democrats is to attempt to run for POTUS in 2012. If she did manage to win the nomination, that would absolutely ensure a second Obama term.

Schadenfreude is delicious, though.

He is rather cute, I have to admit. I’ve no doubt he’d be hot to watch in action.

As for Palin, I hope she remains in the GOP spotlight. All she can do is alienate their party further to the right which will cost them countless elections. The more she opens her mouth, the better. For the GOP to make any significant comeback, it needs to embrace diversity, especially to the appeal of the new generation of voters, the young. Its failed dismally, it has no equality platform, has never written, authored, co-authored one piece of equality legislation. Until that happens, it can never see itself as a party of inclusion. Even its own Log Cabiners aren’t allowed a say at any of their conventions, evidence enough of their exclusion policies. Any sane gay man or woman would never support a party that consistently votes against full equality. Palin and most in the GOP will make sure that continues.

@InExile: Honestly, I think that Obama’s biggest problem is he is a centralist. He really wants to play both sides of the political aisle. He hasn’t figured out that that doesn’t work very well. I think that the Palin pressure will actually push him away from the position. Palin is painting herself as the overachieving centralist. I think Obama is going to have to change to be different than her on that point. Obama really needs to learn that the Democrats put him in office to do what the Democrats wanted done. We didn’t put him in office so he could kiss the asses of bigoted assholes and other Republicans.

If Obama was to the Democrats what GW was to the Repugs, he would take the majorities in the house and senate and use them to push through whatever he wanted pushed through. The only reason he isn’t like that, in my opinion, is because he smart enough to realize that what GW did to the country was so fucked up that most people will be voting for the Democrats for as long as the memory of GW stays in their minds. I think Obama is trying to avoid getting his entire party branded as the party to avoid if he fucks up and the best way to do that is to argue that every decision he made was with bipartisan support. However, thankfully some Republicans are starting to see the light, and gay issues are moving forward with bipartisan support.

Although, the rumor mill is buzzing that she is headed for a huge iceberg – criminal charges – AKA Housegate

“She’d also better hope Bristol doesn’t decide she to get knocked up again with no wedding ring and a different baby-daddy.”

Sorry to say this, but even if she did, it would only be a momentary blip on the radar screen of American consciousness.

The Religious Right Riff Raff just love to forgive their own kine/kind. It makes them feel good about themselves.

It’s those abominable, damned homosexschwulls they can’t forgive!

Maybe she is answering her call to duty to rally the religious right troops?

I was thinking precisely the same thought, InExile.

See sees how Obama is flip=flopping on the issues, is aware that the Religious Right Riff Raff is miffed by the few crumbs Obama has tossed at the LGBT community and knows how deterinned the RRRR is to see SSM ixnayed in all 50 states of the union.

In fact, as we talk, the RRRR, emboldened by their victory in California, is gearing up to do the very same thing they did there and we could see it on the ballot as early as November.

To the RRRR, Sarah Pahlin is Joan of Arc riding on her steed singing onward Christian soldiers marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before.

It’s not a pretty picture. If she gets into office, it could make the Bush years look like a cakewalk.

So many sore losers loved her and hate us! She’s their ticket back2power.

Letterman should have received a thank you note for his contribution and now we have to look at her again because of this stunt.

As someone mentioned, there may be a scandal coming our way. I don’t think we’ll be that lucky.

She has merely left the governors job, she has had a taste of the good life and will be out front yapping for years to the delight of the GOP hateful. I would say she is on Fixed News before the end of the year with a show.
