One more time: Sarah Palin is a big reason why B. Hussein Obama is the President. Many suburban, middle class, moderately liberal democrats have told me that they were uneasy with Obama (too radical, hateful church membership, anti-Israel, etc.) and were planning to vote for McCain until he stupidly picked her as his running mate. There are several reasons why the pick of Palin turned them off: 1) They saw her as unqualified–even more so than Obama or Biden–to be president as anyone they had ever seen on a major party ticket; 2) They thought she lacked intelligence and understanding of serious national and international issues; and 3) They thought she was a fanatic right-winger that instinctively turned them off in a way that Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Fred Thompson, Tom Ridge, Tim Pawlenty, or even the very conservative Eric Cantor, would not have.
I still voted for McCain because even if Palin became President, a dunce surrounded by Republican advisors is likely better than an pro-Muslim anti-Semite surrounded by radicals and self-hating Jews.
But I don’t get it when I hear smart conservative men and women talking about how much they like Sarah Palin. Really, what is there to like?

Debbie, all I can say is for a 21 year old person to achieve what you did in running for elective office is absolutely AMAZING. Especially with how close it was. I say this with the utmost respect. Most people (at least todays generation) isn’t taken too serious at that young of an age.
If you ever consider running for elective office. Please come to great state of Tennessee. Down here you’re well known and very well respected. As TN is a very “Conservative” state. I would vote for you in any position without even having to hear your stance on the issues. I’m a true conservative too. And fed up with these supposed fake consevatives in and out of office.
Once I retire (in six yrs) I plan on running for District 4 USA, Congress in my area. I believe I can do some good if elected. Not sure if I would win due to heavy competition. But, willing to give it a sincere try.
Debbie, currently you have a great platform in which you reach out to millions on a worldwide basis. You do a wonderful job in informing the people on the real truth. In which there is NO SPIN when you present things. Keep up the awesome work and thank you from many of us. For doing the “Right Thing.” May you and your loved ones always be Bless by G-D. Respectfully, TennScholar.

Tenn Scholar on June 9, 2009 at 11:55 am

I don’t know what to say in defense of Palins. There is no courage there, family seems dysfunctional in some ways, people going every which way. Just not good example for America.

rickster on June 9, 2009 at 12:07 pm

I know the conservative goddess likes to use random pictures to compare political idiots.
I’m gonna do the same here with Sarah Palin. Becuase I have a habit using Sailor Moon references, I just have to say that Palin is the Sailor Iron Mouse of the political world.
You’d have to watch the anime to get what I’m saying here.

I swear, there’s almost no difference between the two.

Squirrel3D on June 9, 2009 at 12:30 pm

It’s a shame you have to put up with emails like this. Free speech should be allowed on both sides of the ailes. I follow you because you have information I could not get elsewhere. I don’t think Palin could win an election against Obama. We need a true conservative voice that can go against this man who is destroying our way of life.

If conservatism in America is going to be about complete ignorance and death threats, then we’re better off without it. If Palin’s defenders were Trojan horses for the Left, they couldn’t be doing a better job of keeping the conservative movement divided by making sure it doesn’t defend traditional values and a strong America. Make no mistake: if Sarah Palin gets the GOP nod in 2012, President Obama will be looking for another four years in the White House and conservatives will have to take the blame for making a self-fulfilling prophecy come true.

NormanF on June 9, 2009 at 1:46 pm

There’s a difference between thoughtful disagreement and making criminal threats against someone’s life. Palin’s defenders can’t defend her abandonment of conservatism so they’ve decided to terrorize her critics into silence. They’re not helping themselves or doing any favors for the candidate to whom they’re devoted by smearing others and its changed Debbie’s mind about having a woman President. There may be one she’ll like someday but it won’t be Palin and her legion of crazed followers.

