CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - A group called The Earthquake Movement is responsible for a series of Cedar Rapids billboard ads supporting Sarah Palin for the Republican presidential nomination.
An electronic billboard near The Ar-Jay Center on Council Street NE has recently been displaying a series of four advertisements involving Sarah Palin. None of the ads actually contain Palin's image, but include messages like, "Nominate Sarah Palin for President," and "Sudden and Relentless Reform - Delegates are Unbound," as well as "Palin 2012" and "Sarah Palin Supporters Unite."
According to an email from a representative of The Earthquake Movement, the group has sent informational packets to delegates around the country, asking them to be one of the five required majority state delegations needed to nominate Palin in the first round of voting at the Republican National Convention. The packets also ask for delegates to nominate Palin in the second round if presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney does not receive the required number of delegates in the first round.
The Earthquake Movement has also distributed information on Palin's "record, accomplishments and why we think she is the person who can excite the base and defeat President Obama in November."
"We are finding a lot of unhappy Republican voters," the email said. "They feel like the RNC is not listening to them and based on voter turn out in the primaries and what we are hearing from Conservative Americans, they want her to emerge from the convention as the nominee. They are also very angry that she was not given a prime time speaking spot at the convention and are wondering if the RNC is attempting to shut her out because her message resonates with so many of us fly-overs. Are they afraid if she speaks prior to the vote or at all, we will have an averted Reagan experience?"
Oh that is just about the saddest, most pathetic thing I have ever seen.
It reminds me of the people who insist that Elvis Presley never died. ("I done seen him at the Piggly Wiggly. The King is alive I tell ya!")
Gee NO wonder the Sea O'Pee has seemed more like a wake held in a mental hospital rather than a information blog these days.
Look Palin-bots come here for a second, let's speak frankly shall we?
Folks it's over, Sarah Palin is no longer relevant. Even you have to admit that she was kind of crazy and terminally under qualified to be the President of the United States. So you have to come to terms with the fact that she will never be a candidate for anything significant again.
In other words her political career is all but dead.
And I should know, because I helped to kill it.
Have a nice day.
When voting in November all Sarah Palin supporters should give Sarah a write in vote.
ReplyDeleteIf you are unhappy with Mitt (RINO) just write in Sarah Palin as your choice.
President Obama will thank you.
All of America will thank you! In fact, the entire world will be grateful not to have the two biggest liars in the GOP holding the nuke codes and the keys to economic stability.
DeleteAll 5 of them??
DeleteShhh.... on that last line.
DeleteMitt is 1000 times better than Obama, though the two are similar.
DeleteYeah, a 1000 times better at lying. Wait, make that a 1,000,000,000,000,000 better at it.
DeleteAnon. 10:42: Yes, indeed, President Obama and Mitt Rmoney are similiar- two eyes, two ears, one nose, one mouth, two hands, two legs...the difference is that Obama has a heart and Rmoney doesn't appear to.
DeleteThe funniest or saddest part of the e-mail is this: "because her message resonates." Uh, no it doesn't. She doesn't have a message. She only utters talking points and bitter vitriol aimed at the president. And she doesn't even utter them very well.
ReplyDeleteIt reasonates in their empty heads.
DeleteBravo 9:29! +1
DeleteThat must be the most pathetic thing I have ever heard of! ROFLMAO
ReplyDeleteBREAKING NEWS:
ReplyDeleteThe fashion consultant hired by the McCain campaign to dress Sarah jumped from the Golden Gate bridge and is missing.
She left a note indicating the outfits Sarah has worn the last two years had driven her to drink and left her no choice; and the superman shirt was the final straw.
Funny!!!! 😃😃
DeleteThe only earthquake movement Sarah can be sure to experience now is her menopausal bouts of hot flashes, sweats, weight gain around the middle, water retention, and mood swings. Oh, and don't forget bladder squirts when sneezing or laughing.
ReplyDeleteIt is over politically for the rogue. May she retire into the great Alaskan landscape.
I thought you would insert Bowel Movement Jokes Here with that idiotic Earthquake Movement nonsense.
DeleteNow you can transform the IM into a UFO-sighting hub. Or a Elvis-sighting site would be cool, too. I'm pretty sure that was him that snarled at me at WalMart last night when I cut him off getting into line. Sorry, Elvis, but I was in a hurry. He was pretty cool with the situation after I explained that I had ice cream in my buggy that I didn't want to melt.
ReplyDeleteSo sad about Sarah. At least she siphoned a few bucks off her fans. That's the least they could do for their quitter queen. Surely they will thInk their money was well spent for all of the good that Sarah did for herself and her family members who signed non-disclosure agreements.
I saw some old movie of Elvis on tour in the 60's, and I'm wondering what the attraction was. He looked bored, the girls were swooning, and they hustled him off the stage in a huge hurry when he was done. He also didn't sing all that well. I was a teen then, and remember him, but yuck.
DeleteI bet in 50 years, even the GOP will be saying YUCK when they see clips of the VP wannabe.
Hoo boy. Another conserva-celeb. Who died on his toilet as a result of prescription drug abuse. But loooooved America.

The myth is what keeps peeps relevant. He was hot in the beginning. Music lives on.
According to Sarah's fans, 95% of whom have neither been to Alaska nor could find it on a map that wasn't labeled already, she becomes a more outstanding Governor every time they talk to one another about her. Of course these are the same brainiacs that were picking out drapes for the White House for the Quitter Queen, so reality isn't a prerequisite to tell their "Say-rah sto-ree".
