Palin Is Being Groomed For 2012

[Prophet 451]

There's a lot to dislike about Sarah Palin. Her "small-town values", her woeful enviromental record, her stance on abortion is neanderthal and that rape kit story is just plain evil but here's another reason: You're going to be seeing her again.

John McCain is not a threat to Obama and increasingly, it seems he realises that. The lousy campaigning, the gaffe a day talking points, the atrocious speaking style, John McCain has given up. He knows that he can't honestly win this election and while his masters are still going to try, they're starting to believe that too and setting their sights on 2012.

There are already reports that Palin has become the star of the Republican ticket. She's realtively young, vaguely good-looking and by 2012, her inexperiance will be gone. What you're left with is a vaguely personable religious fanatic with extreme-right-fringe views, just like Bush.

1. The end of the world as we know it..... I pray the White House stays in Dem hands for at least 40

years..

[calimary]

27. Well, hell, doesn't the Mayan calendar say the world is going to end in 2012?

Miss Piggy may just be the facilitator.

[Prophet 451]

29. Yes it does

December 21st (or possibly 24th, translation isn't an exact science).

[mrfrapp]

33. No it doesn't

The Mayan's calendar reaches the end of its current cycle in 2012. It does not mean the world is going to end.

2. After 4 years of Obama, I doubt she'll be attractive to the masses

[Prophet 451]

8. Maybe, maybe not

After all, Chimpy campaigned as a varguely centreist, bipartisan reformer (notice that everyone campaigns as a reformer these days?) when his record said exactly the opposite. If 2012 doesn't work out, 2016 is going to be another wide open election since Joe Biden will be (I think) 77 by then.

[graywarrior]

13. Anything could happen in 4 years.

Palin could be gone and long forgotten by then.

[EV_Ares]

14. I agree, it appears she is becoming less attractive daily the more people

find out about her. Her numbers are going down, people are nervouse about her right-wing neo-con views. I even think when Barack wins this thing and she has to go back home, she is not going to win any popularity contests there as well.

Sure, she will keep the same base that still believes in Bush, what is that around 19/20%.

[graywarrior]

15. She'll end up on Fox where all republican losers go to die.

[EV_Ares]

18. There you go, hope her and the rovian snake do well together under their rock, eom..

[Indenturedebtor]

41. It depends on how well they manage to attribute the bush legacy to Obama

You know they're going to try really really hard to pin his failures on Dems. They've already started with that shit.

It's not what happens it's how people percieve it to have happened.

[graywarrior]

42. I'm starting to see independents in my area roll their eyes with the blaming on dems

[Indenturedebtor]

43. I hope that continues. The point is that it's their entire IDEOLOGY that got us into this mess

Not one Senator or another. It's their entire take on what government is supposed to do and not do.

[Contrary1]

3. Exactly.

Which makes me wonder even more. How can anyone vote for this woman and support Hillary? I have seen McCain/Palin '08 along with Hillary 2012 on signs, posters, T shirts. :shrug:

[SammyWinstonJack]

4. Wouldn't doubt that.

:shrug: The difference between bush and her, she really is a religious fanatic while he just plays one for the masses.

[NNN0LHI]

5. The dumb fuck is too stupid to answer softball questions from reporters

She isn't being groomed for anything but a one-way ticket back to Alaska.

[Betty]

6. I don't see how her inexperience will be gone

in four years. If they don't win (and I pray they don't) then what will she be doing for the next four years? Shooting animals from planes and making her daughters keep all the babies they conceive... she'll be too busy to study up on anything else.

[orwell]

7. At this rate, she will not be reelected...

...Governor of Alaska...

[Prophet 451]

11. I think she will

The way I see it, the Republican PTB will pull a lot of strings and funnel a lot of cash into ensuring she stays in power in Alaska.

[Matariki]

12. No way. She's been revealed to be everything Alaskans thought the were voting against.

I'd bet money on her career ending (if the election isn't stolen).

[Blue_In_AK]

16. A lot of speculation here

on Sarah's future. Much depends on how "well" she does in this losing campaign. After her stonewalling here and the shut-down of our executive and judicial branches by the McCain goons, she may be in trouble as far as being re-elected governor, but she could possibly run in the Senate primary against Lisa Murkowski in 2010. This would be good because if she won, it would get her out of the state, and we could forget about her, much like we did Frank Murkowski when he was in DC for 20 years.

