AMERICAblog: Palin even less popular in new poll

  • unrepentant_expat · 1 year ago
    Time to pitch flailing Palin onto a sea bound ice flow. Hopefully she'll get to share it with a rather hungry polar bear, one without much taste that is.

    Where are Palin's health records?

    No record of having a baby recently? Mmmmmmmm?
  • Eyeball_Kid · 1 year ago
    We'll never find out. We'll hear and read gossip, if she remains in the spotlight long enough for her stabbed-in-the-back benefactors to demand pay-back. That she and McCain have been able to withhold their medical records from larger examination should be disqualification enough for a discerning electorate. But you notice something? With all of the Republican-managed distractions, no one has seriously asked the question of either Republican Candidate. What if Palin has breast cancer? What if McCain's melanoma is spreading? We have a right to know. Yet we'll never find out, even if they are elected, until it's too late.

    Why would you be popular if you don't even have a basic understanding of the constitution and scare people with half-truths and lies?

    Oh wait, conservatives can identify with her.

    Hey, it's not a "popularity contest"!

    Oh, wait. Yes it is.

    Still, she's prettier than Tina Fey. Isn't that the standard? She's got Biden beat by a mile!

    Unless you go for the brainy type. But what does a Republican woman need with brains? As long as her other organs are functioning, right?

    If John McCouldn't lose this election, he's going to tell Miss Sarah to leave all $150,000 worth of clothes he bought her on the hotel room bed and she and the "First Dude" and take the next Southwest flight out. Geez, I hope she brought a change of clothes!

    I don't know which is worse, her grating, whining voice or what she says with it.

    As a feminist, I try to be respectful toward all women; it's been almost 40 years since I used the term "bitch" on another woman--but I used it on the Aryan Bitch this weekend...
  • blackwolf · 1 year ago
    That's saying a lot Older_Wiser. You see the Sarah Palin phenomenon exactly as we all do. 'Hockey moms", "Joe the Plumber", "He doesn't see American the way we do."

    Mark my words, a Democratic victory will last an entire generation--at least thirty years.

    Just heard that a Mason-Dixon poll shows McBush leading Obama 49-46 in NC. Jeeez, who did they poll? Because they also said that the Charlotte Metro area, which usually goes Dem for prez, showed McBush ahead, too.

    But--52% of early voters were Dems, 30% Rethugs, 18% Unaffiliated in NC, according to another report. Now, that's a good sign.
  • laughingcrow · 1 year ago
    Yeah, I read an analysis on fivethirtyeight.com (which is just a really great polling site, by the way) yesterday showing how Mason-Dixon is consistently about 2.5 points to the right compared with other polls. That would put NC at a dead heat when adjusted.

    Mason-Dixon is in the bag for McCaincient. Even more so than Zogby.

    The Aryan Bitch offers advice to Tina Fey:

    COLUMBUS, Ohio (CNN) – After country singer Gretchen Wilson performed at a Sarah Palin rally in Columbus on Sunday, Palin was sure to give a shout-out to John McCain, who put on a show of his own last night on Saturday Night Live.

    “Now speaking of great performances, did anyone catch John McCain last night on SNL, 'Saturday Night Live?'” Palin asked the crowd. “He was such a pro in those skits there with Tina Fey.”

    Palin advised Fey not to count on staying with her day job on “30 Rock.”

    “And a little advise for Tina,” Palin said. “We want her to make sure that she’s holding on to that Sarah outfit, because she’s going to need it in the next four years.”

    (Note to Wilson: You can only market that "redneck" persona for so long--it's pretty boring.)
  • blackwolf · 1 year ago
    Yeah, but it's to our advantage the Republcan party doesn't get it. To survive, they must change. If they change, they cannot survive.

    The GOP base would vote for a dog, they are so brainwashed. Put a cross on it for extra points.
  • Cashmere · 1 year ago
    While canvassing in Central Wisconsin yesterday, I was surprised by how many Republican/McCain voters I spoke to that had decided to vote for Obama based on McCain's choice of Palin for his running mate.

    She was the beginning of the end for him.
  • blackwolf · 1 year ago
    True Americans I'd say:) These are people who put America first. I'd be curious to find out if you ran across any Obama/Biden supporters that switched for the same reason.
  • Cashmere · 1 year ago
    I only met one Democratic voter who was voting for McCain--she was a Hillary supporter who was upset. How she can justify voting for McCain is a little beyond me. I just told her that Obama was more in line with Clinton's politics and left it at that.

    No Obama supporter I spoke to had any issues with Biden.

    Granted, this was a small sample--I only spoke to about 30 people after hitting roughly 60 houses.
  • blackwolf · 1 year ago
    Thanks for the info: I'd have to say, stepping out on a limb, that the one Hillary voter was voting the "gender" ticket. There's really no other explanation for it. But that's okay:) That's what America is all about. Thanks for getting out there on the ground for the Dems this year:)

    That the media could hold this uneducated fool up as a potential candidate with a bright future (Chris Matthews, e.g.) is a testament of the level of insanity we have arrived at. Palin isn't qualified to teach elementary school - much less be a leader. For the people of Alaska she's probably ok - after all, Ted Stevens in their hero.
  • blackwolf · 1 year ago
    Seriously the dawn of a new age in politics. There's going to be a return to sanity, and you can bet the Repbublicans will never field another candidate that plays to their base. There's something wrong with the base! It only attacts the fundamental religious right, the elite, hockey moms and Joe the Plumber--and the "paint" job all looks the same.

    The Republicans can't play to the diversity of America; and that is their everlasting demise.

    The Alaska Dingbat flames out.
  • GrMtGirl3 · 1 year ago
    It didn;t take long for the people to realize Palin was just a dumb, power hungry, self driven opportunist . . . Don't think many in Alaska will invite her back with open arms either . . . vetting has brought a lot of doubtful behaviors out in the light.
  • RIPWAMU · 1 year ago
    She is stumping in Ohio right now and she is in rare form with her lies and deceit and snide hate mongering comments. What is this about a tape from an interview in San Francisco that Obama was talking about the coal industry and that they would bankrupt themselves. She keeps talking about all this "11th hour" crap.
  • laughingcrow · 1 year ago
    While she was talking about "11th hour" crap did she happen to mention anything about her medical records?
  • RIPWAMU · 1 year ago
    LOL, nope. Didn't her camp promise those like two weeks ago? If she has nothing to hide then we would have seen them already.
  • laughingcrow · 1 year ago
    Yeah, I expected a late Friday 1200 page document dump that only a handful of reporters could look at for 15 minutes (no copies please!) and we didn't even get that. It must be truly bad. I'm sure she'll get her little medical record problem fixed before she takes her next stab at a national elective office though.
  • Eyeball_Kid · 1 year ago
    Perhaps Palin's "Spiritual Warfare" will take a holiday. A long holiday. A sabbatical. Maybe it will take on the mantle of irrelevance. We can only hope, if we can only legitimately vote.
  • ron071 · 1 year ago
    The post-election analysis of those voters who favored McCain / Palin will be a fascinating study of those voters. Stay tuned and be shocked.
  • sjw18930 · 1 year ago
    Sarah has had her 15 minutes. After inauguration day, you'll have to go to Alaska to find her name mentioned.