DeleteSarah went from a corrupt crony small-town politico to a self-created myth to a caricature of herself to a punch line in about the same amount of time it takes for one of her grazing fanbots to go through the buffet line at the Country Cookin' Restaurant on fried pork chop night.
Yes you did, Gryphon, and we are profoundly grateful!
ReplyDeleteI second THAT!!
DeleteGryphen, You WILL continue reporting on $arah sightings/word spews no matter what, right?!! We all know there is $till so much to reveal about the Quitter/clan. I can't wait to $ee if FOX keeps her on....
DeleteYes and thank you!
DeleteAnonymous 9:13,
DeleteLOL. It's sad how little life you have and how biased politically you are. You're the type who's let Obama get away with Cutting millions from medicare to pay for his precious obamacare. KIll grandma indeed.
I dread when the bulk of HCR is active.
go take a quaalude sarah..in fact take three and wash them down with a shot or two of tequila. :)
Delete10:41am
DeleteIt's difficult to hear ignorance like you spewed and not counter it with the facts, but it's obvious either you're just trolling or you're not going to listen to the truth anyway because at the end of the day, a (half) black man will still be President. That really burns your ass, doesn't it? lol. Get ready for 4 more years.
What is really sad is that the Sarah fan @ 10:41 obviously believes everything she hears, and is incapable of thinking on her own. This seems to be typical for most of FOX viewers who can parrot what they hear on Fox, but can't back it up. Saying Obama has cut millions from Medicare seems so ridiculous, particularly when you consider Ryan's budget would destroy Medicare. They only hear what they want to hear.
Delete10:41 am
DeleteYes, it's SO obvious that pro-$arah blogs are not politically biased. Please share with us the illustrious benefits of the R/R plan that will provide discount voucher coupons to apply against one's ever increasing insurance premiums. It sounds almost as beneficial as a 10% off coupon at Denny's. How silly you'll feel when you actually look into the cut you allege in the President's plan. His 'cut' gets plowed back into Medicare benefits unlike the Repug scheme.
Hey 10:41? Why don't you take your bullshit lies back to the sea of pee. I hear its time for the daily "I stand with Sarah" sing-along and you're late...
DeleteShe can portray herself as a victim all she wants, but the truth is - she did it mainly all on her own.
ReplyDeleteHUH? Yeah, she spreads lies about herself and makes up nasty stories to get to her?
DeleteYou're a sad sack.
Palin has told the public lie after lie after lie and shown her willful ignorance doing it. Other people saying things about her didn't bring her down. Sarah ruined her own career by being a world class QUITTER, telling stupid lies and spewing revengeful, hateful bile time after time after time. The public doesn't like a jealous, lying, nagging fishwife but she can't seem to help herself or stop her mouth. Yes she brought it all on herself by herself!
Delete@10:40
Delete7:12 here.
Well, let's just have a lookie-see, shall we?
This article lists thirty-two bold-faced Sarah Palin lies, with citations, documented prior to Nov. 15, 2009. Dozens more have been documented since then... would you like links?
Krusty, we know you don't read, or do research, and have a terminal aversion to facts. I'll meet your sad sack, and raise you a lying sack of shit.
The 'wild ride' story she tried to foist on the public should be the litmus test for judging how gullible and uninformed $arah bots have become. And let's not forget, that was in Quitler's own ghost-written approved words.
DeleteThe woman is raving mad in both senses of the word. She's angry that her little scheme didn't work and she's obviously a bit crazy to think it would have.
Even Jesus Christ himself, if he was a US citizen, couldn't be put up for nomination for president. The stupid ass Palinturds refuse to read the rules this time around put up by the Eepublican Party specifically to keep Palin out of it. "To be placed into nomination one must win a plurtality of votes in 5 states". The only way around is if Romney quits his campaign, which he will NEVER do!
ReplyDeleteRules? You expect the Roguess to abide by someone's stupid rules? She's above the law, not to mention some old GOP rules of order. By God, she will have this! She didn't invest a cent of her own money, never bothered her little brain learning any facts about anything, spent her time curying favor with Mark Burnett so they could scam Alaska out of more cash, and these people think she is worthy of a POTUS nomination? Why, for God's sake? What has she ever done or said that indicates she has an iota of the knowledge, tact and basic good sense needed to run a nation? She hired out her mayor's job, and Toad, the uneducated, ran Alaska for her. Who would it be in the WH? Piper?
DeleteJust think, if Sarah had actually listened to GOP advisers, had returned to Alaska and governed effectively, had made an effort to learn national and international policy, and had lived a quiet, professional, respectful life she could actually be the Republican Presidential nominee.
ReplyDeleteFortunately for all of us she's a lazy famewhore who couldn't be bothered to do the work that could have brought her back to the GOP Convention without any silly delegate stunts. Now instead of sending out *starbursts* with a convention speech, she and all her plastic parts will posting on facebook about whatever tacky reality show her famewhore family is on, while swallowing the bile of watching Romney & Ryan on the stage that could have been hers. Poor refrigerator, it's going to be in for a rough few weeks.
Yeah, if she had done any of that, she wouldn't be Sarah Palin.
DeleteThat's all fine but it would've been a lot of work for Sarah to have to do. She doesn't want to do the work of the job. She just wants the title and the perks. Wasn't that fairly obvious after she hired a city manager to run the operations of a very small town of less than 10,000 people?
DeleteWell put 7:16. It is SO fortunate that Paylin's insatiable lust for fame, money, and drama completely derailed her deluded dreams of being the "beauty contest winner"
DeleteThat's mostly all she's ever wanted is attention, adulation, and people fauning at her presence.
