Here's the skinny on how the RNC is going to destroy Palin in 2011

[zulchzulu]

I've mentioned in the past about having a friend/associate who goes to RNC (Republican National Committee) meetings every now and then in DC, CA and Chicago.

He's a moderate but has a skill at helping Republicans get their media training and talking points to survive elections and such. He has also shared the opinions of the RNC leadership when it comes to Sarah Palin.

She is a mistake.

There is plenty of evidence that the McCain campaign made a huge mistake with her as VP nominee. She in turn has shot back at them in her "book" and basically committed the mortal sin of what Republicans do if they want to continue as viable Republicans. She. Is. Toast.

So, in an amusing exchange a while back, my friend told me some of the essential stories that would traumatize and bash about the head with persistent force the political viability of Sarah Palin as a Republican or even a third-party candidate, which they fear the most in 2012.

She has slept with many Republicans along the campaign trail. She has an open marriage with Todd. She really doesn't know jackshit about major issues and would be an embarrassment if she was left to her own behavior. She has lots of skeletons in her closet in Alaska that make silly banter like the Clinton's "Whitewater" travails look miniscule.

By the middle of 2011 when Republican candidates (most of them governors who actually served their terms) start announcing that they are running for President, you can yell a big "You Betcha!" that the RNC will be leaking stories to obliterate the Palin camp from all angles and have unreleased documents and other media to supplement their efforts to utterly destroy her.

That is all this will happen if she dares to even consider announcing a run for the Presidency. Otherwise, she will be left to make money off suckers who believe her crap, get dirty money from Fox News and continue to sleep around with the RNC muckety mucks who don't mind sloppy seconds.

Maybe there are RNC condoms with the Elephant logo.

[Mz Pip]

1. Well, one thing is obvious

Sarah doesn't know jack shit about major issues. At least that's one thing that I agree with the RNC about.

Thing is Sarah has an amazing ability to play the victim to her advantage. This should be interesting if she does decide to run.

[zulchzulu]

2. Sarah's "Victim" charade would play to her ever shrinking base

The "Poor Me" antic works in the 24/7 media for a day before the sharks smell blood and tear away at any last piece of meat left in the backwash.

[BrklynLiberal]

3. It would be interesting to see if the barracuda's fan start whining about how one's

private life does not affect one's ability to "govern". LOL

[livetohike]

4. She's already an embarrassment and it's going to be fun to

watch her being destroyed if the GOP establishment decides to do so. I'm wondering why the tabloid press hasn't gone after her. Surely the stories have to be out there :shrug: Maybe they are waiting for her to announce her candidacy before they tear her to shreds.

[On the Road]

5. It's Hard Being a Republican Maverick --

the party won't let you.

It will also be interesting with Limbaugh, Beck, and the other Palin sympathizers in the media. Internal dissention is inevitable.

And Palin seems to have a big enough ego to run third-party. That would be the death blow to Republican hopes for making Obama a one-term president.

[BeFree]

6. Third party?

A dream come true. Run, Sarah, run.!!

The dems know the bad stuff, too. And right now Sarah is the best thing going for the dems. She is a uniter.

[Catshrink]

7. Maybe this explains William Kristol's fascination with her.

[belpejic]

10. My guess is that Billy got some Saracuda love...

Gross on so many levels.

[Catshrink]

12. Even worse...

David Broder.

:puke:

[madinmaryland]

15. David Broder? I was thinking David Brooks.

Yeah its still a :wtf:

[Catshrink]

16. Brooks, too, I'd imagine

but Broder was the one mentioned as falling all over her in a thread this morning:

[JoePhilly]

35. Now my stomach hurts.

[BuelahWitch]

62. Everybody on here ignores me when I call her Miss Alaska Golden Knee Pads

I've worked with too many unqualified female bosses and Sarah's got knee pad girl written all over her face. A woman that stupid doesn't get to be Governator because of her "family values." More than likely it's due to "other talents."

[win_in_06]

64. Have you worked with any unqualified male bosses?

What "other talents" do they possess? There are plenty of reasons to oppose Palin other than sexism and the generation of rumors.

