My guess is that they want someone with the same far right ideology but more sophisticated and less abrasive than Palin. If that's the case, they still have a big problem. Both Steele and Palin are symptomatic of the problems that the GOP has. They were both chosen specifically as the GOP responses to President Obama and Secretary Clinton, respectively.<br />Both of them are morons who could never begin to fill the shoes of the people they were selected as GOP responses to.<br /><br />The GOP's problems are their embrace of anti-intellectualism, their obstructionism in order to regain power, and their tone-deafness to people's problems.<br /><br />So, no matter who they view as their "future," they will remain running in place until they rid themselves of their inflexible, intolerant ideology that they place above actual people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-16727847766296712492010-07-09T10:30:33.766-08:002010-07-09T10:30:33.766-08:00Ever notice women who use their roles as mothers (...Ever notice women who use their roles as mothers (Sarah Palin, Dr. Laura, Michelle Duggar) to promote themselves are always the kind of women you would never want as your mother?<br /><br />And I do believe I saw one black woman in the video, but it was very brief.

[...] In Palin’s ad -- not one. Now listen carefully to the audio, which twice warns of a “fundamental transformation of America,” twice emphasizes a threat to children and grandchildren from malign unnamed forces.'<br /><br />Link: <a href="http://www.frumforum.com/sarah-palins-america" rel="nofollow">Sarah Palin's America</a><br /><br />And there are a lot of anti-Palin comments, eg <a href="http://www.frumforum.com/sarah-palins-america/comment-page-2#comment-121211" rel="nofollow">this one</a>: 'In my gut, I feel that no matter how trivial she seems, she is nonetheless dangerous if she is not stopped. Hitler was no Einstein but despite that he was able to appeal to the worst elements in human nature at a vulnerable time, when people were feeling the most economically oppressed; and as much as I hate using Hitler analogies for anyone living today, I can’t help it in this instance because involuntarily, he always comes to mind when I see her speeches with no questions or follow up and the looks on those people in the audience. It deeply scares me.'<br /><br />That is why non-Americans like myself read and support blogs like yours. Kudos and bravo to you!!<br /><br />(Because of those anon comments on Progressive Alaska I linked to in another thread I don't really think she will actually dare to run in 2012, much less have a chance at being nominated but you know what they say: Better safe than sorry.:-))aliennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-65328728479549563272010-07-08T21:53:33.578-08:002010-07-08T21:53:33.578-08:00I think, she'll be trashed from one to the oth...I think, she'll be trashed from one to the other should she run as a third party candidate. The Repubs won't put her on the slate, that is for sure. She would embarrass them MORE than Michael Steele. National TV interviews (not just Fox) will be required as well as scheduled debates. She will have a difficult time w/both and likely will do everything she can NOT TO show up for them. Remember that as half-term governor, she stopped doing press conferences because she could not answer the 'hard' questions given her by our 'soft' media in Alaska. Above all else, she is not an oil expert and the pipeline she said that was under construction when she campaigned w/McCain, is very likely not going anywhere. I'm sure there are enough in Alaska now that know the many lies she has spewed that she can be countered on a national basis w/proof sources. (Remember sister Sarah, there are so many proof sources out there - even though you've tried to get rid of many.

All about young parenting. And yes, they will also work up to a wedding. This is part of the planned "story arc." Sort of a Bethenny Gets Married but with a faux conservative/young Republicans spin. Levi will be promoted as young, decent, salt of the earth guy, Bristol will be seen dealing with the "challenges" of young motherhood (with Trig and the nannies kept carefully out of sight.) Willow will be on a lot. (Since it's not like she goes to school.) They'll attempt to boost rankings in the first few episodes by having Sarah cameos, maybe some Piper thrown in there, but the rest of the time will be a "conservative young marrieds who just happen to already have a baby" theme.<br /><br />It's not really Levi's fault that he got sucked back into the Palins' orbit. When you have no way to come up with $1700 a month in child support (he has to earn at least $3000 per month before taxes to pay that) and there aren't any other jobs out there, plus you can't leave the state because you're hoping to get shared custody of your child, options are limited. This way he gets a salary, the Palins get off his back about the child custody hearing and lower his support payments, and everybody can align themselves with serving the Palin/Rove/Murdoch "myth machine" that has been so painstakingly built for years around the mythical exploits of Super Sarah and her family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-22344659645798670272010-07-08T17:19:51.091-08:002010-07-08T17:19:51.091-08:00I don't know if I've ever known Gryphen to...I don't know if I've ever known Gryphen to go this long (11hrs. at this particular moment) without a post in the same day.

That's quite the video gymnastics there. To the credit of this video's creators, she actually looks... presidential. Of course, to no surprise, the content, is not even close. If close to half of the voters voted for a presidential candidate while knowing she's on the ticket, after having clearly demonstrated how out of her league she truly is, if she undergoes some serious coaching, I think she actually has a shot in 2012 under favorable conditions. It's sad, but true. In general, it's more about emotion and what symbolic identity people relate to rather than substance, so all she has to do is appear "passable" and, sadly, in this culture, that's enough to get by (perceptions toward the VP debate is an example, where, although in reality she did no more than recite talking points from index cards from memory, a significant number of people thought she "won", and even more thought she at least "held her own", which is laughable to anyone who was really paying attention). Liberals, buckle up, don't laugh at her prospects. In fact, having the left think she has no shot is exactly what her future campaign strategists will hope for. In relatively hard times, as many perceive these to be, it's even easier to adopt illusion in favor of reality. Palin is going to try and fully capitalize on that. As phony as she is, she is a serious contender.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-35617178611701139732010-07-08T13:21:22.610-08:002010-07-08T13:21:22.610-08:00Giggle that is true.