All that policy/work stuff is just for smartie types, dontcha know.
A big thank you Gryphen for SUDDEN AND RELENTLESS pressure on the Wasilla Wanker to keep her from ever being taken seriously again.
Now all that remains is the outing of all the Gates, like Baby, Dairy, House, et al.
It has appeared that politics was a means to an end to have higher paying gigs on television. Nothing wrong with having career ambitions nor seeking or accepting lucrative offers.
DeleteIt is their dishonesty and false claims they later deny their duplicity by playing the victim that someone else lied.
Obviously the trolls are convinced everyone lies but the Palins. It's everyone else to blame
Palin will not be POTUS, Bristol did not win DWTS which would nail the presidency, and Bristol works full time as the manager of derm office while living in other states, absent from AK. Whatever...
And that next to last sentence is wh.y I will always love you, Gryphen!
ReplyDeleteGryphen, where are your manners? You forgot to say You're Welcome!

Video Todd Palin, One Man Army
http://www.nbc.com/stars-earn-stripes/
Anonymous6:17 AM
To quell the outrage of Tutu and others, Todd Palin has offered them discount rates on his prostitutes.
Todd has told the girls he pimps to give 50% discounts to all Nobel prize winners.
------------------------
OK I get it now. The only way Nobel prize winners can get sex is to pay for it.
Let's try this again.
How's the Desmond Tofu protest coming along for Stars Earn Stripes?
More specifically, will the show be on the air Monday.
And then there's the Jack Osborne boycott. How's that working out?
The fact that these learned people made a stand is enough. Toad's ratings wil fall sure as Sarah and Bristol's did. And you are sick if you think this show does wnything but glorify war. And that is not helpful to the US or the world.
Delete7:25 AM As far as I can tell SES is going to be on. With all the d-list Republican celebrities why is Todd is made into some super hero? Who came up with that nonsense? Brurnett? General Electric? Department of Defense? All in unison? Why are they writing that script for Todd Palin? Sarah's goose is pretty well cooked but she loves a good come back. Todd and Brancy are keeping the flame burning until Sarah has re-do?
DeleteThe reviews are all the same across the board: it's awful, and offensive and boring. Even on conservative sites:

The Jack boycott is stupid. he's stupid for thinking he could do those things with MS.

DeleteThanks for your insight. Now, it's time for you to run along back to your "facility".
Don't you have a check you need to write to Sarah PAC? Her funds are getting a little low, and Sarah wanted to take the family somewhere fun for Labor Day Weekend coming up soon. I mean, she sure as hell isn't coming out of her OWN pocket for the expenses now, is she?
Support the Quitter Queen today with your best one-time love offering. Remember, it's for your country, not for the personal benefit of Sarah and her band of Wasillabilly grifters.
10:39
DeleteLet's see. Two sentences, each using the word "stupid". Expansive vocabulary?
How did you get past the men in white jackets to find your way here? Never mind, I'm not really interested in hearing your pitiful story. Go tell it to Sarah. But just go.
The Palinbots remind me of flies, you remove the sh!t (Sea4Pee) they were on, and they just take off in all directions with no particular place to go. It seems with nothing at Sea4Pee anymore, they are just wondering looking for places to protect their sacred cow.
DeleteThe GOP is finding out what happens when they do not invite Sarah to the prom. She is the town slut who no one invites to the prom and who stands outside the school gym offering a quickie and a chance to catch an STD to the boys. Can we expect Sarah to "crash" the party?
ReplyDeleteI hope that the Iowa crisis services are ready for the uptick in patients after the inevitable Epic Fail at the non-convention-at-the-shopping-mall. The Palin-bots are the real victims in all this.
I worry that she is more like the Carrie who looks at the party going on inside without her and firebombs the place with everyone inside. She is a vindictive hateful person and will not go away quietly.
Delete"The Palin-bots are the real victims in all this."
Delete-----------------------------
I stopped feeling sorry for them long ago. The evidence is all around them and has been presented top them numerous times that Palin is not what she was marketed as being. They made a choice not to listen, because they preferred listening to someone spout a message of lies, rage, and hatred. That does not speak well of them.
Or perhaps it was her message of sexual perversion that attracted them? Her focus on men and their impotency, limpness, lack of cojones? Any man who didn't praise her was a rapist or a pedophile? Perhaps they enjoy it when she focuses attention on her young daughters as being sexually attractive to older men?
Her financial reports for SarahPAC are there for all to see. That they would contribute to any entity with such a low percentage of funds going to the purported cause doesn't speak well of them.
I don't feel sorry for any of them.
I have no doubt Palin will pull a Palin during the convention. Objectively she is not competent enough to be part of the Fox news team assigned to cover the convention. That would require speaking about people running and speaking for the party. Palin has a limited repertoire running PBO down and claiming her superiority in contrast. She degrades people then claims to be the superior opposite. Like Levi is a rapist to make Bristol an abstinent pure virgin. Like claiming junk food is the best parent in the world and veggies are evil parent, taking away your freedoms! Commie Michelle OBama!
DeletePalin will seek revenge that they are not The prominent reality tv family and first family blaming other people. Like Bristol blaming "haters" she did not win the mirror ball trophy. Lovers repeat your lies, will lie for you supporting your entitlement to get something for nothing and reflect you are the greatest of all!
Palin is "reloading" and the GOP had better prepare for the worst.
"Palin is "reloading" and the GOP had better prepare for the worst."
DeleteYou have no idea what she's doing. Considering how privately she lives now (a couple speaking events every 3 months), I'd say she is just enjoying life with family and friends.
