Sarah Palin is thanking her possible Senate race opponent for cheering her up Thursday morning, saying Democratic Sen. Mark Begich’s attacks on her the day before hearten her that he is beatable in the 2014 election.

In a duo of Facebook posts Thursday morning, Palin slammed Begich’s voting record and accused him of playing “the ol’ Washington political game” to distract Alaskans from his positions.

“Margaret Thatcher used to say, ‘I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.’ So, thank you, Mark Begich, for making me and others exceptionally cheery today!” Palin posted on Facebook under the title, “Really, Mark? Really?”

Also posting an image illustrating Begich’s voting record, Palin said the Alaska Democrat votes with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) 89 percent of the time and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) 91 percent of the time.

Just shut up Sarah. Go back to Wasilla.

1. She has the maturity of a middle schooler.

3. Exactly. "I'm rubber, you're glue...

2. Wow

What a word salad

[FSogol]

4. Prediction: More World Salad on the way!

[Brother Buzz]

6. Here's hoping Congressman Mark Takano (CA-41) attacks that word salad with a red pen

7. LOL: That would cause a red pen shortage. n/t

[Mike Daniels]

5. 100% deflection through snark w/out ever acknowledging the issue over her quitting

Does she actually think her GOP opponents are going to overlook her quitting should she enter the primary?

Palin doesn't want to run for anything. What she wants is for the nomination to be handed to her by default through no-one else running in the primary or dropping out to make room for her.

8. And raise funds to indulge her Queen of Alaska lifestyle.

12. She Does Not Want to Run

In my opinion she does not really want to run for office. This is all about getting more attention. She will do the same thing Donald Trump did during the last election; she will come up with some reason as to why she has decided not to run for office. It will probably be something like she can have more of an affect outside of Washington, D.C.

21. There are already two Republicans running for this office,

and a couple more potentials. I don't foresee any of them stepping aside for Ms. Sarah.

9. This is just another pathetic attempt to get her name in the news.

There's no way she would ever run for the senate. For starters, she's too damn lazy to ever attempt something like that. Secondly, her popularity in Alaska is total shit and she would inevitably lose. No way she would subject herself to that sort of humiliation.

26. Bingo! We have a winner. ^^^ No more calls please

[RudynJack]

10. it's like the tired trope

that first they ridicule you....

The fact is 99.9% of people who are ridiculed deserve it. And they rarely win. Being ridiculed is not a badge of honor. That claim is the last refuge of peoplewho are, almost always, ridiculous.

Edit: I type faster than I can compose sentences.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

11. And the idiots will line up to chuck money at her....

....which she will keep, after she announces she is not running.

She's the smartest dummy in Dummytown.

[miked62916]

13. She is so annoying

I can't wait until she just goes away.

[sufrommich]

14. Wait Begich,a democrat,votes with the democrats??

That's some damn good sleuthing there,Palin. God she's a moron.

[Skip Intro]

15. If she ran, would she have a shot? n/t

[steve2470]

16. I've seen people say here her support in AK is vastly diminished

I'd like more commentary on that. I sure hope it is.

[Blue_In_AK]

22. Yes, she is a joke here.

We all find this vastly amusing.

[Historic NY]

17. Sarah, Lady Thatcher wouldn't give you a spot of tea

if it was the last thing she did.

[BlueDemKev]

18. If Sarah Palin lives to be as old as Margaret Thatcher...

...she still won't be as intelligent as Mrs. Thatcher in one finger.

[zbdent]

19. "if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left"

You mean like the Repugs since Obama announced he was considering running for President? Thanks for clearing that up, Sarah ...

[Blue_In_AK]

20. We are not sure that Sarah is even a resident of Alaska anymore.

The Palins have not filed for a Permanent Fund Dividend since 2011 (for the year 2010). Knowing how much Sarah likes "money for nothing," this would seem to indicate that she hasn't been in the state for a sufficient length of time the past few years to qualify and that she had no plans to return. For instance, Alaskan college students who study out of state can qualify if they indicate on their application that they intend to come back to the state after graduation. Same for service members (and politicians in DC). So is Sarah really a resident?

[Yooperman]

23. She has no desire to run ...trust me... she is a media whore... period.

She will string out the "speculation" that she may run.... right until the final day she would have to register. Then back out...

She could never win .... she knows it.... but will get the media to pay attention to her for months & months.

Sara "media whore" Palin. That is what all the media should start calling her and maybe... just maybe she would realize that everyone is on to her and then she will go back to the hole she crawled out of.

24. Little Miss Cari Bou Bou rears her head to spew another round of vitriol.

25. Gotta love love the "He votes with Jews...." part of the insult. What a fucking ...

...I'm to polite to say it.
