Sarah Palin Switches Parties, Becomes Democrat; Media Rejoices

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.”

Heh.

I’ve long thought that if she were a Democrat, same looks, same life story, maybe even some of the same policy positions, her media coverage and how the Democrats treated her would be a lot more like that.

The media would NOT rejoice.

Are you kidding? If Palin switched parties, the media would immediately declare her the smartest white woman on earth and begin babbling about her wonderful homespun ways and her brave struggle raising a mentally challenged baby while balancing work and home lives.

She is spunky enough I’m actually kind of surprised that she didn’t play a joke like this. :)

It is funny. And, IMO, the media WOULD rejoice. If Sarah Palin was liberal and pro-abort (or choice), I think the corruptocrats would have kicked out even 0bama to enshrine her as POTUS.

They only hate her because they deep-down respect and are scared to death of her political potential. This ain't your grandfather's GOP. They know how to beat an elitist establishment GOP/RNC of Steele/McRomneybee.

I bet we would be surprised at how smart she is suddenly proclaimed if she actually did this.

“The media would NOT rejoice.”

Disagree. They would declare that Sarah had “matured”.

Of course, “mature” in their language means that your brain has atrophied and that you were no longer capable of doing anything save processing food into bull-Obama.

Ergo- she’d be a dim-bulb-crat.

Be careful. Sarah has fetishistic love trolls on Free Republic who mindlessly attack any perceived sleight to their Goddess.