[BuelahWitch]

68. Tons of 'em

Most who were the son of the bosses friend, or a friend of the boss, or some such thing. When I worked at Unisys, a couple transferred from managing the hardware division to managing the software division, of which they didn't know jack shit. But they had "seniority," so when their division went to Mexico, they waddled to the next building to ruin ours.

Palin is a dumbshit. Why don't you tell me how a dumbshit woman with no gov't experience gets to be Governor of Alaska?

[katandmoon]

8. So did she really give birth to Trig or not?

[katanalori]

19. nope, no way

Took A LOT to turn me into a "trig truther," believe me. I could not fanthom that ANYONE in the public eye would fake a pregnancy, but I am now convinced.

http://palingates.blogspot.com/search/label/babygate

[Blue_In_AK]

23. I hear ya, K

I've been trying not to believe this, too. It's just SO out there, but the more you read, the more you have to wonder. The big question is WHOSE baby is he. I just don't think he's Bristol's, despite all the anomalies.

[spotbird]

33. She always has her family with her

it's hard to believe she could run around when she is watched so carefully.

[Blue_In_AK]

22. THAT is the question.

If it turns out that she didn't, and there's proof, she really will be toast.

[riderinthestorm]

36. I think the Trig issue is the only thing that will bring her down

The batshit insane who are her 20 - 30% hardcore followers won't be dissuaded. They only listen to their own rightwing outlets who will catapult the propaganda regarding their Sarah.... And she WILL have a cover story for the scams, affairs and other dirty shit she's pulled in Alaska.

But Trig? Trig is the holy child, the blessed being that Sarah has used as her very own powerful totemic symbol of all that she is: mother, pro-life, conservative, religious, etc. etc. If it turns out that whole thing is a fake, that Trig really is someone else's and that Sarah faked that pregnancy? Now THAT would bring her house tumbling down and (imho) send her back to AK forever.

[smoogatz]

9. Evidently a pre-emptive strike has already been launched.

But it's most likely bullshit, with just enough obvious truth thrown in (of course she doesn't know shit about the issues--she's a complete moron) to make it sound believable. I'll believe the sex bit when I see the video--sounds like somebody's little RNC wet-dream to me.

[jaysunb]

26. Check

:thumbsup:

[old mark]

11. Very interesting-The "real" GOP has condemned moderates for years, to where

they think McCain is a Liberal and Specter actually became a Democrat, and now they are trying to get away from their extreme right wing.

By November, they may have 5000 people in the whole party.


Their convention will be at the Motel 6 in Tulsa.

You GO, GOPers!!!!!


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

mark

[hisownpetard]

42. I think their convention should be at the Motel 666. More appropriate!

[bluestateguy]

13. If she runs as a third party candidate, I will give her money

and would urge others to do so too.

[Dappleganger]

14. So her being a blathering idiot isn't enough for them to dump her?

So they'll resort to the rumor mill to get their person of choice in place. Sounds like a solid RW plan to me!

[burning rain]

17. "National Review" is usually a good barometer of the opinion of the GOP's big money.

And that magazine has been notably tepid on Palin (ditto The Washington Moony Times). They endorsed Romney in 2008, by the way. They, like the GOP big money that keeps them afloat, want a sober business-oriented candidate who keeps the social conservatives content and voting the right way, not a loose cannon like Palin with her moments of alarming populism like whacking Wall Street, and her having presided over, and praised, Alaska's frankly socialistic public ownership of energy resources.

[Blue_In_AK]

24. She had to praise that here.

Public ownership of the resources is written into our constitution.

[burning rain]

55. All the same, her displays of enthusiasm for it were too much for the boys at NR.

.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

18. She may not be a big hit in the Repuke party, but she's big enough that if the Repukes

stab her in the back, she can siphon off about 15 to 20 percent of Repukes who will follow her over the cliff. If she can divide the Repukes, we win, hands down!!

[mkultra]

20. i think its HOT that she sleeps around.

[Joe Bacon]

30. Did someone hack into her Ashley Madison account?

:rofl:

[burning rain]

53. Palin certainly has the ability to appeal to people at their level.

.

[NeoGreen]

21. This could be too good to be true....

If she does announce and attempts to make a run she could be the trigger that rips the GOP apart.

I hope she does try (with reservations because you never know what DIEBOLD will do) forcing the GOP powers-that-be to throw every dirty trick at her.

