Donks Continue to Fear Palin

[Gil Dobie]

Received this email yesterday from the Minnesota DFL Chairman. There are a lot of homeless, jobless, hungry people in the area that the donations could be better used to serve. xsmhx

Sarah Palin brought her dog-and-pony show to Minnesota today, holding a book signing and attending a high-dollar fundraiser to raise a lot of money for the House Republicans. Now we need your support to continue to fight against the embarrassing, divisive, partisan rhetoric that she, Tim Pawlenty and the Marty Seifert-Pat Anderson-Tom Emmer crowd are spouting across our state.

We are going to continue to battle that rhetoric with our positive message of change with you, our grassroots network. In the last election cycle we had nearly 4,500 supporters give $25 or less. Can you give $5, $10, $25 today?

Sarah Palin’s book, Going Rogue, is little more than a diary of personal grievances from the 2008 campaign and another publicity stunt in an effort to make herself seem relevant and legitimate. But recent polls show high disapproval ratings and that only a very small minority considers her qualified to be president. Nevertheless, Republicans across our state have jumped on her tea-party bandwagon, including Tim Pawlenty and all the Republican gubernatorial candidates.

We need your help to counteract the partisan, sensationalistic language. Please give $5, $10 or any amount today!

Not this Donk.

[travelinman67]

To every Donk male, she's their "wife"...a love/hate relationship...



...and to every Donk female, she's the woman next door...smarter than them...and who they and their husbands fantasize about when making love.

[dbackjon]

That is not fear - it is capatilism. Use your enemy to your advantage!!

[OSBF]

please, oh god please let her be the face of the republican party

[catamount man]

they are all in bed together making their livings off of all of us. They should all be shot and flayed whilst hanging from the gallows in the public square while the children bathe in their blood and the vultures consume their rotting flesh.

Maybe America deserves her in 2012.

Do I detect a hint of political disenchantment?

[Chizzang]

I can't figure out who these Democrats that fear Palin are..?
I've never met any - in fact just the opposite seems true - genuine glee seems more the case

I think this might be some kind of child psychology experiment or something..?

Seriously.

If the Republicans want to REALLY scare the Democrats then they should trot out a socially moderate fiscal conservative that is for a strong immigration policy and domestic security. Now THAT would scare the fvck out 'em!

yeah - watching that candidate die a thousand deaths in the primary would be terrifying...
you honestly think the 40% of the GOP that could easily be described politely as reactionary would ever let someone like that through?

I'm talking about the general election.....we all know that the Republican Party is too stupid now to do this.

Just trying to get a rise out of donkutopia, the Republicans do the same thing. Send the message to send money so "fill in the blank candidate" doesn't get elected. Maybe it's not so much fear as it is baiting the hook and fishing for suckers.

in campaign land, we have a saying: "negative moves money" - people hating Michele Bachmann is a far easier hook for money than liking her opponent...

Other than the Obama administration, how many people think the economy is going to recover any time soon? I've read predictions ranging from a flat jobless recovery to a w-shaped recession where the next dip is worse than the last. In any case, the working class is who will continue to suffer and there will sit Obama, the former mass appeal change artist turned friend of Wall Street heading into the 2012 election with having changed very little for the large block of middle class voters. The leading Republican candidate is Mitt Romney, but he too is a friend of Wall Street and certainly viewed as a member of the wealthy elite.

If things don't get better, I think there's a chance for a serious populist uprising of which a charming, charismatic, non-establishment, from humble beginnings, Palin candidacy could take advantage.

God forbid.

Both parties are heading toward extinction.......a Palin Presidency gives the Republicans a leg up.

I wish I shared your optimism - both parties deserve extinction
but I don't see that happening any time soon

Mainjeff described me to a tee. And millions of other disenfranchised "conservatives" as well. The problem is that that person would never make it through the primary cycle.

Fear? Not at all. The donks are going to take this money and donate it to...Sarah Palin as part of the effort to get Obama re-elected..

I thought that I saw Wedgie standing in line in front of Borders yesterday.

Fans meet Palin, get coveted autograph in the book

It was a lovefest.

Former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin descended on Billings and left no book unsigned Tuesday during a 21/2-hour blitz of Borders bookstore.

The conservative celeb did not address the crowd of several hundred people and did not take media questions, but she signed copies of her new memoir, “Going Rogue,” with a blistering proficiency that would have left Henry Ford breathless.

“So nice to meet you. Thanks for coming,” said Palin, shaking the hand of a young father with a toddler on his hip, followed by a petite older woman dressed as if she were headed to Christmas Mass, followed by a barrel-chested man in Carhartt bib overalls. The fans kept coming two books at a time. Palin kept signing.

Never happen, notwithstanding the growing number of independents. Parties provide organization and some ideological coherence. If the indies trend left, the Dems win; if they trend right, the GOP wins. People have been waiting for the great unifying "centrist party" for years, and the USA has never produced one.
