Six days before the general election, Sarah Palin has thrown her hat in the ring for 2012. Certainly sounds like Sarah Palin is expecting to LOSE on November 4th!

The McCain campaign is reportedly, "speechless."

1. Unlike most of your better parasites, she is (politically) killing the host.

  And I, for one, cannot wait- Tomorrow? The day after? When McCain breaks open like a rotten melon and thousands of little Sarah Palins swarm over his twitching body. She is definitely getting ready to hatch out, that's for sure.

12. Oh my God, I will not be able to sleep with that image!

You are a SCIFI nut too? I have to print this off for my husband, he will love it. So very appropriate for this warped pair. Thanks!

[Believing Is Art]

20. Alright I'm hitting the showers

That mental image might require that I bathe in bleach.

[Boudica the Lyoness]

30. She hasn't evolved enough to keep the host alive.

Lucky for us she doesn't believe in that kind of thing so she won't mutate.

[dixiegrrrrl]

31. Bleeeahhh mind pic.....acccckk

:puke: :puke: :puke:


Very accurate, but...shudder.

[LuckyEmily25]

39. palin

Its only a matter of time before mccain does "break open like a rotten melon" hes too ripe as we speak, and she will will swarm palin 2012 anyone? sic

2. McCain

should just forfeit now, blame it all on party elders and try to keep a shred of decency (if it exists in the first place). McCain: "I never wanted to be the nominee I was just forced out here unprepared and forced to pick another unprepared person. I love this country and was fed talking points month after month. I think it was a setup, I hope you guys don't all think I'm the sum of ignorance to reality in my party. Hey it was all the RNC baby! I'm voting for Obama, my friends."

[ultraist]

7. Welcome to DU MakesMoves!

Your plan sounds like McCain's best option at this point.

How embarrassing his campaign has become. Now his own hand picked running mate is out doing national interviews basically saying she expects their ticket will LOSE the election. These types of comments from a candidate, before a campaign is over, are sacrilege. Sarah Palin is a rookie and a rogue. Loyal to no one but herself, it seems.

[MakesMoves]

13. Thank You So Much, Really

Thanks! I've always been meaning to join and post but i settled for taking the sites videos and putting them on my iphone and providing video proof to mccain-palin supporters that their candidates are morons. Sorta worth it. However it does sadden me a little that I may have started posting as the window of victory is blown wide open. We clearly have a str8 path to the white house and a wider dem majority (if that means something nowadays - dem majority) not taking anything for granted but it's ours to lose and we may even have a mandate this time next week after what i predict will be a 10 point blow out. Case in point; what will I have to post about when Obama wins? Prob/Hopefully not that much.

And on Palin....she is so sabotaging her own party. Someone should check to see if she's a closet Dem. Palin needs to secede herself.

[psychmommy]

38. we'll be posting about how we are going to bring this country

back. we are going to fuss at and support each other. we are gonna push for prosecution of the war criminals. we are gonna fight until the troops come home from iraq. we have alot on our plates. it doesn't end with the election-that is when the real work starts. i can't wait and i hope you'll be ready to work too.

[bugisbug]

40. I'm with you!

Let's get to work!!! :patriot:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

35. Welcome to DU!

If only he would. At this point, he's going to keep making an ass of himself.
Duckie

[Fire1]

49. If ONLY he had that much sense!

[silverweb]

3. Too funny!

It would be a 6-ring circus and she would be absolutely wonderful shark bait!

If we think the crazies are coming out of the woodwork now, just watch screwball Sarah try to make a run for prez in 4 years.

:rofl:

[Caliman73]

61. She won't make it 4 years

Her fucking head is so big that she thinks she is invulnerable like DeLay did in the House. She'll be up to her beady eyes in scandals within 2 years and be gone from the political scene in disgrace.

[silverweb]

80. You're probably right.

But I can't help but think about how entertaining it would be for her to try. :D

[Faith No More]

4. There is just no end to this goddamn egotistical bitch!Thanks a lot McCain you stupid old bastard!!

[MakesMoves]

10. Be Happy

this is GREAT news for the Dems. Palin is a cakewalk. We get 4 yrs to vet her!? Unless Romney gets real and puts Ms. Palin in her place in the back of the right-wing fringe candidates then we should all sigh a breath of relief and gratitude. Palin's all they got left? The RNC is even disenfranchising anyone in their ranks who dont show support for the Hockey Mommy!

