Guess What? Americans Don't Like Sarah Palin

They must not love America very much.



As we all know, Sarah Palin really likes ordinary, America-loving Americans. That's because her appeal allegedly lies in being one of them, even though most 'ordinary' Americans are not that rich, and she is very rich. Anyway, she loves patriotic Americans so much that she has dedicated her new book to them, as she writes on her Facebook wall:

The book tour starts this week, and I look forward to it! I'm most looking forward to meeting many of you, shaking your hands, and telling you,"Thanks for loving America." I'll give you a scoop here and tell you what's on the book's Dedication Page – it's dedicated to you – Patriots – who love the U.S.A. as much as I do.

Really, Palin should be celebrating the America-hating, liberal media that keep that stupid thing in the news. Especially since Palin's love is kind of unrequited. According to a Washington Post/ABC News poll, a majority of Americans don't like her that much, and very few would vote for her if she absurdly ran for President.

The poll reveals that 52 percent see the former governor in unfavorable terms. Only 9 percent say they would definitely vote for her if she were a candidate for President in 2012. 53 percent said they would definitely not vote for her. According to the Washington-Post/ABC analysis of the poll, about half as many Americans said they would definitely not vote for John McCain in Spring 2006.

There's a lesson in this for Palin and the GOP; that lesson is obviously that only 9 percent of Americans really love America. .........(more)

1. The media keeps shoving her down our throats. Maybe the

more they do, more people will dislike her. She's already over exposed.

2. Im waiting for the MSM to recognize they cant shove her down our throats

Im tired of all Palin all the time on the cable "news" channels, and I bet Im not alone.

7. You're not alone. The MSM is just following the orders of the corporate masters in promoting Palin

as the rising FEMALE star of the republican party. Yes, they are that desperate.

3. She's a sacrifice...

She's like Bob Dole was in 1996. I think the GOP knows it hasn't a chance in 2012, so the really "qualified GOPers" aren't going to risk a run. So they'll put out Sarah and she'll run...and lose.

The really big race will be in 2016.

Meanwhile, FOXaganda and its wanna-bees will continue trashing Obama and the Dems...

6. I thought that was McCain in 2008?

Do they need another one? I hope so. :)

ed for spelling.

10. I hope you're right but I don't think so..

Here's why: Because 75% of Americans have an extremely short attention span and an even shorter memory for that which frames historical context. Did you read Whats a matter with Kansas by Thomas Frank? Several percentage points of the vote Obama got were "weary of Bush" votes. If those are flipped, and I think they will be then hello Huckabee.

5. Actually, I don't think Sarah is "very rich" at all.

Other than having her home built by a local contractor as a likely kick back for the hockey arena in Wasilla, I don't think she made a lot of money as mayor, Todd has some sort of cushy oil company job, but it's not an executive. And their fishery business probably "nets" them some money, but again, not millions.

I bet even the governors job doesn't pay that much.

That's why the RNC spent all that money for clothes for her in the campaign. Cindy really IS rich, and they couldn't have Cindy "dress down" to the Wallmart clothing that Sarah would be wearing. So they dress Sarah up.

That's also why she quit the governors job... so she could go on these paid speaking gigs and write books and shit and NOT disclose how much money she is being paid to do so. The Wasilla hillbillies are cashing in on her momentary fame.

8. Hey, she only claims to see Russia from her porch -- nothing about seeing America.

And certainly not Americans.
