Sarah Palin Switches Parties, Becomes Democrat; Media Rejoices
Big Journalism ^ | Apr 1st 2010 | Ron Futrell

Wasilla, Alaska (UIP)— Shocking news last night as former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin announced that she is following in the footsteps of the noble senator from Pennsylvania, Arlen Specter, and is switching parties to become a Democrat.

This news comes just five days after Palin appeared as the keynote speaker at a Tea Party rally in Searchlight, Nev., where she appeared in her former guise as an angry white female and told the crowd of at least a dozen or so people that she was tired of government intrusion into her life and that she was going to do everything she could to “send Harry Reid back to Searchlight where he would be lucky to be elected as part-time street sweeper.”

Sometime since then, Palin said, she had an epiphany and realized “the weather of Nevada must’ve unfrozen my cold, steely Alaskan heart,” and that she had awakened from her icy slumber of neocon-ism. “What the hell was I thinking?” She also resigned as a Fox News contributor, effective immediately.

Reaction was swift from the Democrats across the nation. Specter said he was happy to bring Palin on board with the Democrat Party and hoped that she would come to Pennsylvania and help him in his re-election campaign. “I might need some help because I’m down 20 points in the polls,” said Specter. Specter denied reports that he may switch back to the Republican Party. “Now that we have Palin, there’s no way I would ever leave the Democratic Party unless I felt there was a primary candidate who might beat me, and then of course I would have to consider it.”

...and Barack Obama renounces the slaughter of the unborn and socialism; now he fully embraces the sanctity of life, free markets & capitalism, and announces that he’s Republican.

As funny as this is, it would be fascinating to what the media fumble all over themselves to welcome Sarah Palin into their ranks. Let face it, the only reason she is attacked is because of her effectiveness. For liberals to have a lethal weapon like Sarah legitimize fascism would be significant. But that’s all a joke anyway because there is no legitimacy in fascism.

Actually, they would rejoice. She would suddenly become smart, Russia wold be proven to be seen from her house, her kids would be off limits, she would suddenly be sophisticated and hip, and they would fawn over her every word being championed as a wonderful candidate.

In further developments, it was disclosed that Governor Palen had not paid taxes on revenue generated by the walrus blubber concession she owned in Nome. She elected to become a Democrat to escape criminal tax evasion charges