Why don't you do the same if you're not going to treat republicans and democrats fairly.
"Privately she live now"?? Are you joking?? She's everywhere! On Fox, well Sean and Greta are the only ones who stoop low enough to have her on, but then she's at a Chik-fil-Hate supporting intolerance, or at a rally wearing a superman shirt and fuck me boots, or at a Hollywood event wearing wrap-around sunglasses..Oh, please. Privately she lives now?? What the hell are you smoking???
DeleteSad troll at 10:38:
DeleteJust because the Palin family is completely creeped out by your stalking that they have alienated you from their private Facebook pages and sent you cease and desist letters does NOT mean they are trying to live more privately. They are just trying to keep YOU out of their business. Sarah Palin is pathetically desperate to have another RNC moment...that was the highlight of her popularity. It will never happen again, fortunately.
Sarah has no friends. This is a fact.
DeleteKristy, I'd call you shit-for-brains but then shit would get mad at me.

Delete"Reloading" is what Palin does in her own words "don't retreat, reload!". Have you not observed her pattern? No one has to be best personal friends to accept the Palins' public behaviors.
"Past behavior is the best indicator of future behavior." -Dr. Phil
Lol quite life or on the down low with camera crews penciling promotint the "real" person and "real" life ROFL
The Earthquake Movement must agree with the term "the undefeated" applied to Palin. In kindness I credit them with an insane loyalty to their political idol. My recollection is this movement began after the Palins demonstrated how they would "educate America" or be teachin history of our exceptional country on their now infamous family vacation to impress people with their love of the constitution, liberty and fightin for freedom! Paid for by Sarah Pac and minus half the family. At our nation's capital Palin taught us to appeal to bikers and what not to where. It was SO educational to highlight Rolling Thunder! Hot chick- not
ReplyDeletePalin even mangled Paul Revere's history like she tangles up talking points. She has no reflection, demies even the words and meaning out if her mouth.
Earthquakers, after the faux bizarre summer stunts were driven Palin ought to be president. OMG
I wonder if these Earthquakers live in facking areas, and have been drinking too much methane?
DeleteDon't forget, she wasn't even invited to Rollin Thunder. She tried to speak and they wouldn't let her. But the best of all is that lovely frowning picture someone so perfectly captured. That picture of her will forever be in my mind. I don't know if that is a blessing or a curse.
Delete"Sudden and Relentless Reform...?" More like "Sudden and Relentless Retardation."
ReplyDeleteSarahbots are a bunch of fracking RE-tards.
DeleteWhat a miserable pathetic failure the whole Palin family turned out to be. Now GE and NBC are glorifying what is left, the alleged he-men of Ak. Track and Todd Palin at fake military playtime. Not once did they ever prove Track was in Iraq for a year or that he even guarded Col Thompson, Burt had to take that back, so what was Track doing that the Col lied for him? Did Track actually go to Afghanistan or was that also staged?
ReplyDeleteSad sack of a family. Hope the next phase is to get them all in prison doing hard time.
Palin's mistake was that she was lured by the siren's call of celebrity, money and fame. If she had stayed in politics and worked with it instead of "going rogue" she would have had a viable political career. Don't laugh. It's true. Our Congress is full of know-nothing, do-nothing, partisan, lobbyist ass-kissing crooks. Sarah could do all of that. I'll bet you can name a dozen without stopping to take a breath. I could start with my own state - Jason Chaffetz - Sarah could cause at least as much obstructionism as that guy.
ReplyDeletePaul Ryan is the new Sarah Palin. He, too, will be relegated to softball interviews on Fox because he is just as unknowledgeable as Sarah and can't answer questions either. He has as much international experience and college education as Sarah and less executive experience. Like Sarah, he is only there to keep up the anti-Obama rhetoric. At least Sarah could work a crowd.
The only difference between Paul Ryan and Sarah Palin is that he lacks her charisma. When all of this is over there will be no Paul Ryan fan clubs around but Sarah's supporters will still be there.
They are both out of their comfort zones. Sarah's protective bubble was Alaska - she can handle people but can't run the national stage. Paul Ryan has lived in his congressional bubble for so long he is completely removed from the rest of the world. He can run the national scene but can't stand to be around people.
DeletePaul Ryan is the English-speaking Sarah Palin. (h/t Bill Maher)
DeleteI think no matter what Sarah chose to do she would fail because of her stupidity. Even if she had remained governor, studied, stayed away from celebrity, she would still be basically too stupid to not make egregious mistakes. On balance she would fail more often than she succeeded, which is the case now and will always be the case when you're that f'king dense. Along with that is her anger, spite, constant fabrication, and lack of empathy. Nobody with this package gets far without self-destructing.
DeleteO please,please please, we need to encourage this. So many Republicans(otherwise intelligent people) I know are really close to not voting this year because they are either disgusted or depressed with the presumptive nominee. Sarah Palin being the nominee would secure the Republican non-vote and might even cause a mass exodus from the party.

Gryphen, I haven't logged on to your wonderful page daily (and sometimes twice or thrice daily) just to have Sarah Palin disappear into infamous obscurity.
ReplyDeleteI want the whole denouement: the explanations, the murder investigations, the confessions, the paternity disclosures, the admissions of fraud against the American public. The Whole Deal. If this is the end, are we just giving up finding out the truth?
Nobody is giving up on anything.
DeleteHowever surely you understand that for many people in the know there seems little reason to expose the lies about a person who is already so irrelevant. Especially if it can cause them a great of deal of difficulty in their personal lives.
I do think we will know a lot more in the future, but I am also aware that it is unlikely that we will ever know EVERYTHING.
