Twas the night before Thanksgiving...

....and Mark has a question for all of you.

Would Sarah Palin be as much of a force in politics today if she was 300 pounds and/or ugly?

If the answer is no, what does that tell you about her base? Our culture?

No. Most of her base are men that have fantasies about her.

A wonderful little assumption, nicely unsullied by anything so plebian as mere facts. However, let's examine it. Based on that assumption, 3 conclusions seem rather obvious:

1. Democrats could make her base of support vanish like the morning mist if they were to run, say, Megan Fox or Julia Roberts, since they're both so much prettier than Ms. Palin.

2. Chris Christie has no popularity in the GOP whatsoever.

3. You wish the Democrats were NOT supported by those (on record, remember) who voted for JFK because of his looks, or who voted for Bill Clinton because of his looks, or who voted for Barack Obama because of his looks. Further, you are most anxious to lose the support of those Democrats who are on record as voting for Barack Obama because he's black.

Right?

Does this assumption still seem obviously factual to you?

No, she wouldn't. It's telling of our culture that someone so inept intellectually is as successful as she is.

Please explain why I have a hard on for Chris Christie then?

I love how you reach out to your fellow Americans by assuming they support a candidate because their dicks get hard.

Or are you just projecting again?

Be diplomatic, juris. It's called a "tingle up your leg."

Matthews has said the same things about Palin.

It's that MILF for President crowd that will carry the day

The fact that she could potentially attract 40 percent is absolutely horrifying. This woman is nothing more than a refugee from a "Hot for Teacher" video. Her lack of substance is staggering and her pride in her ignorance and dismissal of anyone who questions her acumen is insulting to people who actually care about the issues.

I really wonder what kind of following she would have if she looked like Barbara Bush?

Just change a few words there marnie;

The fact that he actually got elected is absolutely horrifying. This man is nothing more than a refugee from a Malcolm X casting call. His lack of substance is staggering and his pride in his ignorance and dismissal of anyone who questions his acumen is insulting to people who actually care about this country.

I really wonder what kind of following he would have if he looked like Barney Frank?

Actually, most people I know think that President Obama is ugly and his ears stick out whether they support him or not. Some think he looks like President Bush!

Damn Teabaggers said...

...most people I know think that President Obama is ugly...

...and therefore all the people who were on record in 2008 as voting for him because of his looks don't count, right?

I find it slightly amusing, but perfectly predictable, that this bland assumption on your part with nothing but speculation to back it up is considered a sad note "about her base...our culture", but the documented fact that her daughter has received death threats for no other reason than being her daughter doesn't say anything about her opponents that is worthy of note.

I suppose it's the lefty version of "it's her fault she was raped, she was asking for it."
