    Yes, really. As for the Republicans, I couldn't care less about the state of a party to which I do not belong.

    That's sad, I'm a Republican and I care very much about the lack of quality candidates for both major parties. I believe the better the candidates will foster better ideas and greater discussion and debate between all Americans.

    So, you're a Republican and you wouldn't vote for Palin over Obama?

    I'm interested to read your reasoning.

    I linked the proof.

    I'll link it again since you're handicapped:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin#Job_approval_ratings.2C_with_comparisons

    You're the one with the odor of poo on your breath.

    And maybe my standards are higher than yours, but Palin's a sad mutt in my eyes.

    I suspect you are playing dumb out of your irrational hatred for Obama.

    Most of the world KNOWS she's stupid. Even most conservatives have distanced themselves from her.

    She would be impeached within months if she somehow stumbled into the Presidency.

    Ideology shouldn't the only qualification for president. I'd much rather have Mitt Romney or Tim Pawlenty as president than Al Sharpton.

    Now, Sharpton vs. Palin? That's a draw, I think. Although the debates would be hilarious.

    You do realize that Tina Fey said that on an SNL skit, right? Palin never said it; it was a so-called comedian that said it as a fictitious verson of Palin.

    Now who is the bumbling idiot? :)

    Palin in an interview claimed she has an insight into Russian politics because you can see Russia from Alaska. Thus the joke.

    The issue was not the back porch, it was the stupidity that seeing the land gives one insight into it's politics.

    I thought it was pretty clear who the bumbling idiot is. Fey did not come with this gem by herself. She just took it to the next level based on the great raw material. That's what comedians do.

    "The Alaska-Russia controversy erupted in 2008 when ABC's Charlie Gibson asked Palin, "What insight into Russian actions particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of this state give you?"
    Palin said: "They're our next-door neighbors. And you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska."
    The debate continues on the Web: several sources say Russia can be seen from a small Alaskan island, but others argue it's impossible to see Russia from the Alaskan mainland, as they say Palin has implied.
    Comedian Tina Fey, playing Sarah Palin during a skit, joked that she could see Russia from her house."

    http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/11/01/sarah-palin-you-really-can-see-russia-from-alaska/

    I thought people on this forum were able to make the mental jump of two steps at a time. It seems like I was mistaken and from now on will go to the trouble of identifying every little step from one point to the other. My bad.

    And you still miss the point. Her point was that the Alaska National Guard (which she oversaw) has duties different than most NGs due to their geography. Admittedly, it's weak sauce, but she was asked a question about foreign affairs, which a governor is always going to be weak on. She stretched it a bit, but it wasn't outlandish.

    I'm trying to recall the myriad of questions then-Sen. Obama received about his executive experience prior to running for the Presidency... Oh, well. Lesson learned.

    Nothing quite like tautological reasoning.

    It's amazing when you ask a simple question and deflection seems to be the only answer.

    You know I was looking for dirt, and I came across this:

    [video=youtube;JDrhVR8d2Gk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDrhVR8d2Gk&feature=related[/video]

    I was pleasantly surprised to hear some hype is wrong.

    :lol:

    she is clearly not good at making people think she is smart. news flash! im not the only one she has failed to impress.

    and here you go so you can stop with all the "im waiting for your response" garbage, i mean really? i really dont have the time to appease your insatiable appetite for my opinion every day.

    imo

    1. she has no global swag
    2. very little experience with immigration/finance/healthcare/anything....she seems stuck on "abortion is bad! wave the flag! thump your bible!" the gop is getting away from that, and trying to appear more relevant to actual issues that smart people care about.
    3. she has a questionable ethics record.
    4. she just doesnt seem like a very dynamic speaker! i cant be the only one who thinks this lol. not that it matters too much, but she will need to talk people into going her way with things
    5. she doesnt seem to have much vision. seems more of a reactionary, which is ironic because of the whole "going rogue" idiot trap

    and she sells herself like a goddamn whore, she used to be against big oil

    plus shes stupid :biglaugh:

    Palin never said she could see Russia from her backyard. Foolish leftists confuse FeyPalin with the real Palin.

    You do realize this, right? I find the irony of "smart" liberals mocking Palin because of something that Tina Fey made up to be quite fascinating.

    You forgot about it because it didn't happen as you leftists thought it did, and she didn't "abuse her power".

    http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2008/11/palin_cleared_i.html

    She was cleared by the actual bi-partisan ethics board, yet the idiots on the left took the "findings" of a democratic hack as truth.

    So ... 0-2 in this thread on Palin. Are you starting to feel at all stupid?
