Sarah Palin pulls it together in Indianola, Iowa for last ditch effort to stay relevant to her Teabagger base.

Wearing more body padding than a NFL linebacker, more makeup than circus clown, and many times almost screaming her attacks on President Obama, Sarah Palin puts on quite a show in Iowa.

After seeing what she was like yesterday I had my doubts that Palin could get her shit together for this speech. But you have to hand it to her, when it is time to shake her carefully padded money maker she knows exactly how hard to shake it, and whose face to shake it in.

Clearly this was a speech that somebody worked on for quite some time.

It did not seem to miss one opportunity to attack President Obama, one opportunity to suck up to the Teabaggers, or one opportunity to put her GOP rivals on notice that she can still give them a run for their money. At one point Palin even kissed up to the corporations who have not always been her biggest fans by calling for the end to ALL corporate income taxes.

I have to admit I was very impressed with how her special effects team was able to transform her from the frail, sickly creature we saw yesterday to the Dolly Parton lookalike that stood on that stage in Iowa today.

Well what can you expect from the woman who successfully fooled virtually every journalist in the world into believing that she was pregnant and gave birth in 2008? Hell compared to that, this was a walk in the park for the queen of body morphing.

However those who have been paying attention know what Sarah Palin REALLY looks like.


And it ain't Dolly Parton!

    I thought this was supposed to be some sort of major announcement or revelation today. Imagine my disappointment.

    All 500 in attendance seemed happy though.

    Come on Anon Insider...we need the scoop!

    Not much of a crowd there. I'm originally from West Virginia, that crowd put the hillbillies I grew up with to shame. There probably wasn't a full mouth of teeth between them.

    Sorry. I don't think she looked or sounded good. She sounds like someone who has said and worn the same thing since 2008. Time for a shower. Time for "refreshing." And by the way, the longer she delays, the less time she has to get on ballots. NPR said this week that there may be a NH primary in Dec. There are very strict rules that apply to a national candidacy. You can't just skip GOP debates forever and be put on state ballots willy-nilly.

    I don't know, Gryphen. I'm not sure she really does look all that much better in this video. She definitely has the padding, no question there, but look at her face and listen to her voice: I think this is just the other side of the same coin we saw yesterday. Sarah has got to be manic-depressive, or some similar condition. Nobody bounces in one day from the semi-comatose mess in yesterday's "family reunion" (LOL) to the wild-eyed bomb thrower in a Michele Bachmann wig we saw today without some serious problems...

  6. The Quitter From Wassilla gave a screech today, I lasted 10 minutes until my husband noticed my ears were bleeding.

    That is after not actually hearing her voice since 2008!

    The failed VP candidate and FOX News employee’s screech fest, started off by her plagiarizing Obama’s 2004 Democratic National Convention Keynote Address:

    "E pluribus unum: “Out of many, one.”

    Now even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us — the spin masters, the negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of “anything goes.”

    Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America — there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America — there’s the United States of America.”
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The failed VP candidate and FOX News employee says…..”Tawd reminded me that I’m not speaking to republicans, democrats..blah..blah…this isn’t red America, or blue America, this is red, white and blue America”

    It just goes downhill from there.

    There were 2,000 expected to attend (what!! only 2,000 expected !!) but CNN wouldn’t admit to the actual turn out, instead they reported that “there was not 2,000 but there had been a storm, and some are still coming in”, whatever THAT means.

    CNN wouldn’t broadcast the crowd either, only a constant stream of head shots, of the failed VP candidate and FOX News employee.

    Of course CNN needs rating so, they have attempted to legitimize the teapotty as a separate entity, by giving them a formal debate, while the real republican debate airs on NBC.

    After all there is no teapotty because they are all registered republicans, supported and funded by the republican party.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    The MSM is about to lose it's money maker as Gawker reports that only~~500~~baggers turned out , that is so funny, ~~500~~ and;

    Photographic evidences suggest that at least 30 percent of rally attendees were cardboard-cutout Sarah Palins.

    There were no reported sightings of any Christine O'Donnell cutouts, because the Palin cutouts had murdered them all days in advance.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Really, go to the link and check out the photos!

    "They just talk vaguely", as if you don't, Ms. Smarty Pants, "time-tested truths" b-s-er ?!?!