Very true BUT the continuing significant story is the media's failure. THAT IS THE BIGGEST SCANDAL AND NEEDS ADDRESSING.
DeleteI suggest that someone really "in the know" arrange an interview. See his site at "WhoWhatWhy" for a look at the type of issues he addresses.

DeleteThe fact that she fucking faked a special needs pregnancy for politics is HORRIBLE and needs to be exposed so that never EVER EVER again will a Lunatic be the VP nominee of the US.

They question had nothing to do with Todd. They aren't even Todd's ratings.
They are ratings for Stars Earn Stripes..a tv show.
Do you seriously believe the show is not helpful to the US or the world. It's a TV show.
Don't you get that?
Todd isn't making the show all about Todd, you are doing that.
I think they mean the 'impact' Todd Palin has on the show. It is negative and the concept of the show is horrible - veterans are on record as to having said that!!
DeleteThe Palins just plain out bring 'negative' to anything they touch!!
Yes, I seriously believe Stars Earn Stripes is not helpful to the US or the world. Or to soldiers. Or to the cause of peace. Or to a mature assessment of how a standing army should be trained, deployed and supported and who should serve.
DeleteThe participants are making millions (they are getting paid) while tossing a few pennies to charities so that, e.g., a few veterans can go halibut fishing. (Todd's choice).
Meanwhile medical care for veterans is delayed or denied and soldiers in combat wind up like the West Point major profiled in the NY Times with permanent brain damage. (He wishes he had lost his limbs.)
Military service is not a game.
The show is a travesty. Of course an unethical secessionist con man would want to be associated with it.
"Todd isn't making the show all about Todd, you are doing that."
DeleteEXACTLY. The ONLY reason Sarah Palin is still a name is because desperate bloggers who are allergic to truth about Obama and nasty people here refuse to let her live in private. Notice how this year alone she's only had a couple public gigs, yet you constantly talk about her and speculate on her actions.

Sorry sniffer at 10:29. We actually do want to help $arah live her life privately. In fact we lobby for that daily. She is the one who refuses to settle for a private life. She proves it every time her bobble head pops up on Faux repeating the same tired and tedious ad hominem attacks on the President.
DeleteSad??? Hardly, deliriously happy in most of our cases because we helped stop a crime against America.

If your side actually represented the majority, Palin would be front and center in the Repug movement right now. She never had a chance nor wanted one to find any support on the liberal progressive side and now most of the conservatives have said they don't want her either.
It's ironic that you bleat about our spending time on blogs while you are right here with us. lol
Bye Bye Sarah...now on to important tasks at hand. I found this at Daily Kos...it's how the loss of Medicare under Ryan/Romney's plan will affect his Wisconsin district & more. Really important and needs to be shared by anyone~everyone!

Woohoo, Thank you, Gryphen! It's about time this sleazy, grifting, lying, ignoramus is history. She should be wearing a poison alert sign..she's full of contaminants. This country is definitely not better because of her.
ReplyDeleteI hope Fox doesn't renew her contract It is the next step toward irrelevance. She needs to spout her bile from the head of a pin not from a platform at a widely viewed propaganda outfit.
DeleteI hope that Fox renews her contract. Every time she speaks more people realize just how dumb she really is.
Deletemore people realize just how dumb she really is. AND WHAT CRAP FOX NEWS IS CHITTING ACROSS THE USA.
DeleteSo many dumb people lick it up!
Sarah's groupies apparently figure they should root for her in 2012 because the world is going to end anyway.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, a spokesman for the Earthquake Movement also urges Sarah's followers to work to reunite Pangea, to repeal the 18th Amendment, to free Floyd Collins, and to stop plate tectonics!

One of my two favorite bumper stickers from my time in Fairbanks:
Delete"Stop continental drift!"
Romney must be tickled pink to have this bitch after his balls.
ReplyDeleteWho on earth is stupid enough to start this Earthquake movement? Sarah?
As far as Toad being a superhero.Burnett seems to be in bed with Sarah and Toad. What a threesome.
Don't forget, Bristol and Willow lived in his house in LA in Life's A Tripp. Burnett has a hard on for the Palins.
DeleteWho calls him a superhero? Why do people exaggerate? Fans of the other contestants say the same things about them as Todd's fans do.
DeleteActually, it's foursome. He's married to that "actress" from Touched By An Angel...Something Downey?
Delete10:26
DeleteTodd's FANS?? Are you serious? You think that purse toting pimp has FANS? Is there a fan club you're trying to promote now? Do you give out autographed pictures with every donation or something?
Holy shit you're a dumbass.
Ya know what Kristy? No matter how much you pander and grovel, no matter how many posts you make her supporting the Palins, they are NOT going to take you into their inner circle. They don't want you around, they, along with everyone else here, know that you are fucking nuts, you pathetic piece of stinking slimy shit. So get a clue and get some help and go away.
Delete4:32 lol
DeleteYou've got a big one there on your hook!
Todd's fans? I wanna see a group picture to see if they look like a Victoria's Secret Model Shoot is about to take place. Somehow, I doubt it. Let's see, you have Wallow, Brisket, Krusty, BreeAnus from C4P, RAM and her wife, Ivy Frye. Have I missed anybody?
The Earthquake movement is a group of C4Peers who was formed after she made the announcement that she wouldn't run for Pres. They started the movement to convince her to run & to show her the legions of fans just panting to nominate her. I don't think she got even 1,000 to sign up. Thought they had gotten the message - they haven't. Poor pathetic losers - just like Sarah.
