A commentary from the Toronto Star gives reasons why Sarah Palin should run for President. Oh this ought to be good.

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.

    "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.

      That'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.

      Palin 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.

    Honestly, I think this is some fairly subtle trolling.
    The 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.

    I 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."

    2. The First Amendment allows them to speak without fear of reprisal by the government. They are not owed or due a platform by anyone.

      Should they be permitted to speak? Of course. Are they entitled to a platform to enable their views to be heard? No.

      Unfortunately 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.

      I 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.

    Bob 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!

    Palin 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.

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!

      These 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!

      Sarah 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."

    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.

    That there is more written and discussed (even if for a laugh) about people like her, Abbot or Cruz scares me.

    So, 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.