NormanF on June 9, 2009 at 2:02 pm

A great many bad things happened to our country in the sixties, but none worse than the massive inflicting of body blows on the once graceful, even majestic, English language. Almost to a person, the leaders of the New Left reveled in public displays of spoken obscenity and vulgarity. For the first time in our history, people who could deliver a speech — or, more accurately, a harangue — filled with curses and execrations became heroes to a large segment of Americans. The ability to swear, to damn, and to anathematize became a badge of honor. In just a few short years, the public square became filled with coarseness and crudity, and it has stayed filled ever since.
Even worse, the plague has spread. Presumably respectable people, who once would not have dreamed of tolerating expletives in their homes, now think nothing of hearing them at their dinner tables. On TV, swear words, cuss words, and four-letter words have become a staple. Vileness has settled over our culture like a never-lifting smog.
There was a time, Ms. Schlussel, when GAHanson would have had his mouth washed out with soap, and his rear-end whipped to boot, long before he grew old enough to write despicable letters or any other kind.
This is a subject to which conservatives pay very little attention. They are making a grievous mistake: If we really wish to see the day when our nation is restored to its former greatness, we must restore our language to its former status — that of a language treated by all, educated and uneducated, with dignity and respect. After all, ours is no ordinary language. Ours is the language of the King James Bible and the Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence and the Gettysburgh Address and Lincoln’s Second Inaugural and the wartime speeches of Winston Churchill — and virtually all the other documents that have instilled the Western world with a love of liberty and human dignity. If we are to remain a people worthy of our freedom, we must regain our love and respect for the English language — not in its vilest and basest modes, but in its most glorious and sublime modes.
How sad that GAHanson, were he to read this post, would not, I am confident, have the vaguest notion of what I am talking about.

altalena on June 9, 2009 at 3:20 pm

It is truly a sad, sad, day in America when Debbie gets Death wishes and obscene, threatening, emails from those who call themselves “conservatives” How absolutely revolting!! I could not tell you how many times that I have sought the unvarnished Truth on DebbieSchlussel.com. How could a supposedly smart and sensible person, such as palin, not denounce these reprehensible bottom feeders and the haters who are supporting her? In my humble opinion the republican majority squandered their mandate for eight years under bush, and people, rightfully so, were fed up. Then mccain threw in palin, an unknown, into the mix and viola’, ruined the recipe. What does it really say about “family values” when you deliver a newborn and head back to work and a presidential campaign, like nothing much really just happened. Palin, unfortunately, has more baggage than American Airlines. Puhlease. How can the pathetic, impotent, wishy-washy, republicans seriously hoist up this poser? Debbie remains one of the few authentic, smart and legitimate Conservative pundits and commentators left in our Country. She should be getting accolades! Not Death threats from these losers. I try to avoid swearing because I think that it is intellectually lazy. These palin henchmen/women resort to insults and deathreats because they are morally vacant and cerebral lightweights. (Like little kids resorting to taunting and bullying.) Sheesh, if this is the “new face” of the republican party, Beam Me Up, Scotty !! Debbie stands head and shoulders above the rest. Debbie does not march in lock step with anyone. She touches millions of lives with her courage in the face of opposition and her uncanny and unique analysis of “the big picture” So there.

Roads Skolar on June 9, 2009 at 3:53 pm

Mr. Maloney,
I find you’ comments about Debbie deplorable. I’m a cancer survivor and the three scariest words a person can receive from their doctor are “you have cancer.”
If Sarah Palin were a conservative, she would have declined Senator McCain’s offer to be his running mate because Senator McCain is not a conservative. It spoke volumes about her lack of knowledge regarding national politics. All she had to do was look at McCain-Feingold and McCain’s position on immigration to know he wasn’t a conservative.
Also, you can’t have it both ways Mr. Maloney. Ms. Palin complained about the press and the treatment her family received during the election and then invites the media into her life after the election.
Ms. Palin will probably run in 2012 but I guarantee you the press will tear her apart again and she brought it upon herself at the convention in her speech when she looked into the camera and said, “I’m not going to Washington to please the press.” That statement was like throwing gas on a bon fire.
Mr. Maloney, I hope you never hear the words, “you have cancer.”

