McCain’s Gift to the GOP, Palin the Time Bomb?

[Stingo]

Why did John McCain pick Sarah Palin, anyway? Could he have had a long range goal of crippling the religious right? I’ll believe that if he goes back to his old self, the bipartisan pragmatist. Still, if Sarah Palin continues on her course, she will gain strength and then shoot herself and the extremist Christian mullahs in the foot, hopefully in 2012.

1. McCain picked Palin to appeal to bigots. Too bad for him there were less than he thought.

2. I should have put

"suicide bomber" in the title! Dammit!

3. Sarah Palin is the gift that keeps on giving

Nuts enough to be nominated by the
GOP screwball base, totally unelectable
in a general election.

If there needs to be a symbol for the
political collapse of the Republican
Party, Mooselini is it.

4. Mooselini?

She likes Italian food? What, does that come with antler shaped pasta?

[Mark E. Smith]

10. She shoots Moose (and other critters) from aircraft

Thus "Mooselini."

5. McCain picked Palin to steal Obama's headlines the day after Obama's speech to the Democratic

Convention.

It was a great tactic. Terrible strategy. And McCain later tried to lecture Obama on the difference between tactics and strategy. There's no fool like an old fool.

6. Old fools never die

they just go back to the Senate

7. I never tire or Palin as "backfire" to the Repugs stories...

But, it would be wrong to gloat (or to discount the insanity of the RW)

[Stingo]

8. Gloating?

Is that a bad Christian thing or something? Or is it wrong according to your own ethics?

I'm fine with a little gloating. She's made her bed, as has the right wing whack jobs who follow her.

[hlthe2b]

9. I think I'm a little superstitious, that's alll...

Phenomenon of premature gloating coming back to bite the "gloatee."

[Stingo]

11. Grow yourself a goatee

It will serve to protect you. ;)

[Caretha]

15. I call it reveling

and that is all acceptable according to the Gods.

"Ye must revel when you get the chance".

I just made that up, but its sounds good :)

12. sarah palin is in the same league as alan keyes. And we see how far he's gotten -- lol

[Stingo]

14. WJL?

Whack Job League?

13. I hope you're right. I don't see a way the GOP can hold onto religious right AND get swing votes

anymore.
