The responses have been typical. Even if they are as yet only latent.
Bill Maher: “That’s because you have a retard kid.”
Alec Baldwin: “A retard kid who’ll probably grow up and take it in the ass like a queen because he’s too retarded to know that normal guys don’t let queens put it in their asses.”
Andrew Sullivan: “You can call the new party the “not really your waterhead baby, but rather your slut daughter’s retard baby” party, and your party symbol can be a cancer-ridden uterus being eaten by that Corky kid from the TV.”
Paula Dean: “Don’t ask me. I once said a bad word before I heard Quentin Tarantino use it like machine-gun ammo. So I’m not allowed to speak any more. Though I’m happy to send some delicious corn bread if that will help prevent another of these half-Cracker Presidents.”
Bushies / “realists”: “Oh good Lord. Won’t this woman just go away and let us lose elections on our own, our way?”
protein wisdom: “Shut up, happyfeet.”
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she’s willing to start a new political party to create a home for conservatives who feel they’re being ignored by the GOP.
The one-time vice presidential nominee was answering Twitter questions on Fox News Saturday, when a user asked if she and Fox conservative commentator Mark Levin would be willing to build a “Freedom Party if [the] GOP continues to ignore conservatives.”
Palin replied, “I love the name of that party: the Freedom Party,” she replied. “And if the GOP continues to back away from the planks in our platform, from the principles that built this party of Lincoln and Reagan, then yeah.”
Many conservatives with “that libertarian streak” feel neglected, said Palin, and creating a new home for them might be a good idea. She said she expects people to start asking what is wrong with being independent. “I think there will be a lot of us who start saying, ‘GOP, if you abandon us, we have nowhere else to go except to become more independent and not enlisted in one or the other private majority parties that rule in our nation, either a Democrat or a Republican,'” Palin said. David Axelrod, a former senior adviser for President Barack Obama, mocked Palin’s words Monday, reports The Washington Times. “With Palin threatening to bolt [the] party, I bet a bunch of [Republicans] are humming that old Dan Hicks tune: ‘How Can I Miss You When You Won’t Go Away?'” Axelrod tweeted.
— This coming from a man whose mustache hangs over the nation like a bushy storm cloud of hate, deceit, and illiberality, a man whose soul is so grubby that when he dies, worms would just as soon starve to death than eat off his bloated, spackle-caked carcass.
Also — and worth pointing out — it’s funny how hard left, quasi-Marxist liberal fascists like Axelrod seem to share the same feelings for Palin as the establishment GOP.
There’s a lesson in that, and despite the protests of some — her populism grates, we’re told, and she lacks the nuance and gravitas of, say, a Jeb Bush, whose connection with the very fertile Latina voting bloc is undeniable, just as is the pain he feels for the various Asians conservatives have alienated by…being critical of Congressional math? Liking old Jerry Lewis movies? I admit I’m still stumped on that one — the lesson is not that Palin is a joke, but rather that she remains a threat to the power elite, and party affiliation makes no difference when the object is to take out a common enemy and embrace the federal lucre that comes with a move away from individual sovereignty and toward federal statism.
Palin speaks in many ways for the TEA Party; and it is no accident that establishment Republicans are working hard to co-opt the word conservative, then move conservatism as they define it to the center (center-rightism, Jeb called it, though it’s had many names, from Rockefeller Republicanism to compassionate conservatism), thus pushing the TEA Party conservatives — constitutionalists, legal conservatives, classical liberals — to the fringes.
This is the strategy. It’s part of the GOP’s “rebranding.” And there have been plenty of so-called conservatives who have long been complicit in this who today decry the GOP’s “realist” strategy on raising taxes on the wealthy, comprehensive immigration reform, and failure to use the House as an instrument to defund ObamaCare.
Which I personally find ironic. And sad.
And I love that deep inside they know it.
As for a party name? I’m still partial to the Outlaw party, because to believe in the Constitution these days marks you as a freak, a Hobbit, a Visigoth, a “True Believer,” a “purist” — and these are the very types that a GOP looking to be “for the 100%” can do without.
Hence, outlaws.
But then, I’m biased, having made this same kind of pitch way back in early March, 2009, or even earlier, November 2008, not long before I found myself cut off by those looking to turn their blogging into more mainstream positions within the GOP opinion matrix. So sue me.
Hewitt denunciation in 3… 2… 1…
Palin has a nasty habit of busting up the little games of footsie that the GOP gets into with powerful entities.
Wench.
comprehensive immigration reform
I think you misspelled “amnesty”. Other than that, I totally agree and I’d go one farther – I can’t wait until the United States becomes the not-so-United States and I don’t have to call these a**holes my countrymen any longer.
A quick note of clarification: the PW response should more properly be “Just fuck off already, you miserable yellow rodent.”
Sarah Palin has poo poo in her butt I think
So, what should she have in there?

