"Barack Obama and Sarah Palin: Whose endorsement carries the most clout with U.S. voters these days?"

Answer: would you please repeat the question?

  1. Joe says:

    Dan Collins has a pretty good take on Barack Obama’s classification of thinking, Homo academicus.

  2. Another Bob says:

    A comment I read somewhere recently…

    “Maverick had to spend 22 million to beat a guy whose first name is initials.

    Barack Obama, (D-Mecca) could not get elected to the Watts city council at this point if Soros bankrupted himslf trying to do it.

    Sarah mentions the name of somebody and they’re carried on a sedan chair into office.

    So which one of these people has the most juice?”

  3. sdferr says:

    I still say if Barry had half a wit he’d be out campaigning for Republicans.

  4. happyfeet says:

    that’s sad

  5. Joe says:

    It is the wrong question. Sarah is actually a pretty savy picker of who to back (does she have an NFL line for next week?). Sarah has the ability to bring attention to a languishing campaign in the primaries.

    Barack Obama is trying to use his personally to swing things, but with a 40 something approval who is he preaching to? He is also defending those in power now, which is far different than what Palin is doing (giving attention to “David” candidates taking on establish GOP candidates in the primaries).

  6. happyfeet says:

    oh… that either of these shallow empty-suited whores have any influence whatsoever I mean

  7. pdbuttons says:

    she should always introduce herself
    like james bond does when he’s kicking someones ass
    at the card table
    last name first-pause-first name last
    and she needs a license to kill

  8. serr8d says:

    ‘feets, I have concerns concerning your failing staunchiness. If there’s any left at all, it’s melting faster than an Al Gore glacier.

    You should welcome Sarah Palin as a powerful ally against dirty socialisms, not attack her as worse than an enemy.

  9. geoffb says:

    I like that ‘buttons.

  10. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – Since NOBODY wants Bumbblefiucks endorsement, it’s kind of a hard comparison to make.

    – Reid is the very picture of what’s going on with all the Dems. He’s playing the tired old man politician who tried so hard to put the brakes on, openly campaigning against all of Obama’s policies, but using euphemisms as in: “Nobody can blame me for all that stuff that went on….”

    – Sure we can Harry. Just watch us.

    – Pelosi has simply disappeared completely.

  11. happyfeet says:

    what Sarah Palin does is bring American politics into the reality tv realm of Keeping up with the Kardashians and Hey Paula where notoriety and sparkle and a conspicuous lack of actual talent is conjumbled with gravitas and heft and it’s how we got president bumblefuck in the first place and it needs to stop now

  12. ThomasD says:

    M’Chelle is pretty darn masculine, but I’m not sure I’d go so far as to call Obama a homo…

  13. ak4mc says:

    Happyfeet, you are living in an alternate universe. I left that place 16 years ago. You should too.

  14. happyfeet says:

    Are you crazy I’d lose my deposit

  15. ak4mc says:

    I see where your staunchiness went.

  16. george smiley says:

    Who took a shiv into Obamacare with the dEath Panels, who really has marshalled the sensible opposition against the GZM, so much so that Imam Rauf, had to give her a backhanded complement this week, who has tried to hold President bumble’s abysmal handling of the Gulf Crisis. The left holds up Lindsay Lohan, who’s one step away from a fatal drug overdose, while spilling three cups of billious unsourced lies

  17. happyfeet says:

    I am teh staunchest one! What the Palin mooseketeers do not understand is that the very idea of a Sarah Palin is inimical to the success of a Paul Ryan or a Mr. Daniels. She’s the easy shortcut of paid sex. You know, like a hooker. The entire delicate courtship process of ideas and policy and discussion what a Daniels Ryan Kasich bring to an ideas-starved Team R is a lot subsumed by the whorish razzle dazzle of this insincere pandering tart.

  18. J."Trashman" Peden says:

    The Poll polls an “all adults” base, online, and tries to distinguish between Republicans, Conservatives, and Tea Partiers, for example. So it’s almost got to be irrelevant and a waste of time right from the start, imo. It looks more like an attempt to really really really torture the whole mechanism of a Poll. So I gave up.

    Will Palin be given any credit for abandoning her Governorship and thus getting out of the target zone – where just one successful dem. persecution in Alaska could have neutralized her forever – in order to do what she does best, which includes effectively zapping Obama routinely and thereby highlighting the question as to just whose ideas are better for America, who is more credible, and who is really smarter?

  19. pdbuttons says:

    the waves of the shitty 24 reality show culture
    drown out cantors et al
    she’s Nimitz class
    or-d’oh- the Titanic?

  20. ak4mc says:

    Happyfeet, when you rant about Sarah Palin, I respond the same as I would when some lunatic on a street corner starts shrieking about the eeeeeeeeeevil, wicked, wicked, eeeeeeeeeeevil [insert eeeeeeeeeevil, wicked, wicked, eeeeeeeeeeevildoer of choice here] — I walk on by, shaking my head and stifling a derisive guffaw.

  21. ak4mc says:

    And I can do that because I got out of the alternate universe you inhabit, where good guys are bad guys for not being perfect.

  22. happyfeet says:

    There’s nothing lunatic about looking at Sarah Palin and finding her to be wanting. It’s the majority view in America. I think our little country deserves better than political figures of her caliber and I think to the extent Sarah Palin’s shallow panderings consume political oxygen she actively harms our little country.

  23. Pablo says:

    There’s something lunatic about looking at Sarah Palin and losing your fucking mind.

  24. happyfeet says:

    Not when Sarah Palin’s presidential pretensions are president bumblefuck’s brightest most hopefulest hope of a second term.

  25. Pablo says:

    Sarah Palin will steal your breath while you’re sleeping. Beware.

  26. happyfeet says:

    no she won’t that’s just a myth

  27. Abe Froman says:

    Why did I know as soon as I saw the post that it would cause convulsions in a California cubicle monkey?

  28. ak4mc says:

    Sarah Palin caused my truck’s air filter to get clogged up.

  29. Ric Locke says:

    Palin or otherwise, don’t let Democrats run away from their records.

    Regards,
    Ric

  30. LTC John says:

    ak4mc – you are trying in vain. God bless ya for trying, but Staunchi has decided that Mrs. P is worse than Obama, worse than Pelosi, worse than anyone – a Pol Pot of the Denali.

  31. pdbuttons says:

    as sarah enlightens
    you’re sphincter do tighten

  32. David R. Block says:

    I see that ‘feets is angling for the TrollHammered hall of fame.

    Either that, or he’s just plain Hammered.

    As misogynist as Keith Olbermann?? He’s working on it.

  33. happyfeet says:

    we should trollhammer everyone what says mean things about Our Lady of the Blessed Tundra cause of that would be a powerful statement I think

  34. David R. Block says:

    Around here that would only impact you, I beleive.

  35. george smiley says:

    The majority view that gave us, a clueless git who think Doctors amputate limbs and endocrine tracts in the dead of night, he may not actually believe that, I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt. I like Kasich, he’s going to have his handsful, cleaning up the septic backup that Strickland has left though, Ryan will be good running the budget machinery, and Daniels, he’s ok, kind of like Wendell
    Wilkie, I don’t see the source of adoration for the hoosier

  36. dicentra says:

    Please. It’s Glenn Beck.