    She is so freaking angry.

    Sarah you didn't get the memo, did you? Politics 101. The more positive candidate wins the election, not the most shrill harpy b*&# of the candidates.

    She thinks she is superior because she doesn't use a teleprompter, but she is glued to her notes. You can tell she thinks she is going to whip the crowd into a frenzy. They could possibly try to spin this as some sort of oratory coup for her, but as everyone has pointed out the crowds are small and the polls look terrible. She is playing catch up and it's probably hopeless for her. She certainly got herself revved up, no?

    Funny she is taking swipes at polls now. That's likely what has been eating away at her, the fact she's tanking completely. Our president may have some rough numbers himself, but if you look more closely there are a lot of extremely positive readings for him.

    People like him and trust him, basically. Miles ahead of Sarah.

    So the key necklace was the choice for today, huh? Key to the Kingdom or some such nonsense, right? Get over yourself, Sarah. No one cares about your symbols - and I am a Christian.

    I loved her plan. She announces that we all know the problems, but she, the Wise Sarah Palin, has a plan. Five minutes later she was still rehashing the problems, and then the BIG PLAN. Repeal health care for Americans, drill, get rid of all the nasty regulations (that keep our water, food supply, and workplaces safe,) drill, drill some more, and then let the pipelines roll. She is a moron. It was funny to see the applause lines that died though. Seemed like when she attacked the President, only a few people cheered. When she gave an obvious applause line, she was lucky to get a few more. It's over, doll...you couldn't attract one writein vote in Iowa OR NH, and you hardly drew a crowd for a FREE event in a cornfield. Don't let the bus door hit you on your way home.

    Seriously people, I can't stand her or what she stands for but aside from her "humped over" appearance she did an ok job at the speech. She was attractive and energized. She engaged her supporters just as politicians that WE like engage us. Right or wrong, left or right, there are all types of people in this country and yep, some of them like Palin.

    I'd not have anything in common with her or her supporters but isn't that America, letting everyone just have a voice and do their thing?

    I'm looking forward to an energizing of the Democratic base, a new energy and a new voice for 2012. I too will not sit down and vote for "business as usual" from the left. I hope that WE are given choices in the race for the 2012 election. That will indeed energize my interest once again and maybe get me to the polls.

  16. The Des Moines Register's reporter suggested a crowd size of 2000 and that accords well enough with my takeaway from one-and-a-half viewings the video, from which at this distance I "guesstimated" 1500.

    Minimum 1200 and absolutely fewer than 3000, that's quite shameful enough.

    I saw more people at my mall's Apple store today than at that rally.

    And her hair looks like a toddler took a scissors to it while she was napping.

    I could not believe some of her stupid lines--

    "Polls are for strippers..."
    "Like you, I'm not for sale!"
    (Really? Because I heard your public relations firm negotiations $100k contracts for you to speak at charity events for disabled children.)

    I don't agree with you Gryphen that she looked good. I think she looked haggard and thrown together. That color was not at all flattering, and her hair has clearly been overtreated with chemicals. Or she needs better wigs.

    Looked to me like over-acting. She got through the speech, but I for one did NOT feel the fire in her belly. Nor apparently did the audience. Not a lot of whoopin' and hollerin' goin' on. I've seen her do much better.

    I admit to watching only about half of the speech, skipping around. But I did catch the repetitive "hopey changey" act, followed, of course with no examples or alternatives.

    I think she's lost it. That lovin' feelin', dontcha know, the one described as charisma in politicians. It's gone, gone, gone. She can't go on.

    I was appalled that she claimed that it was President Obama who threatened to withhold military pay and social security benefits, when in fact, her damn Tea Party congressmen/women were holding the federal govt. hostage. WTF? I pray MSM will focus on the LIES in the speech, and not waste the viewer/reader's time by repeating her nonsense/lies as fact. Raises my blood pressure.

  31. I don't think she looked much better in this video. Noisier, yes.

    But compare this screechy mess to her RNC speech three years ago, and it's clear that a) she has deteriorated a great deal in looks (her main selling point), and 2) without handlers, a professionally run campaign, and personal attendants for hair, makeup, and clothing, she has very little star power.

    If today's event were her entry onto the national stage, without the professional grooming and roll out she got from the McCain campaign, the backing and support of the Republican Party, and the status of a VP candidate, I don't think she would ever be more than a fringe player.