dances with trout on June 9, 2009 at 3:56 pm

I hope you didn’t get your info about Palin’s reaction to Bob Lester from that YouTube clip that was obviously developed as an anti-Palin clip. If it is, then that’s no proof for me. They could have put together her laughter from something else and added it here. If you somehow got hold of an actual archive from their radio show, you should say so.
You know what’s really funny? I was reading up on all the initial comments made by so many against Palin that were mostly about her lack of experience to be a step from the presidency. Yet, no one seemd to care that the other guy running for President has less experience than did Dan Quale or Palin. We both know why she was chosen. She’s a republican hottie and that’s it. But at least she was a mayor and was Governor for a short period of time, more then we can say for the great “community organiser”.
And the idiots who call you names are just that. Why give them any ink? It makes little sense.

adorabl on June 9, 2009 at 4:40 pm

Debbie pointed out her ignorance and hypocrisy and while politics ain’t beanbag – she’s used to it – directing death threats and insulting personal comments at someone you’d like to support your candidate isn’t going to win them over. Its guaranteed to have the opposite effect. Her view of Palin’s politics is understandable given the absence of ethical rectitude from her supporters. If they believed in conservatism, they would never send such e-mails to a fellow conservative. And I want to make it clear they are reprehensible and have no place in American political discourse. There going to be more qualified candidates by the time 2012 rolls around who do deserve to have conservative backing.

NormanF on June 9, 2009 at 4:41 pm

McCain lost because of McCain, not Palin. McCain was seen as being not much different than Obama, so why not vote the first black man as President.Those republicans or conservative democrats who voted for Obama will not be thrilled come next year when the economy really takes a dump.

adorabl on June 9, 2009 at 4:44 pm

Adorabi, Palin was asked to cite one reason why she’s against Roe V Wade. Her only response was about personal privacy, which is why she didn’t understand its argument for abortion. There’s also lots more which became apparent during the election campaign that showed her to be out of her depth. A conservative wouldn’t have any problem responding to a hostile media. The fact is she is the opposite of everything in which conservatives believe. And if they’re not willing to stand up for their principles, no one else is going to go bat for them. We need someone who believes in conservatism in the White House not someone who just talks a good game and then does something else while in office.

NormanF on June 9, 2009 at 4:49 pm

adorabi,
McCain ran an awful campaign and Obama benefitted from the historical nature of his candidacy, the bad economy and the overall anti-Bush feeling in the country. Having said all that, the election was still close down the stretch. Another reason–in addition to the ones I mentioned above–McCain hurt himself by picking Palin is that it cast doubt about his judgment for those Democrats who were leaning his way. I don’t hate Palin and I think the media went after her in a way that was unfair in comparison to their treatment of others. I’ll take an empty-headed patriot over a radical, American-hater any day. I just don’t think Palin has any business being a national candidate. Her performance during and after the campaign are all the evidence I need to make this case.

4infidels on June 9, 2009 at 6:03 pm

I do hope that Debbie hands the death threat e-mails over to law enforcement. It is one thing to disagree with someone, and quite another to threaten someone with bodily harm or death. I for one do not want these people freely walking the streets. If nothing else, such people need to be shown that such behavior has real consequences, and is not a joke.

Worry01 on June 9, 2009 at 10:05 pm

I have grown tired of Sarah Palin and her family. It would be best for them just to stay in Alaska and stop harassing us with their media appearances. Sarah, your time has come and gone, and it time to move on to other things, like trying to prevent the rest of your family from going down the tubes.