    Apparently, the Pakistani ambassador asked that Beck openly condemn the moronic Quran burner in Florida (while Beck was on vacation last week) and Glenn observed that it’s a sign that the country is in really bad shape if Glenn has that much influence on world affairs.

  37. happyfeet says:

    where has Sarah Palin been while the president’s job-killing oil drilling moratorium ravages the Gulf economy? Isn’t that supposed to be her signature issue? Where is the courage for to be speaking out? Where is the courage for to stand with our unemployed oil drilling amigos?

    What I ask you is the point of this deeply feckless woman if when an unprecedented moratorium elevates her defining issue to the national agenda she runs and hides like a cowering coward?

    When the oil drillers need someone to stand up for them, the drill baby drill hoochie what once saw an advantage in exploiting them, she vanishes. She betrays them with her cowardly silence.

    It makes me sad how alone our oil drilling friends in the Gulf are.

  38. JD says:

    David Block – I say mean things about her too.

  39. dicentra says:

    The majority view that gave us a clueless git who thinks doctors amputate limbs and endocrine tracts in the dead of night…

    Everyone please adjust your assumptions about how the Left uses language: Obama, like all other Leftists, doesn’t make assertions that he thinks are true, he makes assertions that he thinks are useful.

    Whether he actually believes that doctors behave this way is irrelevant: all that matters is that such assertions be made to advance the Left’s narrative, which is that The Left Ought To Be In Charge.

    That’s part of the problem with us conservatives: we keep countering the Left’s “useful” assertions with actual facts, when for them facts never were the point of the exercise.

    Better to counter their narrative by showing that it’s a narrative and also showing the linguistic tactics they use to keep their power-grabbing narrative alive.

    Maybe if someone created a blog dedicated to power-grabbing linguistic assumptions or sumptin…

  40. pdbuttons says:

    just googled sarah palin gulf coast
    seems she’s got responses- she certainly ain’t hiding
    don’t get all wee wee’d up

  41. Joe says:

    happy, I am guessing Sarah Palin does not make you have happy thoughts. I am not suggesting you are this insane (despite your defense of Patterico in the past) but try to step back from the Inspector Sullivan position and his insane conspiracy path.

    Here is a prediction. I hope Sarah Palin does not run in 2012 and I doubt she will. But if Palin does run, she will not be the GOP president nominee. If Daniels (Ryan is not going to run) has any chance as a candidate, it depends on him and how much backing he can draw. Not Sarah Palin.

  42. happyfeet says:

    I do not see that Sarah Palin has led on the moratorium issue and I am very disappointed in her lack of leadership.

  43. george smiley says:

    I think Iowahawk is going to have to come up with a new character for our sad little pikachu, honestly do you want to be in the same room with Frum, Moran, Friedersdorf, and company.

  44. happyfeet says:

    If Palin is not running then she is perpetrating a fraudulent fraud Mr. Joe.

  45. J."Trashman" Peden says:

    as sarah enlightens
    you’re sphincter do tighten

    You’ R. sphincter do tighten? Happyfeet’s?

  46. Abe Froman says:

    we should trollhammer everyone what says mean things about Our Lady of the Blessed Tundra cause of that would be a powerful statement I think

    Nobody gets upset here when I call her a moron. Maybe you should contemplate how fucking annoying you are rather than blaming the snowbilly for the fact that almost everyone here is sick of you.

  47. happyfeet says:

    peer pressure!

  48. george smiley says:

    Was that Akbar Ahmed, he was the one that coined Islamophobia. Let’s be blunt about things, the current govt over there is headed by Mr. 10%, the schools are horrible, in part because the politicians have gone full Geithner and don’t pay tax at all. The Madrassah fill the gap, and the ISI
    is the Fifth Column, training an d directing the Taliban, but it’s our complaints that are the problem

  49. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Maybe if someone created a blog dedicated to power-grabbing linguistic assumptions or sumptin…

    That kind of thinking leads to reader-polls!

  50. J."Trashman" Peden says:

    peer pressure!

    No, spackle…’cause I saw it on tv.

  51. ak4mc says:

    LTC, I’ve lifted my ‘Hammering of the unhappy little turtle. Now I just point and laugh.

    A much more powerful statement, I think.

  52. Dave in SoCal says:

    I do not see that Sarah Palin has led on the moratorium issue and I am very disappointed in her lack of leadership.

    Happy, the fact that you would rather focus your energies on railing about the snowbilly’s failure to adequately (in your mind) fight against the moratorium issue rather than against the person and Party what did enact the moratorium in the first place (and would like to do far worse things) is a pretty damning indication of your staunchlessness. It’s a pity you refuse to see it, despite all the helpful suggestions offered here on a regular basis.

  53. happyfeet says:

    that is not true Mr. Dave in SoCal the successes of the dirty socialists are defined by Team R’s accedings to them, and cowardly Team R has just a lot definitively established the precedent of blanket oil drilling moratoriums as an acceptable policy response to an oopsy. Arbitrary moratoriums now join many other incremental changes what add up over time. What add up incredibly noxiously over time.

    This was Sarah Palin’s issue, and she failed to champion it when it mattered most.

  54. J."Trashman" Peden says:

    Better to counter their narrative by showing that it’s a narrative and also showing the linguistic tactics they use to keep their power-grabbing narrative alive.

    Maybe if someone created a blog dedicated to power-grabbing linguistic assumptions or sumptin…

    No, that would be too extreeeeeme for the supergood average Moderate, if not also raaaacist, “boy”.

  55. Dave in SoCal says:

    And I agree with Joe that if Palin were so tone-deaf as to run in 2012 (even if for no other reason than to personally drive Happy into a cupcake-fueled rage), she’d never get the nomination. It’s waaaaayyy too soon after 2008 and she’s still far too toxic in the majority of the public’s mind. She needs a good decade or so to try to rehabilitate her image. Working behind the scenes to help shape the GOP into a more conservative brand as she’s been doing will go a long ways towards that.

  56. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Anyone else think that happyfeet thinks Sarah Palin lives either in his closet or under his bed and only comes out after beddie-bye time?

  57. Ernst Schreiber says:

    My only quibble with that Dave, is that it’s Barak Obama who’s too toxic, not Sarah Palin. It’s going to be another couple of generations before somebody as unproven as either Palin or Obama is again entrusted with the Presidency.

  58. Dave in SoCal says:

    #58

    I’m sure Team D is very pleased with you Happy. You’re making the drilling moratorium issue all about Palin’s and Team R’s reactions to it (no matter how insufficient or wrong headed they may be) rather than about the failshit President what initiated it in the first place.

  59. Ernst Schreiber says:

    And just for the record, I thought Palin was more qualified to be President than Obama, and I think events have proven that to be the case.

  60. happyfeet says:

    that would be a very selective reading of my oil drilling moratorium comments Mr. Dave

  61. Frontman says:

    “Anyone else think that happyfeet thinks Sarah Palin lives either in his closet or under his bed and only comes out after beddie-bye time?”

    Well, she turned me into a newt…

    ….I got better!

  62. Dave in SoCal says:

    Ernst, I disagree that Obama is more toxic than Palin. Don’t forget that he’s still got an entire media army willing to run interference for him when it matters, while that same media is uniformly opposed to Palin and willing to run whatever unsourced garbage about her that they can. The fact that Obama’s administration has been so obviously and visibly inept and clueless that even his media supporters can’t cover up or spin it all away is beside the point.