ReplyDeleteC4P or someone has a petition out now to inform the RNC that she MUST be allowed to speak. C4Pers were arguing among themselves yesterday about whether that was a good move or not. Thought it might make her mad since she SAID she wasn't going to speak but they decided to sign to "symbolically" show their support for her. OMG!
They'd drink her toilet water after a she dropped a stinky loaf..
Deleteoh look it's another recipient of sarahpac postage. hahahaa you're a LOSER sarah! setting up fake front orgs for sarahpac is pathetic.
ReplyDeleteOh, "She Who Will NOT Be Ignored Narcisstic Nobody" isn't done yet in HER mind. If I had a few extra bucks, I'd pay your air fare and lodging to report from the adjacent strip mall in Tampa, Gryph.
ReplyDeleteYou KNOW she's going to further embarrass herself and, after the gym incident with you and Dennis all those years ago when she took your license plate number, I say gloat until the cows come home! You knew it then, and we know it now thanks to you!
Forever indebted!

I live in Tampa and would be glad to inform you what she was up to, but have you ever been in Tampa in August? The humidity is bad enough, but then you add temperatures in the 90's and you end up with a heat index of about 105-110 degrees. I have trouble thinking people will even escape the cool indoors of the convention to go to her mall site. There is a trolly they can take but its open without any air conditioning.
DeleteAnd unless they post guards at each entrance of the convention to stand as look outs for Sarah trying to crash the convention, I see her crashing the convention just to get the attention of the press.
I went down to a show in Tampa in late May. Having been down in summertime to Tampa/St Pete, I was prepared. But there were a few ladies that were not, and still caked on their makeup the way Sarah does. And they wilted the same way Sarah does with her bangs dropping in her face.
DeleteBut that was day 1. After that, most people adjust and progress up the learning curve. After seeing what Sarah looked like in KC recently, she will melt down there if she gets outside sweating like a pig. Send us pics if she shows up and only gets local coverage. But I don't think she can stand the humiliation of being in town all dressed up but nowhere to go to.
And that she will. Throw water, she'll melt. Thank you in advance!
DeleteRomney and Co better get busy and dish the dirt NOW. Expose her venom completly or suffer.
ReplyDeleteI don't give a hoot about Romney but he cares about his nomination. It is going to be a farce and a riot, with her troublemakers in the convention hall.
I want to see him shit his pants at the debates, you know he will!!!
DeleteMuch as we would all like to take some credit for the demise of SP's political career, she's the one who did it best.
ReplyDeleteAnyone watch MSNBC today at noon? The show had Meghan McCain as a guest and she opened the door on Palin with her remarks about Joe Biden not being fit to run for Vice President. So Sarah Palin was? And Meghan choked. She tried to work her way out of it, but she could only say that she "really liked Sarah when we were on the campaign trail together." Since then? Not much, I'll bet. It was delicious and I hope that someone can find a replay of the segment.
ReplyDeleteMeghan should have choked when someone was stuffing Bristol into that weird get up she paraded at the McCain convention. She and her mother must have noticed a nursing mother. Whoever was nursing Trig, had he been nursed. what bull they all are. They should all choke on their own spit and vomit.
DeleteForever it will be about the process of vetting a VP. Forever ALL that follow will be compared to the McCain choice and way to vet. What a crazy stretch it was to move into the daughter's boyfriend's mother's house of the un-vetted McCain choice, Sarah Palin.
The whole McCain family is nuts. They have that criminal blood going back to the henchman father of Cindy.
Meghan McCain is pathetic. Please, go to college, get an actual education and then come back and be a 'political pundit.' Being the daughter of a loser candidate for president does not make her astute and/or intelligent. My God, we already have Bristol Palin weighing in on Rmoney's choice of Ryan! How much lower can these Republicans get???
DeleteActually Meghan graduated from college, but that had nothing to do with why she does a segment now and then on MSNBC. It's strictly her name recognition from having a famous last name. That, and having big titties that she's more than willing to show off.
DeleteBut compared to any of the re-tard Palin goof offs, Meghan is an intelligent policy wonk.
Meghan once mentioned the campaign had her meet or work with an image cinsultant. Then Palin was the pick and in comes an unmarried pregnant teen!
DeleteMeghan M may think Biden was the lesser choice. Cinsidering "Putin ...where does he go?...don't know what the job I just agreed to is...pick it would be wise to choose another topic.
I do give her and "mommy" credit for doing the NoH8 campaign shots. Just wish they'd keep wearing the duct tape as a signature accessory, you know, like Madeline Allbright's pins!
DeleteIt is a positive to have an education. But McCain's are trapped. even is=f their education tells them that told dude is a lunatic, he is family and they have to pretend he is 'alright.' they will lie and sell their soul to the devil to protect the idiot father figure they are stuck with. Sad, but they that makes them empty screwballs.
DeleteWho is he kidding??? Because he VOTED to send people into an illegal war, he has foreign policy? Sort of like seeing Russia from Alaska...
ReplyDeleteSpeaking to Fox News’ Carl Cameron Saturday morning, Republican VP nominee Paul Ryan made the case for why he believes his foreign policy credentials are stronger than President Obama’s, emphasizing that he has been a voting member of Congress longer than the president. Ryan cited his votes in favor of the Iraq War as evidence that he has had more foreign policy experience than Obama.
“I’ve been in Congress for a number of years,” he told Cameron. “That’s more experience than Barack Obama had when he came into office.”
“I voted to send people to war,” he added.
As a congressman, Ryan voted for the 2002 Iraq Resolution which authorized President George W. Bush to use military force in Iraq. He also voted in favor of the Iraq War troop “surge” in 2007.
