This is why the left is so afraid of Sarah Palin and this is why they are doing anything they can to stop her.

"So, as a result, Sarah Palin should be the Republican nominee for President. ...... Because the Democrats attack her because they fear her."

Flawed logic like that really scares the hell out of me because it hands the White House over to Barrack Obama for four more years.

Go back to the 1980's and try to remember how Dan Quayle was ridiculed and attacked, day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year.

That did not mean that the Democrats "feared" Dan Quayle. Far from it. Dan Quayle was the Democrat's best weapon against all Republicans.

Once you have such an easy target, the strategy is to ridicule that easy target, day after day, and then link the entire opposing Party to the object of easy ridicule.

Likewise, the Democrats do not "fear" Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin is just a very easy target, just like Dan Quayle was in the 1980's. Just like they used Quayle to ridicule all Republicans 20 years ago, the Democrats now use Sarah Palin to ridicule all Republicans today.

Both Sarah Palin and Nancy Pelosi have abysmally high Unfavorable ratings among voters:

So, we play that game too:

If you are going all out to get Sarah Palin nominated, because you fail to understand the "Ridicule the Easy Target Strategy" that is one of the oldest tricks in the political book, you are playing right into Democrat hands since even one of the latest FOX News polls shows Sarah Palin being pulverized by Obama, 55% to 31%:

When I was in my thirties, my first wife’s mother got really sick. Neither my wife or mother-in-law were believers. 3 days before Christmas my mother-in-law had not eaten thue her mouth for two months, her kidneys had completely shut down, and the doctors told the family that day that she was going to die for sure and recommended that the families pull the plug, so she would go quicker and relieve her pain. She also had gone into a coma. The family after much thought told doctors to pull the plugs.

She called me at home where I was with our young son and told me the news, I told her “This is the time that GOD can heal her, for GOD will not share his Glory with man”

She must have thought I was nuts, but with-in hours her kidneys kicked in, the next day she came out of the coma, and on Christmas she ate for the first in over three months. A littler while later she came home.

The doctors told the family that they have never seen anything like that and it was a miracle from GOD. All the doctors and nurses called it the “Christmas Miracle”

GOD will not share his Glory with man, even the doctors gave him the credit!

GOD always does his best work when you think it can’t be done!

I’m now 58 and I say to all us of little faith:

If Sarah Palin is going to be President, GOD will be involved and God will not share his Glory!

Please bookmark your spiel for further reference. Waste of bandwidth.
Sarah will run and win.

So, can I mark you as a NO on Palin? BTW, have that PDS checked, it appears to be consuming you.

[nhwingut]

We know you don’t like Palin. We get it. You post the same childish crap in every thread. (copy/paste)

Yawn.

Who’s your guy?

[upsdriver]

It appears like you fear Sarah Palin. Comparing Dan Quayle to Sarah Palin is pure folly. Quayle never fought back or stood up to the left and allowed himself to be destroyed. Palin has been attacked mercilessly and yet she stands stronger than ever. No, those on our side who lack the courage to back Palin are the ones cowering in fear. Get back to us when you conquer your fear, will you?

[DesertRhino]

Cool,,, thanks for the erudite opinion that the media will attack Sarah. So tell us,, which republican nominee do you think the media would treat respectfully??

(crickets)

Romney the millionaire, investment banker mormon, who passed his own Obamacare?
Huck ,, the obese guitar pickin’ preacher with his chubby sons?
Daniels,, the Bushie establishment repub runt?
Santorum,,who can’t win in his own state?
Trump? Nooooosiree,, nothing to ridicule there.

Talk about “flawed logic”! It’s utterly silly to pretend that they will attack Sarah,, but with the others they will support or at least be neutral against their effort to unseat Obama.

[Lancey Howard]

The fact that the poll included people who “never heard of” former Vice Presidnetial candidate Sarah Palin throws the entire poll into question. How about a poll that excludes illiterate ignoramuses, people with a sub-80 IQ, and psychotic drunks?

[Bluebird Singing]

Dems target pushovers like you with their propaganda ‘cause they know you’ll run with it, and repeat it and repeat it and repeat it till it’s true. Wasn’t it Hitler and his team that came up with that strategy?

[SnuffaBolshevik]

...since even one of the latest FOX News polls shows Sarah Palin.....

The poll was taken 12-13 Jan. 2010, over 15 months ago!

[factmart]

Ya, I remember the dems and Carter wanting Reagan because he would be easy to beat and Carter was always beating Reagan in the made up polls.

Now they say the same about Palin.

Tortured, twisted waste of bandwidth from a tortured, twisted person.

Go back to the 1980's and try to remember how Dan Quayle was ridiculed and attacked, day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year.

First, the "potatoe" incident you referenced using your leftist propaganda pictures occurred in 1992, not the 1980's. Second, those petty attacks weren't on the evening news, in the newspapers, or even in major Democrat speeches for more than a week. I have no idea what liberal circles you ran in back then, but that was not a significant campaign issue. In the exit polling four months later, Dan Quayle was not a significant factor in GHWB's election loss.

That did not mean that the Democrats "feared" Dan Quayle. Far from it. Dan Quayle was the Democrat's best weapon against all Republicans.

So by your cowardly logic we Republicans should disavow any Republican office holder or candidate the Democrats choose to ridicule? By this junior high school level thinking you could never have supported Ronald Reagan since he was relentlessly criticized for being too old, too forgetful, and too senile. Certainly some of his most vehement opposition came from the Rockefeller Wing of the Republican Party who were embarrassed by his straight talk and non-pedigree breeding.

No, the Democrats did not destroy Dan Quayle. If anything it was the puritanical Republicans who were too cowardly to support any candidate that might appear to be unpopular. We have met the enemy, and it is the liberal Republicans who are too socially inept to be able to put the values of their own candidate above the opinion of the liberal media. If this is still the case, we will lose in 2012 no matter who our nominee is.

[ohioman]

Oh my. The God Polybius has spoken. I am sure Palin will see your post and quit politics at once.

I am not a Sarabot, but comparing her to Quayle is laughable.

[ngat]

Ergo, let us nominate Romney! or perhaps Gingrich, or Huckabee, or Christie, or Daniels, or...

[B4Ranch]

Do you recall when the GOP put John McCain up as the man who they thought should be the Republican nominee for President? Then John chose Sarah Palin as his running mate. Did he do this because she was an unheard of female politician hoping none of us would chose a female for VP or what.

It was very obvious to me that the RNC had no intentions of winning the race when they put John McCain up as their nominee for President. I would love to hear your theory on what brought all that about.

Come up with a workable strategy as to why the GOP put McCain in that race and I may decide not to vote for Sarah as President. So far you haven’t convinced me.

Or convince me that the Republican goal is not to bring about a New World Order as quickly as possible. Your choice.
