CRAP 2012!
31 07 2009It’s like the end of a magic show. The magician stands there in the spotlight, all eyes are upon him. A flourish of the cape, a puff of smoke, and…..poof! Gone. The smoke clears, and he is nowhere to be seen. The audeince stares. They look at each other. There is murmuring. Nobody knows quite what to do. Is it over? Should we go home now? Will he pop up again somewhere else in the room?
Awkward silence.
That’s where we are. Sarah Palin has left the building. We think.
Before she surfaces again, let’s take this moment to announce the results of our Mudflats Poll. If Sarah Palin does indeed appear in a puff of smoke up on the balcony somewhere and announce that she’s starting her own political party, what should it be named? Here’s the Top Ten List!
Drumroll Please…..
#10) The “I Did It On Twitter” Party – (The IDIOT Party)
#9) The Know Nothing Party
#8) I Am Also, Too a Candidate! Also.
#7) The Mavwreck Party
#6) The Pity Party
#5) The American Sarah Society, Holding America Together (The ASSHATs)
#4) The Bitter Quitter Twitter Party
#3) The Party to Nowhere
#2) It’s My Party (and I’ll Quit if I Want To)
and the best name for Sarah Palin’s new political party is….
The Conservative Republican American Party – CRAP!
Yes, in 2012, you too may be able to step behind that little curtain and vote for CRAP.
Thanks to all who contributed! #10 – rebekkah, #9 – (Secret Shopper, Paula, Gasman, Harley, Seattlefan & others), #8 – Karen, #7 – bucfan, #6 – (powerkb, BWilder, Aussie Blue Sky, Cathy from Colorado), #5 – Gasman, #4 – bucfan, #3 – mlaiuppa, #2 – (Geneva freespeech, Jimmy Wellington), #1 – Gasman
Enjoy the rest of the entries HERE. Don’t forget to read the comments. There were far too many to include them all!

I don’t know why Meg is still around Sarah, but it’s good that she isn’t around anywhere I am.

#51 Bystander, what’s gryphen saying? I don’t go there because of the computer issues I experience. For whoever asked about JTP not being a repub anymore, he announced sometime around the time Meghan McCain said he was a dumb *ss or whatever she called him. He has the same mentality as silly sarah, stomp off in a snit if anyone dares state the obvious. eg “you’re a dumb *ss, you’re dumb as a box of rocks”, etc. Isn’t somebody going to cruise by in their boat this weekend to check out Casa Palin? Maybe they could be wearing one of those things they advertise on tv to improve hearing? You know, forgot what they’re called, old lady wearing it at the bingo hall…check out if plates are flying or whatever.

you HAVE to go over to Immoral Minority – breaking news!

JC in Co #53. Gryphen reports an impending divorce for the Queen and the Toad (who did not become a prince when he was kissed).
I too, often have computer issues when I go to Immoral Minority, but it is coming in loud and clear today…

London Bridges – Thanks for directing me to Immortal Minority. Yep, it is breaking news. All I can say is WOW. Her life is a soap opera, unbelievable.
No wonder she’s not tweeting. All I can say is let the truth come out.

#55 Bystander, I put on my firefox browser and went on over, wow! I mentioned it to my hubby, he looked at me with pity in his eyes. He just doesn’t understand that she must be prevented from ever getting within 10 miles of the WH. My other pet project is harrassing the birthers, it’s practically a full time job. I was pleased to hear Bill Mahr last night state that instead of snickering at these tin foil hat wack jobs we need to grind them into the ground & stop this sh*t. What really makes me angry is that the dems in power don’t do a d*mn thing about it. Why do citizens like you and me and Rachel, Keith, Bill Mahr, Letterman & Conan have to do the dirty work? This is my biggest problem with my party, so many of them refuse to stand up for what’s right because it might make somebody mad. In that respect the repubs have always had passion about their agenda no matter how stupid it is.

In direct and frank conversation with staunch conservative, Republican and Alaskan who strongly supported Dan for mayor of Anchorage. “Sarah, who I know and has helped me out in the past DID NOT do the right thing in stepping down, she did us all wrong”

I also too was having lots of problems with Gryphen’s site – but IE had an update – IE8 – and has been good since updating – was driving me crazy before!

Palin’s Party.
It’s My Party. Like, just sayin’, ya know. The IM-Party. Same idea as IM-Proper, or any other IM word.
Cheers, from Eastern NYS

We did have a CRAP party in Canada: the Conservative-Reform Alliance Party. they changed their name the second day of their founding convention to the Canadian Alliance, & eventually took over the Progressive Conservatives and have since abandoned any pretense of being progressive.

Every time I read Mudflats I get a chuckle. My hat’s off to the talented, clever and funny people who add their 2 cents.
