Today I saw a "McCain/Palin" bumper sticker with the top half removed...

[Barrymores Ghost]

I ended up at a red light next to driver of the SUV (what the fuck would you expect?). I looked to my left and smiled at him, and gave him the thumbs-up. He rolled down his window and smiled back and said "What's the deal?"

I looked at him and said "Love your altered bumper sticker, man."

His response: ""Shit...Palin should have been at the top of the ticket. We might have won this thing"

I answered back: "Sir, I want you to know that, as a liberal progressive who is celebrating the inauguration of Barack Obama in four days, I want to thank you for your support of Sarah Palin. Please do whatever you can to make sure that she is the 2012 candidate."

And then I waved, rolled up my window, and continued on my way when the light changed back to green.

1. You mean Palin is topless?

[Barrymores Ghost]

2. Keep your shorts on, cowboy.

The short answer is "no."

3. !

:spank:

[Barrymores Ghost]

4. Hey, I didn't say that! N/T

[scarletwoman]

10. I know. Look at the upper right hand corner of my post -- it shows I was replying to post #1,

not your post. You're just the straight man.

12. Sorry, I'm a bit slow...

...I have to 'round a few corners, but eventually I get there.

[scarletwoman]

15. No problem. I've noticed that lots of people aren't used to how the DU configuration works.

I was hoping I could be a little helpful.

:hi:

[Barrymores Ghost]

29. Oh, I'm used to it...

...but it's Friday, after close of business.

Thanks, just the same.

[Deja Q]

13. I WANTED TO SAY THAT!

:pout:
:cry:
:footstomp:

:rofl:

[sakabatou]

5. LMAO

[Rosa Luxemburg]

6. Yes topless Palin wil run in 2012

without McCain of course

I wonder who will the running mate? Think of all the loonies and you might be right.

[Fire Walk With Me]

8. Palin/O'Reilly.

or Palin/Buchanan.

:scared:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. Palin/Spears '12

[Somawas]

7. I hear that Palin's nomination for 2012 is now supported by about 50% of Repubs.

And 100% of Democrats.

[Barrymores Ghost]

32. Excellent! Our nefarious plan will bear the fullest of fruit! N/T

[Clio the Leo]

9. Now you know that kid....

... has no CLUE what a "liberal progressive" is.

Those two words have WAY too many syllables in them ... and vowels and consonants and all them.

[Barrymores Ghost]

11. T'wasn't a kid...

...t'was a mid-fifties, moustache-sportin' 22%'er. Regardless, you're right about the over-use of syllables.

[Clio the Leo]

19. lol, kid is a generic term for .........

... you know .... folks .... anyone. ;)

Listen closely my child and I will teach you to speak fluent Clio by the end of Barack's first term.

[Barrymores Ghost]

37. Well, you could be right in one respect...

...anyone who thinks Palin would make a great Prez is certainly an intellectual and emotional child.

[Political Tiger]

16. Reminds me of this toon:

[Barrymores Ghost]

39. I'm making this into a window sticker! N/T

[blue_onyx]

17. Let's all hope for Palin in 2012

This story made me think of this house near me that, as of yesterday, still has it's McCain/Palin sign up. I bet the people in that house are on the Palin 2012 bandwagon.

[onehandle]

18. I've seen Hundreds of those even well before McCain was toast.

Here in the South, we're pretty stupid.

[yeswecanandwedid]

20. awesome post! nt

[Cyrano]

21. You know what's really scary?

Do your really believe there are not enough votes in America (either counted, stolen and/or "invented") to put this caricature of a person named Sarah Palin in office?

Do you think that's paranoia? Well then, what rational person would have ever believed that George W. Bush, would/could have ever been president? Yeah, I know, the Supreme Court had to appoint him to the job, but nonetheless ...

Okay, so the first time around he was appointed. And the second time around, there are enough questions/suspicions/and documented irregularities about Ohio to make it questionable, if not doubtful, that W. was elected to a second term.

Given those two elections, and the fact that Obama beat McCain/Palin by a mere six points (in perhaps the most incompetent campaign ever run by a Republican in American history) do you really have any confidence in the intelligence of the American people? Conversely, do you have any confidence that our votes are ever counted.

Do you want to know what terrifies me? The thought that four years from now, Sarah Palin might run for president. What do we do if she wins?

[ecstatic]

25. that's why I'm not too keen on the "Draft Palin" movements

We should always expect the best but prepare for the worst. Having Palin as possible prez is NOT an option I am willing to consider. It's like playing Russian Roulette with the country!

[OwnedByFerrets]

26. Wow, great post!!

[Barrymores Ghost]

30. I believe there are enough GOP votes to, yes...

...but I believe that, past that point, she ceases to exist.

If you think that I'm wrong, then I suggest we both immediately become American expatriates in the country of our choice.

[liberalmuse]

22. LOL, You ROCK!

What a lovely story! Thank you for making my night (it really doesn't take much, just a lib with balls or ironclad ovaries.)

[Barrymores Ghost]

38. ...

:toast:

[Norrin Radd]

23. Good one.

Today, we saw a pickup with two stickers, one saying "NOBAMA," and the other "Don't drink the Kool-Aid" next to pic of Obama. And in Seattle, no less. Bizarre.

[ecstatic]

24. I saw the same exact thing on an SUV in downtown in Atlanta

I don't get it. How can they not be embarrassed about supporting Palin? It boggles the mind. :crazy:

[demmiblue]

27. Very strange phenomenon...

I saw one of those tonight.

:scared:

[Barrymores Ghost]

40. I love the smell of someone else's bitterness in the morning...

...smells like....victory.

[HughMoran]

28. Good one!

I wish I could be that cool with morans like that.

[Barrymores Ghost]

31. When you live in a small city...

...and belong to many local civic groups, you learn to smile and leave the political translation of a particular event to the other person...

[sampsonblk]

33. This is one of many reasons why I think the GOP is dead

In a normal year, this would be time for them to pick up the pieces and decide how to proceed. But this Palin issue underscores how deep their divide is.

This isn't a policy disagreement. We are looking at two polar opposite groups here. One group of wackos thinks that Palin is the only chance they had. They will never believe otherwise. And they want her to run in 2012. The other groups realizes that she's a brain dead idiot who ruined any slight chance they might have had. And they dont want her around because her presence makes the whole party look stupid.

How can they bridge that gap. And why would either side even try to work with the other? I think the GOP is done.

[Barrymores Ghost]

34. And it is our moral imperative to make the GOP feel...

...like that is the gap they MUST bridge. That SHE is their only hope of survival.

God, I love Sarah Palin.

[sampsonblk]

36. Yep!

Palin 2012. I am 100% on board.

[AtomicKitten]

35. Excellent exchange. n/t

[road2000]

41. I've seen several printed "Palin '12" stickers.

But I've seen a few more that just say "Sarah!" Like she's trying to imitate "Lamar!" Alexander. As if that worked really well. Come to think of it, I believe these were zooming along I-65 in southern Tennessee last week.

Personally, I fear the soulless bitch.
