Palin suggests she's now GOP political fixture

[MrModerate]

Source: Yahoo/AP

TOLEDO, Ohio – Facing the unhappy prospect of defeat, Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin indicated Wednesday that she will not disappear from the national political scene if the GOP ticket loses on Tuesday.

"Absolutely not. I think that, if I were to give up and wave a white flag of surrender against some of the political shots that we've taken, that ... that would ... bring this whole ... I'm not doing this for naught," Palin said in an interview with ABC News, according to excerpts of a transcript released by the television network.

Palin was steadfast in saying Republican presidential nominee John McCain would defeat Democrat Barack Obama.

"I'm just ... thinking that it's gonna to go our way on Tuesday, Nov. 4. I truly believe that the wisdom of ... of the people will be revealed on that day. As they enter that voting booth, they will understand the stark contrast between the two tickets," the Alaska governor said.

I guess we can all figure out *which* fixture might be most appropriate?

[musette_sf]

1. "I'm not doing this for naught"

she's got a kid named Naught now?

[saigon68]

111. She's more of a Bathroom Fixture

[Horse with no Name]

2. Well it is too bad that she doesn't realize that even though

McCain was the Captain of the Titanic...she was the iceberg.

[onecent]

90. Beautiful analogy! n/t

[Tempest]

3. No ego on that woman

I don't think things will work out quite the way she envisions.

[floridablue]

32. Move over Katherine Harris..hehehe

[goforit]

99. "Its ME....ME and .....MEEEEEEE" (great analogy)

[SemperEadem]

38. everyone she's been talking smack about in the thug party

all this time are all waiting on her to exit this stage so they can give her an understanding about how things are done.

First, she has to be able to come out of these investigations with a clean slate and that ain't happening. Ted Stevens' legacy has locked a millstone around her neck and she's quite unaware that she doesn't have the key to unlock that lock.

Second, she has to be able to withstand a national primary, which I doubt she would do. The thugs smearing her to get her out of the way will be sport for them. She doesn't understand how things in the lower 48 work in real life. Her insulated exposure to the crowds who come see her mean nothing--she's going to have to put boots on the ground and campaign hard in every state--and she has already proven that she doesn't like to do hard work. She likes stepping in and taking credit.

She had her chance and her big mouth blew it.

4. Palin and Joe not the plumber

They both have wildly exaggerated notions of their competence, adequacy, and importance.

If the universe has its way, the best they'll become is an obscure answer on "Jeopardy" one day.

[Alcibiades]

24. Totally unfair to Tonya Harding

She was really quite an amazing figure skater. Palin was the prettiest girl in Wasilla. Joe Wurzelbacher is just a liar.

[Jade Fox]

68. Agree. Harding was a hell of a skater.

[norepubsin08]

79. Jesus Christ quit calling him Joe

that fuckhole's actual name is Samuel, not Joe.

[tblue37]

101. My ex-husband's first name is William. His middle name is

Robert. He goes by Bob.

It is quite possible that this non-plumber fellow goes by the name Joe, even if his first name is actually Samuel.

[Miss Chybil]

108. But her sudden rise to infamy was just as remarkable as these jokers'. nt

Because that's what she's become to McLame.

And the backwash WILL blame her for '08.

[Serge A Storms]

13. look where Kathrine Harris is today Neocons use their women and discard them

[Canuckistanian]

17. So true

I was always astounded at the treatment they gave to the woman who delivered them Florida on a platter.

I see Palin as someone who FAILED to do half of what Harris did for the GOP.

[Liberal Veteran]

14. Isn't a garbage disposal a fixture?

[Wickerman]

15. Perhaps by 2012 she will learn to string together words to form a coherent sentence

nah, not gonna happen.

16. Palin is a punchline

not a political fixture.

[slackmaster]

22. I agree with Sarah on something! "As they enter that voting booth, they will understand the stark

contrast between the two tickets."

Can't argue with that. Right on Sarah!

[Malidictus Maximus]

23. "she will not disappear from the national political scene if the GOP ticket loses "

OH PLEASE, OH PLEASE OH PLEASE!!!!!! The gift that keeps on giving

[tavalon]

103. Yeah, I don't think we could be so lucky as to have her as an opponent again!

[Hissyspit]

25. Narcissist.

She will be a permanent fixture on Fox news.

[grytpype]

31. I'm glad she's the GOP's future, because that means it has no future.

[petronius]

33. I suspect every prominent Republican in the US has already set up their

e-mail filters to block any messages from ****@state.ak.us. Also, they're probably adding all Alaska exchanges to their telephone block lists.

She's in for a rude awakening. If she wasn't as obtuse as a dead mule, I'd say it's going to be painful...

[shadowknows69]

35. Sarah if you guys lose your disappearance from the political scene

Will break speed records. Your beloved party will crucify you.

[Jim Lane]

110. No, she won't disappear

Look in at the Freakshow sometime. The Freepers love her. They think McCain should've stepped down from the ticket, pleading ill health, so that Palin could take the top spot.

As soon as Obama's win is official, Palin will become the de facto leader of the Republican Party's know-nothing xenophobe culture-war wing.

[nbcouch]

37. Disappear, what a great idea

Palin arrived on the scene just in time to participate in the twilight exercises (their death throes, if you will) of the Neocons. She's perfect for them, a Neocon wet dream - ignorant, amoral, and utterly without shame or conscience - but what she seems not yet to realize is that their time is nearly up.

If Palin is the future of the GOP, then the future looks very bright for us indeed.

[frylock]

40. if I were to give up and wave a white flag of surrender..

the fuck?! is that her catch phrase now?

73. She belongs on Governors Island, then. Send her there.

[Interceptor7]

70. God I hope she does run

and provide us with an entire campaign full of "you betcha" dumbass moments, serious gaffes, sideshow of redneck rallies.
I look forward to Palin 2012.

