Palin's lack of "experience' does not bother me as much I think she is just plain naive and stupid.

[blueinindiana]

I know that sounds harsh but she just does not have the mental capacity.

Bush while not the sharpest tool in the shed by any means looks intelligent compared to her.

Yes she can put on an act of intelligence now and then, under the right conditions but over all she is just plain stupid.



She always seems to be in beauty pageant / cheer leader mode

1. I agree, but I'd also add mean, vindictive, and against everything I'm for and vice-versa. n/t

[tblue]

2. For me: her extreme views, her secrecy and vindictiveness, and her lack of intellectual curiosity

Other than that, she's perfect!

3. Blue, you don't think this Alaska Bulldog/Hockey Mom can...

hold her own against the likes of KGB-trained Putin, etc.? Actually I don't blame her. There are (lesser) jobs where she could do quite well, I think. Most of all I blame the morons who selected her for this position and placed her--and the nation's/world's security--in this situation in the first place.

4. With her, you get two for the price of one.

5. She is Bush on steroids.

They obviously have the same lack of curiosity about the world. The same ungodly arrogance. The die-hard right wing beliefs and the desire to force them on everyone. The abuses of power and vendettas. But if Bush is like having the volume at 1, Sarah Palin "goes to 11." I wouldn't have thought it possible to have a worse president than Bush, but if a freak like this gets into office, the best comparison to another head of state I could come up with would be something from the decline of the Roman Empire. There's no president in our history that's even remotely as bad.

Back during the Bush v. Gore debacle of 2000, we decided we would move to Canada by 2010, and we're on track to do that. But if these lunatics end up in office, we're going in 2009. It'll be inconvenient as all hell to move before we planned to do it, but no fucking way am I staying here and being a part of this shit.

6. Her radical theology is the most bothersome/frightening aspect of this woman.

[Raschel]

7. I think she would have been great on the Seinfeld show.

She talks and leaves the room and then Jerry, Elaine, Kramer and George debate about what she meant.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

8. I only watched Seinfeld a

couple of times (what was it about anyway?) but I see what you mean.
