Palin in 2012? Bring it!

As I was listening to Limbaugh on my way to school, I got to hear some of his infamous tripe about Obama's election to be President. Such as:

"The Dow Jones plummeted today even though The Anointed One (Obama) is now President. What does that tell you?" It tells me that the Dow is continuing a downward trend that has been occurring for over a month now. Someone should tell Limbaugh that the Dow Jones is determined by more than just who won the election. Current economic climates would matter more, I would think. Also, Obama isn't President yet. George Bush is. Obama is President Elect.

And here's what was the best one:

"You want to know why McCain's staff is attacking Palin? It's because she's a conservative." Yep. It's not because Palin is a backstabbing, spiteful, mean-spirited, spotlight hogging compulsive liar that was trumped up in a desperate last-ditch attempt to rally the base. It's because McCain's a faggy liberal douche.

And if you think we've seen the last of Palin, many who agree with Limbaugh that Palin is the new face of the GOP are pushing hard for all those so-called "Georgetown Conservatives" to begrudgingly accept the notion. Expect this to drive a huge schism in the GOP.

On one hand you have Limbaugh, Hannity, and the rest of the nutball group that want Palin. Why do they want Palin? Because she's so much like Dubya. Short on substance, full of lies, but perfectly willing to be a complete tool and say whatever is need to win over and over and she winks while she does it. She's proudly ignorant and doesn't bother to read any news publications, which makes controlling her information pool all the easier. The problem is that, on the other hand, the older "blue blood" conservatives detest Palin, citing her as ignorant, uneducated, and unable to grasp complicated concepts that the President must be able to properly address. It seems the only conservatives that do like Palin are the hard-lined Christian Fundamentalists.

So, what you are left with is a party where a very vocal segment wants to go further to the right, further along religious fundamentalism, and further into transforming the USA into a theocracy. The others want a return to intellectual conservatism and original principles, such as less government intervention, smaller federal government, and stronger state rights. It must be an infuriating time to be a David Brooks, David Frum or a George Will. Good thing Buckley died when he did. Otherwise, I imagine he'd be repeatedly smacking his forehead at the notion of a Palin 2012 run.

Go ahead. Run a Sarah Palin candidacy in 2012. Watch as she mumbles in about 200 "and also" run on sentences. Watch as Mitt Romney and other intellectual conservatives chew her up and spit out all the dumb shit she's so filled to the brim with. Watch as the GOP turns from one of principled minimal government to one of Christian Dominionism and far-right intrusion, always watching over your shoulder to make sure you're following God's Law. Watch as the GOP steeps further into McCarthy-esque Nationalism witch-hunting as they selectively decide who and what is Really American. Watch as all of the vile, disgusting, and deplorable things that came about from the GOP during the final two months of this last election become increasingly magnified and transformed into the core principles of the New GOP.

And if you think I'm blowing a bunch of smoke about this...
