Not to say that she wouldn’t lose big, but if the left and the Democrats really think that she is a looming disaster for their opponents, why don’t they just keep quiet and allow the train wreck that they think her candidacy would cause?

I rather think that she is perceived by the left as a threat and they are therefore applying Alinsky’s tactic #13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it”.

Frum and Chums are generously helping out with tactic #5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

Is this supposed to be a coherent argument? Because it’s basically the mission statement of a troll: look at how much attention I’m getting!

But attention is not proof of anything other than attention. And in this case, the reason eager critics and Dems are jumping on Palin is that she’s an easy target, and a very rich and productive one. Some Republicans just love her to pieces… but she makes Independents groan. So, yes, Dems ARE very eager to give her lots and lots of attention, anointing her the face of the Republican Party. Because they know that all sorts of key swing groups mostly have a hard time taking her seriously.

Her latest cry of sexism is just baffling. The image is not “out of context.” The context is that Palin is a clown out of water: she posed for that ridiculous shot (funny how after all the uproar about flag protocol in ‘08, no one is upset by the use of the flag as a drape). That’s the context. She’s used her family and her body as political props, but then cries victim whenever they are commented on critically. She’s a one woman circus sideshow who comes across as not only not having thought seriously about any national issue, but not being interested in EVER doing so, more than a YEAR after she came to the national stage. She thinks settlements are good because Israel’s Jewish population is increasing and they need space to move into? Not even _proponents_ of settlement expansions would put their position that dumbly (and, factually confused).

But instead of anyone on the right being able to sit her down and tell her to get serious, she’s made clear that she listens to nobody and has no need to change anything.

What I don’t understand is why is he wasting his valuable time lecturing us mental defectives. Has he not heard of the admonition not to smarten up chumps?

Odd, that.

There is nothing to ‘defend’ about Palin. She’s having a rollicking good time. Never puts herself into too much of a difficult situation where she might have to answer some real questions, but always in front of adoring fans…much safer that way. She’s raking in millions although her book gives no glimpse into any policy goals should she go for the gold . Just whining about how bad McCain and company were to her.

Of course, they were terrified she was actually going to talk. As I said before…holy heart failure, Batman……

Most worrisome is probably her quitting her job. That was mystifying to say the least.

Isn’t there someone channeling Ike or Teddy R around somewhere, who could be more credible? I think either type could be needed down the road.

Don’t get me wrong, I think the Obama presidency will turn out well—just look at the fine way he is kicking the can down the road in Copenhagen. But we need a succession of good Presidents to break the oligarchs, restore financial sanity, and get us out of our costly wars. It’s not like there’s no room for a good Republican in there.

As for Sarah I think she’s unelectable, and rightfully so.
