Bristol Palin On Dancing with the Stars


Bristol Palin on Dancing with the Stars is now a political punching bag for Liberals who are making national news by commenting that Sarah Palin's daughter is only winning this dance contest because of her mother's popularity and not because Bristol is a good dancer. 

It makes me laugh that a dance contest with a young woman is rattling the cages of the Liberals. One liberal commentator stated that Bristol is the worse dancer he has ever seen. I have been watching Dancing with the Star when it first aired and she is not the worse dancer on the show. The judges have said that she has never missed a step; she lacks the emotional commitment to the dance because she is not a 'performer' or actress; like some of the other dancers who find it so easy to show emotions; although, Bristol is learning very fast.
One of the professional dancers, Maks, was laughing, too; even as, he and his partner, Brandy, were being voted off the show last night. Maybe, he was laughing because he felt justified when the viewers overrode the judges's choice. Maks had previously disagreed with one of the judge's ruling going against Brandy on one dance; and, he was angry enough to argue with the judge openly which was unusual considering the judges favored Brandy above Bristol.  His anger carried over into the next show.

The voting fans are half the votes needed to win. That's part of the game. Although, Maks and Brandy looked professional and showed more emotion during their dances than Bristol and her partner; Brandy did not have the viewers votes to win and I don't think Brandy "got it" because she did not rally her fan base to vote for her.

When asked about losing to Bristol and her partner, Maks stated that his family left Russia to come to America because of the right to vote and he thinks it's a great thing to be able to vote for the person you want. He did not seem angry about losing to Bristol and Mark.

There have been plenty of excellent dancers in the past who were voted off prematurely and I never once heard the Liberals screaming out against the others who won.
If the Liberals want their dancer to win; then they should get off their butt and vote; instead of writing bias statements against an innocent dancer caught in the cross fire. Their bias comments only fuel the fire; activating the opposition to vote. 

The Liberals had their chance in 2008, when they elected Obama as their dance partner. So why are they so afraid of this happy, dancing mini Sarah Palin? Is it because their chosen one: the Second Coming has come and gone for them.



Observations
The rules of the show are based on the combination of popularity votes from the viewers and the professional votes from the 3 judges;  who also, have been just as bias for their favorite dancer.
Case in Point:  a judge told Brandy that he noticed there was a dance step fumble in her execution; but since the overall dance was so good he felt he would give her a higher score anyway.
On the same program, that same judge told Bristol that he would knock off a full point because; although, he felt her dance was executed perfectly, he did not like her facial expression; the expression, he knew was professionally choreographed into her dance.  Go figure!
