Where is this "HUUUGGEEE " following for Palin I keep hearing R commenters talk about? |
|
One by one they come on teevee and preface their comments with this statement. Given that 58% of people polled definitely would not vote FOR her and only 9% said they would definitely vote for her, this statement does not jive with reality. Not one person calls them on it.

2. You have to use the glen beck +/- intricate rationale |
|
The "only 9%" you refer could actually be 84% saying they would definitely vote for her. Its right wing radio math. I've yet to get a teabagger to answer the question - "were you denied the right to vote in 2008?" Totally irrelevant logic to a "patriot" going to a tea party.
And did you know that that "only 9%" has the rest of us surrounded?

3. Help me with the math -- what's 60% of 20% of the electorate? |

Edited on Tue Nov-17-09 01:49 PM by rvablue
I keep hearing all of these numbers and yes, the numbers do NOT match the hype.
I've heard it over and over that 60% of Republicans would vote for her for President. Impressive, right? Actually, not. Because these same cablecritters also keep telling me that only 20% of the American electorate still identify as Republicans.
So, her support isn't the grand sounding 60% of Republicans. More realistically put, it's actually 60% of 20% of the American electorate.
Someone help me with the math. Let's see how abyssmal her fan club actually is.
And, sorry, the "big" book sales don't prove a single thing except that there are a couple of millions idiots in the country who are going to slap down some coin for her book. With or without the book, I wouldn've estimated this group of ideological voters to number several million more --- why aren't they buying her book? The fact remains, that there aren't enough of them to support (and vote for) a national candidate.

4. Hannity will pull out his ol' "9/12 Tea Bagger's Moment" video... |
|
...and claim they're Palin supporters at a "Palin 2012" rally...until someone calls him on his horseshit, then he'll "apologize" and say it was "unintended..."

I wouldn't have heard squat about her or Levi since the election if not for her loyal following here posting about her every comment and move.

I'm surrounded by right-leaning types at work and I can only think of one that goes out of his way to slobber over her.
"She doesn't talk like the rest of them!" he said one day.
I told him it was because most politicians who rise to a certain level are educated.

These freaks are everywhere around here, it's like they've found somebody that makes them feel better about their own insecurities, someone "like them".
