First off this Bob Hepburn points out that Palin still has some rabid supporters who are always begging her to run:
Every day Bonny Gray prays she will soon turn on her TV and see that Sarah Palin has entered the U.S. presidential race.
“I am a believer in prayers being answered and I pray every night for you to be our next president,” Gray wrote two weeks ago in a Facebook post. “You against Hillary would be a sure victory for you.
......
Take Kristine Weaver Bryant, who like Gray is pleading with Palin to jump into the race. “If you don’t run, our country is ruined,” Bryant wrote in another Facebook post. “Please Sarah, it is time for a female president. Don’t let it be Hillary. We beg you!”
Well you know, Bob, crazy people want all kinds of things they will never get.
I once heard a person with schizophrenia begging Jesus to take him to Disney World.
Guess who didn't get to go?
Hepburn then goes to the polls:
A poll conducted for CBS News in January suggested 30 per cent of Republicans would like her to run, although 59 per cent disagreed. Only former Florida governor Jeb Bush, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney, who isn’t running, scored higher.
So almost 60% of Republicans don't want her to run, and this guy STILL thinks she should give it a shot?
But wait, he has more:
Still, there are many reasons why Palin should enter the Republican race, starting with the fact that she would bring fun and excitement to what now is a dull contest filled by white males with no charisma.
Palin, whose ego knows few bounds, could actually be a strong contender if she finally started to listen to her smart, well-paid political advisers, stuck to written texts and avoided those embarrassing off-hand remarks that have tripped her up in the past.
She has a strong base, especially among religious Republicans, and that base still believes in her. She has 4.4 million “likes” on Facebook and more than 1 million Twitter followers. She can easily raise the millions of dollars needed to run a serious campaign.
Okay, let's take these one at a time, shall we?
First off, I think Bob is mistaking barely contained lunacy for "charisma."
Second, most of Palin's well paid advisers are actually shadowy organizations that help her to laundry money, and those that actually DO advise are terrible at their job.
And thirdly, most of those Facebook and Twitter "likes" are bought and paid for with SarahPAC money, which by the way is drying up faster than water in California.
What else ya got, Bob?
And while I disagree with almost everything Palin and the Tea Party stand for, their voices do deserve to be heard.
No, Bob, no, they don't.
In fact, allowing the rabid Right Wing fringe to have a voice is how we ended up with a Greg Abbott as governor of Texas, a Ted Cruz as a Senator from Texas, and let's face it, it's how we ended up with a Texas.
Do you want another Texas, Bob?
No, Sarah Palin is yesterday's news. In fact, it's yesterday's news that the parakeet has already pooped on, and has been rolled up and used to beat the dog for humping our legs.
Having a handful of crazy people believe something is no reason for rational people to think it's viable.
If that were true we too would start seeing Elvis at the local Quicky Mart and start telling tales of being anally probed by aliens.
This alone should clue the guy in on why she is not a suitable candidate.
ReplyDelete"Palin, whose ego knows few bounds, could actually be a strong contender if she finally started to listen to her smart, well-paid political advisers, stuck to written texts and avoided those embarrassing off-hand remarks that have tripped her up in the past."
It's almost as though he is unable to comprehend his own writing.
I really would love her to run just for the entertainment value but even she isn't that stupid.
I thought it well written. He's calling her out to prove what she brays.
DeleteThe pee ponders believe she has no ego, just self-confident in her mission. Oh really! hahahaha
She may not run, but that doesn't mean she's not THAT stupid. She's so far beyond THAT stupid that no one can remember how THAT stupid was defined.
DeleteThat's what her supporters said after the 08 election, that she just needed to brush up a bit, polish her image, that she was rolled out too soon, and that she just needed to go back to Alaska, do a good job of finishing out her term as governor and she'd be a shoe in for prez in 2012. Well, we all know how well THAT worked out.
DeletePalin was convinced she needed to double down on attacking with lies reloading her smear campaigns. It I was obvious she chose to quit as governor and study nothing. Alas, she built a house of cards and it has fallen down.
Deletethere was no way to polish that turd. it was a done deal before the fourth of July. nobody was willing to cover for her as that would shine the spotlight on them too and also. hence the breathless speech and exit, stage right.
DeleteHonestly, I think this is some fairly subtle trolling.
ReplyDeleteThe last line clinches it for me...
"If she bombs out again, then everyone, including Bonny Gray and Kristine Weaver Bryant, can finally move on."
He's essentially saying "I dare you to do it, Scarah. It's your LAST chance!" Because when she tanks, she'll lose even her craziest hard-core clingers.
Commented right below you, 9:13 AM!
DeleteLike minds!
BINGO.
DeleteI disagree with one thing in your analysis, Gryph, and that is voices to be heard. There still is the First Amendment, let them yap away to their own demise.
ReplyDeleteI find it amusing that he brought up Rob Ford as a comparison to her. Hammer meet nail head!
What he was saying is "enough of the bullshit, $arah," in Canadian-speak. They are a polite people and he knows what she's doing. Last sentence. "they can finally move on."