Worry01 on June 9, 2009 at 10:10 pm

Debbie, what would have been the correct reaction from the Palins regarding Bristol and her pregnancy?
[P: PERHAPS YOU MISSED THE TOPIC OF THIS POST, WHICH IS THAT SARAH PALIN OFFICIALS AND SUPPORTERS SENT ME DEATH WISHES, CANCER WISHES, AND VILE, DISGUSTING, SEXIST HATE MAIL ALL OF THE TIME IN AN EFFORT TO SILENCE ME. BUT THEN YOU WOULDN’T KNOW THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT A REGULAR READER OR COMMENTER ON THIS SITE, BUT SOMEONE WHO CAME HERE JUST TO RAISE A RED HERRING TO DISTRACT US FROM THESE HORRIBLE E-MAILS.
I HAVE ADDRESSED YOUR SILLY, REMARKABLY OBTUSE QUESTION ON THIS SITE MANY TIMES, WHICH YOU’D KNOW IF YOU WEREN’T HERE SOLELY TO DEFEND THE PALINS. THIS BABY MAMA SHOULD SHUT THE HECK UP, NOT DO MEDIA INTERVIEWS, CONSTANTLY SENDING OUT PRESS RELEASES, AND STAY HOME TO RAISE HER KID, INSTEAD OF GALAVANTING AROUND THE COUNTRY WITH HER FATHER CALLING THE BABY A MISTAKE, KEEPING HIM FROM HIS FATHER AND HIS FATHER’S FAMILY, DOING PHOTOSPREADS AND COVERS FOR PEOPLE MAGAZINE GLORIFYING SINGLE MOTHERHOOD, AND HAVING HER FATHER RAISE THE KID WHILE SHE GOES OUT TANNING.
AGAIN, SARAH PALIN SUPPORTERS AND OFFICIALS WISHED ME CANCER AND DEATH AND SENT ME VILE, DISGUSTING, AND OFTEN ANTI-SEMITIC E-MAILS. SORRY THAT DOESN’T OFFEND YOU AS MUCH AS QUESTIONING A VAPID FAMILY AND ITS PROMOTION OF LIBERAL VALUES AND THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA, WHICH THEY EXEMPLIFY. DS]

Penelope 27 on June 9, 2009 at 10:45 pm

Debbie, I wrote this to you in a e-mail a long time ago. Just as Hashem [DS: ONE OF THE HEBREW NAMES FOR G-D] changed Bilaam’s cures against the Jewish people into a blessing, so too may Hashem cause all those who curse you, to be changed into multiple blessings for you. May the Ribono Shel Olam [DS: ANOTHER HEBREW NAME FOR G-D] always protect you. BTW why does Rush seem defend Palin, just curious?
[OIJ: CAN’T ANSWER FOR HIM, BUT HE ALSO CONSTANTLY DEFENDS THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES AND DUBAI (AND THE DEFUNCT PORTS DEAL). AND I THINK THE ANSWER LIES IN WHAT HE TOLD ME ABOUT WHY HE DEFENDED THOSE. WHEN I POINTED OUT TO HIM THAT THESE COUNTRIES ARE EXTREMIST, ANTI-ISRAEL, ANTI-SEMITIC, AND HELPED THE 9/11 HIJACKERS, ETC., HE INDICATED HE KNOWS I’M RIGHT, BUT HE JUST WANTS TO GET ON THE LIBERALS NERVES BY DEFENDING THESE COUNTRIES (WHICH TO ME IS A RIDICULOUS REASON TO DO ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY IF IT CONFLICTS WITH POINTING OUT WHAT HORRIBLE COUNTRIES THESE ARE). I THINK THE SAME IS AT PLAY HERE. PLUS, IT’S “THE CONSERVATIVE THING TO DO” TO UNWAVERINGLY SUPPORT HER. HE MUST KNOW SHE’S A COMPLETE DUMMY AND DOESN’T EXEMPLIFY ANY OF THE VALUES HE’S ENDORSED, LIKE BEING AGAINST SINGLE MOTHERHOOD, WOMEN WORKING, MR. MOMS, ETC. REMEMBER HE’S AN ENTERTAINER AND A LOT OF WHAT HE DOES IS SHTICK. DS]

OneIrishJew on June 10, 2009 at 12:34 am

Mr. Maloney and Mr. Hanson are both, vile and disgusting. They demonstrate they have no class whatsoever. Any coward can launch personal threats and vile insults via e-mail. But it’s another thing to claim to be “conservative” and make those comments in the context of support for a potential 2012 presidential nominee. They must be unstable.

