Thread: Palin & Her Supporters

This is just another prime example of the liberal left contorting, twisting, and confusing the real right wing americans. (sarcasm ends)

In all fairness the DEMS are just as dumb....but I really didn't the GOP followers were so stupid.

Legalize profiling???

Sarah had to deal with the Russians from across the street so that means she has boundary experiance.

Yes, folks ^ and ^^ and ^^^,

Many supporters of Obama, and any other candidates are just as ignorant.

Are these people in the video in this thread, dumb? Some are.

But I believe most, are just ignorant:

This is what America produces (as other countries do):

Watch TV, listen to political radio, read very little, and have a 12 grade high school education.

Palin does speak to, and for, a particular demographic.

This is why Palin will never transcend into the national political scene.

Here national political career is over, and she is ca$shing in now, while her name is still warm.

Notice how one guy said he gets all of his misinformation from FOX.

Howard Stern did this with the black people voting for Obama and the results were the same. There are idiots everywhere, although what these people believe is going to happen and what is currently happening shows how out of touch people truly are.

Poll: Iowa Republicans like Palin, but have doubts


(CNN) - Sarah Palin's book tour brings her to Iowa in two weeks. If the former Alaska governor and last year's GOP vice presidential nominee decides to return to Iowa down to road to explore a race for the White House, a new survey suggests that Republicans in the state like her - but have some doubts.
According to a Des Moines Register Iowa poll, 68 percent of Hawkeye Republicans view Palin favorably. That's a statistically insignificant 2 points behind those who have a positive view of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who won the 2008 Iowa caucuses, which traditionally kick off the presidential primary season.

there is one positive thing I can say about her, she has really capitalized on her downfall financially, she will make tens of millions with this book.

Sounds no worse than liberal hippies.
People come in all variates of stupid.

I can't blame her.

Resign from her AK governor, job. She was getting hammered by her opponents and getting financially hit by lawsuits.

And all that....for a governor job?

By resigning, she's now an "advocate" selling her book with an advance + royalties, and her speaking tour speaking fees.

She'll never have to work again after this.

And she can still write and speak, in the future to "spread her message."

More control over her message, and less bruises from the beatings politicians take.

That said, I loathe her views and policies, and her demographic targeting.

She was also hammered by her own people during the campaign.

She would hurt the GOP by taking away votes from someone else more deserving.

I don't blame her either, and I am glad she realized she was a shitty politician and resigned, now lets just hope she stays out of any future politics.

^ Good points, R.D.

I don't think she has a choice.

She alienated a lot of poeple in the campaign, and more importantly in the electorate.

The Independents do the electing.

IMO, Palin is done politically.

Again, narrow base. A National Pol needs many elements in the tent to get elected.

Her political career is far from over...I don't see her winning any elected position, but she call raise money for the party like no other

Yes, the McCain staffer really didn't like her, and came out swinging right after the election was finished.

Choosing her was a big mistake by McCain. He catered to the Xtian right in picking her as VP, and it didn't pay off. I do agree, it hurt.

I agree, Invanry. Good point.

She'll be able to raise for certain candidate that are a part of her base.

I think she has 15 minutes or more, and this 15 minutes will last a couple of years.

she's your typical new age republican, reads off a conservative checklist, but politically speaking, a 5th grader can school her in most debates. Thats one of the main problems with most main stream politicians today from both dems and republicans, everything they preach is rehearsed, nobody speaks from the heart anymore, there is no loyalty to true conservatism, or liberalism. If more of these politicians went back to their roots, and actually practiced what they preached we wouldnt be in this boat. It's a shame. When she ran next to McCain, it really crushed me. Yea she's a milf, but she doesnt have a clue.

Seriously,

I know 23 year-old American College graduates who are more knowledgable than Palin (last year, mind you. Now she's had tutors, and has been studying world maps).

Her ignorance is shocking.

The Hamas 2006 endorsement will go down in history...for me anyway.

How many Americans that watched and hear her endors Hamas even understood what she had done.

Palin resonates to some: the funtionally illiterate, the uneducated (like herself) and the poorly read.

Palin, honestly, is good ol' white trash. For someone to be a heart beat away from the Presidency, you have to have some knowledge of not only the world, but of the USA, itself.

She did not have knowledge of either.

Everyone of them is harping on less taxes and how the "government shouldn't be taking my hard earned money" yet they would go and spend their money on this useless, foolish political harlots book.... While they're at it they should go ahead and blow some dough on 50 Cent's new bible like guide to Success, 'The 50th LOL' I mean Law<<<<said with stern look...

People grossly underestimate her. Anyone counting her out of a future in politics is foolish.

I agree. America just might be stupid enough to consider her for President. At least the uneducated amongst us.

she resigned her position as governor because she could not handle the scrutiny, why would she put herself under that microscope again?

While I'm a super liberal and can't stand Palin, this video just demonstrates the ignorance of Americans, possibly humans, in general moreso than blind Palinism. You'll find just as much blind Obamisms, Christianity, etc etc etc.
