Has EVERYBODY in the Republican party lost their freaking minds?

Sarah Palin's bombshell that she is resigning as Alaska governor actually has boosted her a bit among Republicans, a nationwide USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, though it also has dented her standing among Democrats and independents.

Two-thirds of Republicans want Palin, the party's vice presidential nominee in 2008, to be "a major national political figure" in the future. Three-fourths of Democrats hope she won't be.

Ow, ow, ow! That just makes my damn brain hurt!

Let me get this straight. The woman QUITS because of ETHICS complaints filed against her by her CONSTITUENTS and that makes her MORE Presidential?

I knew the GOP was in bad shape but this is absolutely unbelievable.

Regardless of what she says she was not hounded out of office by Democratic political operatives. She abandoned Alaskans when she joined McCain's campaign which cost her support from her own party, attacked President Obama with racially charged statements and accusations of being a terrorist which cost her support from the Democrats, and lied repeatedly about EVERYTHING which cost her support from most other Alaskans.

Every single thing that happened to Sarah Palin, was caused by SARAH PALIN!

The fact that anybody buys her bullshit about being attacked for being too pretty, or too effective, or too Alaskan simply means that there are a lot of criminally ignorant people in this country.

But hey go ahead. If you want to nominate her and actually have the balls to put her up against Barack Obama, then you have my blessing. I was afraid that the Democrats might actually have to campaign to win in 2012, but if Sarah runs she will do the dirty work for us.

Like I said she is her own worst enemy.

I am beginning to wonder if even the story that I have been working on will be enough to make people turn away from her. I have long believed it is the only thing that will destroy her base, but now.......well now I am not so sure. (By the way, stop referring to my research as the "iceberg". The iceberg was Dennis Zaki's story and he already revealed it. I am now just deleting comments that have the word "iceberg" in them. Just so you know.)

You know the Alaskan bloggers were supposed to meet with one of Palin's most ardent supporters, but she pulled out at the last minute. Too bad I would like to have asked her some very pointed questions. And perhaps share a little "gossip" with her.

  1. Gryphen,

    Please don't give up on what you are working on. Remember what I said in an earlier post. Some people are 'blind'. They will never see. But there are some that only have their eyes closed because they feel that Sarah is in some way like them. These are the people that I feel your work will help to open their eyes.

    I think that what you are working on will be so embarrassing to Palin and her supporters. This is why blogs like See4Pee won't even entertain the thought.

    Hang in there, Gryph.

    Then why don't you tell us about what you have been working on? The old story of put up or shut up comes to mind.

    So many of these blogs including yours and Palin Deception love to tease the shit out of things and never produce. If you arn't going to produce, dont tease it please. Its fustrating.

    You have no one to blame but your self for the dreaded I-word being used on your blog.

    Don't worry - you are doing your job just right. Of course the R's are hanging on - they are desperate. And when did ethics ever mean anything to that part of their party? NEVER. Only when they can throw it up all over someone else, but NEVER them. You can't judge them by the standards set by honest folks - if you stop doing that, then the surprises go away. D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-E.

    Don't worry, the TWIT can't handle national scrutiny for any length of time. She'll buckle, so she won't go for it. She's a Buckling Buttercup. And she'll NEVER appeal to the middle, nor R's who have common sense (and yes, there are many - they are just being quiet and letting the whack jobs out of their cages).

    She's hear to stir up hate and prejudice, we are here to block her. It's what we do. We don't give up - EVER.

  7. Gryphen, I share your frustration, but there are two aces that are still held against her.
    #1 Shannyn apparently has direct access to KO. Shannyn knows all. I personally would buy her an airline ticket to New York if she could wangle a face to face meeting with him to tell all.

    #2 Andrew Sullivan published a long list of lies yesterday. One was not among them i.e. #1 grandson. I'm starting to think he saved it for last in order not to look like a cad. I think the MSM has been afraid of this issue all along, but with all the other lies one can say, "Exactly what would the woman not lie about?"

    I agree, it is scary, very scary.
    That is why we must remain vigilant and vocal.
    Never forget that nearly 60 million Americans voted for McCain & Sarah Palin to be our president & vice president. Only 70 million voted for Obama.

    When Bush won, not once, but twice I couldn't believe it. Who are these people? They are in a very small minority in my Northeast professional world. I don't know them, I don't understand them. On television and radio they come across as buffons and hate mongerers.

    But I must admit, they excist and there seem to be a lot of them.

    For example today, Sarah is twittering about the massive deficits that are being created as our government tries to stimulate the economy that they have inherited. But there is no mention of the record deficits of Bush and his war and bumbling of the economy for eight years that got us into this depression.

    It is bizarre stuff, but we must remain vigilant and continue to expose their ignorance and hypocracy.