C'mon, $arah, get the nuptials over with and trot out MOH and D'OH. Let's see what you've got and if "rill" America buys it.
My thoughts exactly on all points
DeleteSheesh
The First Amendment allows them to speak without fear of reprisal by the government. They are not owed or due a platform by anyone.
DeleteShould they be permitted to speak? Of course. Are they entitled to a platform to enable their views to be heard? No.
But she thinks she does, Nefer, that was my point. Just like the 2nd Amendment that has turned this country into each man for himself.
DeletePlease do not lump all Texans into the category of Cruz, Perry, Abbott, GWB, et al. That is just as wrong as the right wing filth those men spew from their mouths.
ReplyDeleteNot a Texas fan but they used to spit out some good politicians...House Speaker and VP John Nance Garner, House Speaker Sam Rayburn, Senate Majority Leader and President LBJ, Gov Ann Richards. What the fuck happened?
DeleteUnfortunately it's your own TX voters doing the lumping. We're just out here looking in on your fair state and wondering how so many people can be so gullible and uninformed.
DeleteI think a lot of Texans live on some sort of manufactured tough guy image of TX by going against mainstream thinking just to be ornery and tough. Too bad so many are willing to shoot their own feet in the bargain.
I've heard some nice things about a few places in TX but Cruz, Perry and the Bush dynasty paint a much different picture of the statewide mindset. Doubtless, you likely have some misconceptions about CA based on hearsay and have done some lumping as well.
She looks like such an oblivious goofball in that photo with the fake butt.
ReplyDeleteI personally liked the before photo of her in her expensive red soled heeled legs all cock-eyed going up the stairs with her fake butt to the stage while the men gawk. Every time I see that picture, I hoot!
DeleteAs well as the surgery on her face. Look at that mouth hole! Yuk!
DeleteA real life Betty Boop. Boob boob be dope, or is it doop
DeleteBob Hepburn is a grade A moron!! None of the reason he sited are actually good enough reasons for Palin to run for President. If 60% of her own party does not want her to run for office she doesn't stand a chance in hell of winning, she will be crushed in the general election. She will be able to add enough "excitement" from the sidelines. And by "excitement", I definitely mean lunacy!
ReplyDeletePalin has already taken millions from the stupid flock of sheep that follow her blindly! And as much as I can't stand the fantards over at C4P I really don't want them losing any more of their money to her empty cause. She's like a greedy televangelist who prays upon the feeble minded. They may be stupid, bitter and incredibly annoying people but they still don't deserve to be taken advantage of by a charlatan.
Read it again and what he's saying.
DeleteAnon@9.44a - I've been saying since she resigned as governor back in 2009 that she will ultimately end up as a televangelist. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.
DeleteExactly. She ain't gonna run for shit, because if she does, ALL the truth about why she really resigned as governed will come out.
Delete10:31- and what is that REAL reason? With references please.
Deletethe other fake tv evangelicals have figured out she's even faker than they are so they've joined forces to keep her away from the pots of gold...
Delete@9:58 AM I don't need to read it again, I understood it the first time. I realize Bob doesn't support Palin but I still think he's a moron for suggesting she run for office because the reasons he cited simply were not valid! There will always be a couple of bible thumpers praying for Sarah to run for President every four years regardless of whether or not she throws her hat in the ring!
DeleteThese folks aren't looking for closure, they are crazy people. After reading their Facebook comments, Bob should have come to the realization that they were highly irrational and dismissed them, just like he should have dismissed the idea that Palin should run in 2016!
Palin is a politicalevangelist. Politics is her religion and she's milking those poor bumpkins for every penny they've got!
DeleteSarah won't run. If she did, she would HAVE to debate the men, and "Can I call you Teddy?" and batting her eyelashes and licking her lips would be cute for about five seconds. The TPers haven't figured it out, but he woman has no ideas for America other than how to squeeze more cash out of her PAC. Were she to run, she would have to have a separate PAC subject to FEC regulations..you do recall the Witch getting into trouble for using campaign funds to pay her electric bills, right? Plus, she's need offices in every state, need to register for each primary (which takes lots of cash) and follow the rules. Right. Like any of that is even possible with Mayor "I'll do it until they tell me I can't."
DeleteButt she is good at being a liar and thief
DeleteOOOooo 9:44 I likey the word "fantards" a lot. Let me hop on over to the "other" site and see how that will go over.
Deleterotf
It's this kind of theatrics in politics that keep good candidates from even getting heard. A good man like Bernie Sanders is tossed to the last pages in the media.
ReplyDeleteThat there is more written and discussed (even if for a laugh) about people like her, Abbot or Cruz scares me.
This country needs to get serious, the childish wing nuts certainly are. Maybe it's just me, but it's not so funny anymore.
I'm right there with you. Unfortunately we are part of the problem. We read these articles about Sarah and Jesse here and others write them. It's fun to watch a train wreck only it really isn't.