If so, it would be time to sit back and...
:popcorn:

[zulchzulu]

25. I'd love it if she got nominated, but the RNC will NEVER let it happen

The corporate interests would never allow for her to be the front person for the GOP when it really gets down to brass tacks.

[jaysunb]

27. Palin is nothing more than a "diversion."

a distraction...a shiny object.

Beware


:evilfrown:

[golfguru]

28. You got it figured out better than most here...Sarah is the Trojan Horse

She is the TROJAN HORSE who will attract all the media scrutiny
as election 2012 gets closer, and the favored wazir will fly under
the radar. I tend to concur with the theme that RNC will destroy her
at appropriate time.

[Divine Discontent]

29. she's already TOAST. There's not enough insane tea bag members to get her elected in the big states

but I love seeing the news where they attack each other. Maybe we'll all get lucky soon enough and Palin will go after McCain directly in her slams. HA

[golfguru]

44. She is not toast so far as media attention is concerned

I see more news items about her than most others.
The more she is exposed, the worse is her favorability ratings.

[tanyev]

31. I'm hoping for a mutual assured destruction.

[spotbird]

32. Sex doesn't matter unless you're a Democrat

Now if they'd catch her with the drugs she is obviously using, that's another matter.

[Phx_Dem]

34. She's going to be GOP roadkill. No question.

Can't wait!

:popcorn:

[Cartoonist]

37. coulda, woulda, shoulda

I don't believe there is anything unknown about Sarah. There is absolutely no point in hiding a juicy story. Maybe something will turn up, but no one is sitting on anything that could bring her down now.
Also, the recent palm pilot story proves that it will take something nuclear to take Sarah down. Her fan base is too smitten and will forgive her for murder. Trig isn't hers? That just makes her more compassionate in claiming he is. Actual crimes? Political attacks, you mean. Sex? Can teabaggers get any harder-on?
No, I can't think of a thing that will turn her supporters away.

[JoeyT]

38. That would be pretty awesome.

She views herself as a victim and will gleefully attack her former party until they're both destroyed.
When she goes down in flames she'll be pointing fingers all the way to the ground.
Even if she doesn't, her followers are spiteful idiots. They'll probably vote for a Democrat just to get back at the Republican party.

[Brother Buzz]

39. Sarah darling is a stalking horse - nothing more, nothing less

[windbreeze]

40. I'd suggest, after reading this thread...that we NEVER underestimate an opponent

NO matter who it might be, including Sarah Palin...it seems to me, that she's managed to keep herself up there, front and center, since she arrived on the scene....some people love her, and think she's God's gift to the point that it borders on a mania of some sort...if the R's want to destroy her...I suggest they start soon...because...after all, they put her on the ticket with McCain...gonna make their judgment look pretty questionable...especially if they won't want it to backfire...wb

[Joe Bacon]

41. Windbreeze, I remember 1977 all too well

I STILL remember back in 1977 when the Sunday Morning Gassbags laughed off Reagan. And the press, especially the New York Times and Washington Post (back when they were still newspapers) led the press laughing Reagan off.

They are doing the same thing to Palin now that they did to Reagan then. And she is following Reagan's playbook to the last letter.

DO NOT LET HER GET AWAY WITH IT AGAIN!

[iceman66]

58. Palin is much more of a polarizing figure than Reagan,

and the media is hardly 'laughing her off'.

Quite the contrary. They are doing everything they can to promote her as a serious candidate.

She just keeps shooting herself in the foot!

[era veteran]

65. I knew we were too smart to elect Reagan

Woops!!

[RoadRage]

43. This is good for Democrats, but actually VERY BAD FOR REPUBLICANS

If by now you are still a Palin supporter - there is NOTHING that can be said about the woman that is negative that you will believe. You've gotten to this point on your delusion. You believe anything she says, even if there is a bucket of proof to the contrary.

So, what this means is that the RNC can "unleash" story after story about how Palin slept with this guy or that guy, and Palin just says back "Those mean GOPers are after me.. they don't like my folksyness and they're making it up".. and her followers believe her. And they get more mad at the GOP for saying it in the first place.