Just say no to ICE on June 10, 2009 at 1:46 am

As a diehard democrat, I agree with Debbie.
Everything she said is right on the money.
But you, Squirrel3D, I am offended!
How can you compare Sarah Palin to the wonderful comical character Sailor Iron Mouse?
Sailor Iron Mouse was part of Shadow Galactica, the greatest organization in Sailor Moon!
If anything, Sarah is more like Sailor Aluminum Seiren!
But I can say one good thing! At least you didn’t compare Sarah to Sailor Lead Crow!
Even though Bristol looks like her. 🙁

SeaStar on June 10, 2009 at 11:16 am

Debbie,
I owe you an apology. Yes, I am easily distracted, no, I am not in the same thought process as the people who send you hate mail. I think you are a beautiful and intelligent girl. I guess the purpose of my question was misplaced. Your arguments against Palin on her merits alone have convinced me to take a second look at her (I was even signed up on ìTeam Sarahî when it first started and now I have no interest in that). Being a nobody in this world, I forget that people like you (people publicly fighting the good fight) have feelings also. When I read those emails, my mind processes them as cowards, a ìsucker punchî because they cannot argue their position with an intelligent argument. I have and will continue to pray for your safety and your good health.

Penelope 27 on June 11, 2009 at 12:06 am

Palin would not have been my first pick, but whomever thought Obama/Biden was the lesser of two evils is full of sh*t and looking to justify their being swept away by the Messiah.
What I do not understand though is your hatred for her defending her daughter. I have 3 daughters, I try to raise them right but should they have sex and get pregnant I’m not going to disown them. What was she to do? Go on National TV and call her kid a slut? or force her to have an abortion?. The left would of loved that. She stood by her family, that is what Conservative parents do as compared to Libs who are willing to throw their grandmother under the racist bus.
Tell us Debbie, What would you have gone on National Tv and said? Would you have acted like Obama and said your daughter is being “Punished with a baby”? or would you have defended your family?
[MF: JUST AS I REMINDED PENELOPE 27, YOU APPARENTLY MISSED THE POINT OF THIS POST, WHICH IS SARAH PALIN SUPPORTERS AND STAFFERS SENDING ME DEATH AND CANCER WISHES AND E-MAILS ABOUT USING VIBRATORS, NONE OF WHICH SEEMS TO BOTHER YOU. THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES.
AS YOU WELL KNOW, I’VE ANSWERED–REPEATEDLY–THESE RIDICULOUS QUESTIONS IN MY MANY POSTS ON THE PALIN FAMILY’S SHAMELESS PROMOTION OF THEIR ABHORRENT LIBERAL FAMILY VALUES. WHICH PART OF THE DEATH AND CANCER WISHES OR THE VIBRATOR COMMENTS DID YOU MISS HERE . . . IN YOUR RUSH TO DEFEND THE PALINS FOR GLAMORIZING SINGLE MOTHERHOOD AND TEEN SINGLE PARENTS IN EXCHANGE FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM PEOPLE AND THE CANDIES FOUNDATION? ON EIGHT MILE IN DETROIT, THERE IS ANOTHER NAME FOR PEOPLE WHO DO THINGS LIKE THAT FOR MONEY: PROSTITUTE.