The VP nominee then went on to make the case for presidential nominee Mitt Romney‘s vision of “peace through strength,” adding that President Obama’s foreign policy has, thus far, failed to accomplish that.
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/paul-ryan-on-foreign-policy-credentials-i-voted-to-send-people-to-war/
Ignore any moron who says they had more experience than PBO unless they actually WERE president. At this point, PBO has more experience than anyone in this era, this set of conditions, this economy. Who gives a damn about a bozo who has been sucking up the taxpayer dollars since he was a wienermobile driver? That's experience!?! Like being mayor of a 8000 person Podunk town in AK--more executive experience and all that bullshit.
DeleteRyan went on Fox News?
DeleteWow! Who saw that coming?
Ryan is another murdering fool. The rest of the world is on to American stupidity and war crimes. We are the last to know. It is called doomed.
Delete@10:29 am:
ReplyDelete"The ONLY reason Sarah Palin is still a name is because desperate bloggers who are allergic to truth about Obama and nasty people here refuse to let her live in private. Notice how this year alone she's only had a couple public gigs, yet you constantly talk about her and speculate on her actions."
You have your head so far up your ass your poop has no room. Sarah Palin live a private life??? You keep me posted on that, cause it sure seems to me she wants to be in my face all the fecking time.
If she could handle private life, she wouldn't have knocked up daughters, a pimp husband-in-name-only, all the plastic surgeries, and the wild ride biggest lie of all.
DeleteShe who didn't need a title. Yeah, right. I'm enjoying the free fall and she brought it all on herself.
hahahahahohohohoheeheeheehee
Delete{{{ wiping my eyes }}}
That is rich snark :)
Sarah is the equivalent of Flav-a-Flav with shoe bling instead of the clock bling.
DeleteHe has foreign policy experience because he coveted to send people to war?
ReplyDeleteHAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!
Next he'll be citing Wisconsin's proximity to Canada. ("When Harper rears his head, where does he go? Lake Superior!")
"voted" not "coveted" although coveted applies to a lot of things vis a vis Romney/Ryan.
DeleteToo funny, too funny!
DeleteAnd I'm a pro baseball player because I was wearing my Cardinals hat today in the sun. I've been wearing it since I got it 2 summers ago... I guess that give me almost three years of experience at the major league level.
DeleteSad that anyone would think voting to send people to war is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and I don't understand why anyone would think that's a positive answer, especially to his foreign policy experience. What an idiot!
DeleteMany in the R/R base are not known for being legendary thinkers. Ryan is trying to convey his creds as a "statesman" like he was debating the war issue on the floor of the Senate against a legenday orator who was in opposition.
DeleteInstead, Ryan was voting the way the House Whip told him to on each of George Bush's bills consistently.
But hearing Ryan say this reminds me of Sarah bragging about her "business and job-creating" expertise as well as her "executive" experience. In both cases, Ryan and Palin are puffing up their credentials with words that might be impressive until you actually examine their roles, which were minimal.
If you watch her facial contortions while she spits her nonsense on Fox (with the sound off of course), you can see the venom seething beneath the surface. She is all twisted up inside. She is consumed with hate.
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised, not at all; I have been expecting something of this nature although I had no idea what form it would come in.
ReplyDeleteOne must also remember this is just the beginning of Act II and we don't know what the script has in store for us although we can probably figure out who wrote it.
Personally I hope Palin is successful because in the long term I believe it will eliminate two problems: Romney, and her. Both will go down in flames, and in her case it may not be so literal, either.
I'm not sure what to think of Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteI would help you there but there's no point in causing both of us severe nausea. Let's just NOT think about her. Besides, it drives her craz-y (ier?) when she's ignored.
DeleteCan I help you with that Anthony? Many of us in Alaska can sure help you form and opinion of Sarah Palin. For starters, she quit her elected position to make a reality show and sell books. That should be all you need to know. If you need to know more perhaps you should mine this blog and many other Alaska blogs for information that might assist you greatly in forming your opinion. Just the mere fact that Alaskans are ever so grateful that this family spends more time in Hollywood and Arizona and NOT in Alaska should be enough to get you started. We're crossing fingers and toes that they finally pull up stakes and leave for good and leave Alaska to the REAL ALASKANS!
DeleteWho is the poor soul getting the wonky hairy eyeball in that pic?
ReplyDeleteThe Toad, that's who! The purse carrier whose balls are in said purse!
DeleteLike a previous commenter I also remember this Earthquake idea from some time ago. I am positively thrilled that they are going through with it. The icing on the cake will be if it gets some media traction. I sincerely hope it does because I believe that she will get some pretty negative flack over it.
ReplyDeleteFolks, anything that she does to reveal her true colors and escalate the obviousness of how petty, jealous and bitter she is, then all the better! It gives the media more chances (and hopefully continues to build the momentum) to discuss her in the context of who she really is. She can't seem to keep the lid on the salad bowl of her mouth which gives me the feeling that she will say or do things that are unhelpful (I'm being kind) to the R/r campaign. The more she needles and embarrasses them the likelier they will be to strike back. And that's a good thing!

Now THAT'S a bumper sticker!!
Awesome! I want one.
DeleteDump Mitt. Draft Sarah.
ReplyDeleteSeveral months ago, I watched some C4Pers create their 'Earthquake' movement in only a couple of days, all through their website comments section. In particular, there was one young woman, still a student, who went by the name 'Jasmine'.
ReplyDeleteI thought, this is really kind of great...recalling how difficult and time-consuming it was to organize in the anti-war era of the 60's. Here was 21st century grass-roots democracy in action.
