The New American Politics thread

That transcript was something. Not sure what sort of something but it was something.

It made my head hurt. She is sooooo stupid.

[Coach]

I just don't know what to say anymore. I really, truly, don't understand how someone can listen these people and go "Yup! That's the right idea right there!"

I can't imagine living there and watching this happen. Once the real Dems vs Reps actually starts, the Dems should be focusing HARD on bringing the youth out to vote purely to stop this from happening. They don't need to say anything beyond that. Don't need to express any policy issues or anything. They just have to stop this.

Yeah, but part of me still finds her sexy.

Man I need serious help and anti-psychotic drugs.

I think it is very stupid not to see that Sarah Palin is a very intelligent rhetorician. Actually, a very good speech considering the audience.

That crazy Palin. Seriously, she's insane. Woman version of Trump with the most annoying voice.

This is awesome.

She's so fake, her crazy xtian ideals are more aligned with pretty much anyone else, but she's riding the coat tails of the front runner. Maybe he can get her back on TV.

The implication being that she is playing stupid to pander to stupid people so they support her stupid ideas for stupid reasons?

That's worse than actually being stupid.

So he ups the crazy and brings in Palin, that should fix things and dump me out of the race.

Nope the hard core looneys lap it up.

Someday students in university are going to study from a text book about the failings of democracy and the rise of dictarships in the west, and its going to be called "Don't worry man it could be worse"

I wonder if he is playing with a different end game in mind than everyone else in the running (Democrat or Republican). He really has nothing to gain and plenty to lose should he actually be elected president so it makes you wonder what he is really trying to do here. We are assuming he wants the same thing out of this race (ie his party's nomination and then the White House) as the others do but that may not necessarily be the case.

It's a somewhat enviable brand of narcissism.

[DuffMan]

Love the fact that her daughter makes money preaching abstinence, yet has 2 ####### children, and now her son was arrested on domestic violence charges last night.
Conservative family values.

Stupid people can be good at something but it doesn't make them not stupid.

Thanks Obama. I can't wait to see how she blames Obama for her daughter getting knocked up over and over again out of wedlock. Actually, maybe I would . . .

Sarah Palin appeared to suggest Wednesday that her son's arrest this week on domestic violence charges stemmed from the effects of PTSD as a soldier in Iraq and blamed President Obama for not providing adequate care for veterans.

Oh and she's the only one pandering tailor-made messages?

Not at all.

But "messages" aren't necessarily synonymous with "lies".

1. Bush started the war, why not blame him even slightly?
2. Track allegedly join the army not because he wanted to, but to avoid going to jail
3. It should be required that the theme to the Beverly Hillbillies plays every time she comes on stage.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Of course perhaps endorsing Trump was just a move so Sarah can start fundraising again for Track's Bail Child expenses for Bristols illegitimate kids general white trash behavior making sure she can travel around to Make America Great Again

“Yesterday was a historic day,” reads an email from SarahPAC. “After touring the country for her book tour and hearing from thousands of people, Governor Palin went all in for Donald Trump.”

“SarahPAC plans to continue endorsing anti-establishment candidates who will not play politics as usual,” the email continues. “In order to get Sarah to political events to support endorsed candidates we need your help to fundraise her travel.”

Grifters gonna grift

[DuffMan]

who wouldn't want endorsements like this...

“They stomp on our neck, and then they tell us, ‘Just chill, O.K., just relax.’ Well, look, we are mad, and we’ve been had. They need to get used to it.”

“We’re talking about no more Reaganesque power that comes from strength. Power through strength.”

“And you quit footing the bill for these nations who are oil-rich, we’re paying for some of their squirmishes that have been going on for centuries. Where they’re fighting each other and yelling ‘Allahu akbar,’ calling jihad on each other’s heads forever and ever. Like I’ve said before, let them duke it out and let Allah sort it out.”

“How about the rest of us? Right-winging, bitter-clinging, proud clingers of our guns, our God, and our religion, and our Constitution.”

“He is from the private sector, not a politician. Can I get a ‘Hallelujah!’ ”

“Mr. Trump, you’re right, look back there in the press box. Heads are spinning, media heads are spinning. This is going to be so much fun.”

“In fact it’s time to drill, baby, drill down, and hold these folks accountable.”

“Well, and then, funny, ha ha, not funny, but now, what they’re doing is wailing, ‘Well, Trump and his Trumpeters, they’re not conservative enough.’ ”

“And he, who would negotiate deals, kind of with the skills of a community organizer maybe organizing a neighborhood tea, well, he deciding that, ‘No, America would apologize as part of the deal,’ as the enemy sends a message to the rest of the world that they capture and we kowtow, and we apologize, and then, we bend over and say, ‘Thank you, enemy.’ ”

“He’s got the guts to wear the issues that need to be spoken about and debate on his sleeve, where the rest of some of these establishment candidates, they just wanted to duck and hide. They didn’t want to talk about these issues until he brought ’em up. In fact, they’ve been wearing a, this, political correctness kind of like a suicide vest.”
