Palin's Future Causes Republican Rift: (OPERATION PRINCESS)

(CNN) -- Election Day is still days away, but Republicans are already caught up in a heated debate about Sarah Palin's future role in the party should the GOP ticket fail to win the White House.

Gov. Sarah Palin speaks at Shippensburg University in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday.

In one corner are some conservatives who believe the Alaska governor has been a detriment to John McCain's presidential bid and threatens to lead the party astray for the foreseeable future.

Another faction says Palin's core-conservative beliefs, demonstrated political acumen, and compelling frontier biography position her to reshape the face of a party now viewed by many voters as out of touch.

It's a debate, somewhat ugly at times, that is beginning to play out in public view as Republicans brace themselves for the possibility of losing the White House and a significant number of seats in Congress come Election Day. And that may leave the party in shambles with drastically reduced influence in Washington.

Should that happen, political observers say, the party will face its biggest identity crisis in more than a generation, and Palin may well be caught squarely in the middle of it.

Let's help our Palin Loving Republican Friends out! PLEASE FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

1. Thank Rush Limbaugh for the idea currently known as "Operation Chaos"
2. Re-Name Operation Chaos to "Operation Princess" 2012
3. As Obama runs un-opposed in 2012, Dems cross over and vote for Sarah Palin in the '12 Primary
4. Dems sit back and watch heads explode as Fiscal Cons, Social Cons and Neo Cons tear each other apart when more "qualified" candidates like Mitt, Mike, Jeb, Newt, Colin, etc. don't win nomination
5. Enjoy popcorn during the three debates between Palin & Obama in October, 2012.
6. Watch Obama beat Palin by 70% - 30% on 11/06/12


Please K&R if you like Operation Princess. It might just be crazy enough to work!

4. Are you arguing that Sarah Palin ISN'T an F-ing Disney Movie?
:) Seriously though.... she most likely can name all of the cast members of High School Musical much faster then all of the members of NATO.

9. I know.. i'm COUNTING on it...
She really has the same brain problem that Bush does... an inferiority complex... she will run, her ego (and her friends) won't let her NOT run.

So - let's go with it.. let's help the girl. She's so utterly incompetent.. no one will vote for her except for the bible thumping fundies, and luckily there aren't nearly enough of them to get her into office.

Dems will vote for Obama again. Fiscal Cons will cry and stay home. Fundies will be really excited until they realize she doesn't have a chance in hell. And, we keep Barry-O in the white house for 4 more years.

11. Palin represents the type of person
Cheney et al has been trying to rope into the party for years now. A know nothing that will do what their told by lobbyists and corporations and has undying party loyalty. The problem is Cheney and company never planned what is going to happen when they leave. They are now reduced to uneducated ideologues that scare a large portion of the population.

13.  CNN reported tonight that she has announced her intention to run.
Wolf reported it and the CNN reporter on the McCain bus said the McCain people are NOT amused!

She's going to be easy to knock off.. all Dems, and 1/2 of Republicans don't like her.. so let's get her up there.. her ego will take her far. :)

17. This means she has conceded!!!
Edited on Wed Oct-29-08 09:10 PM by verges
Unless as VP she plans on running against her own incumbent. She has freaking conmceded the election!! Even she isn't going to vote for McCain!!! Infuckincredible!

Edit to add: Which should mean that the GOP will never give her the nod for such blatant disloyalty! Not only did she concede this election; she already shot herself in the foot for the next!! Amazing. Has there ever been such a clumsy politician on the national stage?

18. I can't wait until the she devil
gets her just desserts
She has gotten herself into the public eye-and the folks in Alaska are not happy
I can't wait until the GOP no longer has the right to control all the info coming from Alaska, and real info comes out.
Kiss Caribou Barbie's sweet ass goodbye-fingers crossed!!!

20. If people were stupid enough to vote for Bush in such large numbers they're stupid enough to vote
for her. I don't want even a remote chance of her getting near the white house.

21. Na.. her negative ratings are already
HIGHER then her Positives. Bush didn't have near the PR problems she did before he won (or stole) in 2000. 1/2 of the republicans who care about fiscal responsibility hate her as much as Dems do.. just for a different reason. They're sick and tired of the Religious Right runing their party.. and they're sick of the "elect the idiot" memo that seems to be floating through there as well. Bush.. not smart. Now Palin.. even dumber... hell.. Joe the Plumber will probably be lining up for VP at this point.. no college? No problem!

23. Operation Princess 2012, genius!
This is sweet! We can help marginalize the rethug party into a deep south racist, know-nothing branch of the KKK with Mooselini as their leader!

The Dems will rule for the next 16 years at least!:toast:

This is gonna be good!! :popcorn:
