The former Alaska governor retorted on her Facebook page: "There's one way to tell Vice President Biden that we're tired of folks in Washington distorting our message and hampering our nation's progress: Hoffman, Baby, Hoffman!" ...

1. Tired of folks in Washington HAMPERING our nation's progress?

Sarah must live in Upside-Down World where black is white, up is down, and regressive, Puritanical social policies are "progress".

2. progress to her means going backward.

So yeah, using her definitions, Washington IS hampering. Good for the nation! Bad for the backwards people.

3. Hell yes

Destroy the party for a generation. Young people already prefer the democratic party 66-34, why not go for 70%+.

4. Great news for Democrats and Liberals.

The more the Republicans fragment into different factions, the more I like it!

PURGE, BABY, PURGE!!!!!

5. She is DESTROYING any chance for the Republicans in '10 and probably '12.

7. I tell you she is positioning herself

for a run for president. And she doesn't want real republicans in the party, because she knows they won't put her up as a candidate.

8. We'd squish her like a bug now if she were a Presidential candidate: she couldn't even last a full

term as Governor of Alaska. Alaska, with fewer people than any state other than Vermont or North Dakota, has about the population of Charlotte NC. So although Palin did survive as mayor of Wasilla (population 10K), there's a case to be made that she's not competent to be governor of anywhere and wouldn't even survive a stint as mayor of any of the fifteen or twenty largest US cities. How could she survive the Presidency?

Run, Sarah, run!

9. If Abraham Lincoln were alive today he'd be a Democrat!

And Caribou Barbie and El Rushbo are prima facie evidence of that!
