Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you your source of all comedy for the next 4 years. Sarah Palin’s PAC is preparing her for a 2012 run for the Presidency, and the nutjob running the show happens to be a Scientologist.
Oh PLEASE make Scientology part of the 2012 campaign. I can’t wait to hear the following phrases uttered during the campaign in all of their delicious irony.
- “Hollywood Elites“
- “He’s not a Christian!” (or any of the various variants of NonXtianphobia)
- “Traditional Values”
Palin doesn’t have a snowballs chance of beating Obama in 4 years, 14 years, 40 years, or 400 years. She’s stupid, corrupt, and completely beholden to the very worst parts of the Republican party. Catering to that base will lose elections. Sound fiscal and regulatory policies are the only thing that will win an election in the foreseeable future, and a platform of “return to the past” isn’t going to win her any votes.
- Lower taxes, but balance the budget.
- Reduce needless regulation, but enforce the regulations you do have.
- Promote both sides of Laissez-Faire capitalism and allow unsuccessful businesses to fail and allow new talent to enter the markets. (Are you listening, AIG?)
Here’s the thing, and you heard it here first. If Obama accomplishes even half of all of the things he has said that he will do (condensed list “Get us out of Iraq”, “Health care reform”, “Energy independence, no foreign oil”, “Cut deficit in half in 4 years”, “Get Bin Laden”, “Education reform”) you could run Jesus H. Christ, Himself, as a candidate in 4 years and he wouldn’t stand a chance. The economy could still be in the toilet in four years, but it won’t matter if Obama is successful in building the foundation that he has promised. Bad times are completely tolerable IF (and this is a big, HUGE, if…) people see that relief is coming. I’m not talking about empty promises. I mean real, tangible signs that things are heading in the right direction.
Of course, if the Republicans insist on running Lady Chuzzlewit in 3 years, Obama could win a debate simply by managing not to shit himself while on stage.
Expect Us.
Just think about how much fun a Romney (Mormon) vs. Palin (Scientology) GOP primary would be. There are Daily Show writers that are wetting themselves with glee over the possibility right now.
I hear people in the GOP saying that McCain’s defeat has brought about real change in the party (or will). Sadly, I think the GOP is going to continue doing what it’s always done despite the market (voters) rejection.
You nailed it. The Democrats have adapted, and now the Republicans must… Or else.
The problem is, even if the GOP changes overnight. The next campaign will be full of Republican “strawmen” representing the old GOP’s values. Having Limbaugh and Hannity as your mouthpieces isn’t helping either. Right or wrong, they represent a marginalist view that isn’t selling at the polls.
