Wonkette
Are you ready for 2012 polls? Well, too bad. Gallup is already doing 2012 polls. Nate Silver will not even get a break to buy a baseball team or whatever. According to Gallup, of the last losers calling themselves “Republican,” 67% want Alaskan turkey Sarah Palin to run, 62% wish Mormon gay-hater Mitt Romney would have another losing campaign, and 61% hope squirrel-eating socialist and Romney-hater Mike Huckabee will have another go in 2012.
None of the other ‘08 never-was losers cracked 50% support. Bobby Jindal, Newt Gingrich, Lindsey Graham, Rudy Giuliani — fuck those guys, right?
It is also hilarious that Gallup doesn’t bother mentioning the Super Losers of ‘08. Nobody’s asking about the 2012 prospects of Fred Thompson or old what’s his name, Walnuts.
In other words, the Republican Party will nominate Ron Paul and Duncan Hunter in 2012 and maybe make a dozen state ballots nationwide.
GOP Faithful Like Palin, Romney, Huckabee in 2012 [Gallup]
Jeebus Christ on a crutch, can we please have the 2008-elected President sworn in before we start the next campaigns? Don’t these morans have other things to do (their jobs, representing their constituents, slaughtering wolves from airplanes) instead of spending the next 4 years flying around lying to people to raise money?
I don’t get why Republicans keep saying they want Sarah Palin for 2012. They do know that the majority of Americans think she’s unfit to be President, right? They do know that they will need more people than just “Republicans” to vote for her in order for her to win, right? I don’t get it. Do they want to lose in 2012? Or are they just so crazy about this mouth-breathing Alaskan idiot that they have tuned out reality?
67% of the Republicans, 100% of the Democrats (Paul Begalla)
Oh, please-please-please let it be Palin!
The Cyber-Mitt 2012 will have adapted and improved to nearly hu-man capability by then. Which would scare me (and dogs in kennels).
This is always how it is, though. The party wants a guy associated with the losing team–but not the guy who was the actual candidate–to run, because they’ve heard of him. I’m pretty sure the top choice for Dems following the 2000 election was Joe Lieberman.
Not gonna happen Ken. With any luck Duncan will be in jail, unless you mean Duncan Jr who has his Congressional seat now. How about Duncan and Tom Tancredo? That would be good fun indeed.
Repuggies hunger for fail. Why not go even further like another Bush like Jeb? Or how about Tom Delay? Man, they are losers to the core. At least we’re up for some entertainment in 2012.
jindal and the huckster have already been up in teh Iowa sniffin for
teh caucus voats.
NoWireHangers: You are talking about a group of people who as little as a month ago believed that all the election polls were wrong because “the pollsters all live in blue states and are biased.” Of course they believe that the whole country is in love with Moose-a-lini.
NoWireHangers: Reality has a librul bias.
NoWireHangers: I remember that “Reshape the Party” thing or whatever it was that had the Truck Nutz at #1 had some people in comments suggesting that all states which went to Obama be “force-seceded to Canada”, whatever that means. And an extremely popular opinion was that Obama won because McCain was not conservative enough. So just keep in mind, this is the grasp on reality that we are working with here.
Oh, pleeze, pleeze, pleeze, God. The Dems did the right thing in 1964 and we’ve been paying for it ever since. You owe us. Pleeze let one of these numbnutz be the candidate for the Reptards in 2012. The southern strategy reaches its penultimate moment. The Republicans will ONLY win the south. (includes Utah and Oklafuckinghoma).
And no one else better dare call the Dust Bowl what I just did, or, or, I don’t know what.
And Pleeze, God, smote the ragweed with the sword of death so my head will clear of congestion so I can resume a fairly normal, productive life and quit reading wonkette like the loser I am becoming. Have become. I can’t even line through that “am becoming” because I’m old, congested and high on Lortab, however it’s spelled. Generic for hydrocodone which is an ass-kicking way to deal with a sinus headache.
Not_So_Much: Be careful what you wish for — I hoped Republicans would nominate that complete idiot, what’s his name, Texas governor back in 00. Those fools fell for it.
Palin can’t sink far enough or fast enough for me.
Can’t they just nominate our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and call it a day. I know for a fact he’s a Real American.
Did you know that if Mary had an abortion the Immaculate Conception story would end with a real bummer?!?
Baby killers!!
