Palin waning

I never thought it would happen, but so long as the target still lives, time and politics can bring down even the strongest cults of personality.

Sarah Palin's family drama continues, with daughter Bristol calling off her wedding at the last moment. Many Freepers immediately forget, but many - even older ones - treat the Palins like anyone else, and scold them for their trashiness!

US Navy Vet starts us off:

The Palins kinda impress me as kinda “White Trashy”.

dforest's morality is harsh, but odd:

Well, someone was left at the altar. Not sure who.
If he was divorced, no big deal.

dforest later strikes a lighter tone:

Oh well, the party will probably last longer than the marriage would have! LOL

ansel12 lambastes the media's priorities:

Bristol Palin, a 24-year-old former “Dancing With the Stars” contestant and mom to 6-year-old Tripp

The media should also mention that she has been a long time national spokeswoman for pro-life and abstinence groups, even without mentioning her New York Times bestseller.

Noamie just has a general feeling:

Anyone else get the general feeling that the Palins run with a trashy crowd? Maybe it’s just the Alaskan lifestyle, but some bad general decisions seem to keep being made.

The_Victor is pretty sure all governor's families are brawling and breaking engagements and having kids out of wedlock:

I would love to see the family of any other Governor, who was asked to participate in a national election, held to a similar standard of behavior as the Palins.

DaxtonBrown keeps it classy:

Looks a little too crazy for me.

Crazy in the head, crazy in bed, as my mom always says.
Wait, I think someone else said that.

Lizavetta makes some pretty bog-standard analysis of fame:

I think what we're seeing with the Palin women is what happens to many others who get the hot light of fame put upon them. They find that they like it and want the attention. So they keep doing things to attract the media like post personal stuff on FB and dance with the stars, etc.

Yes, they have every right to do it. But they have to know that it makes the media come after them. Which appears to be what they want.

RginTN defends Bristol by not knowing what a ghostwriter is:

Bristol Palin can't seem to catch a break, nor can Sarah and Todd

Sadly other than giving birth to her baby conceived with a moron, I give her sense of judgment a zero. Where is her college or vocational education? Where is her job and career search, her independence?

Seems like one of those young people whose parents have to pick them up and carry them (and their children) all of their lives.

She's written a book and is involved in abstinence groups. She also owns a house..she seems to be doing pretty well without a college education.

editor-surveyor blames the newbies:

So many of you noobies are Palin haters; what’s the attraction?

Yet even veteran DoughtyOne is on the anti-Palin train!

I’ve not been as big a supporter as many people here have been. Anyone that supported John McCain for return to the U. S. Senate was scratched off my Christmas card list years ago.

Hearing how her endorsement of McCain didn’t help him at all, but her endorsement of other every other winning candidate made all the difference got old quickly.

Her voice had a certain Rosanne Bar flavor to it. It wasn’t exactly the same, but her voice does make me cringe.

Her’s is way down the list of opinions I desire to hear, when contemplating political issues.

Hey, it is what it is.

I wish her and her family well. I just don’t care to hear about them ever again.

greene66 sees this as yet more reason to proclaim that he hates America.

Yep, even so-called “conservatives” join in to malign and bad-mouth a young lady who was trashed to the ends of the earth by the vile liberal media in 2008, and utilized the resulting fame to speak up for pro-life and other conservative causes on tv and the internet; A young lady who is also the daughter of one of the only consistent conservative voices out there who went above and beyond the call of duty to combat Obama and his minion’s vile agenda for America. Someone who hasn’t done a bloomin’ thing to merit such scorn.

Any wonder why I’ve basically given up on this damned country?

This is a softball, but re_nortex hits it out of the park:

I’m just saying none of that stuff helped to take her presidential brand in the right direction—rather it hurt her national political viability.

Then a subscription to the Sarah Palin Channel is just what you need, 9YearLurker. Along with Free Republic, it's a prime source for truthful news and enlightened opinion as I suspect the others that I've pinged in this post will attest. Her channel also offers wholesome, family-oriented programming along with incisive documentaries about the evils of common core, the crisis (caused by hussein) with the invasion of criminals across the border.

Honestly, give it a look using the free trial and I'm certain you'll change your viewpoint on Patriot Sarah Palin, a devout pro-life Christian, and her God-fearing, All-American family.

ansel12 begins to see liberals everywhere:

To me it was great fun while it lasted...but they are now just entertainers...except for the occasions where Sarah might step up to the podium.

I wonder what your purpose is in attacking and mocking and degrading the most influential conservative in America, and her family, but it sure reveals some ugliness.

After you finish this little left wing troll act, I guess you will hit the Russian threads to push Putin, next.

Your politics are showing.

editor-surveyor is also ready for another purge:

9yearLoser is not likely to revise his trolling.

Look at his posting history.