    I can't imagine the solidly thoughtful middle of the electorate, who go about their daily lives uninvolved in politics until it is time for a major race, starting to listen up in the coming months and being intrigued by the likes of Palin.

    Her screechiness, anger and divisiveness, unprofessional behavior, evident illiteracy and ignorance, and trashy uneducated family would make her no more of a viable candidate than other outliers like Santorum, Cain, Nader, or Paul.

    For 20-year-old Stephanie Abbott, a Wisconsin college student, Palin has served as a role model since she was in high school, inspiring her to change her planned major to political science and run for student senate. “Like so many Palin supporters, I’ve really been waiting for that announcement,” she said. “I’ve got all my Sarah Palin 2012 gear already. I really need Sarah to tell me she’s running — I don’t know what I’ll do if she doesn’t.”

    But even Abbot’s patience is starting to wear thin. “There are days where I get frustrated. I hear the other Republicans on TV or watch a Republican debate and there’s something missing,” she said. “Her voice really changes the debate. We’re all as patient as we can be, but we’re definitely waiting with bated breath.”

    All her fans that say she should skip the debates and that she can save money by waiting are kidding themselves. Do you really not want to hear her debate? Do you not want her to start converting the unbelievers here with her fantastic ideas? We are not trying to get an unqualified friend a job, we are looking to hire someone to run our country.

    Saving money? She is not on the same pay level as us, bots. She does not need to eek out one or two more paychecks from faux before she announces. She is losing far more in endorsements than she is saving by not jumping in just yet.

    Big Update:

    Looks like Payme PAYlin can't make use of her old "One Nation" bus tour anymore.
    She had to pay, rather her PAC more likely paid for a brand new bus wrap.

    Her horse-N-3-trick-pony show is now called ... wait for it .... cause it's still yet another tired old PAYme PAYlin meme.
    The "Restoring America" crazy-bus.

    From the "AmesPatch" website:

    "... Huddled into a depression on a hillside in the National Balloon Classic field near Indianola, the crowd stood soaking as a local conservative radio host and other speakers took to a stage, Palin’s red, white and blue “Restoring America” bus parked in the background. ..."

    Now I know why she didn't have any pictures of the old bus wrap with her phoney "One Nation" wrap on it when she was in Iowa the last time around. The only photo I saw was one of the front of the bus and never saw any photos of the sides of the bus.
    She probably had a cease & deceist order from what's his name for her infringement of his copyright.

    A supporter when asked about comparing Palin to the other candidates…

    “They may have the intellect, they may understand the issues, but they don’t have her spirit.”

    The last line in a Politico article today has that gem.

    What an endorsement for a political candidate. Can you believe it? I’d be embarrassed to say that my candidate is a retard and doesn’t understand the issues. Oh lordy. With supporters like that, who needs enemies?

    Well Gryphen, I thought her speech was masterfully written and she seemed revved and revived onstage. She must have had her B vitamins this morning to give her the boost to do all that charisma, wattage and liberal outrage that her fans thrive on and feast over.

    The speech itself was full of hoax statements, lies and dog whistles, but she's spellbinding the committed & telling them what they want to hear and already believe.. so from that standpoint it was a great success.

    And, of course, there will be a bonanza of edgy TP flavored sound bites to be harvested from the event for later titillation of her fans.

    She was quite the shapely propaganda vehicle.. contrasting in an interesting manner compared to the mainly older male & female apple and pear shapes onstage and in the audience.

    The only reprieve was that CNN did not promote her quite so positively as in past years.

    But it is with a heavy heart Gryphen that I thank you for providing IM, a haven for distressed souls who have entered even for a short time the distorted world of the TPers.

    I watched the whole spectacle, which leaves me feeling sick at heart.. so thanks again for IM and just for being your great and articulate self. Perhaps tomorrow, I'll be able to smile again, but for the moment I just find her too dangerous for peace of mind.

