Sarah Palin: Completely bat****

[rah]

Yes, she's a media whore. It's a shame, when she was first selected as the VP candidate, I thought, not bad. A good looking female conservative gov known for fightin corruption. Everything that Hilary wasn't. But as the spot light got brighter the illusion was shattered. Unfortunately she still sees herself in the original light and hopes that through continual exposure she can regain that appeal. She's part right about it since there seem to be a lot of morons (bk included) out there that will believe whatever she says and continue to bow at her altar.

Fortunately the more moderate parts of the party (which includes myself and a majority, I hope) is not so easily fooled which will leave her on the outside in 2012.

She should host a talk show, not run for politics. Maybe she can go on opposite Rachel Ray.

I hope you're right, rah. But "the more moderate parts" of the GOP haven't been heard from much recently. Even mother****ing Rick Santorum (!) is putting out feelers for the 2012 nom. Here's hoping the moderates stop letting the patients run the asylum.

I said before that I would normally think she was angling for this, but in her case I think she's actually so deluded as to believe that her antics make her a MORE legitimate candidate for 2012

So Buchanan can't be a populist? He's political, not academic, but still a member of the elite.

Umm, no. Buchanan's campaign hardly struck me as 'populist'. That was more Ronald Reagan.

The moderates gave us:

McCain (LOST), Dole (LOST), Ford (LOST).

I think the lesson is obvious. Moderate republicans just plain suck as candidates.

What we need is another (Reagan) (Won 2x)!

And Obama will win in 2012. Sorry, we tried McCain who was a moderate. Now it's time for a Reagan style conservative Republican.

[KrazyHorse]

Should I open those posts to see what wonderful nuggets of wisdom on American politics Ben has provided us with?



I think not...

[Ben Kenobi]

Yeah I know people are just thrilled to see you post that, over and over. . Why don't you join the conversation KH?

I don't see how you can say that. McCain was our candidate this time, not one of the far right wack jobs. The moderates will be heard. I won't even comment on BKs comment since he's part of the far right wack group.

[A bunch of nonsense about how moderates always lose.]

Nixon won twice and G.H.W. Bush won once. W was a retarded cokehead, so I'm not sure where he fits in.

McCain was a decent candidate who was handicapped by the burden of Bush fatigue and beaten by one of the best run campaigns in history.

Moderates aren't born losers. You're just cherry picking facts.

As an aside I'm still rooting for Paul. He's crazy enough to be entertaining, he's got some decent ideas that would be nice to see in effect (reduced foreign intervention for one), and his truly crackpot **** will never get through Congress.

[KrazyHorse]

Prez appoints the chairman of the Fed. That in itself should be enough to stop any sane person from voting for him.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
I don't think any repug could have won faced with what was happening.
Most of the people here were laughing when anybody said a repug could win.
Until palin was exposed for what she really was, it was still a contest.
Better than any repug could have expected.
