LOL of the day - Palin "seriously interested" in running for POTUS 2016

[fskimospy]

McCain was leading in the polls until the infamous Palin interview with Katie Couric.

Not really, Obama had a fairly clear and consistent lead for the vast majority of the campaign. There was a brief burst of positive polling for McCain around the beginning of September, but Obama was already winning again by the time the Couric interview aired. (September 24th)

Lol +1

I liked Palin, but she proved she was not nearly ready for the big time, and rather than make herself ready she decided to ignore the problem.

I'd still like to know who designed what she accomplished in Alaska though, because it obviously wasn't she.

The mark of a true leader! :awe:

Hmm.. I remember the campaigns be closer than that, but I think we can all agree that Palin did little to help McCain.

I would broadly agree. She gave him a burst of enthusiasm that he didn't have before, which quickly gave way to mockery and disdain. In the end she was a huge negative. Hell, I remember my friend's insanely racist dad who had never voted for a Democrat in his life, much less a black Democrat, vote for Obama simply because he was personally offended that McCain would pick someone so stupid as his running mate.

It's hard for me to imagine any way McCain, or any Republican really, would have won that election though. The only way would have been had Obama melted down in some spectacular fashion I think.

In my perfect world, Palin would end up running against Clinton, and in their first debate an ass-kicking granny fight between the two would break out. Hillary would win by faking an heart attack, then like a middie biddie in the grips of a severe menopausal episode she launches a surprisingly maniacal yet graceful leap at Palin and applies a cankle lock around Palin's sultry neck forcing Palin to tap out. Thus proving that middle age, a hot bod, a winky eye and ample boobies are no match for old age, a turkey neck, arm wings and treachery.

I don't want to see either in the office. The advantage of Palin could be that she might not find her way out of the lady's room for four years. Hillary might pass away before she starts another Neocon's dream or make the NSA even more of a domestic threat, but we don't know who her costar would be. Maybe Palin?

Oh lord, that was an awful thing. I hadn't paid much attention until after the interview and at that point it was clear that McCain was dead. It was merely a political zombie after that opposing the Democrats, but I had zombie suspicions before then

I suppose this shows how disconnected from reality she is - she was one of the reasons McCain lost.

But if McCain is her vice prez then she has to win. It's simple logic.

 

[MixMasterTang]

Liberals love to laugh, but the fact of the matter they get seriously trounced when Palin starts debating them.

That's far from a debate. Debates actually involve live back and forth and Palin usually looks like a moron when she doesn't have her writers tell her exactly what to say.

Trump getting in on the party, too:

Statistically, what % of the vote is dedicated to votng for whoever has the best tits?

 

[DrPizza]

Hmm.. I remember the campaigns be closer than that, but I think we can all agree that Palin did little to help McCain.

She was an asset to the McCain candidacy very briefly. It was "who? Governor? Attractive, female, and being a governor isn't too shoddy of a resume." Then it started to sink in, "governor of the population of a medium sized city." And, then a bit of digging up dirt, as well as her opening her mouth. Then, "McCain picked her? That's an example of pretty poor decision making."

How would McCain have done with Romney as VP? Or Jeb Bush? I'd bet he would have done much better. And, Romney might have had a chance, receiving a little less scrutiny and not having as many opportunities to stick his foot in his mouth.

As opposed to voting for the biggest boob?

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Speaking of boobies perhaps she knows Proust?

 

[zinfamous]

I would have voted for the 2000 McCain but not the 2008 McCain, hell no!

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Palin, Trump, Huckabee, and Perry in 2016? It's like Crazy's gettin' the band back together.

My mind went to this immediately

 

[bradly1101]

One thing Palin has going for her is that if she was president she'd probably bring about the end of western civilization, bringing about a new world order where bespectacled rats rule the earth.

 

[doubledeluxe]

I'd vote for her over Hilary any day

LOL

Really? Come on now.

 

[Mxylplyx]

If there is one belief that should be able to cross party lines, it is that Sarah Palin is an idiot, and that anyone who believes she is fit to be president should not be qualified to vote. There are many things I am vehemently opposed to that I think still warrant a healthy debate, but this isnt one of them. Support for Sarah Palin is an absolute litmus test on whether one is an idiot or not, and I see we have at least one in this thread. My mother unfortunately is another one.

If you are talking about me, then you failed my litmus test for stupidity.

Defending against a couple unjustified criticisms is not the same as supporting her for president. I would not vote for her either, genius. I am simply pointing out the sustained character assassination that has led to a delusional public perception.

 

[bshole]

Bet you didn't know that there was a Sarah Palin news channel.

Apparently Palin is a cash cow with plenty of milk left to give.

 

[trenchfoot]

As I haven't had the privilege of discussing Palin's worthiness for high office with a devout Palin supporter face to face, mostly because I think none of them will even admit to it yet will vote for her if given the chance, I'm still at a loss as to why there are a multitude of Tea Party members that undoubtedly would vote to elect her for the presidency yet refuse to offer any compelling reason as to why they'd do such a thing.

This thread is a perfect example of the lack of compelling, reasonable and actionable evidence toward why she should get the nod over all other candidates.

I'm confident if given the chance, she'd get millions of votes nationwide in a presidential bid.

Out of curiosity, I'd like to know why that would be the case.
