New hope for Sarah Palin.

Andrew Sullivan had a rather interesting epiphany about Palin based on her speech September 3rd:

She's positioning herself against the corruption of both parties, just as she positioned herself in Alaska as the hockey mom prepared to take on her own party elites' collusion with Big Oil. Alas, her efforts in Alaska soon unraveled, even after she was able to tax the oil companies and deliver the goodies directly to Alaska voters. Her gas pipeline is as distant a prospect as ever. And when one reviews her career, it's hard to resist noting that her populism (combined with extreme Christianism) was the only way she could see making it to the top - especially after the Murkowskis dissed her. Opportunism or principle? It could be both, but with Palin, one should never under-estimate the former. She's shrewder as a politician than some understand. 

I wonder if she's contemplating a populist third party campaign.

Now the idea of Palin running on a third party ticket is not something that I have seriously considered in quite some time, due to the waning influence of the Teabaggers and her erratic self destructive behaviors.  But I have to say that the idea DOES have merit.

As much as I personally dislike Palin, one does have to admit that she has a HUGE presence in this country.  And clearly that presence, simply cannot be contained by the Republican party.

The GOP might flirt with the Tea Party, and ply them with drinks until their slutty side comes out, but lets face it after the Republicans have had their way with the Constitutionally illiterate cuckoo-birds they will slip out under the cover of darkness, MAYBE leave a couple of bucks on the dresser for cab fare, and NEVER call them again.

Sarah knows what this behavior is like, she lives with Todd, so undoubtedly she does not expect much from the Republicans in the long run. So why not strike while the Grand Old Party is at its weakest, strip away their most ardent new freshmen Congress members (Who are all Constitution masturbating flag pin wearing Tea Party members anyhow), and start her own third party?

She could EASILY seduce inspire the tri-corner hat wearing fringe into supporting her.

Oh yeah! That's the stuff!
 And right now wherever they go a number of disillusioned Republicans are sure to follow.

Soon she could have a poorly organized bunch of horny, undereducated, politically inept, individuals ready and willing to start knocking on doors and putting up signs for this vibrant new party that could turn the world of American politics right on its....well...on its side anyhow. (Okay well maybe not ALL of the way on its side, but it certainly could tip it a bit.)

And how easy would it be to find just the right people to recruit for this new party? All Palin would have to do is kick out anybody who dared to use their Yale/Harvard/Driving School educated logic to solve problems or come up with policy decisions, and only keep those willing to rely solely on common sense and the fire in their bellies to clumsily attack the complex problems facing our country.

Palin could finally be Palin, with no more "advisers" telling her what to say or wear on her head, and she could even go back to writing her own Facebook posts and Tweets to get her message out to the people.

Remember what an effective communicator she was BEFORE they tried to changer her?

Wrapped up Anch Gov's Picnic, awesome. Now road trip to Fairbanks for farewell speech/changing of the guard. Camper full of kids & coffee... 

W/kids in camper;on World's Best Rd Trip!To soar by Mt.McKinley&rushing rivers,we remember all of AK is BIG/WILD/GOOD LIFE;feel freedom here

Pure magic!

I know I have not always been one to support Palin in her political aspirations, but I think that THIS idea of branching out on her own, and taking as many of the disgruntled Republicans with her as possible, is the right thing to do for this country. I mean it just feels right, don't you think?

And I have so much confidence in this idea of starting a third political party that I am willing to do MY part as well.  I pledge to attack and ridicule the idea as aggressively as possible, insuring that the Right Wing will take it seriously and flock over to help defend it against unscrupulous attacks from the Left Wing (that would be me), and aggressive questioning from the "Lamestream" media (That might be me sometimes as well).

Soon the money will start flowing in from Koch brothers grasroots fundraising and the "Mama Grizzly's Tea Party of Constitutional Freedom Loving Americans" will be ready to begin to let its high pitched voice be heard.

As much as I am positive that this will have a disastrous effect on the reelection of Barack Obama (Oh God! What am I doing?), I feel as a patriotic, though unfortunately liberal leaning, American that I MUST support the common sense idea of splitting an existing party in two in order to better defeat their common foe. After all when has that approach NOT worked?

So Ms. Palin as much as it hurts me to support such a danger to our Socialist agenda, I urge you for the sake of this great country to take on BOTH political parties and get this country back to the "time honored truths" that continue to elude you, and start that third political party.

God's speed Sarah Louise Heath Palin, and may you continue to have the same level of success with THIS project as you have enjoyed with every other project branded with the name Sarah Palin.

Game on!