    Interesting exercise from a commentor on Laura's blog:

    I was intrigued by a comment on an earlier post from Tom, who mentioned that he had sent some friends cropped pictures of Palin taken during her (alleged) pregnancy with Trig.
    Last night I decided to try something similar as an experiment. I cropped Palin’s head and flag pin out of the pictures from March 14, March 26, and April 13, 2008 and sent them to seven women I am very close to. None of these women have followed babygate, 3 have each had multiple pregnancies, and a fourth is currently seven months pregnant with her first child. Without identifying the woman in the pictures, I asked them to guess how far along in her pregnancy she was in each picture.
    One person has responded so far – she is an evangelical Christian, has given birth to four children, and is by far the most conservative of them all, although she is not a Tea Pary member or wingnut of any kind. She flatly said that the woman in the March 14 photo was not pregnant. When I told her the pictures were of Sarah Palin, she wanted to know where the picture came from, which pregnancy, and – most of all – why she would have done it. I kept thinking I was going to have to argue that Palin wasn’t pregnant with Trig – but after seeing the three pictures together, she needed no convincing that Palin was pregnant. Her main concern was why Palin would have attempted the hoax.
    I didn’t try to push any particular theory as an explanation. We talked about the possibility of protecting Bristol and then I mentioned the political benefit to Palin: that conservative pundits had been building interest in her for at least six months prior to Trig’s birth, which gave her the credentials of someone who not only talked the talk, but walked the walk. We have left it there for now and I don’t know if after thinking about it and checking it out on her own if she will decide it’s just conspiracy nonsense, but I have planted the seed, and I am eager to see how the other six women to whom I sent my email will respond.
    I guess my point here is that I think we focus too much on getting people to admit that Palin isn’t Trig’s birth mother. As others have noted on this blog, there are people who will never admit Palin could do any wrong, much less pull off this hoax. There are others who may be more open to the idea, but will decide it’s just a wingnut conspiracy theory. And then there are those who will get it – maybe not the first time they are exposed to the theory, but eventually. It may take a sort of grass roots effort by email to get the story out there to where it gets some traction – and I speak from my vast success of having persuaded one person so far! But repeated exposure by various media - that is how the birthers did it, after all.

    Listen, her speeches continue to be word salad, I don't care how much people work on them. Bill, great point about the loop holes! If she is proposing the elimination of corporate taxes in the same speech she uses attacks like "cronyism", she is simply incoherent.

    The woman has no clue what she is talking about.

    What a huge contrast between her first national speech in 2008 and now, a mere three years later. She came across as an old woman today - hunched over, a bit wobbly at the end, her voice clearly an old woman's screech as opposed to her early middle-aged screech in 2008.

    Does she not want to part with any money to get a good stylist, a decent hair dresser, or a speech consultant? Such a mistake. At least in 2008, the GOP knew how to make her into a silk purse, giver her dazzle and sex appeal. Now, she comes across as the embittered old bitch in bar who, tossing down a few, has all the answers for why life in general sucks.

    She refuses to grow, to learn, to evolve and better herself. No, she sticks to the same old, same old with the end result that she has simply become old, worn-out and bitter-sounding. There is no vibrancy left, no sex appeal (which the hell was on her lips? Looked like middle school white lip gloss, but came across as some kind of scum. Ick.

    She could still come across as an attractive woman if she stood upright, smiled more, and had a good styling team. But Sarah never learns. She simply sinks deeper into her own mire.

    Bye-bye Sarah. If you don't start taking care of yourself and start looking healthier, fewer people will want to look at you at all. They ditch female TV hosts when they get as haggard as you are now becoming. Think about it, Sarah. Either check yourself in to a clinic and spa or forget it. No one wants someone who looks like a loser.

It's about who will act responsibly and make the hard decisions for the good of our country in the long term and who will just talk a good game do what is popular and kick the can down the road on the tough stuff.

    Unfortunately, not all candidates are charismatic. We need to vote anyway. Staying home is not an option.

    The turnout was poor in 2010. The teabaggers got elected in many places. They have been chipping away at access to healthcare for women and they are working to continue the weakening of unions. That is what happens when folks don't vote.

    I want our President to be smart and dedicated. I want him to be a hard worker. I want him to have the wisdom to choose his battles, because he knows he can't win them all. We have that in Barack Obama.

    Start scouting candidates for 2016, how about, instead of being disappointed in the present. If we don't have a viable Dem candidate then, just watch what these assholes will do to our country again.