Palin really deserves to wear the mantle of Ronald Reagan. She has all his most distinctive characteristics — the native stupidity, the relentless optimism, the faith that strangles reason and drives home with its gutted corpse on the car hood, the small-mindedness of a strip-mall shoe salesman, and a bitchy, controlling, overwrought spouse.
NoWireHangers: “…Do they want to lose in 2012? Or are they just so crazy about this mouth-breathing Alaskan idiot that they have tuned out reality?”
They have tuned out reality for years, and done their best to drive away anyone who suggests they are doing this. Occasionally some of the members who are not too far gone say something about this, but their leadership will hear none of it.
Sekula-Gibbs / Bachmann in ‘12.
Come here a minute: I am with you. She really worries me. She’ll have four more years (or 8 in 2016) to combat the experience argument by then and will be a better campaigner. I have been worried since McCain nominated her. We cannot underestimate her or the idiocy of the electorate, many of whom just seem to accept every lie that spews from her mouth.
I’m waiting for Sarah Palin to announce that she is running for President in the 2010 elections.
Dave J.: Hey man there’s an impostor on the Palin/Turkey thread going by Dave S. making non-funnee comments and calling us all losers.
You always bring the snark and I thought you should know cuz he’s bitin’ your style.
NoWireHangers: I think they jumped ship on reality long before they fell ass over tea kettle for the Dinghy.
Doglessliberal: Come here a minute: Yes you both have a point, because had McCain/Palin run against Kerry/Edwards we might have Wasilla all up in the White House. Barack Obama saved the Democratic Party. Hillary probably would have pulled off a win, but she would have done it with napalm and a flame thrower. Barry won on a “unify the country” ticket, and it worked. If Barack Obama does anything in four years he must build a lasting hunger for change and make America want progressive legislation. We cannot EVER go back to the dark W days or even the Reagan days. Never again. NEVER.
DustBowlBlues: praying to the wrong god again….Toilet god is much more receptive…
magic titty: But he was born somewhere else!!!! This means that the Grand Old Farty will need to convince Dems to change that little bit of birth nonsense regarding presidents, and then watch Schwarzenegger sneak in just ahead of Jeebus….
BTW, I’m getting all sorts of rightwing craziness from my mother and her ilk, fancy analyses which want to count the land mass that McWhatsisname won and dire predictions about the empirical evidence of Bread and Circusses the Obama era issues in…. MOM, NO WONDER I’M DRINKING ALREADY….! Is anybody else getting this shit…?
NoWireHangers: Amen
NoWireHangers:*NoWireHangers: “Or are they just so crazy about this mouth-breathing Alaskan idiot that they have tuned out reality?”
It was the turkey-carnage video. She had them at the first stream of blood. The Alaska guv has set a high bar, indeed.
Romney will have to do an interview standing in front of cattle getting slaughtered kosher-style (for the Jewish) and the Huckster will have to personally slaughter some pigs. This is where Bobby Jindal has an advantage, because being a Hindu, he is totally into cutting the throats of sacrificial goats and sheep. (Is there a self-respecting libtard on the planet who isn’t going to insist he’s Hindu?)
Who gets the movie rights? Night of the Living Dead brought to you by the RNC.
Before it’s all over, they’ll be wrestling each other nekkid in a pool of blood. Imagine what that will do to sew up the NASCAR voters? Not to mention the vampires.
By 2012 the economy will be so bad we will have several single issue parties competing; Sarah Palin (R) won’t even break 2 percent. The Free-Food-For-Peeps party will get he highest percentage of the popular vote. And a close second to T. Boone Pickens.

phildeaux: Win. You.
2012? My money’s on Athuhualpa.
we have to face the facts that there are alot of really stupid people in this country and they are starting to be a real drag on anyone with half of a brain.
how else can you explain people like Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin? it would be funny if the last eight years were not so disastrous on every level.
the economy is destroyed and will never recover to the standard of the past 10 years. I know someone very well (family) who was the head of fixed income for one of these investment banks (yes he walked with millions two years ago) and it is his opinion that there is much worse to come from these clowns in the form of credit card debt. His quote about the bankers and politicians: “they are all complicit, they are all lying, and none of them are gonna take a haircut of any kind”
80 percent of the liqudity has left the building and like Elvis, aint never coming back.
interest rate:0%
unemployment:10%+
dow jones ind: 4000 if lucky
dollar: crashing
China: not lending
Have a nice 2009 and bone up on your bread making skills
Toomush Infermashun: No but my uncle is dating some ditzy valley girl half his age who spent an entire lunch trying to convince my Dad that Obama went to a madrassa amongst other things.
