Reply #22: I Wouldn't Go That Far. [View All]

Despite what the media would have you believe, teabaggers do not represent the majority of the Republican party. There are far more rational Republicans than you give them credit for (honestly, what is with this need to dehumanize the other side that both parties wallow in? Why should people on the other side of the aisle be any less rational than anyone over here? They've got their teabaggers, and we've got our "Obama is the son of god!" squad, but, by and large, I have no doubt that there are rational people over there). But not even the majority of teabaggers think Palin is qualified for President:

The morons love her as an outrageous figurehead, because she says the things they want their leaders to say (which, by and large, their leaders are too sane to say), but, deep down, they don't consider her presidential material. She might make a run if she can actually make some money out of it, but it costs a lot to run for President, and she's certainly not going to be shelling any out herself, and I think she knows she doesn't have a shot to win. I sincerely doubt the Republicans will be running Palin out as anything more than a photo op for candidates up for reelection...and even many of THEM will not want to be associated with her.

They have to pay homage to her as their queen, but she's like the Queen of England: no real political power. Her control over the masses is strong, but temporary; they'll wait her out and eventually, she'll fade away.
