Sarah Palin: Fooling None Of The People All Of The Time

Last fall it seemed as if Sarah Palin would light a fuse and cause a social explosion. Behind her beauty-pageant smile lurked the shadow, the dark side of human nature. Her tactic of appealing to the worst impulses of the electorate had a long history in the Republican Party. Indeed, Palin inherited the selfish, mean-spirited values of another politician with a gleaming smile, Ronald Reagan.

When it first dawned in American politics, the shadow was shocking. Values were turned upside down. The AIDS crisis? Ignore it. They deserve what they got. The deficit? Doesn't matter as long as the rich get what they want. Huge unemployment and falling incomes among the working class? Feed them crank social issues so they have someone to hate. Palin breathes this noxious atmosphere like the clear air of Alaska and thrives on it.

Now, however, Palin brings a smile. When she quit her job as governor, it was obvious that someone had whispered in her ear, "You're fading. Soon you'll be a nobody. Grab the money while you can." And so she did, earning a hefty advance, much of which, fittingly, goes to paying off lawsuits related to her ethical violations while in office. The shadow that seemed so dangerous a year ago has been defanged, reduced to spiteful backbiting against the McCain campaign, the very people who gave Palin her spot in the limelight to begin with.

I hope the left will take a deep breath and stop treating Palin like a diabolical force. The American character has always had a large dose of orneriness in it, and the more ornery you were, the farther west you moved. Alaska has a reputation for being an icebox for malcontents. Palin came straight from the source, and countless Americans root for her. In hard times, being the bellyacher-in-chief is a valid role. Hence the rise of Glenn Beck.

But nobody is being fooled. A recent Gallup poll showed that 67% of responders don't want Palin to run for president. Fear of Palin is ill-advised on two counts. First, fear is what the shadow wants. Without it, the shadow has no power. Second, the left needs to learn how to win graciously. The current upheaval in American society, which has been an enormous threat on many fronts, called forth a president and a constituency that knows how to handle crisis. The voices of sanity are prevailing. The solutions that have emerged on all fronts -- economic, social, and international -- represent the best in the American character.

But you can't expect everyone to join the party. As long as we know that Palin is fooling nobody all of the time, the darker side can be tolerated. The shadow is always with us. Today it's on a book tour.

The Dems are in a panic over Palin. She represents everything the Loonys fear; self-reliance, accepting

responsibility for your own actions, love of God and country and lower taxes. As Obama's numbers keep

falling, Palin's keeps rising, so all the Loonys can hope to do now is try to discredit her.

There is a huge Dem backlash building in the U.S. as witnessed by the Tea Party Tour turnouts, 800,000 copies

of Palin's book sold in the first week and the favorability ratings of congress at 22% and Obama's at 47%.

The Obama administration is on a fast track to failure with Pelosi and Reid showing the way. I'll be sure to

remind "Manscum" every time Obama's numbers drop and after the 2010 elections I'll also enumerate all

the seats the Loonys have lost in Congress. Between the Cap & Tax, Healthcare, Stimulus, Bailouts and other Obama fiascos, Obama is assuring himself of a one-term disaster.

I can't wait till the voters kick his ass back to Chicago so he can once again become a low-level community

organizer with his ACORN friends.

Got hate, deadender?

[Guest Guest]

How can anyone who really cares about this country seriously promote Sarah Palin for President? She's having a public fight with a 19-year-old kid, which is completely unprofessional. She had a big fight with her former brother-in-law, which caused her to be brought up on ethics charges - and she was reprimanded by the deciding body, including members of her own party. If someone else's teenage daughter got knocked up by a hockey-player boyfriend, she'd be all over it; instead, she parades the girl out in public and then complains that other people comment on it. She embarrassed herself in the 2008 campaign and now is having a big public fight with people in the McCain campaign, who are calling her a liar. She acts more like trailer trash than a presidential candidate. Dozens of top Republicans are saying she would be a disaster for the GOP if she was nominated. She didn't even finish her job as governor - she quit the freaking job after a year and a half! And you want to elect her to the most important job in the world. Well, ain't you smart!