YOU APPARENTLY MISSED MY LONG RESPONSE TO PENELOPE 27. READ IT. IT ANSWERS THESE SILLY QUESTIONS. WHEN YOUR DAUGHTER SLEEPS AROUND, GETS PREGNANT, DOESN’T MARRY THE FATHER BECAUSE HE’S NOW “BENEATH HER,” AND KEEPS YOUR GRANDCHILD AWAY FROM HIS FATHER AND THE FATHER’S FAMILY, ARE YOU GOING TO SEND OUT A GAZILLION PRESS RELEASES ABOUT IT, HAVE HER DO INTERVIEWS ON FOX NEWS, APPLAUD HER FOR CALLING HER BABY A “MISTAKE,” HAVE YOUR HUSBAND (WHO ALSO CALLS THE BABY A “MISTAKE” ON NATIONAL TV) QUIT HIS JOB AND RAISE THE KID SO SHE CAN GO TANNING, AND PARADE HER AND HER SINGLE MOTHERHOOD AS SOME SORT OF GLAMOROUS ACHIEVEMENT ON THE COVER AND IN AN EIGHT PAGE SPREAD IN PEOPLE?
ANYONE WHO DOESN’T HAVE HATRED FOR AND OUTRAGE OVER THIS BEHAVIOR, IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE, BUT A BLIND FOOL.
AND ANOTHER THING. CORRECTION TO WHAT YOU WROTE: SARAH PALIN DID NOT “STAND BY HER FAMILY.” SHE ABANDONED THEM FOR A POLITICAL CAREER AND HER BLIND AMBITIONS (AND WHORED THEM OUT–INCLUDING THE BABY MAMA–ON NATIONAL TV), WHICH IS WHY SHE WASN’T AROUND WHEN HER DAUGHTER GOT PREGNANT. SORRY, BUT THE FACTS STILL STAND: WOMEN WHO WORK ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE KIDS WHO HAVE TEEN SEX AND HAVE KIDS OUT OF WEDLOCK. SHOCKER.
OH, AND BY THE WAY, SINCE YOU ASKED WHAT I’D SAY ON NATIONAL TV, YOU SHOWED THAT YOU JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND. I WOULDN’T BE TALKING ABOUT IT, NOR WOULD I PUT HER REPEATEDLY ON NATIONAL TV TO TALK ABOUT IT. THAT’S WHAT A DESPERATE, STUPID CANDIDATE, WHO CARES ONLY ABOUT HERSELF AND IS AN ATTENTION WHORE, DOES. ANYONE WITH CLASS AND DECENCY SIMPLY WOULDN’T BE TALKING ABOUT THEIR DAUGHTERS ON NATIONAL TV, PRESS RELEASING THEM TO DEATH, AND NEGOTIATING WITH PEOPLE TO PROMOTE HER IMPROPER BEHAVIOR THE WAY SARAH PALIN HAS TO ADVANCE HER OWN AMBITIONS.
THE ONLY PEOPLE BEING “PUNISHED WITH A BABY” HERE ARE THE REST OF AMERICA, WHO CONSTANTLY HAVE THIS ILLEGITIMATE KID WAVED IN OUR FACE AS IF IT’S SOME SORT OF GREAT ACHIEVEMENT . . . AND THE KID ITSELF, WHO WILL BE ONE MESSED UP BASTARD.
SO, AGAIN, THANKS FOR EXPRESSING YOUR DISMAY AT THE WISHES OF CANCER AND DEATH AND COMMENTS ABOUT VIBRATORS THE PALINITES SENT ME. OH, WAIT, YOU DIDN’T MENTION THAT AND DIDN’T CARE A WHIT. TELLS US A LOT ABOUT YOU. DS]

mfee01 on June 11, 2009 at 7:04 am

Debbie, You are consistent in your stance. I was excited about Palin mostly because she was interesting and conservative compared to McCain. And I DEFINITELY did not want a Muslim president. Regardless, your criticisms of her were valid.
[P: AND THEY ARE EVEN MORE VALID NOW. DS]

