It's a Thanksgiving Miracle!!!

Folks, it's simple: Sarah "turkey murder" Palin's interview has guaranteed she will never, ever be elected to any office higher than Hillbilly Alaskan Governor (HAG).

Can you imagine her trying to run in a Republican primary against the likes of Mitt ("tie my dog up, tie my dog down so long as it's on the roof of my car") Romney, and Huckleberry Huckabee? Or Bobby Jindal?

The HAG's turkey murder video will be present in each and every anti-HAG campaign video coming out in 2012.

So, unfortunately, Obama's gotta run against a real contender in 2012. Not the Hillbilly Alaskan Governor.

It's a blessing, but also a curse.

1. Do you really think that's going to stop her?

I seriously doubt it.

[CatBO]

2. Stopping "her" isn't what matters, she just stopped herself...

We may be a culture that loves our turkeys, but the HAG with a turkey-bloodletting in the background video will turn off many, many voters. No one wants to see an animal being murdered while a HAG stands in front of it all "yep yep!" and smiles. It's repulsive, not just to us (which is a given) but also to many "God fearing" "Christians" who love their turkey but can't stomach that stuff.

3. HAG????

you think it's cute I guess

I'm thinking sexist asshole, but that's just me I guess :shrug:

your main point stands however

5. Hillbilly Alaskan Governor...

I'm a woman and I think it fits.

If you don't like it, well, not my problem.

8. yeah, i got your acronym, you repeated it enough times

and your gender doesn't excuse your continuing a sexist stereotype.

how can we expect men to drop this crap when we perpetuate it ourselves?

welcome to DU.

10. Hypersensitive, much?

Thought so.

[NMDemDist2]

11. Actually no.

but thanks for asking.

:evilgrin:

4. Not to the Republican base.

They'll eat this stuff up, mark my words.

[CatBO]

6. The "base" is getting smaller and more divided by the second...

So she appeals to the animal murdering base...

The HAG turkey murder video will not appeal to the pet store owner that I met who wore her "pit bull with lipstick" t-shirt last time I was in there. (Literally the -last time- I will not give money to her store after seeing her in that shit.)

The HAG turkey murder video only appeals to animal-hating Republicans. That percentage of the base is much smaller than the "Jesus Loves You" crazy Christian base.

She's just alienated a large portion of the very tiny minority of her base. She will not make it past the primaries in 2012. Not by a long shot, thanks to her turkey murder video. Mark my words.

7. I hope she does run in 2012......

and by the looks of things she is not going anywhere, she will be there in 2012. That interview will only make it easier for her to lose.

9. Are you kidding? Republicans don't care about turkeys. They don't even care about people. nt
