I know I have never watched Dancing With The Stars.....not even when Emmitt was winning it all. Makes you wonder just what group of people finds it so compelling: http://tv.msn.com/the-wrap/bristil-palin-conspiracy/story/?gt1=28103 Hmmmmmm....... :wink: :lol:
Yes....really! Not too hard to comprehend when you realize that the conservative voting base is NOT made up of white, educated.....right-wing conservatives who make over $250,000.00 annually. That group....yes.....may be very heavily GOP but there aren't enough numbers in that group to elect the mayor of Gainesville, Fl. much less a President or a majority of House of Reps. The broad base numbers have always come from a different voting population than such an elite group as I describe above......The GOP is only electable because of a voting group that just may be predicated to voting much more so with it's heart rather than it's head and they certainly seem passionate about Palin.......any Palin..
.....and that characterization could well fit one or more segments of the population for whom Brandy has great appeal.....ya think? C'mon man....seriously?
Hey....I didn't start the controversy or pen the article. There has to be reasons and even if every conservative, college educated white male making 250K plus....even watched the show....and then voted for her I don't see that as a large enough group to skew the numbers at all. It's a bigger voting base than just that group. And now we know what they do on TV night...... 8)
No you didn't pen the article.....but you did make the following statement: Which is absolute bullsh!t and certainly - at worst - no more true than the electability of the lib/dems......take a look and see who is feeding at the government trough creating the welfare state and encouraging policies to facilitate the destruction of the greatest society the world has ever known and enslaving your children and mine to the Chinese.....my guess is you'll find a lot more lib/dems/socialist that you will GOP conservatives.....just guessing. C'mon man, really......that's just ridiculous. Carry on....you and dancing with the stars, I've said my piece.
I suspect the real volume of voters on both sides are pretty far removed from you and I in many ways.
I've long thought that we should have awards at the end of each year for significant posts. I nominate this one for the Wackiest Post of the Year. DWTS-A GOP Conspiracy :lol:
Hey....I didn't write the article and for whatever reason GMA spent 20 minutes on the blasted thing the other morning........as if most of us could care. ( GMA just mentioned it again a few minutes ago ) The gist of it is the dance critics don't think she is all that good and the voting public keep her going so you wonder what the make-up of that voting public is. Here is another take on such a significantly important phenomena: http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2010/11/17/brandys-dwts-boot-anyone-else-outraged/?hpt=Sbin Myself....I wonder who in the hell is watching to begin with.....much less taking the time to vote. Now I think we have our answer to those questions.... :wink: :lol: :lol:
Dude get a grip, next thing you'll be complaining about is that Ruben won American Idol because liberals and blacks voted as a block.
:evil: ok the first draft didnt take...... lets try this again.... DAVE YOU NEED TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO W. YOUR TIME VOLUNTEER WORK EX; BIG BROTHERS HOSPITALS SOMETHING...... IF YOU DIDNT WANT TO CAUSE AN ISSUE THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER PRINTED THE ARTICLE.... SHAME ON YOU AND HOW DARE YOU CONTRIBUTE TO THIS TRASH... bRISTOL IS SIMPLY A 19 YEAR OLD WHO WAS INVITED TO STEP OUT OF HER ELEMENT FOR WHAT TO BE PUBLICLY HUMLIATED FOR TRYING HER BEST I HAVE 2 GRANDAUGHTERS HER AGE AND I GIVE HER ALOT OF CRDIT FOR TRYING SOMETHING NEW AND DIFFERENT MAYBE SHE ISNT THE BEST BUT SHE HAS TRIED HARDER AND PUT UP W. MORE CRAP THAN ANYONE EVER ON THE SHOW. FOR THIS REASON IN THE 1ST TIME OUT OF ALL EIGHT YEARS AND I FAITHFULLY WATCH IT I VOTED AND I VOTED FOR BRISTOL. BUT AFTER THIS SEASON I MAY NOT WATCH IT AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE WAY SHE IS BEING TREATED..HOW DARE ANYONE CRITIZE HER FOR TRYING TO TRY SOMETHING OUT OF HER ELEMENT I ALWAYS ENCOURAGE MY GRANDAUGHTERS TO GO BE ADVENTUREOUS TRY SOMETHING NEW IT MAKES THEM THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE THEY ARE TODAY
For the record....I agree with you Mrs. Too bad some others potentially feel the need to let their political views thrust her into such an awkward position.....whichever way this turns out.
Such as youself! You started this topic, posted the article then followed with your typical inflammatory and insulting statement! As Mrs JO'Co said more eloquently than I, young Palin had the courgage of her convictions to step out of her comfort zone and do something she was invited to do, in the face of intense criticism. As I am told, Her mother, when introduced to the studio audience, was booed(!). God bless her for her courage and then she gets skewered by the left like this....are you kidding me. WTF! The young lady perservered, became popular - for whatever reason - with the viewers and won the competition. Are you telling me that this is the first time that somebody other than the most technically proficient dancer won the event.....of course not. If that is what they wanted, they wouldn't hold a viewer vote......do you believe that ALL the other winners were political conservatives who could hold sway over the ignorant viewers based solely upon their mother's political standing? You are really something.....
I definitely have no issues with Bristol for stepping out and giving this a try.....that's great that she did it. If she is doing well.... fair and square.....then so be it....good for her. If people are voting based on their political beliefs then they are personally to blame for any pain this has caused her. Ditto for anyone who has done anything to artificially sway the vote tally. Ditto for anyone questioning her legitimacy if all votes are counted fairly and the votes were objectively made ( with the exception that "she's cute"....that's allowed ). And by the way.....I am merely reporting the news....I didn't make this up....really.
The ONLY people that G.A.S. about this are the lefties.....can't you see that?! Nobody else gives a squat about why people voted for her, nor should they. They voted for her because they wanted to - end of story. And those that did owe nobody any explanation whatsoever......and THEY are PERSONALLY to blame???? :shock: The logic and the means by which you affix responsibility on any issue is one of lifes great mysteries......it is just bizarre.
:cry: Again it is obvious you have never watched the show.....rarely do voters vote simply because someone is doing a great job dancing its based on what tv show your on what sport you like.... and how popular you are the two left Jennifer gray: Please she grew up on broadway her dad is Joel Gray the other one is a disney kid has his own show on disney both are trained actors both can play to an audience. unlike Bristol she is really a reg young adult from Alaska thrown into the limelight by her mom. even on the Alaska show(which by the way is really good) you can see the kids have been pretty much raised as normal regular kids. w. parents who all make mistakes in raising their kids they are face the same issues .... I dont believe this is a political thing I think now she is getting votes because people are sick and tired of the way people are treated its almost abusive what the press has done.Why does everything have to be political I think you are obsessed to the point where you have forgotten to be objective. but then again maybe you never were objective in the first place never could see both sides of the picture oh and before you go there I was raise going camping in the Sierras taught to shoot a gun when I was 7 have fished but I do hate gutting the fish and yes even had a boat 46 ft Sail boat to sail the ocean blue but scared of sharks
You got that right. Don't blame you about the sharks by the way. BT....you miss the point. I doubt seriously Bristol is there to win a popularity or a political contest or to see just how popular her Mom is. She just wants to dance her ass off and be judged for how she performs......not for who she is. If that is not happening and she is catching flak for it then it's too bad it is going down that way.