Go ahead, nominate Palin and put Beck on as VP. Millions of people watch Glen Beck but not a majority. Most of us realize he's crazy and paranoid. Palin would get creamed, and the Republican party along with her.

Sarah Palin's story is proof of how completely unglued the Republican party and especially the people on its far-right has become. They may be a big part of the Republican party but they are far out of step with America.

(Psst, 2smart, look under the bed!)

DEMOCRATS FOR PALIN-BECK 2012!

In other words, you can't refute what I've said.

[Guest Dwayne C]

Most of what you've said is opinion so of course. It probably is in fact your opinion. Your few facts can in fact be refuted. You are inflating Palin's book sales. Even Fox News puts it at 700,000, well below Clinton's.

Still impressive without your lying, but whether it shows that the public is rejecting the Democrats remains to be seen.

Read post #4 tumor4u!! My rebuttal abounds in America like the Autumn leaves.

Got denial, deadender?

A lot of words with no substance, that's your rebuttal? Poor.

[Guest Keith]

Shit 2 smart,

You are probably more qualified to be president than Sarah Palin. I would vote for you before I would vote for Palin. Then again I would probably write in GW Bush before I would vote for you. Happy Thanksgiving.

[Guest Guest]

In other words, you can't refute what I've said.

Are you freaking kidding me?! This idiot is complaining about someone not refuting what he says?

He never says anything! He just makes stupid remarks that bear no relation to reality.

Palin definitely represents our worst fears. She's a freaking idiot who doesn't have a clue about how to run a country. She couldn't even finish one term as Governor of Alaska. Give me a freaking break with this trailer-trash nitwit!

We'll be sure to remind you as upcoming events unfold, President Giuliani. Not that the facts ever matter to you.

And of course you're qualified to judge Palin's governing abilities. Make me laugh.

The real question is what makes her qualified to judge anything?

I keep asking that same question about Obama. Palin was an elected mayor and an elected governor.

Obama was a ...........give me a minute..............a low level community organizer. But on the positive side,

he has a nice smile and reads really well from a teleprompter.

Oh, one more thing........he's black.

That's right, he's black. Choke on it you F**KING piece of shit! Obama's black and Palin's a c**t!

[Guest Guest]

That's right, he's black. Choke on it you F**KING piece of shit! Obama's black and Palin's a c**t!

Actually he's not black, he's a mutt.

[Guest Loki]

That's right, he's black. Choke on it you F**KING piece of shit! Obama's black and Palin's a c**t!

All that anger is going to eat you up someday.

[Guest Piper]

That's right, he's black. Choke on it you F**KING piece of shit! Obama's black and Palin's a c**t!

What an ANGRY little child........ But thank you for demonstrating once again that profanity is the last resort of the pathetic.

[Guest Keith]

All that anger is going to eat you up someday.

Nah, I'm not angry. I just like to counter 2smarts offensive ramblings with a few of my own.

[Guest Guest]

I don't think you could counter a 5th grader.

Dear Stupid,

Just as a reminder, Barack Obama has been elected a United States Senator and President of the United States - you know, the job all the Republicans want but can't have. As the first African-American president in history, he is an historic figure. Within his first year in office, he has saved the country and the world from a complete economic collapse, restored American standing in the world, won the Nobel Peace Prize and begun the hard work necessary to restore our infrastructure to pave the way for long-term and sustainable prosperity.

Palin quit both her jobs and is now writing books for people like you who are stupid enough to buy them.

Umm, no, that was the American taxpayers. That was you and I, we're paying the bill!

"You betcha" Sarah gets a nice $$$ from her book buying lemmings who want to buy that photograph they take of them and her during the pen scratch.......buy it off her website like they do "swimming with the dolphins" down in the Caribbean!

False, shallow and the best face the GOP has got for itself amongst their trainwreck.........Bimpy Boop Sarah You Betcha!

Look for her to be doing soft porn before the wrinkles deepen, as the lord is her savior!
