Palin On Fox News: I Was Forbidden From Telling The Truth
They say hindsight is twenty twenty, in light of the past five years she is telling us things some of us already knew, however I don't think she went far enough, or she doesn't really see it yet, that McCain threw the election and it is starting to look like the same for Romney, the democrats and republicans two sides of the same coin.
I believe Palin was truly a rouge outsider and the GOP was afraid of her.
the herd mentality.

Bingo! Star and flag just for this paragraph. I've been saying this for years!

Unfortunately, I don't think I can agree with you here.
I have been watching these people and they are no fools. I don't believe they make these kinds of mistakes. The only way I can believe she may have truly been "an outsider" or something along those lines would be if they actually planned it that way because they already had it planned out how they would control any damage she could ever possibly do.
And frankly, I just don't see why they would bother. The sad fact of the matter is they could have easily used the worst actor you've ever seen in a Hollywood film pretending to be some kind of "rogue" and the way things go in American politics, it would be very difficult to tell the difference. Authenticity is not even necessary. In politics, authenticity is basically impossible to distinguish from it's opposites.
So even if they could plan everything out so they had their damage control ready to go, why would they even bother or risk it anyway?
No. I don't think they misjudged her. I believe she was all part of the plan. And that she probably was completely aware of it.
the herd mentality.
Now there's something else we agree on. I happen to be an agnostic but I could say that if I could wrap my mind around the concept of "The Devil", that devil would be groupthink/conformity/etc. Even when you're aware of the damage it does and how it corrupts and pollutes individual lives, it's virtually impossible to refrain from doing it yourself.
But this does not necessarily mean I think Palin was unfairly attacked by a bunch of sheeple. Rather, I believe she was selected specifically because of her ability to polarize. Because I believe Obama was also selected to be president. There was never any chance anyone else was going to be president right now.
Even if (by some crazy chance) something went wrong or didn't go quite the way they planned it, I believe they always have contingency plans. There is never an accident they can't recover from because that's just how screwed we are. They have it down to an art.
[Governor Howard] Dean says IPAB is a “rate-setting” board that would ration care by reducing Medicare physician reimbursements so drastically certain medical services would no longer be available. “If you had to go see a physician and make some complicated decisions about a serious illness, would you want a board in Washington making the decisions about what you could have and couldn’t or would you rather have your physician making those decisions?” asks Dean.

Wow, lookie here, her SAT score was a combined 841 (out of a possible 1600). Her IQ score was a sparkling 83!
Chomsky, the hard-left MIT linguistics legend, told Democracy Now:
I don’t usually admire Sarah Palin, but when she was making fun of this ‘hopey changey stuff,’ she was right; there was nothing there. And it was understood by the people who run the political system, and so it’s no great secret that the US electoral system is mainly a public relations extravaganza… it’s sort of a marketing affair.
In these latest comments about the president, Chomsky said that “I don’t usually admire Sarah Palin, but when she was making fun of this ‘hopey changey stuff,’ she was right; there was nothing there. And it was understood by the people who run the political system, and so it’s no great secret that the US electoral system is mainly a public relations extravaganza… it’s sort of a marketing affair.” Although Chomsky and Obama would seem to be natural allies at least initially, the professor has previously denounced among other things Obama’s civil liberties record in connection with domestic surveillance and the deployment of lethal drones overseas.

I read an article that the republicans want to lose other elections as well.
All the left has left is Hillary, think about it.
