Palin's Boob a Fake: Hoffman Loses

What's Your Reaction?

?>

I tried to resist. Glenn Beck and the Teabaggers (sounds like a bad lounge act) will be making the governors' losses in New Jersey and Virginia a "referendum" on Obama's "socialist policies."

Fine. Let's just go there. Bend over, I'm driving.

When a quitter and a spitter show up to help out your campaign... don't take the money and don't sign a loyalty pledge to a crazy man WHO CAN'T VOTE FOR YOU!

Mr. Hoffman was a fake... a true voice for the tea baggin', rapture watchin', gay hatin', health fightin', ladies bakin', race baitin', forced breedin', birth denyin', war lovin' party of Glenn Beck-a-Palin-istas.

Here's your referendum, and it's solid. The GOP is sick of your rightwingery. Facebook and Fox News are the podiums you raise your fists from; fists that reach from anemic bodies, grasping for an America people have fought hard to overcome. Sarah Palin is the political fluffer to lubricate the scene. All this glam and luster got diminished with traditional Republican Flacks making the scene, like the old priest wandering inside a new megachurch. Old Fred Thompson showed up to put a big arm around Champion of the Tea Baggalicious Best Campaign Ever! Wow...Fred Thompson...Wow, I just say his name and I forget what I was saying... Fred Thompson... Wow, I just say his name and I forget what I was saying... Fred... forget about it.

I would love to be a Wood Bark Beetle on the credenza in Roger Ailes' office when he is discussing the results of the beta test of the Palin-Beck 2012 launch. That group that voted for Scozzafava represented the margin of victory for the Republicans. They would not vote for a Democrat and they sure as hell weren't going to vote for Hoffman. Ailes suddenly realizes something significant. If the Republican Party were run by moderates, the crazies would still be with the Party. But if the Party is run by the crazies, the moderates will never be there.

The best part of our country is our willingness to CHANGE. That doesn't mean Democrat or Republican...it means we take care of each other.

In her latest Facebook, Palin boasts of New Jersey's defeat of Jon Corzine, the Goldman Sachs candidate -- as if she had anything to do with it! Apparently, and not surprisingly, Palin thinks her last minute Robocall to Virginians was the difference in a race that was over before the first ballot was cast. Bob McDonnell was leading by double digits last week and never looked back. He also never requested Sarah Palin's "help". Can they super-size Governor-elect McDonnell? Maybe he comes with a side of fries.

The only thing Sarah Palin can really take credit for is New York's House District 23 electing a Democrat for the first time since before The Civil War. Late election night from Facebook, Palin invoked Ronald Reagan with "the cause goes on." What is that cause? Making government so big you call in the uterine police and tell people who they can marry? Palin goes on, "The race for New York's 23rd District is not over, just postponed until 2010." Ahem, Sarah, the 23rd district will be dissolved in redistricting in 2010 which is why it was so hard to find a Dem to run... just sayin'.

So while Limbaugh will call the GOP victories in the Governorship races a referendum of the Obama presidency, which they aren't, they will deny that NY-23 was a clear victory for president Obama, which it is. "Owens, Baby, Owens!"

Your soggy teabags are showing.

Suck it up, Buttercup!

Shannyn, you continue to hit it out of the park. I wrote a comment earlier that must have been scrubbed and I'm not sure why, but sometimes I get a little explicit. It's hard not to when one is commenting on the quitter. I think your post was misplaced on H-P inasmuch as it didn't get all the good comments you deserve and usually get on your posts.

Thanks so much for the slap down! Loves it!

Fabulous work Shannyn, I have read your article over and over again and love it more and more, each time I read it. You are priceless! Keep up the good work......­you are my hero! You totally made my day.

"Sarah Palin is the political fluffer to lubricate the scene."
Shannyn, that was just priceless.

Betcha, Buttercup is updating her resume and add "political fluffer" to beef up her credential­s. I can just hear her saying, "Yup, yup, Toad that sounds good. Loser, Quitter and Fluffer. Todd, if we have another kid we could call it Fluffer."

"Sarah Palin is the political fluffer to lubricate the scene." Great line Shannyn. That will be my quote of the month.
04:34 PM on 11/04/2009
Big government­? That is what the Democarts are all about. You know, big government health care and big government spending! Again all you left wingnuts do is talk about Palin and Beck. Wonder why that is? Could it be that they rattle you to your core because they are the ones who really want change. Not some magical "change we can believe in", change you can actually see. No more big government handouts and no more big government spending, No more big government­.

Right...ho­w much bigger could a government be than telling you who you can marry and force pregnancie­s. That's the platform of the GOP...
04:57 PM on 11/04/2009
Force pregnancie­s? Birth control, abstinence­.
05:22 PM on 11/04/2009
Thanks again, Shannyn, for calling it like it is. The GOP is so deep in their own ignorance, they don't even know they're ignorant. Hypocrisy at it's peak! keep up the great work Girl!

Read the following graph and weep:

http://zfa­cts.com/p/­318.html

Under Reagan/Bus­h, the federal deficit rose upward steadily. Under Clinton it went down. Under GWB it went up again.

You are not only highly misinforme­d, but you're ignor@nt. Only a tool would make the statement you made without ever bothering to do the simple research.
03:19 PM on 11/05/2009
Does that graph show where it will be in 2012? Your gonna need a bigger graph. It rose under Reagan/Bus­h because we were still in the cold war at the beginning. Also the Gulf War, and then Clinton shut down bases. Then 9/11 happened and we were at war with terrorism. Does your graph show where the money was going? It was going to keep us and our allies safe. Not big government­.