    But I agree 100% with your second point about “unproven”.

  63. george smiley says:

    At every speech in every facebook post, in every interview she has spoken of the idiocy of the moratorium even to the likes of knuckleheads like O’Reilly, he’s as dense as depleted uranium
    on that score, but in a different way then our mad mogwai

  64. happyfeet says:

    Mr. smiley do you have links I have not really heard much from Sarah on the issue since her initial defensive facebook post

  65. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – feets, your rants against}Palin are just silly. She has no official position what so ever, nor anything to do with making policy of any sort, especially the oil/energy mess. Taking her to task the way you do, you’d think she was speaker of the House in a GOP controlled Congress.Simply ridiculous. You just don’t like her, probably for some snobbish reason like her back country manner of speaking.

    – Calling her stupid just shows you are a poor judge of character. The Left morons and the Mean-stream fucking media are in full flight PDS over her, and she doesn’t even hold an office at the moment. They even hired a reporter to rent a house and move in near her to spy on her. If you don’t like her fine, but all this mindless ranting and specious accusations against her just serves the Lefts idiocies. Her record in office speaks for itself. She acted in the staunchness you just profess to believe in. She did everything she could to thwart the Democrats and left controlled legislature in her state, and they reacted in the worst display of Hillery’s “politics of personal destruction” possible. She handled it all with grace and character. Demeaning her after all she’s been through, particularly the phony way you go about it, just makes you looks small and immature.

    – Classically, failed personalities don’t generally give it another go, unless some time has passed and things have improved. Hillery may give it a shot but I doubt very much Palin will do anything for the moment but help get other true Conservatives elected. You should be cheering her on in those efforts, not falsely defaming her.

    – As I’ve said before, if she didn’t exist we’d need to invent her.

  66. Dave in SoCal says:

    that would be a very selective reading of my oil drilling moratorium comments Mr. Dave

    I don’t think so Happy. Look at #53. You’re blaming “the precedent of blanket oil drilling moratoriums as an acceptable policy response to an oopsy” on Team R for not fighting hard enough or correctly against it, rather than blaming the freaking person and party that actually did the deed.

    This was Sarah Palin’s Barack Obama’s issue, and she [the non-office holding Sarah Palin] failed to champion it when it mattered most to happyfeet’s satisfaction.

    FTFY

  67. happyfeet says:

    Mr. Hunter I don’t like her this is true but I also was very offended that a nothing-assed piece of shit like Obama could seek the presidency and I said so. Sarah Palin would be good on Survivor: The Tundra or she could do a nice wild game cooking show or she could hawk her own design of turquoise pieces on the QVC… but she should not put herself forward as being of presidential caliber. To do so immensely cheapens an already immensely cheapened presidency and places it squarely in the province of Oprah and Huckabee and any other riff-raff what can aggregate an audience. Sarah Palin is the exact same sort of unaccomplished shallow pandering whore as Obama, and she should be kept far far away from the presidency of our beleaguered little country.

    Why is it the only one what can’t come out and say Sarah Palin would be a crap nominee is Sarah Palin? That’s very curious cause it’s the only poll-tested Team R issue she doesn’t pander to.

  68. happyfeet says:

    Mr. Dave I have made many many other commentings about the job-killing oil drilling moratorium… these are just the Sarah Palin thread ones.

  69. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – So you blame her for Obama. Well, you’re welcome to your opinion, but I think you’d find most people believe it was the national press coupled with a do-nothing GOP Congress coupled with a GOP that decided to run a RINO that would be the most to blame. Palin was probably the only bright spot on the whole GOP ticket, and was added precisely to bring some youth and freshness and energy to a stuffy tired boring plank.

    – As things went, even with all of that, the Dems barely won. If Rudy would have done things properly, they would not have.

    – You can’t lay any of that at her feet – feets.

  70. LTC John says:

    “the successes of the dirty socialists are defined by Team R’s accedings to them”

    See, everything wrong done by O! and the Dems is a Republican’s fault!!11!

    Pay no attention to 60 seats in the Senate and 77 seat majority in the House – it was the Republicans fault! This is O’s argument – just reversed as to the desirability as to the outcome. How does it feel to share an excuse/justification with O!?

  71. happyfeet says:

    I don’t blame her for Obama I think she’s a symptom of the same disease. The elevation of razzle dazzle and cheap charisma into the realm of the presidential over and above substance and experience and merit.

    Palin was probably the only bright spot on the whole GOP ticket

    For reals not even Sarah Palin could put lipstick on the John McCain pig.

  72. happyfeet says:

    Mr. LTC my argument is not very much different than the one Jeff makes today.

    This is precisely why we can’t have liberal GOP members who, if elected, most certainly won’t vote to repeal, eg., Obamacare — but rather would seek to “find the good parts” and work with them.

    Team R, Sarah Palin included, has a lot accommodated the dirty socialist job-killing oil drilling moratorium with their silence, and that is a dire precedent I think.

    After PG&E made crispy people nobody called for a moratorium on natural gas. That’s cause highly regulated utilities are politically right where our ruling class wants them to be.

    This moratorium is new, it’s arbitrary, and it’s capricious. And it should have been opposed with vehemence. That it was not will have consequences.

    For the children or not, such steps need to be walked back and not merely trod upon lightly..

    Yes I think that is good advice with respect to job-killing oil drilling moratoriums. I wish Sarah Palin agreed.

  73. Dave in SoCal says:

    OK Happy, we get it. Sarah Palin is too trailer-park trash to occupy such a noble place as the White House. The Palins would probably want to put a big satellite dish on the roof and park their snowmobiles on the front lawn anyways, thereby ruining property values for all the finer folks in DC.

    Sarah Palin is the exact same sort of unaccomplished shallow pandering whore as Obama

    Fail. Unlike Obama, Palin has actual accomplishments under her belt. Mayor of a city, Governor of a state. You may argue that they are insufficient to hold the highest office in the land, but you can’t just ignore them or wish them away because you happen to personally think she’s just a hoochie.

    And as BBH notes above, she has demonstrated staunchness in the past when it was needed. Please note that this staunchness happened long before anyone knew who she was or cared… so you can’t say she did it solely to satisfy her attention-whore cravings.

  74. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – Based on her factual record as Gov. of Alaska, it’s obvious she does feets.

  75. ak4mc says:

    Team R, Sarah Palin included, has a lot accommodated the dirty socialist job-killing oil drilling moratorium with their silence, and that is a dire precedent I think.

    See? Alternate universe.

  76. happyfeet says:

    Maybe we should ask the idled driller people if they appreciate Sarah Palin’s staunch efforts to date on their behalf.

  77. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – That is precisely why I don’t buy the “pandering hoochie” claims. Everything she did while she was in office were against an easy time of it with the State controlled by the Dems, and all happened before there was the slightest hint she’d be tapped for the national ticket.

    = So that dog don’t hunt.

  78. happyfeet says:

    Mr. McGehee aside from the very lonely Mr. Jindal, how much effort has Team R expended protesting against the moratorium?

  79. Dave in SoCal says:

    Maybe we should ask the idled driller people if they appreciate Sarah Palin’s staunch efforts to date on their behalf.