[pedo]

5. you reap what you sow

they created a monster. the republican party deserves sarah palin.

[ihavenobias]

15. Amen n/t

[Xipe Totec]

6. Czarina Palin-I will not abdicate, the sheeple need her!

[childslibrarian]

8. More ambition than sense......

Was my astute husband's observation!

She is going to be the next Ron Paul. She has just the lost mainstream Republican Party. What betrayal! What non-professionalism! Amazing stupidity! Can you imagine how McCain Feels about her comments? I know how I would feel!
She is just great...at being a moron.

[MakesMoves]

16. Ron Paul

would have better served the republican party, AND Obama would have had more to debate with. Issues first!!!

[childslibrarian]

18. You are right, sorry to Ron Paul.

:bounce:

[benld74]

11. OF Course they vetted her!!

[kayakjohnny]

14. How detached and clueless does one have to be to pull off something like this.

I can't get away with this crap in real life and I don't even try. How f'd does your mind have to be, and how delusional to even think you are a relevant public figure who will remain on the scene for more than, say.... about 5 more days. As an arbitrary sort of figure.

[Poll_Blind]

17. She sees exactly how impotent McCain is as a leader and her own...

...megalomania eggs her on to fill that void.

PB

[kayakjohnny]

21. Plus, she's all about conflict and disruption and divisiveness. So that is how she

governed Alaska and that is how she will always govern. Except the part about her never governing anything ever again.

[childslibrarian]

23. But let's face it

It is SO unprofessional at this stage in the game and it says to the Repub money guys that she is unpredictable and unhinged.
She has just dumped her major financial supporters. They will not go for someone like that.

[Poll_Blind]

29. At this stage of the game, as you say, it is not only unprofessional but...

...it exists as a "vote of no confidence" by the VP against her running-mate in a United States Presidential Election. Now that's historic! I cannot think of any time in the last 30 years at least when a VP's own personality disorder has done so much to drag down a presidential campagin!

  And I, for one, am doing the happy dance!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Fuck you, crazy Republican fucks while you fuck each other- cause you're fucking nuts!

PB

[Number23]

45. Unpredictable and unhinged are right

The idea that she thinks anyone will remember her name this time next year, let alone be the Repub nominee for Pres in 2012 is stunning. Mind blowing.

[Narkos]

19. She's going to be crushed after the election

Either Romney or someone else is just going to squish her like a bug. There's going to be a civil war in the GOP, and boy, is it going to be fun to watch!:popcorn:

[HillbillyBob]

50. So long as they don't kill innocent bystanders, but then

again look at all of the innocents killed in Iraq and Afghanistan for instance, then again
you have hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Wilma, Ivan .........

[frog92969]

22. I thank McCain every day for Sarah Palin

She's the gift that keeps on giving.

[childslibrarian]

25. You are so right

It shows a reckless choice on McCain's part, no vetting, no checking her out...
It shows what happens when a candidate gets impatient with his "handlers".

[frog92969]

32. She's not only helping to crush McCain...

but also bringing the Dark Age mentality of the Repugs and Religious Right to the attention of mainstream America.

We couldn't have picked a better VP candidate for him ourselves.

[Snazzy]

69. exactly. Right on! She's a cone head

(had to get this out there before election--her $4K makeover kinda put this on hold)

[dbonds]

24. She starting to believe her own hype, this is going to be fun.

[Poll_Blind]

26. Two days from now this will be overshadowed by: "Palin attacks McCain with steak knife!"

We need to plant more popcorn in this country!

:popcorn:

PB

[childslibrarian]

27. I know Olbermann says she is a fraud

But I think the word for her is "grandiosity".

[Boudica the Lyoness]

28. This is what I like about her!

She's too stupid to know she's stupid.
She's so stupid she thinks everyone else is stupid as well.
You go girl! Please run for the top job in 2012. Maybe James Dobson could be her running mate. Any other ideas for her VP?

