I’m curious and honestly not trying to be facetious but why do you come on these threads? You convinced she’s not running and from everything I’ve read I don’t think you care for her all that much and that’s okay. So why continue to bother people on these threads? I’m sure there are plenty of topics you enjoy. What do you get out of denigrating your fellow freepers on nearly every thread? Honestly, if you’re convinced she isn’t running why not just leave these threads to those who do think she is or are hoping she will. You aren’t going to change your opinion and those who support her aren’t going to change theirs so why create all this bad blood? I’m betting you have plenty in common with people here beyond their support of Palin. Debate is fine and even enlightening but this has become an opportunity to insult (and yes, calling her “the trademark” IS an insult) her supporters. It’s not like you even try to have a genuine, respectful debate, so why bother?

It is more than a bit amusing that you take the time to accuse me of denigrating freepers without saying how but, afaik, you are silent on all the truly vile name calling that comes from the palinistas toward anyone who does not toe their line (these have included cute little morsels like...accusations of homosexuality and comments like, "I hope you die in a house fire.").
As far as my using Trademark as a nick-name for Palin(), why do you suppose that is? What could have possibly given me the idea?
And where is your post objecting to the various Bachmann or Perry or, in the past, Daniels nicknames and insults?
If you want a forum that is nothing but a Palin() love-fest, there are plenty of those. If I'm wrong, please correct me, but it is my understanding that FR is a place for discussion, not worship. And, imo, Palin's() unprecedented trademark registration of her name shows a greater interest on her part in the marketplace than in the POTUS-race. Therefore it is perfectly natural for me, or anyone, to point this out on a thread about her little dance of the seven veils.