    When did Dennis reveal his story?

    This is what it says on his blog, so I am a bit confused:

    "

    Rumor Central: Big story still heading towards the S.S. Palin
    A deal-breaker is heading toward the Palins. Can it be stopped? I don't think so. Will it topple the house of cards, all signs say yes. Stay tuned..."

    Last week he wrote if it looks like a duck, acts like a duck, it is a duck.

    So what is Dennis's iceberg? You said he revealed it. At least tell us what you mean.

    No worries- Bush was not "elected". Remember, he was appointed by the Supreme Court after his brother blocked the recount in Florida, and even after hundreds of thousands of ballots were determined to have been mistakenly thrown out in Florida.

    Then there was the election fraud by Republicans in Ohio. When that investigation got hot and heavy, a republican IT operative who had the goods on them but did NOT want to testify was subpoenaed. His lawyer begged for protection from the DoJ (you know what that got him). Bush henchman said no.

    He testified one day but had yet to turn over the technical data and computers. Guess whose plan crashed for no good reason?

    Yes, there are plenty of crazy LIVs out there -- but they didn't elect the drunk.

    And they won't elect this clown, either.

  21. The iceberg is the IRS investigation.

    There were also three new ethics investigations mentioned. The IRS investigation can still be classified as a rumor since the IRS rarely goes on record concerning a working investigation, but Dennis is absolutely never wrong.

    Like Shannyn said on her show last Saturday, she has NEVER received a tip from Dennis that did not prove to be accurate. Now what kind of IRS investigation is still open to speculation, we don't have all of the details yet.

    I am surprised that you all missed it when I talked about it on this site on June 25.

    Here's another example of Sarah's eloquent speaking style: Time Magazine's Jay Newton-
    Small did an interview with Sarah and asked her how her whining about the press is different from the criticism Sarah leveled at Hillary for whining about the press.

    "That's a whole different situtation. But that's why when I talk about political potshots that I take or my family takes, we can handle that."

    The poll was with 1000 people of equal numbers of republicans, democrats and independents. 7 in 10 republicans said they would vote for Palin but even with the Dems and the Indys for Palin it would mean a landslide for Obama. Sara is the only republican making any noise at the present time. Huck and Romney are almost silent right now so the dumb Repugs don’t even know who’s all in the race. Mike Steel has also said that Palin was off the table for 2012. My guess is that when Sanford throws his hat into the ring the republicans will all jump on his bandwagon. The bigger the nitwit the more the repugs love ‘em.

  26. Gryphen: It was interesting how there was a specific denial from the FBI that they were investigating the Palins. However, speculation has always been that it's the IRS that may be investigating. You're right of course, the IRS will say nothing. But if there is a potential for tax fraud, and it's being investigated, that would make far more sense than the FBI at this point.
    Just my opinion but I never leaned towards FBI.

    I'm with Anonymous at 11:23 am - Regardless of the votes - we still ended up with Bush for a 2nd term - I just cannot believe that there are so many stupid people out there who believe that Sarah is or has the answer to anything!

    I hate to be petty but it also really gripes my butt that she has made out like a bandit financially.

    While it's great that she's no longer going to be our governor - it is frightening that "Her Ignorance" could even be considered as a leader for our country and the only way to see that possibility ended is to get all the dirt out there & carried into MSM.

  31. Here is another lie...linked to on Huff Po...

    http://theplumline.whorunsgov.com/republican-party/key-reason-palin-gave-for-quitting-appears-to-be-false/

    Palin claims these ethicc charges are costing the state almost 2 million dollars. She said specifically that this money is being drained from the budget of teachers, roads, emergency workers, etc, WHEN IT IS NOT. The legal work is being done by regular staff state paid lawyers and employees, who would have gotten paid anyway. These ethics charges just take them away from doing other work (whatver that is) according to David Murrow, hjer new spokesperson. The $2 million is what they estimate according to the work done by these employees who are already on the state payroll, and maybe are finally earning their paychecks.

    The lies continue

    Gryphen, we can never be smug and you must keep plugging away.

    While Obama and the Democrats are popular now, Americans are fickle and easily deceived. We had Ronald Reagan - probably already in the throes of Alzheimers - leading us for 8 years and then, of course, George W.

    A horrible natural disaster, another terrorist attack, the economy continuing to tank, people will look around for anyone to blame and for saviors. People become irrational or delusional (I mean how did Hitler come to power).

    Sarah Palin is a mental degenerate and we must make sure she never ever gets anywhere near a position of influence again.

  44. Gryphen, I think Babygate will surely sink Palin's political future to the point she won't be electable to any office and there won't be any candidates wanting her campaigning for them.