    How about we ask them whose efforts they appreciate more on this issue, Palin’s or Obama’s?

  80. SDN says:

    Well, ‘feets, when she actually becomes She Who Must Be Obeyed and can pronounce “So let it be written, so let it be done” like Yul Brynner, get back to us.

    Now, I’m going to go chant for an hour, “Never reset the Trollhammer!”

  81. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – Like I said feets, you would have been right in line at Marathon when it came time to kill the messenger. She’s out campaigning for true Conservative candidates, fighting Against the entrenched RINO-esque GOP establishment as it exists. You should be backing her every step of the way, not ankle biting every thing you think she should be doing.

    – She’s already knocked several old school GOP candidates out and helped get more conservatives into the race like Miller and O’Donnell. She’s going to do a bunch more of that if she can.

  82. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – For all of her faults as you seem to want to describe, she must be doing something right. Republican candidates are seeking her help and support, whereas Bumbblefuck can’t even get his own party to admit they know him.

  83. Dave in SoCal says:

    how much effort has Team R expended protesting against the moratorium?

    Happy, maybe you can elaborate on just what a private citizen and an out of power minority party would have done in happyfeetworld to stop Obama’s non-legislation-based moratorium. I’ve heard denouncings aplenty from everyone on the Team R side. What exactly is missing? Palin chaining herself to the front doors of the Dept of the Interior or the MMS? Boehner vowing to stop tanning until the moratorium is lifted?

  84. happyfeet says:

    ok Mr. Hunter so why can’t she do those things without fronting herself as presidential? If she would simply say yes I understand I’m about as presidential as pickle juice then I think she would be in a much better position vis-a-vis… me.

  85. When elected president, Sarah Palin will ban cupcakes and order the slaughter of all turtles for turtle soup.

  86. Dave in SoCal says:

    ok Mr. Hunter so why can’t she do those things without fronting herself as presidential?

    I’m not Mr. Hunter, but I’ll take a swipe at it. Is it because “I’m just a dumb, attention craving hoochie what would like to have a reality show about me but I think you should vote for this conservative” doesn’t have the same ring of effectiveness?

  87. happyfeet says:

    Mr. Dave Sarah is credited with many many accomplishings in her role as a private citizen… why could she not add to those accomplishings the moving public opinion on a job-killing oil drilling moratorium on what is after all her signature issue?

    I think it’s cause championing oil drillings does not fit with her sense of what is in her own self-interest right now as she plans to run for president. I think it’s cause she’s a cheap hypocritical pandering empty suit what will happily discard her principles when they become politically inconvenient.

    If you can’t count on Sarah Palin to stand up for oil drillings, you can’t count on her for very much at all I don’t think.

  88. Mark A. Flacy says:

    Well, we can count on you for being a dick. There’s that.

  89. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – I have not seen her do that. What I’ve seen is a lot of people she’s very popular with keep trying to get the ball rolling. I personally do not think either her or her handlers have any such intentions for 2012, baring some real flip in political fortunes, and that includes the possible take over of the House and Senate by the Republicans. Her handlers are not that dumb. She needs National seasoning like Hillery before she’d even try. The only possibility I see, and its pretty remote, is she could be picked again as a running mate for Rudy should he decide to get off his ass and go for it.

    – What would make you happy, if she did a “if nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve”, and wore a sack cloth?

  90. Dave in SoCal says:

    What would make you happy, if she did a “if nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve”, and wore a sack cloth?

    No. See happy’s # 84. She just needs to publicly admit her hoochiness and unsuitability to ever be president. Because of the hoochiness.

  91. When elected president, Sarah Palin will force the NFL to appoint Pam Tebow as its commissioner and make everyone put Tim Tebow bobble-head dolls on their dashboards.

    Because of the Jesusyness!!!

  92. happyfeet says:

    Mr. Flacy that was mean just cause I don’t like Sarah Palin doesn’t make me a bad person. I recycle like a mofo you know.

    Mr. Hunter if Sarah would forswear 2012 ambitions she and I would get along much much better than we currently do. I’ve definitely done my part in stating what it is I want from her, but she’s remained obstinately silent on the issue. I feel like I’m doing all the work in this relationship, and between you and me I’m getting kind of tired of it.

  95. David R. Block says:

    Sorry, something called WORK got in the way.

    37-‘feets, Google is your friend, or in this case, NOT. See pdbuttons at 40. She has said plenty, but the LSM has not seen fit to cover it. Gee, I wonder why not? (Not really.)

    I’m not sure how much leadership she could carry, even if she was still governor of AK. A tanker fubar is not an oil well fubar, and she wasn’t governor then. Curious the way you assign fraud. If she isn’t running she’s a fraud? She must not be allowed to express an opinion unless she is running for office? Good Lord (or Good Allah, as the case may be).

    38-JD, you don’t seem to have the volume.

    46-Abe. Bless you sir. The moment I see Palin in the title around here I know that ‘feets is going to go bull goose loony. Sure enough…

    53-‘feets. The Dumbocrats don’t need Republican votes and the Health Care passage did not get any-at least in the House. There’s something about not having a majority in a legislative body when you need a majority of votes. You pass very little and you kill very little unless there are disenters in the majority.

    The frontings as Presidential would be impossible were it not for the LSM looking to use her own words and actions against her, much like happyfeet does.

    It is going to get to where I only comment when I have Trollhammer available. ‘feets is making my bad blood pressure worse.

    “…I feel like I’m doing all the work in this relationship, and between you and me I’m getting kind of tired of it.”

    – Maybe you should send her some flowers or a nice card. Sounds like true love to me.

  98. happyfeet says:

    Mr. Block I don’t think Sarah has even been to Louisiana since the oils spill. I have definitely googled and I don’t see where she’s made much effort to protest the moratorium at all, but she should be leading on this issue… it used to be her #1 issue until the accident with the leakings.

  99. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    the successes of the dirty socialists are defined by Team R’s accedings to them

    Led by a personal favorite of yours, GW Bush. Just for once try and reconcile that problem, happyfeet. You liked GW Bush but hate, hate, hate Palin. Image? I realize that you’re kind of the anti-Jeff in that regard (the whole image is reality bullshit that Jeff has tried to put a stop to for some time now), but given even that, how is her image worse than Bush’s? I’m in the Abe Froman camp here in regards to Palin. She doesn’t do much for me as she seems like she is cut from the same cloth as Bush. However, the truth is that she governed to the right of Bush. For the staunchiest, you would think that would have some merit. Your guy was the absolute catalyst for the dirty filthy socialist shithead being elected in the first place, yet your venom is aimed at a talking head?

  100. ThomasD says:

    Cupcakes is sorta like cowpox. A non-serious viral infection that leaves one immune to a substantially more serious illness.

    Although, one need only be exposed to cowpox once.

    While herpes don’t save you from squat.

  101. Dave in SoCal says:

    Happy, as I asked above, what specific actions do YOU think she should be taking to protest the moratorium? What would satisfy your personal requirements for staunchness?

    And no, “leading” is not nearly specific enough.

  102. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – I think the local sheriffs down South that blocked the roads and told the Feds to turn around and go back to DC are doing a fine job without her help feets.