The odds of that are miniscule. Appearances matter, substance doesn’t.

Question for you, ‘feets: When does human life begin?
most days human life begins when you get home from work Mr. W but for example this week we have a 4-day weekend so me personally I’ll probably be front-loading chores such as laundry and stuff into the evenings of the first part of this week for to make sure I get to enjoy the whole 4-day thing

Short, cogent, and to the point but posted in the wrong tab.
Outlaw Party is best, but only if Jeff gets to write the charter.

I don’t really have a name preference, except that the words “democrat” and “republican” not be included.
Also, no “hope,” “change,” “reform,” “progress” or other such imagine-what-it-means-to-you-and-we’ll-pretend-that’s-what-it-means-to-us hokum.
If you can’t answer the question, ‘feets, where do you get the God-damned gall to criticize ANYBODY for their pro-life views? Where do you get the God-damned gall to pollute a discussion about a political leader with sub-Beavis-and-Butthead asininities?
Keep your deathydoodle fingers off the keyboard until you can stop acting like a poo-flinging rodent.
W, it’s the same authority that many atheists take for themselves. Having no faith of their own, they have no standing to bash the faith of others.
Thus, happyfeet states that he “wants one” (a baby), as if it were like getting a goldfish and not realizing that the baby is a tiny person who needs guidance and protection for two decades.
I’m trying to figure out how “open to the idea” is somehow translated by the left as “starting it today.” She’s making noises, probably to encourage the establishment Republicans (who of course don’t exist because they told us they don’t) to wise up.
Not that they will, of course. They have to maintain a hold on the power so when it’s their turn they can get their programs in place.
Forward!
Palin’s Third-Party Solution is Part of The Problem
I’d vote for her in a heart beat. Simple as that.
i went to the petco today Mr. W and got a betta his name is enrique boo and he is very handsome and he lives in a decaf coffee pot
i think it’s weird that the reason this Sarah Palin gives for a third party is that Team R isn’t showing enough fealty to its platform as if the Team R platform were some kind of extraordinarily admirable document or something
i thought it was understood that the platform was just a bunch of panderings not to be taken literally
I did vote for her BT. Only way I could pull the lever for her running mate.
I voted for her too (and that old guy she was running with, unfortunately). Every passing day I think more and more I was right.
Well, you would know all about pandering, electric hamster.
You were Cranky. I hope we get the opportunity to try again.
Happy? Why not just come out of the closet? I don’t care about the gay thing, but you’re a liberal at heart
i am the staunchest one Mr. Blitz freedom is my favorite
I think people should be extremely free
severely extremely free
that is my view
But the odd things is, feets, even though Mr. Goldstein has repeatedly and incisively shown how Sarah Palin is the one politician who believes in people being free, even extremely free, you don’t like her.
Well Happy, and you know I actually like you btw, Why do you pound on Palin constantly? She is the staunchest of the staunch. You’re very inconsistent in your staunchiness.
Yup, you’re a closet lib.
inconsistAnt….sorry. I screw up.
Chant it with me people….PREVIEW PREVIEW….
Rand Paul Defends Principle of Immigration Amnesty: “Do They Want us to Put Them in Concentration Camps?”
randbo why don’t you secure the borders and enforce the law. alot of them will eventually leave.
Suggested names:
The What Part of “Congress Shall Make No Law” Did You Not Understand Party
The Limited Government With Enumerated Powers Party
The Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness Party
The What Is It About the Word “Free” that Freaks Out Statists and Progressives Party
I know these would never be used, but the thought of having all the talking heads and pundits have to repeat these words over and over would be worth the otherwise unwieldy nature of these party names.
Why do you pound on Palin constantly? She is the staunchest of the staunch.
Because she’s tacky, and ‘feets’s fancy friends mock anyone who thinks she’s OK.
‘feets can’t stand up to the mockery of the fancy people.
It would be interesting if they treated immigration violations the same as they treat drug law violations with the drug forfeiture laws.
Not that i am in favor of drug forfeiture laws, but it would raise the stakes of the game.
One more suggestion for a party name:
1999
But in all seriousness, the Patriot Party would allow all the bien pensants to sneer just so every time it is used.
nr, no, they won’t. I can say that with authority because I live in a high illegal area. Many friends, good customers and not a few family are amongst them. I wish it were different and I am not an amnesty supporter, but they’re not going anywhere no matter what.
Cali will do that to you Di. I just remember a time that feets was less liberal is all. Wish we could cure him, but liberalism is a mental disease.

