The I can't stand thread

[Saggy]

The I can't stand thread certainly commenced with the winner ... Sarah Palin . I, myself, rate meinself as a 'conservative Republican' and next to GW Bush, Sarah Palin is the dumbest candidate the Republicans ever dreamed up. You'd a thought after the Democrats jumped in and got elected after Bush F'U'd the country, that the Republicans might see the folly of running idiots for President.

Fiction and Fact from Sam's Almanac

Methinks you all are missing something. The Presidential election is not until 2014. The absolute dumbest thing you want to do at this time is select and announce your nominee. You want to give the opposition 3 years to demonize him or her? That's EXACTLY what would happen.
Sooooooo. What do you do? Keep your "List" very close to your chest. Let NO ONE know. And keep the Palins and Backmanns and Romneys out there because they can keep your base alive. You, personally, don't think them good enough-----but they ARE popular and have big followings. Then, when it's time (2013?) introduce your nominee. At that time, the Palins, the Backmanns and Romneys will ENDORSE your " him or her" and bring all their "bases" along with them.
In this meantime---you all are playin' right into the oppositions' hands by helping to destroy these bases. You may not agree with the "spokesmen" or think they are "Potential", but it's the BASES that need to be kept alive and well while protesting present Washington Politics that are dragging you and I right down the sewer. PAY ATTENTION TO THE BASES!!!!
Keep in mind the game of baseball, if you will, You can hit a home run----but if your don't TOUCH THE BASES----it's no good.

Uh, while you are right in your train of thought, we get to elect a new President in 2012....

Yes, please dont burden us with this bunch of free spending socialist any longer than we have to. With any luck the American people will wise up enough to put people in office that would stop the money train from pulling out of the station ever again come November.

I doubt it, Tx. Figure she'll just rake in millions being a shill for far right. Won't do anything to bring a viable candidate up for the next election.

She and Rush will just keep spilling stupid stuff to stir the right. Not enough kooks in that side just as there aren't enough on the left. To win the person got to be closer to the middle.

To be honest I dont think Palin, if thats who you were referring to, has a chance to win. She has figured out her place now and found there is more money in what she is doing, less pressure, as she is not held to any particular agenda, and doesnt have to run a grueling campaign for a job that lasts 4 years and comes with all the headaches on the planet. They make more money spilling stupid stuff, just like Jon Stewart, Mikey Moore the SNL crew and many others who have found the gold at the end of the rainbow, having a job that pays you better the more outrageous you act, and you answer to nobody for the things you say and do. Perfect!

I've got no beef with her going on a talky tour and making money. Clinton still does it, and so does Gore. The fact of the matter is she is a small business owner raking in cash hand over fist, and until the gravy train stops, why shouldn't she? She doesnt think she will be on another ticket because she is now in the news as a commentator, doing a reality tv show, and talk tour.


Want to talk about hating someone? Toss Al Gorelioni into the ring with michael moore and let them fight over an eco friendly socialist donut and see who wins!

Yeah LD. I got the dates screwed up. Dates were never my forte---- starting in high school history. Believe it or not, I can't even remember the ages of my 5 kids. I know they range from around 53 down to about 30 something.
