Is Palin Veering Off Course or Blazing Her Own Trail?Posted on Oct 28, 2009
Since last year’s presidential election, Sarah Palin has made unconventional moves for someone presumably planning to make a play for the White House in 2012. CNN’s Alexander Mooney takes a look at what she’s doing and whether it’s working to solidify her status in the GOP and boost her chances of running for president soon. —KA

If you are right, sophrosyne, I can only applaud the possibility. That harpy needs
Report thisput away once and for all! Even as the fence sitter that usually I am, I can only sit
and watch with glee how Dick Cheney performs an autopsy on her whilst she is
still alive. It is not that I discourage women from being involved, to participate in
politics. Good grief we all know that is requisite for any rational thinking to return
to politics. But when women are nothing but instruments of insane politics, they
have have to be exposed for the asbestos poison that they are.

Palin will run as an independent party candidate appealing to the far right neo-fascist wing of the Republican Party. Her stance will be: anti-immigrant, pro-white, pro-Israel, anti large banks and business, anti-rich republicans,, etc. She won’t win but will cause the Republican absolute misery as she costs them the election in 2012.

Why is it other People who are full of themselves seem to really annoy me?
Well at least I can forget them and enjoy Spending hours putting on me beauty cream, then I deserve to be full of humble me! (thank you that, Mousey Tongue in cheeks)((all four cheeks)).
Seems this post is not going anywhere like Palin, maybe one needs to run out and buy her book “Rouge”!

I think Palin is banking on three things:
Report this1. The American public is ignorant and easily deceived,charmed, hyponotized, misled.
2. It’s about time some “pretty woman” ran for President.
3. The Republican old guard are out of date.
I hope she’s wrong.

The problem is Palin doesn’t know just what an ignoramus she is.
Anyone who admires her is an idiot.

Better find a really good diaphragm for the planet earth, as it and we get ready
to be screwed royally by Palin and the special interests, the wealth
corporatocracy, is positioning themselves in as we breathe. One little hole in
that diaphragm and the mightiest abortion will be necessary to get rid of the
huge miscarriage of justice that will ensue if she makes any tracks in politics.
And it will have been done with our eyes wide open and the legs of the earth
wide open as we stand by and watch the screw.
With Palin in position, we will without a doubt go flying over the edge into the
canyon of blind consequences, like Thelma and Louise, we willingly will fall to
our collective death.
I don’t see us all in the same boat. I see us on our own personal raft and how
we steer it is how well we negotiate this life. We can either walk around that
raft with real dignity and real care about others on their raft, or ignore their
gasping for life and let them drown, and ourselves too if they go. The ocean of
life is choppy and dangerous. To let ourselves be seduced by the notion of a
myth would be to yield to fantasy again. The myth must be banished and
reality of yourself, the condition of this country and its place in the world, then
the world itself is what is at stake to be swept away by the lure of Palin’s down-
home provincial enchantment for capitalism-as-usual. This will be the biggest
mistake the voting population of this country can make and they will not be
crawling out of that hole that Palin and her congregation caused in the first
place. Memory must not be short just because there is a figment that doesn’t
look like a gray-haired conservative in suit who speaks in folksy banalities. It
is a clever demagoguery pulled on voters before and it must be strongly
resisted.

Report thisprovides some optimism that the charm is waning at least in Alaska, so pay
attention. Make hay while the sun shines the light on conservative soapbox
oratory.