    – She’s a remarkably bright, strong lady, but she’s not Wonder Woman feets.

  103. ak4mc says:

    Happyfeet, you claim “…Sarah Palin … accommodated the dirty socialist job-killing oil drilling moratorium with [her] silence…”

    That’s a damn lie, as you’ve been told repeatedly.

    You’re entitled to your own opinion, but don’t even think of trying to have your own facts and getting out of here with your scalp.

  104. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    I don’t want her running but, hf, I think your cheese has adjusted itself off your cracker on this one. The petroleum industry is as terrified of that woman as the greenies are. I’m no Palin champion, but as Governor she did calf rope the shit out’a big oil. That’s fact. And it’s no small task.

    As far as her speaking out loudly on the moratorium? When your opponent is trying like hell to shoot himself in the head. Better to say nothing and get out of his way.

  105. happyfeet says:

    I don’t think there’s any comparing Bush’s governings with Sarah Palin’s. Bush served two terms with an astonishing grace. Sarah Palin ungraciously bailed halfway through one term cause people were mean to where they wouldn’t let her financially exploit her new-found notoriety while in office.

  106. happyfeet says:

    Mr. McGehee where are the links to Sarah’s protestings of the moratorium?

    I do not know where they are I looked and looked.

    Mr. Lamont maybe you are right but she is definitely the “drill baby drill” lady and guess what? The drillings offshore are all stopped. That is a lot antithetical to drill baby drill I think. You’d think she might have a thing or two to say about that.

  107. Sarah Palin ungraciously bailed halfway through one term cause people were mean to where they wouldn’t let her financially exploit her new-found notoriety while in office.

    Horse baloney.

  108. Big Bang Hunter says:

    “…they wouldn’t let her financially exploit her new-found notoriety while in office.”

    – Sorry feets. Now you’ve been reduced to simply parroting the MFM’s whispering campaign against her. That’s where I draw the line. This is not an “In Defense of Sarah Palin” web site, but you seem to be hell bent on making it so.

    – Just can’t take you serious anymore in this area.

  109. Pablo says:

    Do you ever get the impression that some people would like to gut Sarah Palin and wear her skin and bask in her spotlight and blow Todd every now and then?

  110. dicentra says:

    No, that would be too extreeeeeme for the supergood average Moderate, if not also raaaacist, “boy”.

    You treatin’ me like a dog the president or sumthin?

    Shame on you!

  111. Spiny Norman says:

    Sarah Palin ungraciously bailed halfway through one term cause people were mean to where they wouldn’t let her financially exploit her new-found notoriety while in office.

    She was supposed to stay there and go fucking bankrupt ’cause her political enemies found a loophole to hamstring her!

    This is not an “In Defense of Sarah Palin” web site, but you seem to be hell bent on making it so.

    Ain’t he though? I think his “bash the snowbilly” fetish is an unhealthy obsession.

  112. happyfeet says:

    there’s not a single argument I’ve made against the Sarah Palin that she wouldn’t face in a national campaign… whereas many other potential candidates named Mr. Daniels do not have her enormous amount of baggage…

    The lesson here is you don’t bail on your elected office like a coward and then pretend you’re cut out for the presidency.

  113. Squid says:

    And yet, like the drooling idiots who’ve preceded him, happyfeet provides the stimulus to force us to look at the actual record and see Palin for her actions, as opposed to the cartoon character created by the MSM and SNL. My wife suffered from Palin Derangement Syndrome for a while, and the arguments and rebuttals I read here went a long way toward showing her that the person who governed Alaska and ran for Vice-President was not the same person as the media creation, and that the person toward whom my lovely bride directed her ire was created by the same machine that created Obama.

    So thanks, guys, for laying out the evidence for me. And thanks, happy, for your bloody-minded persistence in forcing us to shine a light on all the bullshit you cling to so dearly.

  114. Dave in SoCal says:

    there’s not a single argument I’ve made against the Sarah Palin that she wouldn’t face in a national campaign

    “Dumb hoochie unpresidential quitter” (and variations thereof) is an opinion, not an argument.

  115. happyfeet says:

    Some people like Sarah Palin and some people don’t.

    Me I’m in the latter group. A lot of y’all are in the former group. And even though y’all Sarah Palin fans are in a decided minority in our little country, I don’t resort to calling you crazy or diseased or drooling idiots or otherwise defective.

    I don’t get why you guys feel like you have to lash out at me like that. It hurts my feelings a little.

  116. Pablo says:

    She was supposed to stay there and go fucking bankrupt ’cause her political enemies found a loophole to hamstring her!

    Yes, and she left the job to her guy, Sean Parnell, and his stupid 80%+ approval rating. Now, he’s about to get reelected in a landslide. Damn her all to heck!

  117. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    You’d think she might have a thing or two to say about that.

    If she hasn’t, I’m kind of glad she hasn’t. Palin is weapons grade polarizing. As much as Hillary ever was. The majority of employment in the petroleum industry in the lower 48 is not drilling (off shore or otherwise). It’s in refineries and byproduct refineries (rubber, plastic, etc). The moratorium fucks those workers far more than any 20,000 rig tool pushers. Many of those tool pushers being independents, libertarians, or old southern democrats like their granddaddies. Those people? All of ’em. Rig workers, refinery workers, brothers, sisters, cousins across four Gulf states who have voted democrat since Carter just swung to the “Anybody But a Democrat” party. Which means they mostly vote with us.

    Even though those people share more things in common with Palin than they don’t, if she jumps on board now there’s a danger she capsizes that particular boat.

    I’m fine with her shutting up and just letting the wheel turn.

  118. Squid says:

    Perhaps you’d prefer if we called you a mouth-breathing Californian man-hoochie who only persists because he has delusions of somehow assuming a position beyond the limits of his cupcake and turtle expertise.

  119. Pablo says:

    I don’t get why you guys feel like you have to lash out at me like that. It hurts my feelings a little.

    It’s nothing personal. It’s just that you’re bugfuck nuts and creepily obsessed.

  120. happyfeet says:

    if she jumps on board now there’s a danger she capsizes that particular boat.

    I wondered but that she might be counter-productive on some of these issues as well. But she seems determined not to risk finding out.

    That’s not the same as leadership.

    Mr. Squid I’m just a little pikachu in studio city what has thinkings on Sarah Palin and other issues du jour so I write my commentings and I hit this little button what says Say It!

    I promise I am not deluded at all that there’s any more to it than that. And damn skippy I know from cupcakes.

  121. Dave in SoCal says:

    “shallow empty-suited whore”

    “whorish razzle dazzle of this insincere pandering tart”

    “She’s the easy shortcut of paid sex. You know, like a hooker”

    “this deeply feckless woman… runs and hides like a cowering coward?”

    “When the oil drillers need someone to stand up for them, the drill baby drill hoochie what once saw an advantage in exploiting them, she vanishes. She betrays them with her cowardly silence.”

    “Sarah Palin is the exact same sort of unaccomplished shallow pandering whore as Obama”

    “she’s a cheap hypocritical pandering empty suit what will happily discard her principles when they become politically inconvenient”

    Happyfeet: “I don’t get why you guys feel like you have to lash out at me like that. It hurts my feelings a little.”