[tavalon]

106. Alas, despite her delusions, we will not be so lucky as to have her back in 2012,

hell, I'm shocked that we were so lucky as to have her remain on the campaign throughout. I truly thought after the net vetted her, she wasn't even going to be nominated, much less become the asinine fixture she became. She was truly the gift that just kept giving. Notice the past tense. She isn't even on my radar anymore. Well, SNL may do one more skit and of course, I'll watch and mock right along with everyone else, but mostly she's already gone.

72. Buttheads

Sarah Palin - butthead extraordinaire.

Go to: www.buttheadpolice.com

Vote for her, and others like her, to get an ass stamped on their heads. All in good fun, but makes a wicked statement. Spread the word! Buttheads will roll!!

Damn, is it 1995 already?

When you upgrade to Windows ME, you can do WHOIS and Reverse DNS Lookups too! That will make snooping much easier for your Forensic Computor Anal-thingy. Who I suspect is also your secretary/sister/wife.

Series-ly, though!!! Anyone who needs a good laugh should go to GD-P and find the thread about Freepers learning to use Digg. I laughed so hard it hurt.

"Couldn't we add some buttons and graphics to FR, like other sites have had for 5 years?"

"Cave good. Fire scary. Do not want!" (OK, that was a DU'ers comment. But a good overall summary.)

85. many thanks! n/t

[superconnected]

80. Yes Bimbo, everyone's fixating on you and that's why Mcshame lost the election.

Picking a bimbo for his running mate ended his argument that Barack had no experience and gave Mcshame a no confidence vote from his own people, on his first important act as president- picking the vice.


Just think Du-ers - if the Simpson revealing Palins ex-lovers issue is true, it will tie up anything the republicans can say in the last days of the election. They won't get any words through to try and sway voters. All the press will fixate on is Palins trashy love life. That is not where Mcshame wants to be. His bad choice of running mate has derailed his own voice in the election to side news that doesn't get press. Instead we get to gawk at palins latest dimwit moves/clothes/investigations/lovers etc. I guess I should thank him and write to his website that at this point, he may as well vote for Obama. He's done so much to bury his own campaign and insure obama will win.

[depakid]

81. My guess is that Alaskans will have a say about that

before the rest of us do...

[dipsydoodle]

83. It's interesting to see from some above deletions

that a turd or two must've have shown their fa<e>ces.

[MadHound]

86. Sadly, she's probably right

She's shown that she can get out the RW fundy base, and that is a valuable asset. The trouble is that base really isn't enough to carry her into national office. I can see her as a Senator, or Rep, or even possibly a veep candidate again(though I seriously doubt it).

But the most likely scenario I see for her is political pundit on Faux. She can rant and rave while Hannity and others nod in agreement. But that's about it. She has value within the party, but it's a limited value. Now then, if the RW fundies do take over the 'Pugs, she'll be leading the party for sure, but it will be a party that is weak and divided.

[MissMillie]

88. We can only hope

that woman's been pretty good for the Democratic Party

[Cass]

89. "I'm not doing this for naught," Palin said.

I doubt she would get too far in a national presidential primary although the fundies would be orgasmic at the prospect of her candidacy. Her ego is larger than her sensibilities.

She is unable to handle an interview with Katie Couric, never mind a Sunday morning interview with MTP. She has little to no understanding of most issues, she's been fed talking points and recites policy positions that have been drilled into head in cram sessions. She thinks this is a stage show with fancy packaging, lighting, a good speech writer, and a kick-ass wardrobe.

Who knows, maybe she will appoint herself to Steven's seat if he resigns.

[endarkenment]

91. A fixture? Like a urinal?

[Felix Mala]

93. A fixture like the horrible painting the crazy aunt with all the cats...

...makes you hang on your wall. And then insists it be hung in a prominent spot so all visitors can see it.

[tledford]

94. "As they enter that voting booth, they will understand the stark contrast between the two tickets."

She is absolutely correct. This is why people will vote Obama-Biden.

[DBoon]

95. Is a millstone a "fixture"

if so, then the republican party has one tied tightly around its neck

[NoodleyAppendage]

96. How appropriate that Palin would use a DOUBLE NEGATIVE. Dumbass.

If she wants to be the standard bearer for those who don't want to understand science and believe that the Earth is about 6000 years old; or the representative of peoples who believe that demons roam the planet; or the leader of racist, homophobic, low-SES white trash...

...then please, Sarah, go to it. I'm looking forward to you and people that "love" you being in the minority for DECADES TO COME. Choke on it, you POS

J

[Oak2004]

116. Palin is a loser. Double negatives are not.

It's a myth that double negatives are prohibited in English grammar. While Palin's sentiment is bizarre, the phrase she used is entirely acceptable.

'country first'!!!!!

Wonder if there are any pictures of her in her black leather, chains, whip & face mask?

[Adam42069gc]

115. "GOD HELP US!"

I don't believe in any god but I am so VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY terrified that she may succeed in running for president and may UNFORTUNATELY win in 4 to 8 years I am now praying for that not to happen. Now I'm totally unsure who I'm actually praying to but I'm terrified enough that I will try ANYTHING to prevent her from reaching "her goals" Even though I think Hilary Clinton and Failin Palin running against each other in 2016 would be a great race and that mostly all women, especially the educated and/or intelligent ones would vote for Hillary and Failin Palin would be exposed as the anti woman's rights, secessionist, bible thumping jesus freak, witch doctor, BABY FACTORY, christian ZEALOT, IGNORANT UNEDUCATED AND JUST PLAIN STUPID/DUMB/BIMBO/ASSHAT/MORONIC/IDIOTIC/DENSE AND ALL AROUND FRAUD that SHE IS!!!