[norepubsin08]

62. 'Joe" the plumber

[MrMickeysMom]

77. Here's one...

Make sure you tell everyone that YOUR God is better than THEIR God.... repeat, lather, rinse...

:-)

[MissDeeds]

33. Like my husband said

"She's too stupid to know how stupid she is." Unfortunately, the same is true of the neocons who will vote for her.

[swishyfeet]

34. Oh goody!

[dgibby]

52. Uh no 'cause she doesn't like cats.

Another reason I can't stand her!

[dixiegrrrrl]

36. There's only one sane explaination.

She's a Dem plant, and a hell of an actress.

[liberaltrucker]

37. Maybe she's really Tina Fey

Think about it. Were TF and SP onstage together on SNL?

:tinfoilhat:

[Old and In the Way]

41. Her plans for 2012 is waaaay premature.

She's yet to release her medical records....why?

Possible reasons-

Medication history?
Only 4 kids?
Abortion?

We can only speculate why a seemingly healthy VP candidate can't seem to release her medical history.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

42. How many times can I say that she is delusional?

[Canuckistanian]

43. She's already "waved the white flag"

Buh-bye, Sarah and John.

[Number23]

44. Dems hate her. Indies loathe her. And all 17 intelligent Republicans despise her

Tell me again why in God's green earth this woman thinks she has a chance of running for Pres in 2012???

Because the cretinous fools in Bumblefuck, USA like her and think she's cool??? Does she honestly think there's enough of them for her to win ANYTHING in 2012???

Whatever she and Bush have taken their whole lives that gives them this immense confidence when they are both the dumbest, most incompetent, damn near illiterate things to come out of America I will never understand.

[Night_Nurse]

46. Divine justice... :-) nt

[clarkgabe]

47. Wow, just WOW

McCain has proven himself to be the biggest fool in modern American Presidential candidate history. I had a feeling about this when he picked her, but she really has been the gift that keeps on giving.

Go Phillies!

[Orsino]

48. "...she'd be interested in remaining a serious national figure..."

She's a national joke, and will be largely forgotten by 2010.

By next Halloween, Palin costumes will be marked waaaaay down.

[GinaMaria]

51. That gives the media 4 years to thoroughly vet her!

With all her corruption, lies, etc. she may be easy to beat in 2012. With the backing of crazy fundies, she might have the money and the coaching needed to make her a contender. At any rate, it sounds like she is signaling the 'base' not to vote on Tues and wait it out for four years so they can have her and not have to settle for McLame. Maybe I'm reading too much into this? :shrug:

On Edit:
This seems like a bloodless coup in the repuke party. McLame was just usurped. This woman is feeling empowered by something. I think she's getting a lot of energy from the fundies. In any case it is bad form. It makes her look terrible and will not likely be forgotten that she cut McCain's throat in the last days of the campaign.

I hope this is the end of the repub party. I can't help but imagine that moderate and even right of moderate repukes will switch to Dem and leave republicanism to the extreme fringe base. I think it will be the Dem party that ultimately separates into the two main parties, maybe something more along the lines of Greens and Dems? Either way, it will be common sense folks who work together, who care about this country, who love this country. And the extreme fringe who will be marginalized. The right has had an unholy alliance of various groups, they may not hold together much longer, especially with Fundie Palin taking the reins.

[tavalon]

72. It only took the netroots one week to vet her

[Delphinus]

53. I'll have to watch in the morning ...

if I did it now, I'd have nightmares!!!

[bertman]

54. RUN, SARAH, RUN!!!

Boy would I like to be a fly on the wall when McCain's infamous temper kicks in and he bites her pretty little head off.

She be ridin in the back of the Straight Talk bus now, babee.


Please, please, Sarah, more interviews. Please.

[Evoman]

55. Off topic...are my speakers crackling or is the video just sort of bad.

I just finished building this comp and I'm not sure if my speakers are crackling.

[Dems4me]

56. McCain's an idiot he still can't see she only used him & that party (IMHO) to further herself. n/t

[kevintporter]

57. Jon Stewart Tonight

The Daily Show had an excellent piece on Palin and Joe the Plumber "going rogue", along with a great interview with the next President of the United States. Check it out when it's up on motherload.