  122. happyfeet says:

    No Mr. Pablo I am not “bugfuck nuts.” People what think this dismally inadequate-to-the-task hoochie is suitable for the presidency are possibly a bit tetched, but I think it would be ungracious if not positively ill-mannered to say so.

  123. Abe Froman says:

    Happyfeet reminds me of an irritating housefly that refuses to die.

  124. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – Before you go all “they’re calling me a dog” pitty-potty on us feets, I have called you no names, just described your actions and words.

    – In most cases, insightful people tend to stop and examine their reflections on issues and positions on same, when they see a trend in their thinking that goes sharply against others in their group. They don’t start grabbing for the crying towel.

    – You’ve been debated on this issue endlessly, and that, in spite of the fact that most of your stated contentions (stated any number of times as if people can’t read, but lets set that aside), are really opinions, and not a matter of record, but now you’re down to the bottom of the barrel with repeating things you’ve read in MFM Palin slur campaigns. That’s a bridge a little too far, when you start to carry the opponents water for them.

    – That’s the only reason I’m cutting off the debate. Jeff at least acknowledges his douchiness. You seem to want to cling bitterly to your hate for Palin in a most “unhappyfeets” way.

  125. george smiley says:

    Yes you are feets, and you should know better, they call her every insult in the book save that for Loretta Sanchez or Diane Feinstein, or other folks who have locked the state up,

    Obama is Soros’s poodle hence he bends over backwards and forward, for Petrobras yesterday, PEMEX today, PDVSA tomorrow. You can’t cite one issue you would disagree with her on, so you rely on the Couric interview and Tina Fey. Well I hopethat keeps you warm at night, when we have another crisis
    and brownouts rampage through the state.

  126. Squid says:

    It saddens me that a commenter I once enjoyed reading has descended to such depths. The hysterics regarding Palin were bad enough, but the fact that this little man who dishes out the most hateful and vile vitriol on a daily basis can’t understand why others would treat him in similar fashion show such a staggering lack of self-awareness that I can’t help but conclude that he’s lived among the NPR tote-baggers for so long that he’s gone native.

    Alas, poor happyfeet! I knew him, Horatio.

  127. happyfeet says:

    oh bosh Sarah Palin deserves numerous slurs it can’t be helped that lots of the good ones are already taken

  128. Pam Tebow says:

    No Mr. Pablo I am not “bugfuck nuts.”

    Oh, you are, sweetie. Without question. Jesus loves you, though!

  129. Big Bang Hunter says:

    I’ve said my last on it, you can do whatever you choose to feets, Palin is not going to run fro Prez just so you can bitch. I’m pretty sure of that.

  130. bh says:

    Work was brutal today. Haven’t had any time to read the blog.

    So, what’s everyone think of this Sarah Palin lady?

  131. happyfeet says:

    Sarah Palin is a quintessentially unpresidential celebrity spokesmodel hoo-hah what appears to have designs on our little white house Mr. Squid. I don’t see how it’s wrong to stand up and say so. For all practical purposes our little won’t have too terribly many chances in future to get this president thing right. In fact I think 2012 might be something of a pivot point.

    So the blitheness with which a Palin candidacy is batted about is a little alarming.

  132. happyfeet says:

    oh.

    our little *country* won’t have too terribly many chances … is what that should say

  133. Abe Froman says:

    Sarah Palin is too smart to ever have her Blackberry stolen by cholos.

  134. Big Bang Hunter says:

    “So the blitheness with which a Palin candidacy is batted about is a little alarming.”

    – That’s a horse of a different color feets. Welcome to the “New politics” of the cult of personality.

    – You might as well get used to it, it will be a fad for the foreseeable future, and since it will be I’d just as soon have someone with some looks in the oval office, all things being equal.

    – Why just today the first lady lashed out at restaurants, saying they should serve more apples and less butter. Paula Dean is in seclusion.

  135. happyfeet says:

    well see that right there is among the several reasons what I do not fancy myself presidential Mr. Froman

  136. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    I’m staying out of the fray. I don’t know that I have a beef. Palin is either chastised, cursed & castigated to the depths, or cult like worshiped and/or expected to preform miracles by everybody else (or suffer the consequences).

    But. She knows that now. And has for a while. And she’s still front & center. That’s fair to say.

    It’s all image anyway. And that’s sad. Before she was McCain’s VP pick, the woman had a track record that screamed HUGE balls. She took on her own hyper-powerful corrupt party AND big oil. And won. Both times. I mean, goddamn. But it was Alaska… and nobody noticed. It’s like she whipped the hell out of Al Swearengen in Deadwood but in this version Bill Hickock didn’t get shot there so nobody gave a shit or made a show about it.

    The substance is there in spades with that lady. I hope she rolls with that.

  137. happyfeet says:

    Mr. Hunter it is not a promising path I do not think, the celebrification of our presidency.

  138. Abe Froman says:


    well see that right there is among the several reasons what I do not fancy myself presidential Mr. Froman

    – Kelly Avote is another one of Palin’s favs in NH, up 39-30% over the GOP candidate, after she trailed by 15 points just three weeks ago.

    – Go, go Grizzly bear Mamma

  141. happyfeet says:

    if Sarah Palin helps to defeat SEIU whore Mike Castle then I would say she has earned a cupcake

  142. Mark A. Flacy says:

    Mr. Flacy that was mean just cause I don’t like Sarah Palin doesn’t make me a bad person.

    The fact that you won’t STFU over it *and* the fact that you stoop to personal insults about her *does* make you a bad person.

    There’s no place for that. At all.

    If Palin is not running then she is perpetrating a fraudulent fraud Mr. Joe.

    Double negative?

  148. Joe says:

    Rush gave Boehner a pass today. He recognize they were trying to set him up for campaign ads, so Boehner had to negate what they are up to. No praise, just a pass from El Rushbo.

    It is like going to confession.

  149. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – If the tax hikes go through on the portion that includes 50% of America’s small businesses it could mean the loss of another 5 to 10 million jobs. No matter how partisan Obama wants to play it, I don’t think there’s a Dem in Congress that is stupid enough to commit still further political suicide. A double dip recession, and unemloyment topping 12%-15%, and the remaining Dems could kiss DC goodbye.

    – Normally, the party encumbants are loath to go against GOP favorites for fear of splitting the vote. But then normally you have solid red state/blue state conditions in most localities.

    – All of that is off the table this time around, so they’re just not sure what to do really. More important it doesn’t matter what they do. This election is going to be strictly on the mood of the voters.

    – Every day that goes by with the Dems and Bumbblefuck trying to ignore the realities of raising taxes on the small business owner is digging their hole deeper and deeper.

    – The Dems are desperate to find some way to get on top of it and they’re taking an even worse chance, the losing gamblers double down. Some Dems are starting to speak outright against it now, and we’ve still got over a month to go. Thry’re getting killed on the tube by people like Krauthammer, Crystal, and the Dark Knight himself. Apparently they think just admitting they were playing ckass warfare in face of the pending vote would do more damage than trying to play it out.

    – Ole Bush inadvertently left a poison pill in the punch bowl, but it was the Dems that demanded a time limit on the original bill, so they may have bit themselves on the ass in retrospect.

    I want to read that one again if I remember right that’s my favorite one of his I ever read… it was very America somehow

  187. newrouter says:

    cupcakes for susan the blogothon w/hf

  188. serr8d says:

    King wrote some of the best escapist modern fiction evah. The Shining was, is my personal fave.

