- TobiasParker, on 07/12/2009, -5/+105Can we just stop talking about her?
- Ghostalker, on 07/12/2009, -7/+74I'd rather have Bush back in office then Palin.
Yeah, you heard me... - beautifulady, on 07/12/2009, -11/+72FTA: In the aftermath of her decision to drop out and cash in, Palin’s standing in the G.O.P. actually rose in the USA Today/Gallup poll. No less than 71 percent of Republicans said they would vote for her for president. That overwhelming majority isn’t just the “base” of the Republican Party that liberals and conservatives alike tend to ghettoize as a rump backwater minority. It is the party, or pretty much what remains of it in the Barack Obama era.
R.I.P., G.O.P. Now I'm sure the party's dead. - twiztidsinz, on 07/12/2009, -6/+65FTA: "the"
Do we really need 3 comments in a row each quoting the article... We can all read, right? - northwatuppa, on 07/12/2009, -14/+61fta: She [Palin] puts a happy, sexy face on ugly emotions, [. . .]
- NiftyG, on 07/12/2009, -6/+53Sarah Palin is just the byproduct of something that is already broken.
George Bush and Dick Cheney, among others, broke the GOP. - RavagesOfTime, on 07/12/2009, -2/+34Don't underestimate angry white people who still think government bureaucracy is worse than private bureaucracy. Especially when they know the big bad librul media is out to get 'em and President Hussein is going to take their guns away and give the country his brother bin Laden.
I'm dead serious. Those people are scary and loud. I'm concerned about 2012. - Dumbledorito, on 07/12/2009, -2/+27You're both correct.
Except you left out greed, religiously-fueled delusion, and cold-war era paranoia. - redcolumbine, on 07/12/2009, -9/+32FTA: "The essence of Palinism is emotional, not ideological. Yes, she is of the religious right, even if she winks literally and figuratively at her own daughter’s flagrant disregard of abstinence and marriage. But family-values politics, now more devalued than the dollar by the philandering of ostentatiously Christian Republican politicians, can only take her so far. The real wave she’s riding is a loud, resonant surge of resentment and victimization that’s larger than issues like abortion and gay civil rights."
- PhillyMJS, on 07/12/2009, -2/+23Better the devil you know...
And by 'devil' I mean 'moron.' - Mankind121, on 07/12/2009, -4/+25A straight talker? Like in the debate when she went "I'm not going to answer the question but I'm going to talk about this instead...."
- sugarazor, on 07/12/2009, -5/+24Palin is an old flavor with pretty sprinkles on top. She is the culmination of everything that has been wrong with the Republican Party since Nixon: ethically corrupt, moral-crusading, shallow, greedy, condescending, out of touch, privacy-invading, anti-intellectual, anti-science, anti-civil liberties, anti-media, pro-war, and hypocritical.
- sutherbj, on 07/12/2009, -4/+23What a complete beatdown by Frank Rich. The amount of references he links is pretty incredible too.
- xenuxenuts, on 07/12/2009, -4/+23We tried that with the religious right, which really got going in the 80s. Any intelligent person saw them as the frauds and cons they are, but yet, several decades later, they're still here.
- inactive, on 07/12/2009, -5/+23Stupidity and ignorance broke the GOP.
- ParticleMan420, on 07/12/2009, -2/+20your governor that quit half way thru so she could pimp her book and make money?
your governor that quit her job because she cares about her state, which means that she knows she would just ***** it up worse?
your governor for about 10 more days, because she's abandoning the state for her own personal gains?
at least someone's proud of her - drunkenvthokie, on 07/12/2009, -2/+20I'm a Republican but she most certainly does not represent my ideals... I would NOT vote for her as president of the USA, hell I wouldn't vote for her as president of my HOA.
- inactive, on 07/12/2009, -3/+21You mean to say that the GOP nomination is up for grabs by any know-nothing hick who wants to bone Sarah Palin? That's not exactly complimenting the party, you know.
- LemonMachete, on 07/12/2009, -3/+21"Why dioes she "own" it?"
Why don't you read the ***** article and it will explain it to you.
"Republicans are not stupid enough to vote her"
The article says that 71% of Republicans admitted they would vote for her.
"Funny that this comes from the Yimes just afte rso many diggers talked about how intelligent and unbiased it is."
It's a ***** opinion piece of course it will have a bias. - B1665r, on 07/12/2009, -3/+20You just made me puke a little bit. I didn't realize that emotion existed in me at all...
- PhillyMJS, on 07/12/2009, -0/+15Dugg for the accompanying cartoon's Dr. Strangelove reference.
- HimThatSpeaks, on 07/12/2009, -4/+19BWahaha. You forgot /s/. She represents what she is. And it's not a good thing.
- inactive, on 07/12/2009, -7/+22We're such a traditionally conservative country that we elected an OMGZ socialist! Congratulations, you and Sarah Palin appear to have the same IQ.
- mrsteveman1, on 07/12/2009, -3/+18If by conservative you mean small government, personal and economic freedom, then yes we are a conservative country.
But that isn't what the republican party stands for, they are full of "social conservatives" who are nothing more than religious extremists who would like to use the government to impose their wishes on everyone. Palin is also a social conservative, and if there is ever a time where she must choose between economic or personal freedom, and pandering to the religious nuts, i expect her to do the latter. - HimThatSpeaks, on 07/12/2009, -3/+17No. Death of groups usually looks like this. Desperation. Mistakes. Division. Looks like the republican party to me. I wish to see the emergence of a SERIOUS contender to the democratic party. A third party of even a serious second and preferably third would do this country some good. Unfortunately I do not see the republican party as any positive part of this countries future.