You have poo poo in the soul socket of your skull I think.
nr? I wish. Both baby daddys have been arrestd for domestic violence,dui(numerous times) and a variety of other crimes. No deportation.
The laws are NOT being followed. And never will be as far as I can see, so that’s a pipe dream.
blitz, well, what’s worse, is we all know the internet is forever, which means I’ll never be able to lie and say it never happened.
“The laws are NOT being followed”
how about – rule of law party?
Blake, never saw it, wouldn’t believe it if I did, so it never happened
nr? How about the long range rifle with a crosshair on YOU you asshole media party? They are the ones controlling political opinion right now.

Glad you liked that Leigh. Thing is? I’m doing it on my facebook page. Most of my friends there are the young’uns that were and are still friends of my daughters. It works in a sense, but on the other hand, I have no idea how far it’s spreading, because Facebook? meh, don’t go there often.

Hey, you have a shop and lots of tools and ingenuity. Score some survival rations and you’re good.
I’m trying to convince Hubs to teach me to use the reloaders. He’s a wizard with all that stuff and I’m a fast learner who is too lazy to read all the manuals without a lab to practice in.
Leigh, reloaders are a common sense thingy. Just look at it and figure it out!! Well, that’s what I did. Manuals are Chinese written in cryptic russkie.
Disclaimer. All I reload is .257 Roberts, so…
Mr. Blitz I have never deviated from my feeling that this Sarah Palin is mostly just the mirror-image of food stamp – an opportunistic political figure grounded far more in charisma/marketing than ability/substance.
And like smarmy smarmy rubio el cubano mas authentico she is more pander than principle I think.
That is my assessment.
Oh wait…Now I know what you’re talking about. Sorry, I’m limited in that area and I do a hand press reload system. I’ll shutup now.
so do a duel with her at 40 paces
I’m sorry you feel that way Happy. You’re completely and utterly wrong. Look into her entire political career, and you’ll find a woman ( Or is THAT what you don’t like? ) that IS on the side of the folks, not the state.
You’ll have to do better than that my friend.
The whole part about how Palin actually cleared out the GOP deadwood in her state and directly promoted a strong economy can be cheerfully ignored.
Isn’t there another web site you’d be happier hanging around? I know I’d be happier if you did.
Cranky, he’s been banned from a couple, and Jeff doesn’t really ban too much, so I like being able to keep an eye on folks like him. Know where the fight is, know where it’s going if you know what I mean.
Also, the part about how she won the gubernatorial nomination in 2006 against the second most powerful Republican in Alaska (after Ted Stevens), and then went on in November that year to defeat the most popular Democrat in Alaska? Utterly irrelevant.
because the proggstard sued her out of office.
– Palin represents the modern image of the “full hipped, survival-wise” true earth mother. The very epitome of birth and life sustenance, and the most glaring mirror possible to show in stark detail the “simpering selfish, me-first and the hell with everything else, including those bastard inconvieniences, babies, tiny defenseless human beings that have no rights because I want to be free of my careless irresponsibilities no matter what”, bitches. So of course he H8tes her. No surprise. Her existance crumps his mellow.
– Fuck you yellow splodeyRat. Too bad your mother made the wrong “choice” you love so much.
That’s a fair point, Blitz. I’m living up to my handle today I guess.
…to roaring applause from the Murkowskyites.
To be clear, Happy is NOT a troll. Nor is he a concern troll or just out to aggravate. I believe he really does think he’s the staunchiest of the staunch conservatives.
Thing is? he isn’t.
Palin is a “breeder” (like that’s a bad thing). I guess that’s why the Uptight-Upright One Child Only crowd can’t stand her. She has five of the little Gaia killers and she’s still slim.
Wotta bitch!
Murkowsky is thin, brittle, upper-crust type who thinks only “her kind” should be running things for the little people.
Palin is like Kryptonite to her.
– She scares the living crap out of the Left, so much so that closet Progturds like feets simply cannot “Not” react vehemently against the most common sense, obvious example of everything thats wrong with the “me” generations.
Really!! I mean the NERVE of that beeotch to actuall care about a special needs child who should never have been born and in fact was actually Willows.
Ok, I have a front main seal first thing in the am, so I’m gone for tonight. Take care all, thanks for engaging with me.
Murkowsky is a crooked bitch, just like her old man. Say, whatever happened with all of those rumors about cocaine use/dealing?
Nite, Blitz.
– Just hang “Palin 2016” signs all over PW and feets will cower in his closet. Works like wolfbane on Progtards.
And can you just believe the unmitigated gall of those who dared to criticize when her daddums gave her that Senate seat in 2002 like a new car for her 16th birthday.