  189. JD says:

    I have never enjoyed King, ever.

  190. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – HuffPo lede – Standing brave against the wave….

    “Five Progressives In Swing Districts Are Bucking The Tide.”………………….[In] 2010, a handful of House Democrats have an opportunity to prove that maxim wrong and to demonstrate that even in a tough year, by standing up for core progressive values, a Democrat can win a tough race.”

    – Wait. Doesn’t that sort of ampliphy the fact we are picking through the ruins, I mean pointing out such a small group of hopeful?

    – Yes. You’re right. Lets bury it down the page a bit.

    – While you’re being so candid, how about this dress. Does it make my ass look fat?

    – Ummmmmmmmm………

  191. serr8d says:

    JD, is that.because you dislike the genre?

  192. Pablo says:

    King wrote some of the best escapist modern fiction evah. The Shining was, is my personal fave.

    I’d have to go with The Stand, though I really enjoyed The Dark Half too.

  193. The Shining is an excellent novel.. Although I like Jack Nicholson’s performance in the movie, I enjoyed King’s original version of the main character much more.

  194. newrouter says:

    the donkey fla ag cand told greta now that the suit his state is pursuing on obamacare now will die with his election. yea that will sell

  195. serr8d says:

    They ruined The Shining in that sorry remake. A croquet mallet! Would be like outfitting Dirty Harry with a derringer.

  196. JD says:

    serr9d – yes. Simply personal preference. Same with sci-fi. It just never appealed to me.

  197. serr8d says:

    That performance by the Jets offense was offensive. Worst I’ve watched all weekend.

  198. serr8d says:

    Then you’re well-grounded, JD. A good thing. But never having read Dune or Ringworld or A Fall of Moondust would, to me, be a sad thing to have missed.

  199. Ernst Schreiber says:

    The great mystery celebrated in our civic religion is that Anyone can be elected president of the United States. And we’ve proven that twice in the last eighteen years. So why not Sarah Palin?

  200. serr8d says:

    “I’m not asking any of you to make drastic changes to every single one of your recipes or to totally change the way you do business,” she said. “But what I am asking is that you consider reformulating your menu in pragmatic and incremental ways to create healthier versions of the foods that we all love. That could mean substituting wheat pasta for white pasta in your regular recipes, or taking … an existing dish and cutting the amount of butter or cream.”

    There ya go, ‘feets. I’ll bet M’Chelle disapproves of mooseketeer burgers too.

  201. Ernst Schreiber says:

    And there’s nothing escapist about Dune That’s allegory.

  202. JD says:

    I read Dune, because it seemed like a book to be read.

    Jabba the Rex’s team was Teh Suck tonight. In all fairness, those are 2 excellent defenses.

  203. Ernst Schreiber says:

    When Sarah Palin is President, the first dude can tell all the restaurants to cut the carbs.

  204. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    Stephen King.

    That hit & run fucked him up good.

    I got into all the “Ka-Tet” and “Path of the Beam” books once upon a time…which was pretty much all of them after his accident (Gunslinger series aside). In some ways I liked how he tied all of them back to The Stand but he couldn’t ever manage anything approaching a unifying theory. A fantastic stand alone in that universe was one he wrote with Straub, Black House.

    A screaming progressive to be sure. But the man wrote some good shit back in the day.

  205. happyfeet says:

    Gunslinger was gack I kept picking them up in airports and not finishing them

  206. LBascom says:

    I like Sarah. I think she’s smart, principled, and is doing very good work for the Tea Party and America.

    Happyfeets dishonorable efforts to characterize her as something she isn’t sway my opinion of her not in the least.

    Makes me think less of happyfeet though.

  207. happyfeet says:

    Sarah Palin is not the Tea Party is not Sarah Palin. The Tea Party never campaigned for 6 more years of Meghan’s coward daddy in our Senate. Never ever.

  208. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    Yeah…I’d have to agree hf. In fairness he mailed half that shit in from a hospital bed. That said; hard to argue with a good chunk of this.

    Not all of it mind you. Just a good chunk of it.

  209. happyfeet says:

    Salem’s Lot was really really nice. That and It are keepers for sure.

  210. LBascom says:

    I didn’t say Palin was the Tea Party. I said she is doing good work for the Tea Party.

    Try and keep up.

  211. happyfeet says:

    it’s just important not to get them mixed up cause the Tea Party is a grassroots movement of real Americans whereas Sarah Palin is a career politician cum celebrity spokesmodel cum presumptive presidential candidate

  212. newrouter says:

    Sarah Palin is not the Tea Party is not Sarah Palin

    sarah palin private citizen. no gov’t stuff no none private citizen make her own money. cupcakehead.

  213. LBascom says:

    Is she now?

    Interesting set of facts you made up there.

  214. newrouter says:

    Sarah Palin is a career politician cum celebrity spokesmodel cum presumptive presidential candidate

    yea career like castle in de with the geezers 40 yrs lol. but you fanboys of the gop do the castle fan dance. go team!

  215. george smiley says:

    Read the Stephen Msnsfield bio on her, and you’ll have a better perspective, she’s been fighting the establishments since she went on the PTA in ’91, then the cit y council, mayor, the party boss on the oil commission, to Governor. If anyone is the quintessential tea party candidate, it is her.

  216. LBascom says:

    A career politician that does a little commercial fishing on the side.

    Ahh, would that all career politicians run a business on the side.

  217. happyfeet says:

    I had a salmon Smart One for lunch today it was very tasty I wonder if Sarah caught it

  218. newrouter says:

    A career politician that does a little commercial fishing on the side.

    the palin ain’t employed by the gov’t at this moment. the castle 40 years and voted for bush impeachment( yea well its easy to vote no on the stupid)

  219. newrouter says:

    I wonder if Sarah caught it

    yes here

    Our banner must recognize the responsibility of government to protect the law-abiding, holding those who commit misdeeds personally accountable.

    And we must make it plain to international adventurers that our love of peace stops short of “peace at any price.”

    We will maintain whatever level of strength is necessary to preserve our free way of life.

    A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.

    I do not believe I have proposed anything that is contrary to what has been considered Republican principle. It is at the same time the very basis of conservatism. It is time to reassert that principle and raise it to full view. And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way.

    oh. She looks so proud.

  223. LTC John says:

    #211 – try all you like, he is too fixed in his insults and hatred. Sad downward spiral – as was pointed out earlier – thor and nishi good folks, Mrs P. = Antichrist. Speaks volumes to me…

  224. happyfeet says:

    no Mr. LTC she does not rise to the level of antichrist she does look set to do her part to ensure four more years for him though

  225. serr8d says:

    I stopped reading King before the end of the Dark Tower – Gunslinger mess. But the ka-tet concept is cool, and Blaine the Mad Train might have ridden right out of one of Neal Stephenson’s novels. I hope Ron Howard can tie all of that together.

    sanfrannan looks at a fish, and it guts itself.

  231. happyfeet says:

    Our little country is already all but a memory I think Mr. serr8d, and Sarah Palin’s seriousness level doesn’t reflect an understanding of this I don’t think.

    At best in November we re-elect the same failed McConnell/Boehnerfag leadership of the past.

