Sarah Palin not only hates America she also hates Americans
From MSNBC
The rules as applied to Sarah Palin haven’t changed. As we talked about over the summer, the former half-term governor of Alaska remains a deeply silly person whose opinions are not to be taken seriously. When news organizations routinely make a fuss about her random missives, they’re lending credence to a former officeholder who doesn’t deserve it.
But every now and then, one of Palin’s tirades stands out as newsworthy.
The right-wing personality released a new online video today, complaining about President Obama and immigration, offering the usual lines in a style that can charitably be compared to a teenager delivering a report about a book she hasn’t read (via Simon Maloy).
But then Palin added this:
“We’ll survive this president. The question is (overdramatic pause) can we survive the people who voted for him, twice?”
I don’t know, can we?
Look, I realize that Palin holds the president in contempt. It’s not entirely clear why, but she’s not an Obama fan. I get it.
But this struck me as interesting because Palin seems to be arguing that her most pressing concern about America’s future is the president that disgusts her; it’s Americans themselves.
For Palin, this may have been a throwaway line, which probably doesn’t deserve too much scrutiny, but 66 million Americans voted for Obama in 26 states. Only six presidents have ever earned more than 51% of the popular vote twice and Obama is one of them. The president took office thanks to the support of a big chunk of the American electorate.
In Palin’s mind, these people’s very existence puts the nation’s survival in jeopardy? The biggest threat to America’s future is Americans?

Sarah if you are reading this Americans voted for Obama TWICE because they are sick of Republican assholes like you, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Paul Ryan.
Just because the Republicans kept control of the House and took the Senate doesn't mean they are sick of Obama. BTW I question the integrity of the voting there as there were lots of reports of voter suppression.
Voters voted overwhelmingly for gay marriage, legalization of marijuana, and raising the minimum wage in several states. Overall they like President Obama, problem is the Republican obstructionism is keeping him from doing what the voters want.
To quote anti-war activist Ron Kovic, if you don't love America, then get the hell out. Well I love America. So Sarah get the hell out!
Eleven years ago today US invaded Iraq
And what a disaster it was. I'm sure you have all seen this but if you haven't please watch. Thank you.
From two years ago...Rachel Maddow exposes Sarah and FOX News hyporcisy over the White House Christmas card
I posted this two years ago but thought it was worth a repeat.
A little late but happy anniversary to TRMS!
Rachel kept me sane during the 2008 and 2012 Presidential Elections.

Does Sarah really think dressing up like Rachel Maddow is going to make her look smarter?
Here is Sarah's latest interview on FOX News with FOX's token black woman.
Look at Sarah's glasses, she no longer wears the frameless ones. The style is similar to Rachel Maddow's.
Sarah must really think wearing the same spectacles as the good Dr. is going to make her look smarter. No dumbass it won't.
Rachel was her high school class valedictorian. You, Sarah slept naked on school trips and faked hand injuries to get out of band practice.
Rachel got her undergraduate degree from Stanford. You, Sarah smoked dope in college and took 5 years and 5 colleges to get a degree.
Rachel became a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. Sarah your post college activities included being a weekend sportcaster, fucking Glen Rice, and getting pregnant before marriage.
Rachel in a long term relationship with her partner. Sarah you threw your wedding ring into the dead lake and now you throw canned goods at Todd.
Rachel's show gets better ratings than yours Sarah.
Sarah you will never have the intellect, class, and influence Dr. Rachel Maddow has.
Amen.
President Obama now supports gay marriage
To be honest I'm ambivalent about gay marriage. As a straight female it does effect me at all. I do see both sides of the debate. As a Christian I'm not on board with homosexuality. What I mean by that is I could not be a lesbian even if I wanted to. I just can't see a woman having sex with another woman and a guy having sex with another guy. I guess being straight it does not appeal to me. What does not appeal to me may appeal to another person however.
But I also feel it is against Jesus's teachings to discriminate against anyone. I totally support the Matthew Shepard Act and repealing DADT. Homophobia is a sin as well.
The argument anti-gay marriage folks have is that gays are the threat to traditional marriage. I always thought adultery and divorce were. Hmmm.
I have worked with gays and lesbians in the workplace, never been a problem. The lesbians have never hit on me and the gay men never made a pass at other men.
In November Minnesota will be voting on a gay marriage amendment. I have not decided how I'm going to vote on that yet. I know a lot of people, including a gay hospital chaplain who are in favor of it. And I know a lot of people who are against it.
Your thoughts?

Joe Biden interview with Rachel Maddow Part 1 and 2
If McCain/Palin won this interview would never have happened, and the troops would still be stuck in Iraq.

I have to admit I'm disappointed that Rachel will not interview Joe McGinnis but she will interview these two losers.
Steve and Nicolle are trying to save their asses. Note how Steve tries to drag John Edwards into the conversation. John was properly vetted. That's why Barack Obama picked Joe Biden over him.
And I don't appreciate Nicolle having the VP in her book as a Democrat.
Reason #54 not to vote for Sarah Paln for anything
She was disloyal and went rogue on John McCain
