Please don't throw me into that briar patch!

Am I the only one who is constantly being told by conservatives that the reason I'm derisive of Sarah Palin is because I'm scared to death of her running in 2012?


I think it would be the greatest thing to happen to the Democratic party in years if the Republicans chose Palin to represent them in the 2012 election.

It would make Johnson-Goldwater look like a nailbiter.



But for some reason... my conservative acquaintences are convinced that I secretly fear her political rise.


Does this happen to any of you?

1. What I get . . .
. . . from the wing-nuts I know - not friends - is that I'm afraid of a woman who is truly powerful.
They don't get what a joke I think that is.

5. If Palin is ever "elected" to anything again,
we are in serious trouble and we are fascist totalitarian police/miltary state.

So Sarah is an object of ridicule. Americans continue to surprise me in their self-destruction.

8. When I get that line of BS. I just shrug and say, let her...
Then follow up with, "maybe she'll quit mid stream like she did as governor".

I walk away with a smile on my face.

9. No, I'm derisive of Sarah Palin because . . .
No matter how foolish some Americans are, no matter how bone-stupid some Americans are, no matter how stubbornly some Americans vote and advocate against their own interests, I still think this country deserves better than Ms. Iquitarod as the Chief Executive.