    That’s not nearly good enough set against our little country’s dire need.

  232. serr8d says:

    sanfrannan gets wet, she melts.

  233. serr8d says:

    Who said, ‘feets, that we don’t ever die in the same country we were born in? If that’s not a famous quote, then it should be. Nothing stays as it was. Would be nice, but as we’ve seen from history, we don’t have static times, but changing times.

  234. happyfeet says:

    yes. We are become fail.

    Me I didn’t sign up for that.

    and had that smug smile that you’d like to smack!
    david crosby- of crosby/stills/sperm and dirt fame- the one with the nasty disgusting mustache that looked like it had dried dumpster juice on it-the david crosby that everytime pbs has a beat off retrospective on
    the music of the sixties and u just wanna see some rockstars playing
    and they’d cut to david crosby-hippie expert- for his take
    yeah-that asshole
    i wont even get into how he skipped the ‘i need a new liver’ line
    cuz im a beautiful rich hippie or his unholy alliance with melissa ethridge or the vh1 special where he was re-united with his kid
    after 30 years and they played music together and david crosby-yup-that asshole- said ” i regret not seeing my son for 30 years”
    hell- i’d beat him just for wearing a cape.

  236. george smiley says:

    That sounds like update Heraclitus or possibly Tom Wolfe, of “You Can’t Go Home Again” fame. Turn in your ten gallon if you really think that

  237. newrouter says:

    Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?

    Let us show that we stand for fiscal integrity and sound money and above all for an end to deficit spending, with ultimate retirement of the national debt.

    Let us also include a permanent limit on the percentage of the people’s earnings government can take without their consent.

  238. David R. Block says:

    98. ‘feets:

    Mr. Block I don’t think Sarah has even been to Louisiana since the oils spill. I have definitely googled and I don’t see where she’s made much effort to protest the moratorium at all, but she should be leading on this issue… it used to be her #1 issue until the accident with the leakings.

    DUDE!!! I’m actually surprised that you give a damn. On the one hand, you berate her and cry “fraud” if she’s not really running for President. Which I completely don’t get, seeing as how many R candidates have made trips to Iowa, but not Louisiana-and you don’t say a thing about them. But then you seem to demand that she make a semi-Presidential pilgrimage to Louisiana?? Why the special standard for her? Discriminate much???

    WTF????????????????????????????

  239. happyfeet says:

    I’m just saying I’m not going to pretend for you that Sarah Palin is the answer to any of this cause I don’t see it.

    We need people what can transcend the fail.

    And so far we show precious little appetite for such people.

  240. happyfeet says:

    Mr. Block hoochie needs to buck up or stay in the truck. Our oil drilling amigos need someone more than just Mr. Bobby to stand up for them.

    Team R has abandoned them when they needed Team R the most, and drill baby drill has abandoned them most cruelly of all. Cause they thought she believed in them.

    They were wrong.

  241. newrouter says:

    We need people what can transcend the fail.

    baracky 2012

  242. newrouter says:

    drill baby drill has abandoned them most cruelly of all

    the dem gov. wants to tax us in pa to drill the marcellus. fuck all you idiots

  243. serr8d says:

    I suggest partaking of some stoicism, ‘feets. Just for the calming effect, if nothing else.

    “If, therefore, any be unhappy, let him remember that he is unhappy by reason of himself alone.”

  244. happyfeet says:

    I can be stoic when I’m dead

  245. george smiley says:

    Judge Feldman has been holding the line, against the moratorium yet the fool Salazar, keeps denying permits, again this is something she warned against two years ago, Because of her own experience with corporate malfeasance, she wouldn’t have let this disaster happen in the first place

  248. RyanBacon says:

    im with happyfeets on this one. sarah palin is an unserious candidate. shes a celebrity not a serious politician. she can’t even finish one term as a governor so how can we expect her to go the distance for 4 or even 8 years? shes not really a leader

  249. happyfeet says:

    Hammered.

    You’re both idiots. How long was she supposed to defend herself against bogus ethics complaint after bogus ethics complaint? Every time you Democrat twerps filed another ridiculous and meritless complaint, the State of Alaska was compelled by law to investigate, at taxpayers’ expense – and Gov. Palin was compelled to defend herself, on her own dime. After racking up $500,000 in legal bills, a legal defense fund was set up for her, and you assholes filed yet another ethics complaint, claiming that donations to the defense fund amounted to “illegal contributions”. If she and her family were to survive financially, she had little choice but to resign from office.

    You fuckwits drove her from office and now have the temerity to call her a “quitter”???

  256. DarthRove says:

    Looks like Willie’s padawan had his first beer last night.

  257. SDN says:

    Ah, no, Ryan, the Alaska law mandates exactly that result. I’m just sorry that conservatives haven’t employed that technique in the other direction. Make these clowns suffer the results of their own damn rules.

  258. george smiley says:

    The context is important, a major contractor, William Allen, had nearly bought up the state, a whole passel of state representatives were under indictment, Murkowski’s sweat heart deal on the pipeline and the failure of his tax scheme had enraged the people. She had burned the bridge years before with Ruedrich the party chief. So she had to work with Democrats mostly, and they crafted a very open and transparent ethics code. One can say she was naive, in thinking that they would never try to go after an honest woman

  259. LTC John says:

    Well, at least hf can have the moby on side now! Leadership!

  264. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    there’s not a single argument I’ve made against the Sarah Palin…

    The first true thing you have said in regards to Palin. I think the land of fruits and honey and empty platitudes has infected you happyfeet. Bush was overly gracious? WTF does that even mean. Working with dead man walking to entrench the fed government into education much, much deeper was a staunchly conservative thing? His whole ownership society bullshit, thus enabling the assorted class warfare cockroaches mountains of class envy cover was a staunchly conservative thing?

    No Mr. Pablo I am not “bugfuck nuts.” People what think this dismally inadequate-to-the-task hoochie is suitable for the presidency are possibly a bit tetched, but I think it would be ungracious if not positively ill-mannered to say so.

    Show of hands…who here wants her to be president? Fuck, dude. You’re all “feelings” with this one. Again, decidedly not staunch.

  265. happyfeet says:

    she’s just a tawdry political blow-up doll I think

    a used one at that

    What is your problem, you little asshole?

  267. Mark A. Flacy says:

    (That was for happyfeet@268)

  268. happyfeet says:

    I think the Sarah Palin is mostly just a sad opportunistic parasite what has moved into and is a lot lucratively exploiting the niche created by the indisputably feckless Michael Steel McConnell Boehnerfag Meghan’s coward daddy leadership under what Team R is laboring.

    No one can doubt what you say, my sweet pork-bellied Master. But certainly one such as yourself – Yea, who knows the meaning of work so well without even needing to do it – must surely also admit that it nevertheless remains both intolerably Unfair and necessarily raaacist that he who hath proclaimed himself “partners with God in matters of life and death” – and who, before him, a certain Mrs.Tundratrash Palin pales unto Cave Dwelling Albinism – must still remain forced by scant Teabaggers to “take a break from his vacation” in order to party for a few days!!

    So hear me O’ Real Men and all like-mindlessnessed Workers of the World whose sexual identities are also in doubt without this solution: it is only through supporting and re-electing This Ideal Working Man that Social Justice can be continued!