    I expect her lies will finally get her...especially, the heartfelt one about considering abortion. People who contributed to her or to causes based on her moving testimony will feel duped.

    If the truth comes out in a way that Palin has to admit to it, there will only be a handful of the most fanatical supporters left.

    This poll simply reflects what we've known and talked about since the election. The Republican party has shrunk down to the size of Van Flea's penis....(am I allowed to use that word here?)

    The woman is a narcissistic evangelical wack job. There are people in both parties including the Indies that are terrific this moron could get near the White House.

    This couple has clearly "fallen up" through strategic alignments and the use of casual, unchecked lies. Congratulations for turning your attention to her and exposing her strategic devices.

    The more trouble this woman gets herself into with her and her husband's casual lies, the more her fans will support her. There's no informing them that ethics problems would not be dogging her if she didn't flirt with the parameters of legality and ethical rules.

    She has them convinced that she is a victim. This is her game. She even got Letterman to buckle with faux-outrage and that is just the beginning of her campaign to chew through the country on a sympathy "I'm good, they're mean" campaign.

    She is a nasty, mean-spirited politician with no fresh ideas, only daggers for others.

    It's worrisome. Maddow said it tonight: her crusading against accountability is dangerous. There is no content to the platform other than "we are working people - she is one of us."

    I have had the same thoughts many times over the months since January. I didn't say it as well as you, but I made a post not too long ago asking the same question. I think I said frigging minds instead of freaking,but essentially the same idea.

    I guess the Repubs had no better alternative than to support a known liar. I find it just a tad sad that their party has been reduced to a do nothing, no saying, hate spewing bunch.

    What reason did the Palin supporter(RAM) give, if any? Fear? Afraid you guys wouldn't play nice? JZ was busy that day and couldn't make the flight with her? Why she no show?

    As for Palin supporters, I think Sarah could commit murder in broad daylight in front of a street full of people and her supporters would say the sun got in her eyes, she was defending her family, she tripped, she shot 'em for the good of the country; anything rather than face the truth. And the truth is they hate Obama, plain and simple.

    It was reported that she was going to appear at the Reagan Musuem, then she wasn't, then was, and now they don't know. Same old Sarah, let's keep 'em guessing and make 'em beg for every little crumb I deem to throw out.

  64. There may be a huge number of idiots in this country that're buying this BS, but Sarah's still doomed.

    The poll said 19% would absolutely vote for her, and 41% would absolutely NOT vote for her. That leaves 40% sorta in the middle. Palin would then need 31% of this group to win the election. Somehow this doesn't seem like good news for her.

    The poll also said that she'd likely get 43% of the total vote. So in other words, 57-43 for Obama. In terms of presidential elections this is BAD. No candidate in a two-way race has ever done worse than 39%; a 57% Obama win would make 2012 the 9th largest landslide ever, out of 57 elections.

  65. Gryphen, you are right, some people will forgive Sarah any transgression because they are ideologically frozen. It is the same with climate change. The farmers in California are furious that they have not water and rather than understand that they are in for permanent drought and lowered snowpack in the Sierras, they actually blame the government! Likewise, some people blame the wildfires in Australia on arson and don't understand that permanent drought has turned the trees in tinder.

    People are stupid!

    I was not asked. I think they did their poll somwhere down in the deep south, at amegga church that has a statue of St. Sarah the Quitter, on their alter, holding the sword they think she fell on.

    Not all GoP are in love with her. In fact, Steel said yesterday that she needs to forget about 12 and move on.

    Her supporters have embraced her as a victim. A victim of what, I'm not sure. She represents their own frustrations. Frustration at what, I'm not sure.

    We should all accept the fact that for her die hard fans, no amount of evidence that ethics questions only follow those who warrant them will deter them. In fact: the more evidence that is unearthed against this woman, the more resolved they will be to support her.

    Blogs such as these will educate the open-minded and create a record of her shenanigans, but will not turn her devoted fans around. In fact, I could see her fans totally embracing Trig as Bristol's baby, if that were to be the case, and congratulating Sarah's ultimate parental sacrifice in claiming the baby as her own to protect her then-minor child.

    Count on it.

    We waste our time in trying to educate her fans. It's all interpreted as some sort of liberal (whatever that is) witch-hunt.

    Sarah is a master of manipulation. She has repackaged her own limitations as the essence of American integrity.

  69. Verbose, I see it a little different. Palin starts out running for pres and then gets dropped out. She then gets chosen as a VP pick by the eventual R candidate and she brings a big % of the people along with her to that ticket. The R's take it.

    Just be confident enough in your fellow Americans that they are stupid enough to let that happen. And after all Verbose, isn't the object to destroy the other party as opposed to saving your country. It's a matter of priorities!