If you think the first tier useful idiots are a joke, wait til you get a load of the next wave of “appearences are the only thing”. From the book “unclear on the concept”. The microphone standing in a roll of toilet paper. WTF?
– If this is an example of the opposition going forward, Palin’s potential move to a new thrird party looks not only good but inevitable.
O/T, just got off the phone with a “Yay Brack Obama” pollster. I got a chance to say “A pox on both their houses” and tell her the GOP and the Dems are just two sides of the same statist coin.
The gal was very pleasant and even told me she’d put me down as a “classical liberal.”
I also got the chance to tell her I wouldn’t answer the stupid push question she asked. I laughed when she asked if I thought Brak’s Healthcare law had improved things and brought costs down.
I even managed to tell her that we’re not fascists or communists and the stuff she was talking about is not the business of the state. (She asked about a national manufacturing plan and government working to sell goods over seas)
I have to admit, it was nice to tell a pollster just how much both parties sucked.
BBH, she also had the wrong background (old one from her campaign for Sec State), no AC (sweaty reporters are ungood) and was exactly swift of thought.
Ashley Judd looks like a genius compared to her.

I enjoyed being able to pull the lever for Palin. Sadly, the dickless asshole on the ticket with her kind of diminished my joy. Someone -a liberal- said in a horrified tone that McCain might die of old age and we’d be stuck with President Palin. He seemed even more horrified when I said that that was a feature to me, not a bug.
Palin’s problem is one of image, not substance. She went to state schools and even-gasp-community college; she had five kids, the damned breeder, and didn’t abort the one with Down’s syndrome; and she speaks with that Alaskan/Minnesota-type twang. Being a self-made, successful politician with a history of a) taking on and defeating the establishment and b) rooting out party corruption are not considered abilities worthy of recognition. To be fair, the GOP probably considers both a) and b) to be negatives.

Aw, crap. My html-fu failed. Try again:
Mr. Blitz I have never deviated from my feeling that this Sarah Palin is mostly just the mirror-image of food stamp.
If we confine personal appeal to a certain cult of personality that both the Wan and Palin possess, then yes, happy might have a point. He might have a point if Palin hadn’t actually stated tangible goals and defensible positions for those goals. If she was all “Hope!” “Change!” “Yes we can!” along with hidden grades and mysterious campaign angels and ghostwriters, then I say they were exactly the same. Instead, she’s disclosed or had disclosed her grades (at State schools!!), her snowbilly ways of salmon fishing and birthin’ babies. And mostly and absolutely the worst, her Christian faith.
Other than that, why they are exactly the same.
If that’s your opinion, fine. If you’re stating them as facts, my opinion is that you’ve just scored a wrong hat trick.
His common thread is pure misdirection.
