I tweeted that I would vote for anyone, including Sarah Palin, for President before Barack Obama in 2012. The responses ranged from crazy to obvious insults to GOP troll pretending to be a Democrat. I expected as much. As a lifelong unapologetic Liberal Democrat, I’m very secure with my politics and philosophy, and I don’t really give a crap. Sure I lost a few followers but there are always more. I wouldn’t be surprised if this blog didn’t receive similar responses. FYI, Palin doesn’t mean Sarah Palin literally, but she is included, it means any Republican, Libertarian, Democrat, breathing human, or candidate. Palin just expresses the level of disgust I have with Obama, and she enrages Obama-Democrats.
I thought I would provide some context, but I doubt it really matters. Like GWB, Palin is evil beyond all others, and just the mention of her name creates a emotional response in Democrats. As long as Democrats react emotionally, we will accept anything other than Palin, Bush, or Reagan. We elect DLC Democrats that undermine our values, and we elect inexperienced black Democrats that have no core values. Democrats are so desperate for victory that we think we are winning with Blue Dog Democrats. We think we are winning with DLC Democrats, and we think we are winning with Barack Obama.
My reasons are simple, I trust the opponent (Republican, Tea Bag, Nazi) in front of me with whom I totally disagree more than the supporter (“Liberal”, “Progressive”, or “Democrat”) behind me with a knife out ready to stab me in the back for his or her political career. I can fight Palin, Romney, or Huckabee. I know Palin is the dumbest woman on the planet but I also know the “Democrats” will oppose her reflexively. I know my team, the Democrats, will fight her to the bitter end. With Barack Obama, Democrats will compromise everything they ever stood for to support his capitulations. Example, Could you imagine Sen. Joe Biden supporting a tax cut for the rich that raises taxes of the working poor? Yet, Vice President Biden slithered up to the Capital this week with deal in hand, and “every” Democratic senator is ready to roll over for Obama’s weak pitiful tax compromise. Case closed.
I’d rather elect a Mitt Romney and let him disappoint Republicans by compromising his principles and pass Health Care Reform like he did in Massachusetts. They got more from Mitt than we got from Obama. And I know it’s Massachusetts. Mitt like all sleazy politicians will compromise any principle to get elected, and he will sell-out any supporter to get re-elected. That’s Liberals best chance at real Progressive policy, not Obama selling-out Social Security and Medicare in an useless attempt to move to the principle-less Center. We have gotten Obama’s best, and it wasn’t nearly good enough. All Obama has left is investigations, compromises, disappointments, and capitulations. Progressives’ best option is to nominate any other Democrat and start fresh.
I know this was a waste of time. The title “Democrats for Palin” lost most before they read the first line. Don’t worry, that’s exactly what Obama is depending on while he sells-out the Democratic Party for re-election. Until Democrats support and elect a Progressive willing to lose for his beliefs, we will keep electing these smooth talking worthless fakes that believe in nothing or worse – Bipartisanship and Compromise.
From my experience studying the DUmmies, FDL has been off the reservation for some time now regarding Obama, so this isn’t anything really new.
Frankly, I agree with the sentiments expressed here. The ‘moderates’ of both parties are nothing but big government fascist whores. Best be rid of all of them, so we can have our partisan arguments clearly, openly, and without the disruption and distortion that is introduced by these ‘moderates’.
We have nothing to fear from that, because our arguments will win.
I think the all time best summary of liberal duplicity was enunciated by Dennis Miller. He was talking about Billyboy, but it stands for them all, he said "the Clintons' proffer is always the same--they will help you achieve your goals but only after you compromise whatever values made your goals worth achieving in the first place."
Nobody could say it better.
Rabid. The insanity oozes from every pore.
An accurate characterization of Mitt Romney if there ever was one.
I agree with you.
Obama has been able to continue every Bush policy and in some cases, go further than Bush, in part, because of the support of all the people buying into the knee-jerk “better than Palin” mythology. Even his signature “accomplishments”, such as HCR, are essentially Republican policies.
In fairness to the frightened lesser-evilists, I must also mention that other class of enablers, the tribalists, those who think it’s OK for Obama to act like Bush simply because he claims to be a Democrat.
As you said, we’d be better off with someone like Palin because Dems of all stripes would reflexively oppose her. I don’t think she’d be near as effective as Obama at implementing authoritarian and corporatist policies.
- - - - - To me voting for any dem is asking for “The Death Of A Thousand Cuts”.
Palin is in Haiti learning how our government should be run. I don’t think Amerika will really change untill we actually hit bottom and Sarah is the best choice to reach that goal.

Deal breaker, right there. Full stop. The guy's a pathetic, hard-core leftist to the core.
I can't read another word.
“Until Democrats support and elect a Progressive willing to lose for his beliefs, we will keep electing these smooth talking worthless fakes that believe in nothing or worse – Bipartisanship and Compromise.”
The Progressives are so entrenched in the democrat party that there is no way to extricate them. We are already seeing party switching in the South. Southern democrats are no longer comfortable in their party. Other states will follow. Elected officials are becoming Republicans and giving super-majorities in state legislatures. Republicans need to be out there signing these folks up, getting them registered while the progressives are at their worst. As usual, Republicans are asleep at the switch. The political revolution occurred in the November election. The religious and moral revolution is coming. President Palin will ride both into power. Neither party can see it coming.
It's easy to characterize that comment: it's called bat-sh!t insanity.
A half serious, half “I don’t know WHAT to make of” column.
LOL. I just pinged you....LOL.
Are they planning to vote for her or not? I am thinking NOT.
But, I am holding out HOPE for them to vote for her in the primaries where “democrats disguised as INDYs” can vote in the primaries.... like in NH for example!
My Dad used tosay that ‘the liberal’s reward is self-disgust’. Here we see it in full measure.
Liberal’s don’t understand that when you measure with a sliding yardstick you run the risk that the candidate who ran as a blank slate really doesn’t represent you. At. All.
So now they’re faced with the possibility that this incompetent and incoherent empty suit is not only going to expose the farce that is their ‘philosophy’; he’s going to roll their whole boat with everyone in it.
Every statement this man has made since taking office must be held up and measured: he is not transparent; he is not a uniter; he is not a gifted orator.
He is a fraud of the highest order, he has imperiled our entire nation, and God help us, the leaders of his party must go to him and implore him— for the good of the country— to step down.
Of course they will never go to him and he never will step down. Imagine the damage this idiot can do in the next two years.
In fairness to the radical left wing socialist activists...they don’t sound much different than us here when it came to Myth Romney or Rudy or the Huckster or McAmnesty.
Sarah Palin, poor thing, will have to get along without the lunatic vote in the primaries.
Oh dear. You’re right about that and on our side of the spectrum, the lunatic vote goes to Ron Paul.
Which half? It’s late, you know, and I was already confused.
Now this is what I would call the “Rubber Room Vote”.