    We are in this hole because of the Bush years. Anyone who wasted a vote on Ralph Nader or didn't vote at all back then needs to take responsibility for this mess we are in now. Stop passing the blame to the guy who inherited it. You are doing the GOP's dirty work for them, don't you realize that?

    She's now dithered too long, spewed her blather too much instead of saying anything. She couldn't pull this off now even if she she did everything right from this minute onward, because she's proven herself to be an unelectable party-splitter who will burn down the GOP tent around her own head, or just torching a piece of it to glorify herself for the tea partiers' bid. There is no way she can do anything other than more damage. She has hobbled herself with her own mistakes, grudge matches, petty vindictive thin-skinnery, and shrieking ignorance wrapped up with a big old bow of too-lazy-to-bother. No one with enough political power has any reason to back her, and many have every reason to kneecap her run now before she does any more damage to the brand.

    Crazy Train: Sarah Palin Wants to Eliminate All Federal Corporate Income Tax

    ...We got the “Drill here, drill now” bit and the jabs at “hopey changey”, because the Tea Party really responds well to this sort of low-level, lame taunt based on nothing and coming from someone who keeps offering them “hope and change” only she’s calling it “restoring and reforming”.

    But the real puzzler was when Palin announced what I guess will be her job-creation “policy” if she runs: Palin proposes that we eliminate all federal corporate income tax in order to create jobs. ALL. That’s any and all corporate income tax. And this is where we get to the part in our program where we reveal more proof that the Tea Party doesn’t give a hoot about fiscal conservatism. A policy of no federal income taxes for corporations is not exactly responsible. But certainly, it’s rich, coming from Palin who taxes the oil companies in Alaska so much with windfall profit taxes that they claim they stopped drilling there as much as they were because their profits were being taxed too much.

    We aren’t sure, of course, how Palin would have any clue about job creation, since the federal government has been the largest employer in Alaska since well before statehood. Palin apparently wants to rob the federal government (read, blue state theft) of revenue but never pay. See, that worked for her in Alaska between the socialist taxing of the oil companies (a plan I support, by the way) and taking more than she gave from the federal government. But see, the federal government and the taxes from the oil companies funded that little plan of hers. She seems to have missed that part.

    Sarah Palin Iowa Tea Party Rally Was 1/50th as Big As the Wisconsin Protests

    ...The Des Moines Register reported, “The Alaska governor-turned-reality-TV-star-turned-conservative-icon made her third trip to Iowa this year for a Tea Party of America rally in Indianola, an event that drew a brave crowd of about 2,000 willing to sit in dripping wet lawn chairs in a driving rain.”

    I suppose tea partiers and Sarah Palin’s loyal devotees will blame it on the rain, but the truth is that attendance for this big conservative outing was absolutely dwarfed by the genuine and truly grassroots Wisconsin protests. Back in February, over 100,000 people gathered in Madison, Wisconsin to protest what was at the time Gov. Scott Walker’s attempt to strip collective bargaining rights from public employees. This was not an isolated incident. On several weekends an estimated hundred thousand or more people turned out to protest.

    You do remember that February rally, don’t you? It is the gathering that was ignored by all three cable networks, and unlike Sarah Palin’s little rainy day talking points monologue wasn’t carried on C-SPAN either. A gathering of 100,000 Americans protesting for their rights was deemed not worthy of coverage by the corporate media.

    Sarah Palin’s rally was 1/50th as large as the Wisconsin protests, yet the media still insists on treating her as if she is worth coverage.

    Palin still got TV time despite the fact that the new Fox News poll revealed that Republicans absolutely do not want her to run, and another poll revealed that 67% of Americans said that they would not vote for her. Still many in the mainstream media have bought into the fraudulent talking points that Sarah Palin is a draw, (she isn’t), the tea party is an actually grassroots movement (it isn’t), and that tea partiers aren’t Republicans, (they are nothing more than the Moral Majority/social conservative Republicans).

    Sarah Palin was only able to draw 1/50 of the crowd that gathered on a winter Saturday in Wisconsin, but you won’t hear anyone in the mainstream media making this point. Real democracy terrifies the corporate media. Real people rising up and demanding their rights is a terrifying proposition for a media structure that would rather keep people distracted by irrelevant circus acts like Fox News employee and corporate media creation Sarah Palin.

    $arah you are SUCH A FUCKING IDIOT.

