I’m sure our Freeper friends who are so concerned about Sarah Palin’s lack of “electability” will visit us shortly along with all the other anti-Palin campaigners, and try to use this as another “indicator” that she can’t win.

The fact that Sarah Palin cannot win the general election has absolutely nothing to do with this so-called "indicator". This is just another liberal media attack in an endless series of liberal media attacks.

The liberal media attacks Sarah Palin for exactly the same reasons that the liberal media used to attack Dan Quayle:

1.) Dan Quayle was a very easy target and Sarah Palin is a very easy target

2.) Dan Quayle was unpopular with the majority of voters and Sarah Palin is unpopular with the majority of voters

3.) The liberal media painted Dan Quayle as the face of the Republican Party and the liberal media now paints Sarah Palin as the face of the Republican Party

4.) By continuously attacking Dan Quayle, the liberal media ridiculed the entire Republican Party, in the eyes of the majority of voters, by painting the entire Republican Party as "The Party of Dan Quayle".

5.) By continuously attacking Sarah Palin, the liberal media now ridicules the entire Republican Party, in the eyes of the majority of voters, by painting the entire Republican Party as "The Party of Sarah Palin".

The actual reasons that Sarah Palin cannot win the general Presidential election in 2012 (and the reason that the liberal media tries so hard to paint the Republican Party as "The Party of Sarah Palin") are plain and simple to anybody that is not blinded by an irrational worship of Sarah Palin:

1.) Sixty five percent (65%) of all voters state that they "will DEFINITELY NOT vote for" Sarah Palin. (See graph below)

2.) Fifty seven percent (57%) of all voters have an "Unfavorable" impression of Sarah Palin. (See graph below)

3.) Seventy one percent (71%) of all voters state that they do NOT believe that Sarah Palin would make a good President. (See graph below)

Only an individual that is totally mesmerized by an irrational Cult of Personality can claim, with a straight face, that they do not have extremely serious concerns about the "electability" of such a candidate as the GOP nominee for President of the United States.

Mindlessly chanting the mantras of Palin Worship ("PDS! PDS! PDS! PDS!") will get you praise and admiration from fellow mantra chanters on these FR Sarah Palin Worship & Devotional Threads but nominating such a candidate will absolutely GUARANTEE the reelection of Barack Hussein Obama in 2012 and devastate the future of America.

America simply cannot afford another four years of Marxist Barack Hussein Obama in the White House. It is time to get serious and seek a conservative candidate that will enter the race with an actual chance of defeating Barack Hussein Obama in 2012.

At least on the Planet Earth, you cannot win a general election when sixty five percent (65%) of all voters state that they "will DEFINITELY NOT vote for you.

Your mileage on Planet Sarah Palin obviously varies.

Blah, blah, blah. Another clueless expert.

You are blind to political reality. As they say, "Have eyes but cannot see."

Blah blah blah... Do you feel like a good little puppet now, after posting that drivel? Newsflash: I don’t care about Republicans. I care about conservatives. And I unconditionally support Sarah Palin - one hundred percent, no exceptions. I hope that fact makes you wallow just a wee bit more in your misery as you sit there in your basement trying to come up with your next round of concern trolling. Good luck.

The fact that Sarah Palin cannot win the general election...

You make a compelling, detailed, well thought out, expertly documented case that Sarah Palin is unelectable. I lack even the remotist statistic against your perfectly crafted argument. All I have is the indisputable fact that twice-elected, wildly popular President Reagan was equally documented to be "unelectable" before he dominated his two Democratic presidential opponents and embarrassed his naysaying detractors, as stated below.

______________________________________________________________________________

"Pundits stated continually that Reagan could not win and the polls for the most part were agreeing with the pundits as all the way up until election day Reagan lagged behind in most polling. In fact on election day itself in 1980 almost no one believed Ronald Reagan would beat Jimmy Carter and that Carter would be elected to a second term despite the shape of the economy and the general feeling that things were going the wrong direction in the country.

"But the people did not agree with the pundits or the GOP country club establishment and Ronald Reagan won in one of the greatest landslides in American history. Defeating Carter by more than eight million votes taking 44 states including Rockefeller’s New York and all of the Northeast states except Delaware, Maryland and Rhode Island and taking California in the process. He not only bucked and proved the GOP establishment wrong but his conservative message was embraced by voters and he continued to carry that voter loyalty into an even larger landslide in 1984 against Walter Mondale who was Carter’s Vice President.

Click here for the article comparing Reagan's unelectability to Palin's.

I do hope you are as fabulously, stupendously, catastrophically, embarrassingly wrong about Palin's unelectability as all of the other know-nothing pundits were about Reagan. Not that I am not calling YOU a know-nothing, of course, only the know-nothing wrong Reagan pundits. I just hope you are stupendously embarrassingly wrong. I guess we'll see.

Back in Reagan’s day the left, the MSM, the DNC and even the establishment rino GOP trotted out all sorts of polls like that...and he ended up winning in a ladnslide...twice. If Sarah gets in, I believe she will do the same. What’s more, I believe they know it, it’s another reason why they fight her so.

You've been posting that fabricated crap poll for several months. Have you gone out and talked to thousands of people to get their opinions of Sarah Palin? Probably not.

I have. And you and your crap polls are wrong.
