- sigmaman2, on 06/08/2009, -5/+89So, the Geezer wing of the Republican party is feuding with the Dingbat wing. The Geezers have the support of the Gun Nut wing, but the Dingbats have the support of the Bible Thumper wing. It seems like the Old Money wing is staying out of it, so the victor may be decided by the Overt Racist wing.
- inactive, on 06/08/2009, -12/+84not this bitch again...
just make it go away - SoulGrub, on 06/08/2009, -6/+65Run Palin in 2012 I beg you. Keep the GOP out of office for another term.
- presidentraygun, on 06/08/2009, -7/+65These guys can't organize a simple meeting and they want us to give them back the keys to the nuclear arsenal.
- Trollbane, on 06/08/2009, -3/+47Anyone else of Conservatives who claim the Mainstream Media is controlled by liberals whilst at the same time they like to boast that Fox News is the largest cable news channel?
- treehugger87, on 06/08/2009, -5/+47It sounds like the Republicans controlled by Rush Limbaugh are having a hard time keeping the true conservative Republicans in check.
- STBAT25, on 06/08/2009, -10/+50I hope she stays in the spotlight so the country will be reminded of the stupidity of the Republican base who LOVED her so much during the campaign.
- JoeMondo, on 06/08/2009, -3/+41McCain's biggest negative was Palin.
But by all means, run with her. Please. Please. - inactive, on 06/08/2009, -3/+38riiiiiiiight... americans 'like what they see in palin' ..since you and your ilk are the only 'true americans'.. i remember you *****..
fyi: the majority of the 'rest of us' like what they see in palin.. as a laughing stock failure for the 2012 elections.. NOMINATE HER! - inactive, on 06/08/2009, -1/+34Gingrich will be making a strong bid for a 2012 nomination. Good for the Democrats.
- inactive, on 06/08/2009, -1/+33I would have voted for the 2000 John McCain, and the post-2008 election McCain has seemed pretty reasonable. But the quasi-moderate quasi-pandering to the far right Dr. Frankenstein's McCain that ran in 2008... that was just a nightmare and it's no wonder he didn't get elected.
- DankBuddz, on 06/08/2009, -2/+33"The reason given for Sarah Palin's snub was that NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions was concerned about not wanting to upstage former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the fundraising gala's keynote speaker."
Oh, and here I was thinking it was just because she's dumb. - treehugger87, on 06/08/2009, -3/+34Respectfully, I believe you are mistaken. The moderate John McCain who lost the primary in 1999 after a vicious campaign in which his opponent had phone calls made that suggested John McCain had an out-of-wedlock black child and had rumors spread that he could not make good decisions because his mind was not right after being tortured in Vietnam would have had a chance against Obama. I know a number of people who in July said "I would vote for John McCain" who were saying in October that they wouldn't vote for him against Sadaam Hussein becasue Sarah Palin was his running mate.
Sarah Palin is not a big tent conservative. She is loved by the religious right and given support by the right wing propaganda machine the same way Dick Cheney is. She is not someone that an "independent" or "moderate" would vote for. - inactive, on 06/08/2009, -2/+32GOP vs Palin, whoever wins we lose.
- NorthMass, on 06/08/2009, -24/+54Sarah Palin is not what the GOP needs, the GOP needs Ron Paul.
- 7m7uf, on 06/08/2009, -4/+29I keep wondering if it was all a bad dream, but her name keeps popping up. I'm still confused why anyone would picked her to be VP.
- DetpackJump, on 06/08/2009, -3/+28Magic underwear
- AgeofMastery, on 06/08/2009, -14/+38Even Palin has a better chance of getting elected than Ron Paul.
- inactive, on 06/08/2009, -3/+26An old derelict man who thinks women are stupid enough to vote for her just because Hillary failed to win the Democratic nomination.
- elliotys, on 06/08/2009, -4/+26A 5 winged elephant, despite most popular beliefs, is actually a flightless bird.
- elliotys, on 06/08/2009, -1/+21I heard if you ignore her she actually ceases to exist.
- SystemicThought, on 06/08/2009, -0/+19I was going to say something clever, but then I realized, I really don't care. The GOP, the Neo-Cons, and Sarah Palin can have their three-way lovers' quarrel. This in no way concerns me. If they get their sh*t together, the GOP might someday get my vote, but until then, I really just don't care.
- wendelgee2, on 06/08/2009, -2/+20How is HE any better????
- Homerr, on 06/08/2009, -1/+18Limbaugh/Palin 2012!
please? =) - thenativeraver, on 06/08/2009, -2/+18“You dance with the one who brung ya"
Good ***** god, who put the redneck in charge? - jasonalangraves, on 06/08/2009, -2/+17InfiniteNothing, there were definitely better VP choices, but I suspect that all of the best potential candidates were smart enough to decline the offer. Thus Sarah Palin was the only one dumb enough to accept. John McCain isn't exactly the dream candidate to run with.
In this election, it was clear Ron Paul didn't have a chance, so the only way for a good Republican to vote was for Barack Obama, and so far, I'm quite satisfied with that decision.
What really makes one embarrassed to be a Republican these days though, is the fact that the RNC continues to praise Sarah Palin. Yes, I'm sure she is a very nice person, but every time she speaks, she comes off like a real dumbass.
