Stupidest idea EVER!

So there is this new website that has decided that the best chance for Obama to win a second term is to organize Democrats and Independents to help elect Sarah Palin as the Republican nominee in 2012. 

The group is call Primaries for Palin, and this is their Mission Statement:

PrimariesForPalin.com aims to nominate Sarah Palin as the Republican presidential candidate by encouraging Democrats and Independents to purposefully vote for her in state primaries. In head-to-head polls with President Barack Obama, Palin consistently fares worse than other possible Republican candidates because of her divisiveness. If Palin is nominated, Obama has a much better chance of winning reelection in November 2012.

Now either the individuals behind this group are suffering from a terminal case of "head-up-our-ass-itis" or they are some Pro-Palin group using this transparent half-assed excuse to convince Independents and Democrats to vote for Palin in the primary. 

You know they DO seem a little overly defensive about this second scenario.  This from their site:

Are you secretly a pro-Palin organization?

No, but we recognize that some may see us as supporters of Palin through “reverse psychology.” We are a group of liberal individuals that wishes to have Obama reelected in 2012. We routinely post highly critical stories about Palin. While a pro-Palin organization could also post anti-Palin stories, thus using “reverse psychology” deception, we also post numerous poll results that show she would be severely trounced by Obama in the general election. If anything, it is these poll results that should prove our intentions: Numbers don’t lie.

Uh huh.  Well if this movement is NOT some Palin panty sniffers pathetic attempt to trick liberals into backing Palin, than it is some spineless Obama supporters pathetic attempt to stack the deck in our President's favor because they lack confidence in his ability to win the election in 2012.  Either way these imbeciles should be ignored and marginalized until they get a clue and shut down their ridiculous enterprise.

Look Obama is going to destroy ANYBODY the Republicans put up against him in 2012. Believe it!

When people start to use deception to win an election, THAT is when a sure thing suddenly becomes a near miss.  Obama will win, count on it, but we can fuck that up by trying to game the system or attempting to outsmart the Luddites who still support the Republican party.

There were progressives who pulled that crap in Alaska, and they damn near delivered the vaguely bearded Teabagger candidate Joe Miller right onto the Senate floor.  And as others have pointed out, there was another Republican candidate that the Democrats felt would ensure an easy victory for their sitting President as well.

In late 1978, Ronald Reagan, himself a former governor and media star, was considered a has-been politician who had tried for the presidency in 1976 and had fallen short. Reagan was ridiculed, like Palin, for his alleged lack of intelligence and his alleged extremism. Yet, in 1980, Ronald Reagan beat President Jimmy Carter and became the 40th President of the United States.

Now Sarah Palin is NO Ronald Reagan, but my point is why take the chance in allowing the worst possible candidate imaginable to get THAT close to the White House.

Obama's amazing list of accomplishments will serve him well in the 2012 Presidential contest, and the memory of the last time a Republican President sat in the Oval Office will hang around the neck of their next candidate like a rusty anchor.  That should be enough to give the Democrats confidence in their President.

Sarah Palin has lost virtually all of her credibility with the American people, so why give her even the semblance of electability by faking a groundswell of support.  Remember the lesson of Dr, Victor Frankenstein and Senator John McCain.

Sometimes, the creature gets loose.
