But for her detractors, nothing raises the ire of cynical liberals more than a happy-go-lucky, totally unburdened, freethinking and self-assured conservative woman who has everything she wants and then some.
Liberalism, after all, needs to imagine an unhappy populace. Passing sweeping entitlement programs and convincing voters that big government is the answer only works if people are frustrated with their stations in life.
Truer words were never spoken. Are they EVER happy, about ANYTHING?

The Left being rediculous? The Left is not using the power of their political party to influence a dance competition.
Fans are fans, regardless where they come from. Maybe the Left should try to initiate a counter vote...like they haven't done that already. See the problem is, most people can separate their dislike of Palin from her daughter, who is trying her best and improving everyday of DWTS. For the truly PDS Left, that is impossible for them to do, which makes them look petty, vicious and hateful....and that certainly DOES apply to the PDSers.

Shouldn't the Right be using their time to find a viable candidate for 2012 instead of influencing a dancing competition?
Shouldn't the Left be about finished licking their wounds regarding the HISTORIC election, the result of which obama's radical leftist agenda is stopped...somewhat? Shouldn't they be worried about losing the Senate in 2012 and if they will ever get the house back?
You can't compare the two. The two guys on American Idol were BOTH talented, they could BOTH sing.
In this case, Brstol is not even close to being a better dancer than those voted off. NOT EVEN CLOSE.
My point is that these competitions are almost always political. And yes I can compare the two because the gay man was clearly on another level. Not only did he eventually lose the title but he came close to being voted off several times before the final showdown.
My friend's daughter voted for the cute Chris (her words) multiple times on as many phones as she could get her hands on.
You should also be aware that black people rarely fare well on these types of shows. Unless they are superstars of course.
George Soros donates to a well known GRASSROOTS organization, Moveon
(unlike Koch Industries that FOUNDED their astroturf)
And SEIU has a legal PAC that reports to the FEC (unlike Karl Rove illegal political shenanigans in his non-profits)

BTW, what does that have to do with conservatives turning DWTS into a political circus?
Methinks the libs are quite the conspiracy theorists, at least the ones here on CD.
Methinks that the Palins are Wasilla Hillbillies who struck it rich when Mama Grizzly got on the McCain ticket. Of course, she ruined his career for good but got hers going. Bristol Palin is not a celebrity to begin with; she is riding the coattails of her Tea Party Twittering mom and everyone knows it.
ABC doesn't care who get eliminated, who wins, it's about how many viewers tune in to watch the show in disbelief. So basically it's a win-win situation for both paries: Palin loves money and ABC loves money = two happy peas in a pod. Forget the other hard-working dancers. Dancing has nothing to do with it.
Methinks the libs are quite the conspiracy theorists, at least the ones here on CD.
Free Republic has multiple threads and email lists being emailed out to their groups telling people how to manipulate the online voting to vote more than once, that they're posting pretty much daily, so it's not exactly a conspiracy... and anyone with a brain can see that bristol is not a good dancer.
I only watched Dancing with the stars past 2 wks because it was brought to my attention about unfairness
There is no way Bristol Palin should have beat out Brandy tonite, this turned into a political thing.
If any of you can try to view the past 3 shows,you will see what I mean, I know alot of you may not care too.
Please remember to vote next week regardless if you watch it or not and vote for the best dancer not because of who her mother is.
You'd have to kill me to belong to the tea party, how low can you go to do something like this and to great dancers who worked really hard.
So you think its unfair that show works the way it does and that votes is part of the factor in someone staying on the show. Amazing how the show is only unfair since Bristol is on the show
Its not Bristols fault that Brandy didnt get more votes.
Personally I dont think its fair that brandy nor Jennifer Grey with dance background is on the show with people like Bristol, Rick Fox, Kurt Warner all of which had no dance background.
It's not about an obsession with the Palin family. It is about the far right /Tea Party's obsession with politicizing and winning things just to spite the left/President Obama, even if it means giving someone something they don't deserve or hurting someone who does deserve to win but doesn't support their agenda. This just goes to show that they will go to any length to win and no critical thinking, logic or fairness is involved. They're like a pack of hungry coyotes but can't see that there is food right in front of them.