    In the first part of your screechy ingorant Iowa "speech", blasted CORPORATE WELFARE, but then 10 minutes later, you propose NO CORPORATE INCOME TAXES for business?

    That's astoundingly stupid. And even if you were President, you CAN'T MAKE TAX LAWS!!. DId you know that? Oh, that's right, it's that other thingy, that department of Congress, remember?

    I guess someone never proofread your speech, or did you go all "rogue" and such like, also too,
    while reading it yourself!!!

    And by the way, if that was a "Major" policy and position screech, you utterly failed.

    Crowd of maybe 1500

    All white, mostly overweight fried butter eaters.

    Typical lies about "exceptionalism", like that's the touchstone of all reality for carbon based life forms her in the rill 'Merica

    Sure $arah, you can botox, makeup,
    and stuff your water bra, and your sycophants (look it up dear) will continute to send you their SS checks.

    But we know, that you know, that the bombshells are coming soon.

    When Cheney, Rove, and serious Repubs are all against you,the big guns of mud slinging will fire at will if you declare for President.

    Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace could tell a few tales, as well as anon238.

    And I bet that there are some others in Alaska that could have what you blithely (look it up $arah) refer to as a "come to Jeebus" moment, and dump your secrets like bucket of salmon chum.

    Just sit down and shut up $arah, your day of ruin is coming, and schadenfreude will be the order of the day.

    When you think about it --
    She did her fake family holiday.
    She showed up for a day at the Iowa fair.
    She showed up for the 'cult' last night but said nothing
    She gave a speech written for her today.

    When you consider how little energy she has expended to do this and look like hell -- how the hell could she expect to do 'daily stump speeches' -- in a different town, city, state every day. She'd need more than an Ad saying she is not a Witch!! She'd be old and dried up!!

    And this time she can't do what she did for the 8 or 9 weeks as VP candidate -- you can't give the same stump speech every day. It won't fly!!

    When you think of what was said by her handlers on the VP trail and that was only 8 or 9 weeks -- imagine what it would be like for months!!! Handlers will volunteer to lay down under the bus just to get away from her.

    Well I wouldn't put it past her to pay someone to "threaten her life" (or threaten to rape one of her gum-chewing daughters) in some way that is so terrible that she'll eventually announce that for the safety of her family that she's not running.

    Regarding the key she wears. She wore it along with the Star of David for a long time. The history of the symbol is important. The Jewish Faith holds this symbol as a reminder of the covenant with G_D. The symbol was hijacked by an interesting group. This link explains it, and Sarah wearing it is no coincidence, there are no coincidences in Sarahworld.
    She's symbolically trying to endear herself to both the evangelicals, the jewish faith, Israel, and thinks it's the perfect foil for her "blood libel" speech.

    Please do us a favor and sit your ass out cause no one CARES whether a troll like you go to the polls or not. Palin was a mess. A shell of her former self. It is pathetic that she keeps trying to relive the glamour of 2008 over and over again. If you care so much, encourage her people to get her the HELP she needs, and with the quickness. From Neiman Marcus to a muskrat wig and fake boobs. From thousands who at one time thought she was intelligent to a couple of hundred stragglers who really don't know any better. So sad for the FIRST BITCH of WASILLA!

    See Sarah, it really is true. You just don't have it. No class, no intelligence.....just a low class screecher of hate. Wow.

    ------------------------------

    I guess I'm "honored" at your outrage, however you are as blinded by your trust in Obama as Palin's followers are blinded by her charisma.

    People like you don't do the hard job of vetting sitting public officials, you just cast your vote emotionally and then stop paying attention to what they are doing.

    Obama is not doing many things that many of us that voted for him hoped he would do. The latest slap in our face is his lack of support for the clean air legislation that would curtail smog and other particulate air pollution. He once again caved in to the right and did their bidding, all while being a Democrat. Who needs the Tea Party when we have a Democratic Conservative in office as POTUS.

    So yea, I'd like to see someone give Obama a run for his money in the Primary. Someone who might actually give us the change that he promised.

    As it is, the Electoral College places the POTUS into office, not the voters, so really it doesn't matter whether we little people show up at the polls for the POTUS vote or not. The important elections are those where OUR VOTES actually matter. They don't matter for POTUS; that is out of our hands.