- inactive, on 07/12/2009, -8/+22She is seriously damaged upstairs. Time to pull the plug.
- xenuxenuts, on 07/12/2009, -2/+16the palin supporters can't.
- twiztidsinz, on 07/12/2009, -1/+14Yeah sorry..
I forgot your kind is here too. - HimThatSpeaks, on 07/12/2009, -1/+13Wow. Didn't think I would agree with a statement putting "Bush president and again" in the same sentence. Some how... DAMN IT. Now I am pissed. Can the republican party just have ONE, JUST ONE reasonable person.
- darknecross, on 07/12/2009, -0/+11Be careful when you say "Good news!"
People automatically read it in Dr Farnsworth's voice. - snafflepaffle, on 07/12/2009, -1/+12Yes he was. His signing statement antics were clear evidence of that, if the look on his face much of the time wasn't enough of a clue. He just seemed a veeerrrry tiny bit less rabid than Palin does. Other than that, he and Palin could have been twins separated at birth.
- HimThatSpeaks, on 07/12/2009, -3/+14No way. I want her to stay a fresh symbol of the republican party. I don't want to forget about Bush either. I would like to keep talking about them. Some how it relaxes me to see negative articles about her. The whole party of republican politicians.
- YoctoYotta, on 07/12/2009, -4/+15Sexy or not (emphasis on the NOT), since when does being a ***** moron make someone charismatic? She's not even affable.
- HimThatSpeaks, on 07/12/2009, -2/+13That's my opinion of 90% of the republican party. 5% more are confused. 5% more are attached to some romantic image of what the party use to be and has not been in more than 30 years.
- Peekman, on 07/12/2009, -0/+10Oh nos... an opionion article was biased...................
- HimThatSpeaks, on 07/12/2009, -2/+12She is a victim of herself. I resent her.
- gutistg, on 07/12/2009, -0/+10And gaining support. :(
Apparently ignorance is self-sufficient. - HimThatSpeaks, on 07/12/2009, -5/+15Let's focus on Bush's accomplishments after EIGHT YEARS. I should define that. Positive ones. <no crickets chirping, nothing at all>
- spookyttws, on 07/12/2009, -1/+10That's an awesome illustration.
- gorgalor, on 07/12/2009, -0/+9Maybe you aren't a Republican anymore? The party has shifted way to the right for the last 30 years, and has culminated in Sarah Palin. She is the party, whether you agree with her or not. Maybe it's time to find a new party?
- secrity, on 07/12/2009, -4/+13It started with Reagan
- TobiasParker, on 07/12/2009, -1/+10I would actually like to see a bush presidency with Cheney and Karl Rove locked in a man-sized safe. It would be a morbid experiment.
- paulvq, on 07/12/2009, -3/+11Then it's just going to be another "lesser of two evils" election which has been the problem in this country for a long time.
- spookyttws, on 07/12/2009, -2/+10Good news! If she actually won the nomination she would be destroyed on election day.
- robodok, on 07/12/2009, -10/+18FTA: She won’t go gently into the good night, much as some Republicans in Washington might wish. She is not just the party’s biggest star and most charismatic television performer; she is its only star and charismatic performer. Most important, she stands for a genuine movement: a dwindling white nonurban America that is aflame with grievances and awash in self-pity as the country hurtles into the 21st century and leaves it behind.
- PuddMaster, on 07/12/2009, -2/+10you make fair points, but i'm burying you because of your use of the word "liberal". if you dont like palin or any other member of the gop it makes you a "liberal." i hate how the blowhards like hannity and o'reilly use "liberal" to label anyone they dont agree with. it just shows they arent thoughtful and therefore have zero credibility when it comes to any form of intelligent discourse. kinda like you...
- dcherryholmes, on 07/12/2009, -3/+11Yeah, right. Editorials critical of right-wingers is what got the newspaper industry into trouble. Self-important much?
- sugarazor, on 07/12/2009, -0/+7A. Not recently. Two terms of Reagan = a blowout victory for Bush Sr. Two terms of Clinton = the closest presidential election in modern history. Hardly a big win for the opposite party in either of those instances.
B. John McCain's campaign was anything but "moderate."
C. "Incessant whining from the MSM," lol... there ya go, blame the media. That always works so well for Republicans... or it makes them quit their job mid-term. And yeah, that pesky media who laid down and let Bush wipe his feet on their collective back for six years after 9/11, they were the problem. Only after completely wrecking the country and our standing with the rest of the world did the media finally find the remnants of their testicles and begin to ask -some- hard questions. Not many, but some.
D. Using Republican logic, Obama not only won in a landslide, he decimated McCain. In 2004, Bush was "given a mandate" according to the media after narrowly defeating John Kerry and Obama got far more states than Bush ever did. Considering how overly partisan our country has become - mainly thanks to the post-Gingrich America - a black man named Barack Hussein Obama winning the presidency by such a wide margin... yeah, landslide.
E. Sarah Palin is a laughingstock to everyone except braindead wingnuts who look up to her as their braindead leader... it's kinda like a political party made up of zombies. - FleetlordAtvar, on 07/12/2009, -3/+11If, hypothetically, she were to win the Republican nomination and then actually defeat Obama, I'd move to Canada.
- twiztidsinz, on 07/12/2009, -1/+9January is a harsh, harsh month....
Though I always figured Ann Coulter as "Miss" October. -