PDMac60 on June 11, 2009 at 9:57 am

Thank God there are conservatives like you out there that really are able to see how much of a phony Sarah Palin really is. She actually expected us to believe her when she famously (and rather annoyingly and condescendingly for that matter), “we said thanks but no thanks” to the bridge to nowhere. In addition, her remarks that certain parts of America are more “pro-American” than other parts were insulting as well. Then again, given John McCain’s pro-amnesty approach to illegal immigration, one can in the long run be happy that he lost…Romney 2012!

williamsobieski86 on June 11, 2009 at 11:37 am

mfee01,
I voted for McCain-Palin as the lesser of two evils. But what is it about Palin that inspires such loyalty, such a fanatical following? Is it her distinguished record, her briliant insights on foreign policy, her ability to convincingly articulate the conservative case? No, that can’t be it!
My guess is that it is more symbolic: she appeals to many Americans who rightly feel that the media, popular culture and most politicians disrespect their values and have contempt for their religious beliefs and patriotism. They can identify with a woman who is proudly conservative, religious, patriotic and viciously disparaged and condescendingly mocked. For once, her fans see someone on the cusp of national power who is on their side.
The problem with Palin is that as a living, breathing person, she is an empty pantsuit. Her lack of seriousness on national security, foreign policy and economic issues hurts, not helps, advance a conservative agenda. Her unwillingness or inability to prepare for interviews, to take advice from those who know more, to be a team player and help other conservatives further damages, her rude and inappropriate treatment of others, all speak poorly of her character.
We face a mess in this country with a President who is destroying our economy, disparaging our history, weakening our national security, eroding our freedoms and destroying our national spirit. Being passionately anti-abortion, a church goer from the heartland and a hunter isn’t enough. We need serious leaders to overcome the damage that Obama is doing to this country.
That doesn’t excuse the treatment of Palin by the media, late-night hosts and liberal elites. I am angered by Letterman’s act.
Palin should defend her daughter against criticism. That is admirable. But sending her daughter out on a media tour, publicly fighting with her grandson’s father and his family, blaming everyone but herself for her troubles on the campaign trail doesn’t cut it, unless she is auditioning for a reality show.

4infidels on June 11, 2009 at 6:49 pm

You said: “But I don’t get it when I hear smart conservative men and women talking about how much they like Sarah Palin.” Isn’t
“smart conservative” an oxymoron? It comes as absolutely no surprise that most staunch conservatives thought Sarah was the best thing since sliced bread. I heard many “smart conservative men” also tell me how “hot” she is, so we at least I know they were using the same heads that got these smart conservative men through college.

Not A Ditto-Head on June 12, 2009 at 12:21 am

The sentiments and language of those emails were completely inappropriate & certainly counter productive for their authors’ cause.
Who do you favor in 2012?

adagioforstrings on June 12, 2009 at 4:39 pm

*LOL* I would expect such threats and ill wishes from nitwits that buy into any crap sold to the masses. Brain-washing for these dimwits would be a favor.
Voting for a woman based on looks will be a bane for many men with overactive hormones, though most in that category would still believe a woman is not fit to lead, as such their internal strife would probably lead to ulcers.
From hearing what Palin has said and reading other quotes, I get the impression she would use a line from an old movie if she were unfortunate enough to interact with many other World Leaders, that being: “I’m too smart for the likes of you, sailor.” and actually believe it. *LOL* Would you expect any less from a narcissistic ex-beauty pagent contestant?

Wolfy on December 14, 2009 at 5:11 pm

Anyone contemplating voting for Sarah Palin in 2012 should read carefully the new piece in Vanity Fair. It shows her, without question, to be possessed of ignorance (she literally had no idea who Margaret Thatcher was at the start of the campaign), narcissism, and a violent temper. Who but the most hapless of sycophants would work for someone like that?

A Palin administration would be a national laughingstock. Perish the thought.