Please my Republican overlords, forget about Palin, put Rush Limbaugh in the corner for a year or so, and, somebody tell Bill O'Reilly he isn't doing Republicans any favors with his dishonest daily diatribe. Keith Olbermann, while obviously a bleeding heart liberal, is quite honest in his work, and Republicans ought to follow suit. - Kordox3, on 06/08/2009, -0/+15Facts have been discussed since the very beginning. People think pretty much every part of her and her views are ridiculous. Not many people take her seriously, and there is no reason to fear her. As evident from just this comment section here many people actually WANT her to run, simply because it's so clear she will lose. Scared? Doesn't seem that way.
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 06/08/2009, -4/+18Just because McCain lost doesn't mean a moderate Republican can't win. McCain in all likelihood would have won had he been nominated in 2000, but in 2008 he embraced the foaming-at-the-mouth base and further damaged his credibility as a moderate by running with Palin.
Oh, and there's not a shred of credible evidence that Obama is anything other than an American Christian. Ass. - inactive, on 06/08/2009, -0/+14and thousands of americans are ***** stupid.

all you need to watch, even though there's countless videos from last year showing the same types of things. - inactive, on 06/08/2009, -2/+14good. I'm all for the rise of the southern union seceding from the people who actually pay their taxes.
- DangerCollie, on 06/08/2009, -5/+17Yeah, the people yelling slurs at Obama during the campaign and her not calling them out. Just keep reminding people how vile, hare-filled and angry the right wing really is.
I like her being in the spotlight, even better when some Republican has to bend over for Rush Limbaugh. ROFL! The big, fat clown says grab ankles. He seems to have a thing about grabbing ankles, maybe there's a rehab stairwell story we don't know about. - TotalHalibut, on 06/08/2009, -0/+12Unpresidented, I see what you did there, even if you didn't.
- sindex, on 06/08/2009, -1/+12Good lord. No wonder the Republican Party flailing. They aren't even talking to each other and ensuring any sort of cohesive vision for their chief fund-raising event of the year.
Here's hoping the Libertarians, Constitutionalists, independents, Green party, etc.. manage to capitalize on this and throw the GOP into the dark corner it deserves until it can think about what it has done and apologize and play nice with the rest of the kids. - kingnova, on 06/08/2009, -3/+14I also was thinking of voting for McCain, until he picked Palin as his VP. That sealed the deal AGAINST McCain.
You just keep believing the Republican party lost because they ran a moderate, and not because that *moderate* when full on to the right the last few months of the campaign. - QQMore, on 06/08/2009, -0/+10Then by all means run her, because we both know that all she'd receive for her efforts is an epic electoral ass kicking.
- Idigwine, on 06/08/2009, -1/+11The Dems are salivating at the prospect of her running.
I can't imagine a cantidate that would have more people leave from the Repiblican party than her.
The sad thing is the people in charge of the GOP seem to be encouraging her.
Sure, she gets people to attend rallys, but those people are voting Republican anyway.
It's moderates the GOP needs to be competitive. On that, she's no help. - AgeofMastery, on 06/08/2009, -4/+14Regardless of what you think of his plans, Ron Paul is proposing way to much radical change all at once to
get the support of the mainstream voter.
Real change they can accept. Massive amounts of radical change all at once, few voters anywhere will go for that. - bubgz, on 06/08/2009, -3/+13Fat and Stupid, together again and forever!
- kingnova, on 06/08/2009, -1/+10"What a great mythology.
That first part was a lie. No evidence exists of those phone calls being made"
LOL. WA HUH? No evidence that the calls were made? I guess there were no flyers claiming McCain was gay either? What you MEANT to say was no one ever was able to prove Rove was the one behind the calls, or flyers. Big difference
Not sure what phone calls and flyers in South Carolina have to do with California, but you just keep spinning, dude. You are pretty funny! - SOS84, on 06/08/2009, -3/+12At the least the GOP is showing they have someone of intelligence in their ranks. Every time that vacuous skank opens here frakking mouth I want to rip my ears off. I never, ever thought a politician would emerge that makes Dubya sound intelligent, until she showed up. What a frakking retard she is.
- DangerCollie, on 06/08/2009, -3/+12There's no comparison between them. No deal. You're stuck with Sarah Palin, George Bush, Rush Limbaugh and Michelle Malkin the rest of your political lives.
Have fun dragging that anchor around the next 20 years. - elliotys, on 06/08/2009, -2/+11Who is this "liberal media" and where do they exist?
- LouiseCalabro, on 06/08/2009, -2/+11Ha!
- StaticThunder, on 06/08/2009, -4/+12I considered voting for McCain over Hillary (who I thought would win the Primaries) and then Obama won and he picked Palin as his running mate.That made my decision for me.
Please don't run Palin in 2012. I'd like an actual choice. Not one where I vote democratic because I don't have a viable alternative. - Maddoktor2, on 06/09/2009, -4/+12A Gingrich/Palin ticket in 2012 would be a sure winner.
For Obama/Biden. - azimir, on 06/08/2009, -2/+10Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
- ahhell, on 06/08/2009, -5/+12Still waiting for her and her daughter to show off their fantastic cans.
Hurry the ***** up. - fuzzybeard, on 06/08/2009, -2/+9Present time? What about the last nine years of the inmates picking the locks of the GOP asylum and then running their party into (and through, and out the other side) the ground?
I honestly think you can trace the weirdness of the Republicans all the way back to the second Reagan Administration. I lived through it; in hindsight, I firmly believe the Reagan was in the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease then. - kinkykingkal, on 06/08/2009, -1/+8If that's the case, then it seems we'll have 4 more years of Obama.
- InfiniteNothing, on 06/08/2009, -4/+11I don't buy it. There were better choices in the pool of female GOP members.