[AzNick]

58. I actually hope she runs and is their candidate

So that we can kick their collective ass again.

[Indenturedebtor]

59. YES PLEASE YES RUN PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Can you imagine a straight Pailin v Obama matchup? :rofl:

Brutal!

Hell... can you imagine Pailin v Functioning Brain? My dog knows more about politics than that halfwit nazi.

[michaelsbill111]

60. oh sarah,

Ok no Sarah Palin fan at all, but the hype to this story did not fit the facts. You can't really get all of that (running in 2012) from that one comment. In four years to many of her skeletons will fall out her closet.

[RainDog]

65. The vp for a presidential campaign DOES NOT admit any idea of defeat

ONE WEEK before the election.

the reason they don't do this is because people who planned to vote for them would stay home - the candidate has said it's lost, so why go through the motion.

It's a HUGE political gaffe. McCain's campaign rep. was dumbfounded that they found such a dumb person to be the vp candidate. The two camps have been fighting for days... Whack Job, He Bought My Clothes, Not Me...

And, whether true or not, it looks like an "attempted coup" of the party. She is breaking ranks, breaking party discipline...tearing down the actual candidate...the one who actually won the primary. She's on the ticket to bring in the religious right and racists and that's the part of the party she represents.

The Republican Party is being ripped to shreds by the religious right. Palin is their candidate.

If the RNC does nothing, then the Palinites take control of the republican party. Praying Palin - hmmm, I see a photoshop in my future.

[RainDog]

66. It's sort of like this

[live love laugh]

64. Wolf....hmmmmm. Doesn't Palin shoot those?????

WHY is he reading her words instead of playing her actual comments to Vargas? The RW is protecting Palin while helping her to "Go Rogue" as they now are so fond of saying. The Go Rogue bit smacks of Rove--Why don't they just say "Go Rove"?

[road2000]

67. That pig deserves a political burial.

McCreep would do himself a favor if he dumped her tomorrow.

[Swamp Rat]

68. Hissssssssss!

:D

[opihimoimoi]

70. Her Secret Mission is to make the Democrats look good, sound better, the only choice

She is doing a very good job.....

The GOP = Comedy of ERRORS.....

[tavalon]

71. Yes! Run, Baby, Run!

Sarah Palin is the best thing that ever happened to the Democrats! She is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Can you imagine her on a stage debating President Obama? Oh, the sweet, sweet image.

[minnesota_liberal]

73. Keep pretending to be an "A Ticket" politician, Sarah

Some sheeple will believe you.

6 years as mayor of Podunk, Alaska, less than 2 years as governor of an oil-rich federal welfare state with no budgetary problems, a BS degree in Communications, no significant international exposure, a warped view of the VP's responsibilities and an inability to articulate anything but the most basic policy positions means Sarah Palin is completely unqualified.

[Enrique]

74. Palin / Joe the Plumber 2012!

:bounce:

[marions ghost]

76. right

:applause::spray:

[DS1]

75. She still doesn't know what the Vice President does, so it's logical for her to run for President

That's how it works in the executive circles, anyway.

[wtmusic]

78. Um, this is bullshit.

Listen to the original interview, then tell me she in any way shape or form is "throwing her hat into the ring" for 2012 (last two questions - skip to end.).

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Politics/story?id=6142799&page=1

Wolfie is wrong.

[spin]

79. Well she is a "maverick". What did McCain expect? (n/t)

[KansDem]

81. A "rogue maverick." How unique...

What's she going to run as in 2012? An "individualist rogue maverick," after which, when she loses she'll run in 2016 as a "rugged individualist rogue maverick?"

[lies and propaganda]

82. Can you sink your own battleship?

i bet they can see it sinking all the way to Russia ;0

[Naturyl]

83. Country first, eh?

This is what happens when you get involved with selfish people. They put themselves first... duh. LOL.

[Conza88]

84. *sigh*

Lord help us all...

[Lil Missy]

85. Oh for fuck sakes, she's delusional. She'd never make it to a Primary.

And to bring 2012 up now is so politically stupid. No wonder the McBush campaign is ready to strangle her.

[windoe]

86. The Ring of Power is ~too precious~ to her

who in their right mind bids out loud for a future election???? Yikes.