[Matariki]

9. I seriously doubt it. The party leaders know she's a liability.

I suppose it depends on how much influence the 'focus on the family' crowd maintains.

I still think she was an impulsive decision that Angry McCain made.

[EFerrari]

10. Who has some skill in media manipulation. Don't forget that.

She reminds me of a certain type of person who gets everything by manipulating. So, she's had a lot of practice in that area, anyway.

[Kalyke]

28. What is that a picture of?

I can't make out everyone since the photo is so small.

[GoneOffShore]

17. When McBush/Failin loses

She will sink faster than an ice floe in the South Pacific.

Although she's a reptile and appeals to the worst members of our celebrity obsessed "nation", her gaffes and poisonous rhetoric are going to cause her to be shipped back to Alaska, where she won't win another term. She's been exposed for what she is - vacuous, vicious and self obsessed. It will not stand her in good stead. When 2012 comes around she'll be no more ready than she is today.

[Poseidan]

19. ...

Groomed like a poodle, and just as dumb. I actually feel sorry for her. She seems like an innocent brainwashed by usurpers.

[Javaman]

20. if that's the case they will need A LOT more lipstick. nt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

21. Sarah Palin is a one trick pig.

Three months from now nobody will remember her.

[lonestarnot]

22. Good! Ms. Piggy will be a loser then too!

[jakefrep]

23. I've thought this all along....

The R's braintrust (if you can call it that) knows they're screwn this year. And are any of them truly enthralled with Romney or Huckabee as the leading candidates for 2012?

So they roll out Palin to the wild applause of the baying-hyena base in an attempt to conjure up their own counter-Obama.

[Swamp Rat]

24. oink!

:D

[juno jones]

25. LOL!

Swamp rat, you rock.

PS we missed you the last few weeks. Glad you're back.

[beac]

35. Hurrah for the return of SwampRat with a vengeance!! n/t

[Swamp Rat]

36. Brand new pic:

:hi:

[BrklynLiberal]

38. Perfect. You should be designing billboards.

[beac]

Yup-- You got back JUST IN TIME!

Love it!

:hi:

[beac]

40. Yup-- You got back JUST IN TIME!

Love it!

:hi:

[BrklynLiberal]

37. Welcome back...another classic work of art.

Thanks.

[ThePowerofWill]

26. Well the better get a better groomer.

The more she is seen the more she is seen to suck. She not that good looking, and the more shes seen the more it shows. Same with her grating voice. The longer she goes the more deceptive sh is perceived.

The only way this dog with lipstick looks good in any manner is by just a quick glance after the lights come on. The longer the look and the brighter the light the worse she looks.

[intheflow]

30. If the GOP doesn't steal this next election,

I sincerely doubt Palin will win another election in Alaska. From what I can tell, both Democrats and conservatives are not happy with flip-flopping Sarah "Hold me accountable/I refuse to cooperate with the Troopergate investigation" Palin. She got in this time because she wasn't Frank Murkowski, but I think more and more people are waking up to the fact that she might be worse than Murkowski.

[Disturbed]

31. If McLiar doesn't get the Pres. spot Pit Bull Palin will be

Impeached by the Alaska Legislature. There is quite enough evidence now that she violated Ethics & Laws.

[brooklynite]

32. Don't jump to conclusions...

Palin was McCain's choice, not the Party's. There's two much ambition from Mittens, Huckabee, etc. to allow her to waltz to the front of the line.

[kskiska]

34. If true, it's bad news for Jebbie

He'll be tanned, rested, and ready by then.

[nicknuk]

39. STOP Palin from making progress

Guys-
THIS IS EASY AND IMPORTANT!! Palin is ahead in the favorable for VP poll on PBS.
Polling is very important in elections! Help stop her!

Please take the time to do this:

[Kansas Wyatt]

44. Oh good!

She and her family will be under a microscope for the next four years, and I doubt the graveyard in her closet will stay buried... They cannot turn her loose now, because they fear she will start speaking from her own mind, and that is a long time to keep her shut up.
