Cut Throat: Sarah Palin

 

She burst on to the scene during the 2008 presidential election.  Why?

The G.O.P wanted to face Clinton.  They knew how to attack Hillary, she was the devil they knew. Yet they had contingency plans.

The fragmenting republican base and always fragmented independents were looking for a hero.  The minority vote working against them was bad enough. The allure of having a woman in he White House was just too much and with Hillary losing to Obama there was an opening to grab the sore losers.

What does the G.O.P do about this?  They seek out to find the most attractive republican woman who holds any type of office.   None of them would have the credentials of Hillary, but the Republican party has never been too concerned with credentials.  They get the anti-hillary in the “middle class” beauty queen Palin.

People support her for  similar reasons why they supported G.W. Bush.   They could see themselves drinking a beer with Bush.    A very average, very flawed individual they can relate to.  In Palin’s case, she reminds them of the high school sweet heart or crush. Frankly, they can see themselves fucking Sarah Palin and thats why they give her blind support.

Another brilliant example of how well the G.O.P can mind-fuck the American populous.  It’s a large-scale brain wash.

The woman embarrassed her self continually.  McCain didn’t even get to choose his own running mate and hadn’t even known who she was.  If Obama had lost to Hillary you can bet your ass Michael Steele would have been up for VP.   In stead he was elected Republican National committee Chair. Yes he is black.