    When Sarah decides to finally live a non public life in peace with her family, you're all going to be lost. AND this country will still be in the shitter as long as establishment morons run it.

    It is so apparent that the media outlets are the only ones promoting Sarah Palin. I suspect it is being done only to increase their viewer numbers and radio listeners.

    All the polls show Palin is not in favor! Repubs don't like her and the teabaggers aren't all that impressed any longer.

    She is fake, a liar, proven to be unethical by the Legislature in Alaska, knows nothing (especially as to the oil industry and world affairs) and is a proven fraud.

    And, should she actually stick her nose out there and declare, the media is going to have a field day with it and that is exactly what they want. They suspect there will be a media opportunity to view and listen to the fight amongst the Texas fraud, poor Mrs. Bachman and idiot Palin! And, we'll get to watch Palin totally fall from grace with minute-by-minute - hour by hour - coverage!

    "Sarahs a pretty confident person. I think last night she was truly in deep thought mode when around her loyal fans. She doesn't want to let them down but shes realistic. She knows she inspires people and that people have risen up to fight the BS in DC.

    I saw pure introspection in her face last night."

    ****************************

    Who ARE you? Her drug dealer?

    What I saw in her face from the video of last night was fear and a totally beaten down look. She looked around at that crowd and thought "I spent my hard grifted dollars to impress THESE people?" Sarah knows things are crashing down around her and so does Todd. It shows in their faces. The speech today wasn't even a good pretense and I watched the entire thing.

    Please do us a favor and sit your ass out cause no one CARES whether a troll like you go to the polls or not. Palin was a mess. A shell of her former self. It is pathetic that she keeps trying to relive the glamour of 2008 over and over again. If you care so much, encourage her people to get her the HELP she needs, and with the quickness. From Neiman Marcus to a muskrat wig and fake boobs. From thousands who at one time thought she was intelligent to a couple of hundred stragglers who really don't know any better. So sad for the FIRST BITCH of WASILLA!

    See Sarah, it really is true. You just don't have it. No class, no intelligence.....just a low class screecher of hate. Wow.

    ------------------------------

    I guess I'm "honored" at your outrage, however you are as blinded by your trust in Obama as Palin's followers are blinded by her charisma.

    People like you don't do the hard job of vetting sitting public officials, you just cast your vote emotionally and then stop paying attention to what they are doing.

    Obama is not doing many things that many of us that voted for him hoped he would do. The latest slap in our face is his lack of support for the clean air legislation that would curtail smog and other particulate air pollution. He once again caved in to the right and did their bidding, all while being a Democrat. Who needs the Tea Party when we have a Democratic Conservative in office as POTUS.

    So yea, I'd like to see someone give Obama a run for his money in the Primary. Someone who might actually give us the change that he promised.

    As it is, the Electoral College places the POTUS into office, not the voters, so really it doesn't matter whether we little people show up at the polls for the POTUS vote or not. The important elections are those where OUR VOTES actually matter. They don't matter for POTUS; that is out of our hands.
    *****************************************************
    For the record, I never commented on my political persuasion. How arrogant of you to presume who I vote for. If you got a beef with the President, exercise your right to vote like any good citizen. But stop with the arrogant fortune telling, will ya? Palin is a bitch. A mean hateful, vengeful, uneducated, unclean, lying, racist, amoral BITCH. That was my point. How the hell did you glean my political leaning from my post? As I said, how arrogant. I know the President's record, I know Bush's record, I know McCain's record and the records of all of the other people out there, past and present. When it comes time to vote, I will cast my vote for the person I choose to, based on what I think is best for America. In the meantime, I will post on anti palin blogs cause I think that is what is best for America. And you can stuff your assumptions about my political leansing up your you know where!

    Shut the fuck up, you asshole!
    $arah Palin is not realistic, and people will rise up to fight her if she tries to run for president! America doesn't need her, or give a fuck what she thinks! $arah Palin inspires hatred, and people are sick of her BULLSHIT and she's not even in DC!

    Pretty tough talk!!How you going to rise up? Did you hit the streets when Bush was in office. The weak ass Dems won rise up for shit. Remember all that hope we voted for with Obama. It was truly just hope and I hope we can replace him with a real Dem

  192. I don't think she looked at all bad yesterday. In fact, I thought she looked pretty damn good. Let's just tell the truth, shall we? She looks normal, most Americans look fat. It doesn't mean that she's "sickly" or any of the rest of the terms that fat Americans are using to describe her lithe form.