Half of the GOP loves Palin. Half hate her. If she wins, the GOP is screwed.. because Independents don't like her. If she loses, she possibly runs as an Independant - and she takes her Tea-Baggers with her. Not nearly enough to win, but plenty enough to spite the GOP and take a big enough chunk to make sure that whoever is running can't beat Obama.

The likelyhood of Palin running as an Independant isn't huge. Many here thought (and were hoping) that Hillary would do the same thing and split the DNC. Didn't happen... but Clinton is far more sane then Palin - so there is always the hope!

[divineorder]

45. Head honchos think they can thwart her

But if teabaggers become a majority of the delegates in enough states, that may be enough to make it dangerous to do so. Easing her out then may lead to a split in the Republican Party wide enough for Obama to get a second term.

What's worse is that there's nobody with even close enough charisma to keep them on the reservation if Palin is thwarted. They won't line up dutifully behind Romney or any of the usual suspects, who will be trying to please both an increasingly rabid right and at the same time not scare away moderates. Buchanan-Bush awaits the GOP in 2012.

And anyone who moves far enough right to gain the teabaggers will scare away moderates who want good government, good, sane government.

[AlinPA]

61. The fundamentalists and teabaggers are the republican party. They will have the delegates

at their convention and will not tolerate a ticket without Palin on it.

[SKKY]

46. Nah. It's much, much easier than that.

They'll just let her keep talking. She'll obliterate herself.

48. My bet is that they have video.

And they will use it.

[RainDog]

51. she could make some money by selling it.

honestly. take the money, Sarah and go home.

[Smashcut]

49. Palin may have been a mistake but the pukes are very deliberately putting her front and center.

They will put her out there, let her look ridiculous. She'll be the target of all the scorn directed at Republicans for their regressive ideas and obstructionist tactics. Then, in 2011 they'll take her down and put a RWer in her place who will look "reasonable" by comparison.

[RainDog]

50. calling the National Enquirer! I want to know the name of those Palin allegedly slept around with

in her "open marriage." paternity tests all around!

[totodeinhere]

52. I gotta believe that if there is any truth to these rumors it would have come out already.

The Enquirer or others like them would have no reason to hold off on something like this just because the RNC wants to wait until 2011. I just don't buy it.

[theothersnippywshrub]

54. I agree. Shadow Governor Dude is not the type to share his property like that. n/t

[HillWilliam]

59. Unless he's dippin' his wick wherever he pleases

and he seems every bit the type. She seems every bit the type to lay it on the line "what's sauce for the goose is gravy for the gander" and if he's gonna, she's gonna too. Or "deer Sairey" will law-up and make sure to take the houses, the cars, the kids, and cry in court and play the victim (which she's expert at) to get it. She's got a chance of coming off as a sympathetic figure. Tawwd exudes snake-breath.

I have no problem envisaging that little threat going down in the Palin household.

[RainDog]

56. I don't believe it either. tho I would like it to be true

because, if it is true, it will put the talibornagains and the wahabbaptists off big time. I'm all for anything that suppresses their voter turn out.

[themaguffin]

57. yeah that part doesn't quite add up. they don't need it to bring her down anyway

she already provides well more than enough to bring down her future.

i'm not convinced she wants to run. she's a whore. she's in it for the money. she quit for the big money that she could get if she acted NOW.

[Top Cat]

60. Kick

[TexasObserver]

63. Plausible. The GOP is terrified of Palin.

The GOP created the Tea Baggers to help them attack the president but maintain some distance. But the tea baggers have gone independent and are planning for themselves now. They're challenging sitting Republicans for local and national offices. The GOP in places like Texas finds themselves flanked on the right by the tea baggers.

Sarah Palin represents the biggest threat to the GOP because she could lead the tea baggers into a third party presidential run like Ross Perot did, or others before him. A third party run from the right would potentially cost the GOP many seats and any chance of the presidency.

The GOP has to take her down by mid 2011.

[styersc]

66. Palin knows that everything that is printed here is true.

That's why she is cashing in right now. Make as much cash as she can on her noteriety and the fame she has in the circle of dupes and then when the bombs start falling she will blame the Main Stream Media and crawl back to Alaska to count her money.

[Vinca]

67. If she makes it to the New Hampshire primary, I'll switch over to vote for her.

If enough Dems do that, we can ruin any Republican plans for a non-Palin nominee.