"Palin, whose ego knows few bounds, could actually be a strong contender if she finally started to listen to her smart, well-paid political advisers, stuck to written texts and avoided those embarrassing off-hand remarks that have tripped her up in the past. "
ReplyDeleteSo, if others write her words and she sticks to a script, never speaking her own off the cuff thoughts, she would be acceptable? As what? A figurehead, a prop? Who knows which master would own her. The AIP? The Koch's? That is as scary as it gets.
Would love to see Sarah defeat Hillary Rotten Clinton
ReplyDeleteShe needs to get in the race
$arah would get her fake ass kicked by Hillary.
DeleteFor laughs and to finally finish her off she needs to get in the race.
LOL! You don't get it. She's a grifter. She will never run for any political office. Never. She is stupid, and lazy. The only thing she has going for her, are the idiots who are dumber than her, and continue to believe that she is going to run.
DeleteAnonymous 10:12 -- your "tell" is that you never use punctuation at the end of your sentences. Please go back to c4p, where they won't know the difference.

You're the only stopping her. Not sending her enough money, get with it!!
Deletebtw HRC wasn't too chicken to assemble a campaign team and jump right in. Your little banty hen, not so much as a bus yet. tick. tock.
Take your face out of your crotch: your brain is starving for oxygen.
DeleteSo basically this guy wants the American presidential race to look even dumber than it already is with the active tea-baggers we already have running for president.
ReplyDeleteIs this so he can make fun of more of them in print?
In a word, yes, angela.
DeleteWhy wouldn't any reasonable person poke fun?
Yes, 10:12, Lou Sarah. You should run.
ReplyDeleteYes, $arah, we want you to run more than the 4pees!
DeletePLEASE answer the call; you were waiting for it!
The time is now.
Yeah then all those you focked over will show up...interview with need and hand Hillary the paperwork...you know since she's a PitBull attorney..smile...

