HRC Group - Sarah Palin

At first when she came onto the scene I thought nothing of her. Then she started talking and the things she would say were inflammatory, ignorant, false and downright stupid. After awhile I could not even look at a picture of her. When she would pop up on a webpage I would close it or scroll away as fast as I can until she was out of view. I'm curious. Is this happening with any of you when you see Bernie? It's starting to happen with me.

1. To be honest, it has happened to me with Jane Sanders

She has a simpering tone like she's talking to 2nd-graders, I flip the tv whenever she comes on. Bernie I can still get through 5-10 minutes of a stump speech, tops.

I have not seen any interviews with Jane. They just happened when I wasn't lookin'. I suppose I can look them up on youtube but I'm not sure I want to.

moron.

We're blessed with two candidates who are bright, highly intelligent, concerned about the well-being of the people of the United States, and are able to weather the rough seas of American politics without quitting and running off home.

I still have nothing against Sanders but the supporters are just too negative and obnoxious.

6. Some of them seem to be displaying the same sort of unwavering, absolutist orthodoxy

that the Naderites did in 2000. That gave us George W. Bush, 9/11, and The Lost Decade. I can't go through that again...

Who do these people think they are? Whatever they are they aren't the majority. They aren't even a majority of Sanders supporters.

8. Hey Aloha, savalez~ With the disingenuous demonizing that BS has railed against Hillary

and the Democratic party.. the less I see of him the better.. same goes for mrs BS, too.

It's been plastered wall to wall burnie around for over a year.. who the hell wouldn't be sick of him, who wasn't buying what he's selling.

Not to mention his dissing President Obama on the campaign trail and wanting him to be primaried in 2012... for more disingenuous reasons. Obama started the revolution.. BS was late to the party.

he would act any other way. He doesn't seem as stupid as Sarah and he's not funny at all.

but I heard him speak many times on Lunch with Bernie and was not overly impressed.

Also, I am not actually comparing him with her. I am comparing reactions to their image.
