Palin is a plant!

[ravencalling]

There is just no other explanation. She is bringing McCain down on purpose! Watch this video: Palin Newspapers

I know this sounds ridiculous but could there be anyone that could possibly be more devastating to their party? She is in person everything that is wrong with the Republican party. How could this be?

What if someone planted her, knowing McCain would jump at the offer. Someone baited McCain and he fell for it.

We always say that you can't make this stuff up. But.. what if someone DID make this up!

1. You mean....like a Wandering Jew?

[Tallison]

6. Which I learned yesterday is considered invasive

if you let it take root in a yard (I'm having the same problem with my Baby's Tears).

[mcctatas]

25. More of a cabbage flower

[mitchum]

36. Must... not... make...joke... about... Joe... Li-

[saltpoint]

2. Most plants are smarter than Sarah Palin.

3. .

[Believing Is Art]

4. It was Huckabee

I get the impression he's harboring some plans for 2012.

[LynneSin]

5. I swear to god the Republicans WANT the democrats to win...

only because they know (and so do we) that this financial mess is going to get worse before it gets better and want to try and blame the democrats for it.

[bdamomma]

9. of course, don't they always blame others for their mistakes

and total negligence and incompetence.

[ravencalling]

10. yes!

But Palin takes the cake. Don't you agree? Even with the financial meltdown, and everything that gives us every reason to vote the Repubs out of office for, on top of all this, there is this idiot who would be a heartbeat away from being President.

Doesn't it make you wonder?

She keeps doing these interviews, McCain keeps trying to shut her up... Just saying

[LynneSin]

18. He had better choices - Kay Bailey Hutchison would have fit the bill perfectly

but he went with incompetence or.....

Perhaps no one else wanted the job because they knew this ship was sinking

[tblue]

13. It does look that way. A lot of bad-mouthing of SP, lackluster support of McC,

and leaving him with egg on his face after the vote yesterday. I can't imagine they want to lose, but the party is not all on the same page, as they are usually in their lemming way.

[youthere]

7. I'll bet she's a yucca...she IS kind of yucky.

[doublethink]

8. Agreed ....

[ravencalling]

12. LOL! Please don't put down the plant!

[Historic NY]

21. that looks like a silk plant.......

:silly:

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

11. there is a theory, that I tend to agree with, that Palin and McCain

are being set up by the big big corp money interests in this country to purge the republican party of the evangelist and other religious right types and the neo-cons.

As much as I dislike republicans, it would be refreshing to see the party return to my Mom's and Dad's party, the Goldwater ideals, so we can move past the stupid social stuff and get back to arguing about tax rates. ;) ;)

[ravencalling]

14. well in theory...

there are actually people in the Republican party with brains, money and influence. Kind of makes you wonder what those few have been doing all these years? Hmmm?

[Imalittleteapot]

15. Some Republicans I know agree with you.

They think that their party wants out of the responsibility of fixing the mess they got us into. And knowing the gravity of the situation, they don't believe that a Democratic administration can correct the problems --- giving the Republicans an opportunity to run a better candidate in 2012.

One guy I talked to is hoping that Obama gets elected and really screws things up, giving the Republicans a 2012 win and "power
forever", as he put it.

[Believing Is Art]

38. I'm starting to think that type of Republican is as dumb

as the fundies are. Have they not been paying attention the last, what, 3 decades now? "Free market" and government cannot coexist by definition, so unless we want to give anarchy a try, we need Democrats.

[Raschel]

16. C'mon, how can you compare Palin with a wandering Jew

A creeping Churlie maybe.

[TooRaLoo]

17. OMG it's TRUE!!!!!!111!

I'm in a weird mood tonight.

[dixiegrrrrl]

39. Duzy.....

[ravencalling]

19. thanks for making me lmao with the plant posts!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[doublethink]

32. One more .....

[dhpgetsit]

20. You win a year's supply of Reynold's Tin Foil!!!

:tinfoilhat:

[Mark E. Smith]

22. To pave the way for the Jeb led Bush Restoration in 2012?

Makes sense to me.

After all, the GOP didn't really have to run
idiots this year. But they did.

[Bluebear]

23. Somebody repot her. nt

[spanone]

24. it really is insulting. the rest of the world must roll it's eyes and laugh at us.

[donco6]

26. I think the real Palin is in a coma somewhere -

this is her "Dave" double. Because I just have a hard time believing anyone could talk to this nutjob for more than 30 seconds and not recognize her for the screaming insane whacko that she is.

But I could be underestimating McCain's level of stupidity.

[NV Whino]

27. Wandering Jew

I've always called this particular plant Creeping Jesus. I may have to change that to Creepy Sarah.

[scarletwoman]

28. Yeah, Audrey Jr.

[Sal Minella]

31. Feeeeeeeed meeeeeeeee!!!

[eowyn_of_rohan]

29. yes. there is something very disturbing going on

she is an insult to our intelligence. Choosing her, and propping her up for the Vice Presidential debate, is disrespectful to not just us, but to our country - unpatriotic if you will. The two of them are like Boris and Natasha - cartoon characters - acting up, doing silly -even bizarre - things, distracting us... There is no way on earth this pair will win, without heavy cheating, and everybody - hopefully- knows that. They are the most absurd and ridiculous combo ever to seriously run for Pres and VP. My biggest fear is that they are are both planted, to occupy our time while something more sinister is in the wings... something they are distracting us from. Best case scenario, to me, is that the Bush regime and the GOP are truly unraveling.

[DS1]

30. You should see the view out of her bathroom window

[rucky]

33. Underestimate her at your own peril!!

:rofl:

sorry, I can't say that with a straight face

[torbird]

34. A plant? Nah.

It's pretty simple in my mind. Despite what some of us here would like to think -- that all Republicans are connected by the House of Rove -- McCain isn't getting all the help he needs from Uncle Karl. Nor is McCain beloved of the base, or the fatcat donors in the GOP, nor does he want their help or support.

He picked Palin for two very straightforward reasons:

1. To appeal to the fundamentalist crazies, without whom he cannot even come close to winning. McCain may hate those people, but he had no other way to get their support, because remember, he is not the Party's favorite son. Bear in mind, too, that McCain thinks really highly of himself and probably thinks Palin is on the ticket just for this limited reason and he can do the rest himself.

2. Palin is so far down on the list of viable GOP national candidates that she is, for all intents and purposes, an outsider still, and McCain can pick her without having to accept all the interference from the Bush cronies that would come with a Hutchison, or a Rice, or any of the other hangers-on who rode into office on George W.'s coattails.

That's what I think, anyhow.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

35. Well Fuck; At Least She Ain't A Bush.

[GoneOffShore]

37. She's a Pawlonia

Invasive, fast growing and hollow inside.

Or she's kudzu.

I'm sorry I never contributed to that thread.
