Why do we have "pundits" on our side referring to Palin as a "maverick?"

[Skidmore]

She's not maverick. She's your run of the mill corrupt, self-serving, lying politician. Why are we not slapping the appropriate label on this miscreant instead of helping the RW nuttery with promoting her?

[endarkenment]

1. Our pundits are frequently either idiots or not ours. nt

[Curtland1015]

2. I think they just mean that they think she looks like James Garner.

...I think.

:hide:

3. Whack job

It is unfortunate that looks seem to be a job qualification that carries more weight than intellect.
No matter how lame she is, the producers will continue to give her air time. The wackier and more controversial, the better the ratings. I am annoyed with myself for reading and posting on a palin thread. It's like trying not to look at the accident.

4. She's a stray cow with no brand?!!?

5. This time the Pundits have read the tea leaves and they are correct.

I hope I am not giving the Pundits too much credit. I hope
they understand "the natives are restless".

Look, we all poke fun at the TeaBaggers. I hope we and the
Pundits realize these are people who have never gone to the
streets in their lives. Many for the most part, actually
had disdain for the Protestors of the '60s.

People are feeling the pain of Recession(Depression) and are
angry with our Parties (both) for getting us into this mess.

Note Palin stays in good stead inspite of her "quitting".

Think about it---Most Americans who make under 75K annually
can identify with her. They feel they have been kicked around
by the system and many of them have had a "Take the is Job
and Shove It" experience. Folks, this is a huge group of
Americans. At least 3/4 of country fall into this category.

For Decades the two Parties have only been concerned about
people who make 75,000 a year. These are the people who
up until Obama voted. Both Parties believed if they kept
this group Upper Middle Class and Wealthy happy, they
were successful. Communications have made it possible for
those peons to understand what is going on. There is
much anger.

Give her credit. Democrats say they will stand up to
Business. Sara Palin in her first term took on the Oil
Industry and broke the Corruption. It takes a Maverick
to do this. The people see this and this gives them
real Hope.

We ACCOMODATE. The Pundits see this and see the Maverick.

:spray:

Oh, Sarah gives them real hope, does she?

:rofl:


Precious... just precious.

[Skidmore]

8. Give me a break.

No, I do not give her credit for being corrupt, manipulative, a fear and hate mongerer, and an inveterate liar. We should be very much relieved that she did not make it into the second highest office in our land and should be doing everything within our power to make certain she doesn't have a legitimate platform to get into the arena again. I want no part of this woman, nor do I want her in public office anywhere.

[Blue_In_AK]

11. She did not "break the corruption"

She merely shifted it to benefit her. Have you not been paying attention?

[KharmaTrain]

7. She's A Gift That Keeps Giving...

Rarely have I seen a politician so inept and still so popular. It's like watching an anti-gravity machine. While Mooselini is a hack politician in the finest rushpublican mold...all hat, no cattle...she's got that certain nothing that draws attention both good and bad. In that perspective she is definitely unique and not always for the right reasons.

Let the pundits and corporate media spinners call her what ever they wish...the more this lady is exposed to the public eye the worse she looks. Words can cover up actions and this lady has alienated not only Democrats and moderates/indempents but is now starting to eat into her own corrupt party as well. If you think the term "maverick" rangles Democrats (I find it amusing) imagine how this term is creating a big rift in the GOOP. Remember, her support even in that coven hovers around 20%.

Let her keep going...let the corporate media continue their fasciation...she just amplifies how detached her corrupt party is and drives the wedge in wider within the GOOP...veering it further to the right and from any political relevance.

9. I think of her as a Maverick

Every time they say it, I'm reminded of this image:



It's even winking at ya!

10. Brave Alaskan bloggers have been trying to get the truth out

about Sarah, but the MSM and the pundits don't want to listen. We're all pretty amused at the way everyone tries to put lipstick on this pig. (Yes, I said it.)

[Echo In Light]

12. She's a moron, and a good example of how insipid a-holes are suited for govt

You can't even make the claim that her handlers are worth a shit.