    Seriously, people, there's so much to criticize her on, do we really need to randomly speculate on her looks? Don't we have anything else but her hair, her makeup, her padding (!), her clothes, etc.? She has a great body, she looks good, she's a marathon runner. And her politics suck! Yeah, I said it.

    First, I wouldn't take anything Mr. McGinnis has to say about bloggers to heart. Second, wholesale generalizations are cheap rhetorical tricks and mean nothing really--I could say "all farmers are rubes" or" all fishermen have no political impact" or "all people living in cities display hedonistic traits"" and I've said nothing of import or fact.

    Moreover, if Joe feels blogging is a waste of time why isn't he giving it up and getting off his a%% and pursuing political action as he advises his audience of bloggers, et al.?

    Finally, he is dead wrong that unpaid writing and writers penning political opinion and information outside the corridors of power have no impact. The Samizdat helped bring down the Soviet Union. Pamphleteers, Thomas Paine among many others, had enormous influence on the development of democracy in Europe and the US.

    It seems Mr. McGinnis feels the need to justify his pay of late. Be that as it may, his needless slurs and his gratuitous and selective reading of history display his own bias, vitriol, and lack of comprehension of basic facts.

    I'e always loved this blog and have never had any doubt on what Gryphen posts here. With that said, i just visited joe mcginnis's blog and I'm so pissed at him with his most recent rant. I was so into him for a while but he got weird in the past few weeks and tonight his post just turned my stomach. He is so AFRAID of palin and i'm really starting to wonder what the hell his book is REALLY about. He insulted the bloggers AGAIN tonight. What an asshole and I'm done with him. Screw his book. What a lowlife. Sorry if i offended anyone but I'm so pissed right now. Read his blog and tell me if you think I'm taking it wrong. Why is he always taking shots at the bloggers and especially Gryphen? He posted one rant about how bloggers are obsessed since they do this for free and with him it's legitimate cause he gets paid for it. Oh, really??

    I think he makes very valid points. It was obvious from last night's Machine Shed dinner that Palin doesn't even pay enough attention to her own dedicated bloggers at C4P to give them the benefit of a "thank you". If she doesn't know her own supporters, it's very doubtful that she pays much attention to the detractor's blogs.

    Joe is saying that our words are stronger on the street, engaged in a movement, rather than repeating the same dead talking points over and over on the blogs.

    Face it, babygate will be solved later or never. Palin will most likely never be hauled off in the "orange jumpsuit" that many hold out hope for. Palin will either run in 2012 or not, and either win or lose, or will hold out for 2016 and will either run then or not. She will continue to stir the emotions of those that find her an abhorrent individual for as long as she is alive and able to open her mouth.

    Joe is saying that there is more to life than beating on Palin and perhaps community and social engagement on behalf of what we believe in as individuals is more effective than typing invectives towards a Sarah Palin that never even reads them.

    Sharon--his is right about the bloggers, most people don't know we exist or do they care..we all need to get out and make sure Sarah never gets near the White House or anywhere else in Washington DC..she's a dangerous person and bitching about her on the blogs doesn't get out to the public..stop talking about her looks, no one cares, we need to talk more about her life, her record and yes the baby hoax.

    @7:56 PM Sharon,

    I went over to Joe's blog earlier and thought the same thing. So no it's not just you. Wow! He is something else. I think he might have mood swings like Sarah. Is he trying to stop people from reading his book? I have been suspicious of him ever since he disclosed that he was friends with Roger Ailes.

    6:52, you poor, submissive thing. I feel sorry for anyone in such an unstable marriage she'd be afraid to be seen so much as hiking without her fake-up. Or who feels her natural face is so abhorrent her husband might divorce her. Sweetie, stay away from the bo-bo. I hear it's addictive.

    Agree with him or not, an inquiring mind would like to know what the hell made Joe McG set that volley of cannon shots off on his blog tonight.

    Timing is everything - why now? Burning bridges like that is stupid - after all he does plan to go back to AK.

    Could he possibly be afraid that the dam will burst before Sept. 20 and water down his epic? Hmmmmm
