Palin really doesn't have a clue, does she?
Does she really think this sounded inspiring coming from "failin' 1/2 term Palin"?

"What we need is -- we need people with a proven record of reform and are willing to take on the tough challenges and run into danger, if you will, not run away from it," she said. Palin's supporters often tout her record of reform and her bipartisan attack on corruption during her tenure as Governor of Alaska.

2. Unfortunately, it works just fine for her audience
The teabaggers completely believe that she did everything that could be done for Alaska and quit to save them money. They are simply fucking delusional.

3. Yep. My thoughts as well.
Their capacity for self-delusion is astounding.

6. I read today that the tea baggers are losing interest in Palin.
Over 50% say they wouldn't vote for her.

11. Teabaggers will do as they are told.
If the Koch Brothers decide on Palin, they will vote for her. That's the beauty of the Kochs. They give people the freedom to think for themselves.

9. I agree with you...
That's the beauty of the Palin phenomena re her cult followers... they don't care if it makes sense. If it sounds good, and is demeaning to the President & liberals, then it's a great speech.

16. She fits perfectly with the 'break it to save it' meme.
Crash the economy to save it, and quit the state to save the country.

4. "run into danger" LMAO
Pfc1: Okay Sgt. what should we do?

Sgt: Well Private, see that danger over there? Let's not run into it

Pfc1 to another Pfc: Holy shit is the Sgt. crazy?

Pfc2: I'm not sure. He may be from Alaska.






Alaska - sorry that was a bit of a cheap joke ...funny yes but cheap.

5. Typical Republicon AWOL excuse maker
She projects her own QUITTER faults on to innocents...and pretends she is not the AWOL quitter wanker-whiner that she and other Republicons are so infamous for among American citizens.

7. A year ago I predicted she would be president. I'm sticking to it.
I have that kind of faith in the American people.

10. She won't, her 15 minutes are up. Even the teabaggers don't
want her in the race.

She's a has-been.

14. Yup, she's dumb as a lox. That doesn't disqualify her.
When I make a prediction I stick with it. :P

17. I'm not as convinced as you are.
The other republican candidates have to attack her if she joins the race. I mean really tear her apart. Even her bud, Michele Bachmann has to. It won't be pretty and it will be less pretty when Palin has to respond in kind. We saw a sample of it this week-end when she went after Perry for "crony capitalism".

8. Well, she doesn't have a future, either...
...so it's a matched set.

12. Every time I see her on TV, it looks like she lost 5 more points off her IQ...
She is rapidly becoming a parody.

15. And has a voice like a screech owl.
I saw a CNN clip yesterday of her teabag speech. Man I dived for the remote so fast I had a flashback of me in 1960 sliding into second base.