But, what they are organizing around? Really?
Here is a comment from earlier today, directed at Jasmine (who seems to not post at C4P much anymore):
"My view is she[Sarah Palin] was always 'too cool for the room, " meaning her power and prestige are so far greater than all the elephants can muster among them that they just couldn't withstand the starkness of the comparison. She was too big and too hot to handle for them, and she's only more so now. She's just plain bigger than they are and we all know it.
And rather than dwelling on why that is or is not fair etc. she's gone beep beep zoom and is down the road making positive use of it. As usual she's left nearly everyone in the dust and is miles ahead of the elephant herd and the yapping packs.
If this girl isn't making lemonade she's making silk purses. She's an inspiration to behold.
The convention issue has only upped her game and underscored her creds as America's cutting edge voice. She neatly followed through with a major and hugely public right hook to the Left's jaw that's still got them stumbling and mumbling. I feel sure this message was not lost on the elephants and their mittmahout. They all know full well that what she does to barky today will make what she does to them from this time forward look tame by comparison. She needs us to understand this, I think, and to be ready for the battle.
She's put the donkey herd in a box canyon and drives the elephant herd into a controlled stampede. It's all about the work for her, eyes forward and pressing on with her head high and scanning the horizon.
So no, other than sign the online petition offered in symbolic support (..sorry I don't have the link, but if you click on Mary Beth House's activity you'll find it easily), it doesn't appear there's anything to be done. The Governor has clearly moved on and I think this is good.
Glad to see ya. Your interest in public affairs is always an encouragement."
Clearly there are huge dichotomies in how 'they' see the world. How will we ever find common ground?
On another vein, is there anything that the IM community could/would rally around and support? One thing, the core C4Pers are evidently mostly home-bound; as I am due to illness. They will slog it out over trivia and perceived insults to them or their 'Queen Esther' for hours. They are infuriatingly uninformed, to my judgement, but also persistent in 'walking their talk' to the extent of their (often limited) resources.
Anyone else have comments on this?
Aurora
"Clearly there are huge dichotomies in how 'they' see the world. How will we ever find common ground?"
DeleteI don't think for the most part we will ever find common ground. It's just who we all are, varied people, varied opinions. But how do you deal with people that think like this:
"First things first barry met miss robinson while clerking at a lawyers office. She was a close friend of Bernardine dohrn wive of bill ayes. This was an arranged marriage to further the ones career. they where married by rev(sic) wright ex muslim fraud at trinity church. two girls then appeared somewhat magicaly and we nothing about them other than they do not look like either parent (loners from a relative ? ) all this was done to hide a terrible truth"
There is no dealing with, rationalizing with, or compromising with people that would write or believe the above statement. C4P and other right wing sites are full of them, and Faux and the Gop exploit them.
You helped kill her career. And, that is why I check in with you everyday. There were some days that I thought that she was going to bounce back. But, you kept going and I appreciate it. Given that that you are putting yourself in harms way, and saved me a beaucoup amount of money if I had to move to Canada or Australia, you are my hero.
ReplyDeleteIts fun to watch them complain about the "leaches" and takers,you know,those on
ReplyDeleteMedicaid,SS,welfare,etc,then they screw up like "Pete" and start complaining about how no one will hire them,they haven't worked in years,unemployment is not enough money.Guess he is a "leach",after all.
I am a life-long Cedar Rapidian. I am more than embarrassed. This billboard is only a couple of miles from my home. Please understand that we are not all as dumb as whoever is paying for these billboards.
ReplyDelete4:50 Kathy
DeleteIf you get a chance to pass by and take a pic, send it to Jesse. The only way the billboard is a reflection on you or your values is if you helped pay for the ad on the board. Otherwise, it's always nice when dummies come into our city and spend money, too. We certainly accept it cheerfully, but we do lock the doors at night after they're gone.
As my Dad used to say, "Some people have more money than sense, and they'll spend until they're broke proving that to be a fact."
I'm going out on a limb and going to say there's a lot more "Kathys" there than Palinbots. Lots more. Keep Iowa Blue!
Me too, and I can't tell everyone how grateful I am that we are not all being painted with this crazy-people brush. Cedar Rapidians overwhelmingly tend to be kind, thoughtful, hardworking, and sensible. PLEASE don't judge us on these nutballs.
DeleteI have a lot of friends who are unemployed--people who had nice salaries and nice homes. And, they whine all of the time and blame the President. All work in different fields but all are united by the fact that 1) they had a hint that things were not going well at their job so they should have been out looking or redefining themselves for the market place; and 2) mortgaged and remortgaged their homes to the hilt to maintain a level of lifestyle that they felt was due to them--now they are underwater. Regardless of who is President, one must take responsibility for how one chooses to live. Oddly, my out-of-work friends, who feel that a certain standard of living is owed to them because they are college graduates and white, are Republicans. I am a Democrat and am doing just fine.
ReplyDeleteI've shared the same experience. We've always lived below our means, saved for our kid's future,our retirement, and remained in our modest, but paid for, home. My husband lost his job and was fortunate to get a similar job about two months later, but we had a "cushion" to fall back on.
DeleteOur house is a home, and our investments are to make our money work for us, and we're not out to impress anyone.
My neighbors and friends all bought bigger houses and kept advising us to follow their lead. Now they're all whining that it's too much land to care for, their bills are too high, their "teaser rates" expired, the market is soft, etc. etc. They don't look happy nor healthy, but it's everyone else's fault.
And many of them are Democrats, to be fair.
Bye-bye, c-nt.
