Why would a Freeper post cr@p like this from a lib blog? If you belong to this site then you are no conservative. .... antceecee

1.) Most of what is posted on Free Republic is from liberal sources. The point of the FR Forum is to allow Freepers to rip apart what needs to be ripped.

2.) If Sarah Palin does not want to be trash tabloid fodder, then she really needs to have the common sense not to do a reality TV episode with Kate Gosselin, the reigning Queen of Trash Tabloids.

3.) Since when did the blind adoration of Sarah Palin become a litmus test for being a conservative? The "cult of personality" has always been one of the hallmarks of being a liberal.

I really don’t think it’s a good idea for Sarah Palin to be mingling with these F rate celebrities. There are already plenty of conservatives who don’t think she would make a serious presidential candidate. ...... Soothesayer

Count me among those conservatives who think so.

Right now, a serious presidential candidate (at the very least) would be wrapping up her FIRST term as Governor of Alaska. Instead, Sarah Palin is raking in $1 million per episode on a reality TV show that headlines trash tabloid fixture Kate Gosselin going camping so the audience can have a staged laugh.

What's next? Take Paris Hilton fishing and teach her how to bleed a king salmon before bringing it into the boat by cuttiing its gill artery so the audience can have an even bigger staged laugh?

That is not even cutting it with the reality TV crowd. Sarah Palin's reality TV ratings plummeted 40% from Week 1 to Week 2:

'Sarah Palin's Alaska' Ratings Plummet In Week 2 ..... "Sarah Palin's Alaska" set a TLC ratings record when it debuted to 5 million viewers last week, but the second episode showed a huge drop-off in viewership. Episode two of the Palin reality show averaged just 3 million viewers, down 40% from the previous week.

It is no wonder that, even with Barack Obama's poll number being lower than whale scat at the bottom of the ocean and most voters wanting him gone after the next presidential election, Sarah Palin is the single potential candidate that Barack Obama still beats like a redheaded stepchild.

An Associated Press-GfK survey released 11 days ago indicated that 54 percent thought Obama should be voted out of office in 2012 ....... According to the Quinnipiac poll ... Obama has a 48 to 40 advantage over Palin in a hypothetical general election matchup. The president also held an 8-point advantage, 52 to 44 percent, over the former Alaska governor in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation released two weeks ago.

Sarah Palin can expect the majority of American voters to see her as either a serious presidential candidate or as a less-than-serious reality TV star that caters to those individuals who consider Kate Gosselin to be worth more than 30 seconds of viewing time and electricity but she can't expect the majority of American voters to see her as both.

If Sarah Palin has made herself into the punchline of jokes to the majority of American voters, she has nobody but herself to blame.