It’s gonna be a long four years… hopefully this is enough to raise Limbaugh’s blood pressure to the heart attack point.
Guliani2012/911 FOREVR!!!11!!!!911!!!!!!!
magic titty: If they nominate Romney you’re close to getting what you want since it is in the Mormon mythology that Jesus is an American, albeit an immigrant, but an immigrant in the proud old-timey crossing-the-Atlantic-not-the-Rio-Grande way that all us real Americans are immigrants. I figured that if Mitt had gotten the nod half the evangelicals would have rejected him because Mormonism looks like a fun-house mirror sort of Christianity (Jesus on American soil, personal planetary empires in heaven, no blacks, and everybody wears magic underwear…crazy!) and the other half would have converted to Mormonism because it looks like the perfection of Christianity (Jesus is American, in heaven I’ll be a God, no blacks and I get to wear magic underwear…sweet!).
None of it matters. 2012 is the Mayan Catastrophe year, remember?
kimbongil:
You mean the American bankers creating a worthless paper market based on ‘mortgages’ worth 800 times the yearly global asset productivity is going to have a global effect?
So, yea, your prediction is probably true.
Lets see, how are Bush and the Republicans explaining this crisis? Oh yea, Barney Frank did it.
Palinz in 2012 or anytime will be great and Wonkette will support me on this. The traffic will triple or more. Plus, she like killin’ stuff
Sarah’s gonna stuff the Huckster and Mittens through the turkey grinder, you betcha’.
I think when Sarah Palin runs the turkey head grinding guy should become the new Joe the Plumber.
“I’m Ed the Turkey-head-grinder. Please don’t tax me for working hard!”
Kev-o-tron: It would be nice to imagine Limbaugh’s blood pressure gushing like Ol’ Faithful through the top of his head….
Craig/Foley 2012!
Toomush Infermashun: the CPAC convention would be an awesome place for a plane to crash or something.
Hannity looks like Lou Costello.
Listen to the certainty of talk radio blowhards. They created their own reality and are mired in it like the mastodons of old in real-reality tar-pits. Such a sad ending for the party of Lincoln.
The talk-radio scribes do the thinking for their adherents. They and their listeners rarely allow facts to intrude on their bizarre fantasy world. An adaptation that allowed them to prosper in one era can doom them in a changed era.
At least I can hope. If Obama hesitates, we could be back in the natural environment of the asshats — and all bets are off.
The Palin/Hannity ticket will be all the rage in the primary season, until voters learn that Sean and Sarah have given Bristol yet another child.
Even so, the Limbaugh/Coulter/O’Reilly axis will tell the brain-dead GOP voters that we’d be better off with Ellie Mae from Wasilla than with a colored fella as president.
Palin/Butterstick ‘12
magic titty: I think you mean Virgin Birth. The Immaculate Conception is Mary was born without original sin. So sayeth the Mighty Space God.
/buttsecks
Doglessliberal: Nah, I’m not worried about Sarah. The country-club Republicans hate her, and so do the netroots. Sarah Palin = sexy Dan Quayle, and ol’ Dan’l dropped out before Iowa in ‘96 because none of the CEOs who buy Republican elections would trust him with their munnies. She can raise a few things in an AOL chat room, but money’s not one of them.
This time truthy Ron Paul will not be denied. Sarah will have Kid Six and can promise to bring a turkey to the White House. Newt will have another affair/divorce by then. Tancredo is a midgit in so many ways. Duncan Hunter is a rusty old bucket of puke. Lordy, this is fun. They got nobody.
I’m thinking 2012 Repug ticket will be Kid Rock / Lara Flynn Boyle. Once they’re in, they’ll pack the cabinet with Bruce Willis, “Kennedy”, Victoria Jackson, Adam Sandler, Pat Sajak …

It’s gonna be Mittens/Jindal, you watch. And they’re gonna lose like Dewey lost to Roosevelt.
NO WAY,Lazy Media- it is Palin/Jindal 2012- 2 creationists. The new party symbol will be Jesus riding on a T-Rex.
