Palin on GOP Establishment, “It’s Very Sleazy”

[Turborama]

Is this battle between the narcissistic nitwit and her own party going to end up tearing Republicorp apart?

Excerpt from Faux Business Network interview...

On rumors of anti-Palin GOPers:

“Establishment bosses and advisors that try to shape a candidate and get paid to shape that candidate. It’s very sleazy. Some within the establishment don’t like the fact that I won’t back down to a good old boys club I have taken them on for 20 years and I have cleaned up corruption and I have done what the people have hired me have asked me to do, the voters, and I would continue to do that so maybe that makes some people a little uncomfortable. A lot of this has to do with control, power, money. If they know right off the bat that I believe they are sleazy and unethical and part of a machine that’s not good for the country and l wouldn’t hire them, it has to do with a frustration with that.”

[TheCowsCameHome]

1. Is that any way to talk to your Mommy and Daddy?

She has no manners.

[saigon68]

34. The Party "UpperCrust" thinks she's a buffoon

Can't even read a newspaper--- but she sure can lead the sheep--- like a Judas Goat.

[Zephie]

38. Finally something that the GOP and I can agree on

she IS a buffoon. :shrug:

[Canuckistanian]

2. It's amazing she doesn't have second degree burns

From all those bridges she's burning.

[BlueMTexpat]

32. And having her pants on fire all the time ... n/t

[SharonAnn]

3. "I have done what the people have hired me have asked me to do". She quit!

The people hired her to be the governor of Alaska and she quit with less than 2 years in office.

She quit!

'Nuff said.

[Angry Dragon]

8. Well to be fair

she was just some votes and an old man
from being the president.

Would you expect her to be satisfied with being a governor??

[gratuitous]

4. The voters asked her to quit?

Am I reading this word salad right? "I have done what the people have hired me have asked me to do, the voters, and I would continue to do that." That's why she resigned less than half way through her term? Or has she forgotten that she did that? She's apparently hoping everyone else forgot that.

[Lucky Luciano]

16. If I were from Alaska, I would have asked her to quit

:shrug:

[Blue_In_AK]

28. We didn't ask her to quit,

we just asked her to be honest. That was too much for her to handle, so she bailed.

[tridim]

5. She should run as a "Compassionate Sleazebag".

[TheCowsCameHome]

36. Stop using big words. "Complete Sleazebag" is fine.

[lob1]

6. She would be the one to spot "sleazy".

[beyurslf]

7. I think the 2012 Repub primary is going to be fun to watch.

Tune in folks, the fun is just beginning.

[AlinPA]

22. They will pick someone early and they will all get behind either Palin or Bush. No way they will

fight internally. They will start their fund raising immediately.

[bluestateguy]

9. Won't back down? She quit her job!

And nobody was even asking her to do so either.

Oh yes, big tough barracuda! Pit bill! Mama Grizzly!

Please.

Is she going to cut and run when Ahmadinejad starts threatening the United States? Or bin Laden?

[Kurovski]

10. I want her to be the Pubber nominee.

Lay off, all you old Puke dudes. Lay off my sassy crackpot Sarah P.!

[defendandprotect]

11. Keep tattlin' Palin .... we need to know -- !!!

[one_voice]

12. I don't think it will tear them apart...

the Republicans will fall all over themselves-some already are-to apologize for any misunderstandings. Palin holds their base in the palm of her hand-and they don't want to lose them. If they alienate her, they lose the fundies, the "smaller gov't" crowd, the very conservative crowd and a portion of the Repubs that aren't complete wingers but are either tired of the status quo or are infatuated with her. They have far too much to lose, they'd never win elections it would split the party and there isn't enough in one or the other. They're not going to risk that.

Don't kid yourself she has all the power on that side of the aisle. And she's loves all the power and adorations she gets. She's a dictator in the making. Her supporter would do ANYTHING to protect her. In their eyes she can do no wrong and she is the savior of the United States. What we saw happen at the Rand Paul debate would become the norm. She actually convinced them that quitting in the middle of her term was the best thing for them and Alaska. They're like friggin zombies. It's creepy.

[flamingdem]

13. There's no way she is the presidential candidate, Rove will block it nt

[Kookaburra]

14. She would certainly know from sleazy,

[AC_Mem]

15. She really is

borderline illiterate, isn't she.

[saltpoint]

17. The Republican establishment most certainly is sleazy

and Sarah Palin ran as vice president on its national ticket.

[Turborama]

20. Good point. If she is calling the establishment bosses & advisors that "shaped" her as a candidate..

..."Sleazy and unethical", she's 100% correct.

[saltpoint]

21. Indeed. Of course she's never going to get the irony,

and even if she made an effort to get it, she'd probably quit halfway through!

[lib_wit_it]

18. She would know. Sleaziest of the sleazy. Scummiest of the scummy. Griftiest of the grifters.

[Duke Newcombe]

19. Thanks for that observation, Captain Ob(li)vious..

only now, at the end, do you understand.

[struggle4progress]

23. "I liked him right up to the minute I cut his throat"

[AnnieBW]

24. Damn, I agree with Sarah Palin!

They are sleazy and unethical.

Ugh, I agree with Palin!

I need to take a shower. :hide:

[SammyWinstonJack]

35. She should look in the mirror. She's right up there with the rest of the sleazy/unethical pukes.

Above it all, eh, sarahP? :silly:

[somone]

25. More, Sarah. Give us details

Keep talking.

[merh]

26. It is statements like these that make me think of

all those who have died in small planes and that great, vast Alaskan outdoors and the awful winters they have.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

27. Palin speaks like a six-year-old

No offense to six-year-olds, but we expect them to speak all disjointed and kiddie-like and when they do it, it's cute.

When a vacuum-packed grown-up speaks that way on a daily basis, it's not so cute. It's - well, it makes me wonder what's wrong with her. You know - arrested development, learning disability, something.

[Turborama]

29. Cenk did a good piece on this earlier , with war drums n' all...

[SpiralHawk]

30. D'oh

Honorable Americans have known about RepubliSlease for over 40 years...

[JCMach1]

31. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day...

[victoryparty]

33. Third Party Sarah

She'll run as a 3rd Party candidate and carry the same states Wallace did in '68, plus Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. Not sure about Alaska.

[Hubert Flottz]

37. “It’s Very Sleazy”

That's what we've been trying to tell everyone, stupid ass!

[AspenRose]

39. Go, Mama Grizzly, Go! Run as the Tea Party Candidate for President!

Go, Sarah, Go! :woohoo:

[tanyev]

40. That's why you're such a good fit with that party, Sarah.

But, hey, if you want to tear it apart, I won't complain.

[lunatica]

41. She has teeth so she might as well use them on her Republican party

snarling, salivating, chomping, germ laden gnashing teeth.

[Turborama]

43. !

[Generic Other]

42. Jeb will tap her for VP

<shudder>

[treestar]

44. The voters did ask her to serve a complete term

So her claim she did what they wanted her to do is a little weak.