I subscribe to FreedomWor­ks email list for the lulz, and today (of all days!) I get this email:

"Sarah Palin's Book Slashed to Just $4.97, Best Price in the World"

http://cts­.vresp.com­/c/?Freedo­mWorks/65f­a50a890/5c­ee7ac7aa/c­ebd2ac169/­promo_code­=8D56-1

Could that be the sound of Palin's political career circling the drain?

I still don't think it's worth buying the book unless it comes with a coupon for $5 off.
03:00 AM on 11/05/2009
I'm sure I'll see it at the dollar store within 6 months.

Ms Moore, Great Post! I laughed out loud and I rarely do that anymore. The last, I think, that I guffawed was when I watched ex-Governo­r Palin give her non-answer to Katie Couric about the Newspapers or Magazines she read daily, weekly, month, yearly …. Or, come-on, Ever.

I admit that I am really confused by people turning to the ultra-cons­ervatives in a time when we all should be forward thinking, thoughtful and respectful individual­s. How, Why is it happing.

I found the answer this year in my mail box. Sorry for the length, but I just have to tell someone:

Part One:
I’m, as you probably surmised, a liberal Democrat. But I have been getting some strange mail lately. I think the GOP believed I had a irregular sort of epiphany, or at least changed my Political point of view, or some ‘friend’ signed me up as a Conservati­ve for a ‘joke’.

I began to receive letters and cards from the local Republican Chapter asking for my support and what little money I had. On my husband’s advice, I promptly threw these in the waste can. In September I received a Poll from Michael Steele, concerning the Liberal Controlled Senate and House. I remember that the Poll asked if the Congress should just Sell off the Banks to get the bail-out money back. To Whom, I wondered. China, Japan, Kuwait, Canada? It was full of lies and distortion­s, I was not shocked, but my confusion mounted. I called and requested to be taken off the mailing listed.

But in October I received a letter from Newt Gingrich. The Newt Gingrich. I ripped the enveloped open and found that He had an answer to the American Energy Crisis. Off-Shore Drilling for OIL. Why didn’t I think of that. It’s so easy, the answer to our Energy Crisis is More Oil. They really don’t have a clue to who their mailing this stuff.

Part II
Finally, last week I received a poll from the Christen Seniors Associatio­n, &the fact that this is wrong for me on all sorts of levels did not prevent me from opening it up. I mean, they went to all that trouble to get my opinion I was prepared to be shocked, I really was. I guess I posses more naiveté than I thought.

Mon dieu! The Twisting, the turning the truth inside out, the Falsehoods­, Bigotry, &Hate, duplicity, The questions, the way the questions are phrased, the illogical conclusion­s, the outright falsehoods­. Mailing this is legal?

I would be concerned for my Parents if I thought they were getting this sort of mail, I am concerned for other Seniors who are in desperate straits &looking for something or someone to blame. I don’t think it is an accident that this Poll arrived the day before Washington and Maine was to vote on LGTB Rights..

I really don’t know what to do with this Poll. I could fill it out &send it in, but they would continue to send me more garbage. I could throw it away, burn it for warmth, but it is so vile,. It is sort of proof that I have been right all these years, & the Conservati­ve Right so very wrong. Not that I need proof.

I will eventually throw this Poll away, bury it beneath egg shell &fish guts, so the Trash Collectors won’t think I have gone over the bend.

More left wing hate...

The "Teabagger­s" have spoken... this is obviously a referendum on Obama-styl­e politics and the direction of the country and Corzine is living proof it doesn't work.

Let's drop the name-calli­ng hate and debate real issues... in the meantime - what happen to all that talk here on HP and else where that the GOP is dead... old-school­, right-whit­e guy party of corporate greed, etc., etc.

Wake-up, you'r wrong!
03:21 PM on 11/04/2009
"The best part of our country is our willingnes­s to CHANGE. That doesn't mean Democrat or Republican­...it means we take care of each other."

This doesn't sound hateful to a reasonable person. Nice picture, scream much?
04:18 PM on 11/04/2009
Change a little... with well thought out plans, sure. We take care of each other sort yes but not through the filter (skim from the top and bottom) of Washington­.

I only scream - "Wake-up"
03:26 PM on 11/04/2009
How about you waking up and realizing that you're wrong? This had nothing to do with Obama and everything to do with local politics. As for hate, the people on the right have that down to a science.
04:19 PM on 11/04/2009
Right... keep telling yourself that... sure, it's all local that's why it's so well covered here on HP, after all today is the biggest political event in a year.

The extreme left and right hate the most and since this is an extreme left site, there's a lot of hate here...
02:44 PM on 11/04/2009
How soon they dumb elephants forget.
The GOP started 2 wars which cost us a fortune in lives and energy.
Th GOP sunk the economy and their own families retirement accounts.
The GOP suffers frequent moral lapses in public bathrooms and on the public payroll.
No memory and no outrage.
Just a big party of fakes.

Nicely written, Shannon.

As I pointed out on my blog, the 9/12 Project can take a bit of the credit here. On their website, there's almost no informatio­n whatsoever on Hoffman. On a distinct website, the 912candida­te.org site, apparently some people saw Hoffman's name but it is there no longer.

On the first site I mentioned, the 9/12 Project site, there is a link to a video endorsemen­t by Fred Thompson, who is being reported to have endorsed "Doug Thompson". THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW HIS NAME. Whatever his name was, Hoffman/Th­ompson never had the stuff to run for office in District 23. He doesn't live there. He knows nothing about it. So here comes a guy whose only claim to fame is that he's been endorsed by a pack of GOPER has-beens like Palin, Armey, Thompson, Forbes, and Santorum PLUS he admits that Glenn Beck is his "mentor".

LOL.

This was a referendum on sanity. Lunacy lost.
