Why America is growing tired of Palin
CNN ^ | 21 January 2011 | Gloria Borger

Posted on 01/21/2011 4:10:24 AM PST by Erik Latranyi

Washington (CNN) -- OK, you've got Palin fatigue. Not to worry. So does much of the country: The latest CNN poll shows that 56 percent of Americans view her unfavorably.

More damaging, though, is this: Sarah Palin's unfavorable rating among women has gone up 10 points. And 59 percent of those all-important independent voters don't like her -- and that's up a stunning 14 points in just a few months.

You might argue it's because of the debate surrounding the Tucson shootings -- specifically, Palin's tone-deaf response to the unfair charges that she was somehow responsible for a deranged shooter's state of mind. And that could well be part of it. But there's more: She's completely overstayed her welcome.

The liberals are desperately trying to tear down anybody who could be a threat to their own creation ---- President Obama, the man on course to repeat President Carter's 1980 performance in 2012.

I happened to hear that vile old skank Joan Rivers attack Palin on TV. It was disgusting. I don’t know what it is that drives liberals to such a frenzy of hatred against her, but she must be doing something right.

Perhaps this means THEY will stop talking about her.

Not.

I’m growing tired of CNN and the rest of the Democrat Media Complex’s propaganda they pass off as “reporting.”

OK, you’ve got Palin fatigue. Not to worry. We in the media have PDS to spare, and intend to spare no expense at proving it!

Hard to say. It's clear she is an irritant to them. But I also think it's hard to dismiss polls showing that she's as unpopular as Obama, perhaps more so. Yeah, yeah, polls are rigged, polls can be twisted, and polls were pretty much right on in 2008.

Conservatives would be better advised to figure out what it is that the so-called "independents" don't like about her and, if possible, fix it. But on thread after thread, I keep telling people that I work with college students every day, and none of the conservatives kids love her. They are all jazzed about most other conservatives, and even many who are RINOS, but for whatever reason they are not excited about Palin. My take is that she's too close to their mother's age.

***She’s completely overstayed her welcome.***

The MSM plan is coming into focus.

For 2 years, these morons have depicted Sarah - in every possible negative way; in order to assassinate her character. It’s clear that tactic has not worked - so they now must bid farewell.

Sarah wins;)

Idiots!

The bigger question is who cares about Gloria Borger?

At any rate, Sarah is a bit overexposed, there is some risk of people getting too much of her. I hope she tones things down going into 2012 in terms of reality shows, media circuses and so on - she needs to stick to looking serious and Presidential.

America needs someone exactly like here as President, I hope either it works out with Sarah, or there’s a brilliant bait and switch to her political/ethical/moral/leadership spirit twin (whoever that might be, I sure don’t see one among the current crop of GOP hopefuls).

the Left is scared diaperless by Sarah, or, for that matter, any heterosexual-supportive, family-supportive, church-supportive, constitution-supportive overachieving woman.

Any poll that doesn't list its internals doesn't warrant being given the time of day. Palin is far more popular now that the Left has chosen to oviously falsely accuse her of being accessory to murder, and even moreso since she came out swinging at the evil droolers for their dishonesty.

This poll is just more Leftist weasel runny rump snot. They can jam it back where they got it, and like it.

I can't wait until Sarah is our president, and she will be, by a landslide.

Well, anyone we have who is doing well is a threat to the libs! Maybe at least if they are busy attacking our Sarah, they are leaving the rest alone for now. Sadly all they do is attack and call names and charge us with racism. (even though there is only ONE race = the Human Race) Maybe they are so busy attacking Sarah, that they aren’t attacking Paul Ryan, Tim Scott, etc... yet.... Libs just make me SICK. I wish they would all crawl back under the rock they slivered out from under

They write a plethora of anti-Palin articles every day then cite polls on her popularity.

The MSM do love their self-fulfilling prophecies, don’t they?

Yeah, you keep your finger in the water of those college marxist indoctrinees, get a real temperature check on the political climate.

BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!

(P.S.) Those college pukes represent about 2% of the vote in a national election. Can you say "irrelevant"?

I can.

And they still have to run bogus polls trying to prove she's unpopular. If they ran legitimate polls she would win.

That's what's really worrying them. They know the truth.

Someone is very scared of Sarah Palin. She must have turned down the usual bribe money.

“none of the conservatives kids love her.”

It is a pop culture thing.
Celebrities, teachers, the media..They all painted a bull’s eye on her, and have convinced the kids to hate her.
Ask any kid under 25 about Palin and they will go “YUK”.
It is the in thing to do now.

As for me, the more hate that I see, the more I believe that she would be the best POTUS of all the crowd.

Minds full of mush. Maybe Palin should say she smoked pot in order
to patronize those who are to lazy to Vote.

I've never met a Conservative college student. And if you're a superior
I would factor in the grade answer to any of your questions to them.