DeleteSarah Palin depends on her facebook ghostwriter.
ReplyDeleteIt would be hysterical to watch Sarah Palin debate anybody.
That's why Sarah Palin won't run for anything.
That's why Sarah Palin won't go on the Sunday talk shows.
SARAH PALIN IS THE BIGGEST FRAUD THAT AMERICA HAS EVER SEEN
Amen to that analogy...
DeleteSARAH PALIN PLEASE RUN FOR PRESIDENT
ReplyDeleteYou are the mother of Bristol and if you had entered Bristol into the 2015 Kentucky Derby your eldest daughter would have won. Your daughter has been trained and ridden by a lot of our best Alaskan studs and now she will be ridden in Kentucky.

I guess this means that $arah' s fans better start ramping up those donations. Almost 20,000 years on ice will be mighty expensive.
Probably best to just freeze the head and attach it to an android body when it's time for her to run for POTUS. ;)

ReplyDeleteHey, Gryph! If she runs, this could be her theme song when she trots out on stage, with permission by them of course. A favorite band of hers. Betty Boop reference bonus points. LOL!

Damn those rioters in Baltimore. Bristol needs her money to buy more of these:

Hey Glenn Rice does that picture Gryphen posted reminds you of Sarah's expression when you poked her when she was in that same position?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're a little hot for Esther the Molester.
DeleteMolester...ah that explains alot...like her stance on rape...its God's will to her...
DeleteBoy, Sarah Palin doesn't get the coverage she once did on your blog (as well as other blogs and the media). It's interesting too seeing the lack of responders.
ReplyDeleteThe numbers and her relevance are dropping drastically - month by month.
You can pretty much stop writing about her, IM, which I'm sure you'd love to do.
You helped with her demise and we all thank you! Especially Alaskans! She's proven to be nothing more than a lying sack of you know what!
Well said,my sentiments exactly!
Deletecats out of the bag on trig. Check. that's a start. we're not done with her til she's Done.
DeleteWait a minute. Look at the shoes Sarah Palin is wearing on stage and look at Bristol's instagram below. What is Sarah going to do now that Bristol lives in Kentucky?

I think he's writing his commentary "tongue in cheek" as he mentions Rob Ford too. Or he just wants her to run so her followers can finally get over her.

ReplyDeleteWell, this Bob guy is a Canadian and he's probably most interested in Canadian politics so he's not paid any attention to crazy Sarah. I hope that a few people have schooled him a bit since his piece appeared yesterday.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
Even Canadian eejits are taking into account Sarah's millions of Facebook fans in India- the psychosis isn't confined to her cult any more.
ReplyDeleteGreat. Run, Sarah, run!
Palin for India 2016!
When did Cruz become a while guy? Isn't his daddy Cuban, i.e., Latino? And Marco is not all white either. But President Obama is, certainly, all Kenyan to these fools. Run, Sarah. Right into a brick wall.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your definition of "all white"?
DeleteI can't wait for the big drunken family brawl....oops, I meant to say the upcoming nuptials. Yee hawwww!
ReplyDeleteI guess bristles was "showing" too much for her and duhkota to show up at the Kentucky Derby. They must have stayed home and fucked and played with guns instead.
DeleteWhat is this like pregnancy #5? is that All you know how to do is spread your legs,barstool? i bet the school hockey team and the mugshot bar have some stories to tell. the *town pump. too bad she doesn't spend as much time getting an education and being a good mom.
DeleteGryphen did you receive your invitation to Bristol's wedding / potluck / Eskimo Bingo Tournament?
ReplyDeleteIf haven't received it you can blame those rioters in Baltimore for the delay.
That photo makes her look like she has sunk so low that she has to wear a slip to get attention.
ReplyDeleteShe was given so much opportunity, more than she deserved, to get her act together and this is what it has come to. Next she will be shilling Pontiacs.
Hey if the Canadians think she is so great, they can have her. Get rid of Steven Harper and make Sarah PM!!!!
ReplyDeleteAfter all she may even be Canadian since the Heaths loved to sneak over the border for some free health care and we have never seen her birth certificate.
The asylum portion of the GOP got the others by the short and curlies. My pops was a Republican when the GOP meant something, I'm so grateful he's not here to see what happened to his party. At least back then they were willing to negotiate and both parties would give and take and live to fight another day.
