I assume you are speaking for yourself kemosabe. ;D Yes, me and you for sure! Neither Palin or I voted for Algoe or Obama, so we are a least smarter than you.  Who is "Algoe"? If you mean Al Gore, the ex Vice-President of the United States, yes I voted for him and not Dick Cheney's puppet. |

Palin is just talking to the one segment of America that is the easiest to market to. That would be rural (mostly) white America. You have to say that this segment of America is still somewhat homogeneous...which most of America is no longer. That's why she comes up with catch all phrases like "those grizzly moms"! Who gets that??...except for a small segment of America. She is a good marketer....and she knows she will never get elected to a higher office. She could have just coped to "Guns & Ammo", Field & Stream and People magazine for Couric...and let it go at that, but she was trying to be something she is not. You could be close to right. Now tell me, who do you think Obama is talking to with this recess appointment of a "Rationing Czar" and his protection of the voter intimidation by the New Black Panthers. |

>>>Bush is a large vessel that he choose not to fill to the top, Palin has a leak and so she stopped pouring water into it.<<< Bush and Palin are history. Now we have a fool with a leak... and doesn't have a clue what to do. He's got Bush's Admiral in charge of that, and he just fired his very own choice in Afghanistan and replaced him with Bush's lying sack of mierda (according to the Demagogue Party) General. Obama: high perceived intellect so long as his handlers keep the teleprompter working properly.... The ongoing wars strike me the same as one the country was in 30 some years ago - we got in, we're to a point where we can't get out, no one is willing to take the blame and just pull out so we're stuck chasing some outcome and some boogey man that likely we can't win and isn't going to topple the world anyways. I was disappointed in the man and knew that my assumption that it was going to be business as usual in washington was correct, when he just didn't get the F out of that sinkhole. But for people that think that it has to be prosecuted, how can you be angry at him for following the same script that the other guy left him? American deaths go massively down in Iraq and massively up in Afghanastan - we're stuck in a wack-a-mole game. |

Actually I've been thinking about it and palin is neither intelligent NOR smart. No smart person knows as little as she does, and no smart person says the kinds of thing she does, whether in monosyllabic or polysyllabic words (and we know what kind she uses). What she is is a bit SAVVY and very OPPORTUNISTIC. I feel sorry for the alumni of whatever ten colleges she attended. Their degrees are worth less now than they were before the world heard of this woman. Why do you care? She's yesterday's news. Today's news is the sock-puppet in the White House. |

I have kind of joined in in letting things morph a bit, but how is this for dumb?
Just when you think they can't get any dumber...
In a bid to stem taxpayer losses for bad loans guaranteed by federal housing agencies Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac, Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn) proposed that borrowers be required to make a 5% down payment in order to qualify.
His proposal was rejected 57-42 on a party-line vote because, as Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn) explained, "passage of such a requirement would restrict home ownership to only those who can afford it."

McTeer began his Forbes.com post by writing, “Some quotes are too good to ignore …” After we informed McTeer about the source of the quote, he sent us this response: “I notified Forbes.com, which is where you apparently saw it, and they are going to acknowledge the error on their site.” The blog now carries an editor’s note that says: “A quote in this post purportedly from Sen.

Of course not, but a modicum of sense might be requisite. You blast Obama, rightly so, for his sparse background - is Palin's more regal? She was a mayor and then a governor for a couple of years until she saw the money elsewhere. She bounced around getting a bachelors, feels that asking her what periodicals she reads is an ambush. She is not a 'thinker' And the point I originally made is this is what the GOP power brokers think of women and what they could sell: a hotty - I never said that was my opinion as I've met and worked with/for hotties and dogs and both sides had their brilliant ones and their dunces --- Palin is an uninformed, uneducated dolt - she is not cultured, she is not classically educated oh yea, and she's a quitter. Just what do you base that on? She was a Mayor and a Governor. Would you care to compare qualifications with her? She may not fall in line with your political beliefs but she is hardly dumb. Line her quals up against most of us and we come up short. Oh my gawd... You undersell us all. She was mayor of a small town (population 5000) and governor of a state that has less than 20% of the population of SD County. And as she demonstrated repeatedly, she has no knowledge of foreign policy at all. I have no idea how intelligent she is. She didn't come across to me as particularly intelligent but her lack of experience on such a big stage could have undercut her some and she might be more intelligent than she appeared. If there is one question that I could ask John McCain, it is this: Why her? He could have crucified Obama on his lack of experience and instead of doing so, he managed to pick the one politician in America with less experience than the President. And his age made that selection and her experience and qualifications all the more important. Supposedly, it was to energize the right but in energizing the right he totally lost the middle. And a conservative (or a liberal) cannot win in this country without the middle. Yoda out... |

"the reports were that she had to basically be given politics and current events 101." Your source? John McCain's campaign manager. Yoda out... |

And a conservative (or a liberal) cannot win in this country without the middle. Yoda out... I must say that coming out and saying you don't know is just what I say. I can only go by what she has accomplished. I also give you credit for not comparing your intelligence or accomplishments directly, but used the oblique term "undersell us all". I don't undersell anyone, just state the obvious. Now your idea about not being able to carry an election without the middle is true. You can see that running a Rhino in McCain and having an inexperienced Conservative Women was a bad move by the Republicans. I personally admire both McCain and Palin for different reasons. With McCain it is not his politics and with Palin it is her politics. You can see by the way polls indicate that Independents are shifting toward the Conservative positions in huge numbers. Maybe it was good for the Republicans to be handed that humbling defeat. It gave the country a reminder of just how inept liberals are and made it pretty easy for the Republicans to regain control of Congress and a chance at the Senate. |
