A woman? No problem. But this one?

America seems finally open to the idea of electing a woman to the presidency and the right woman could very well be the right person for the job. But this woman? Please, no!

James Howard Kunstler recently stated the case well: "I hope that Sarah Palin's competitors on the right will stand up to her American fascist themes and call her out for what she is: a half-educated TV performer unqualified for high political office. The true shame of this country is that we have to take a clown like Sarah Palin seriously."

It's like a movie, cool. 8-)0 -
Sadly, that's what people want.
Many americans know they're dumb. And they want someone just like them. They want to think they, without working hard, knowing much or studying anything, could also be president.0 -
Palin is dumb as a brick and Bachman is batshit crazy......
nice going Tea Party.....
seeing those two in a GOP debate would make for great comedy, but really it would only make me cry.Post edited by Smellyman on0 -
I don't think we're in any danger of having President Palin. Her actual popularity is skewed by the fact that the media loves her. Not just Fox News, everybody loves talking about her. The amount of media attention she gets is not proportionate to her actual popularity. Add to that the fact that most Republicans hate her as much as the Democrats do. If she were actually to run for President, and have to come out of her self-imposed, Fox News managed bubble that she enjoys, she will get torn to shreds, again. I seriously doubt she would get the Republican nomination, much less win a Presidential election. I could be wrong though. I know hardcore Republicans that vote the line who say they just simply won't vote if she is the Republican candidate, and others that say they would vote Democrat."See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"0

I think a lot of people just value things differently, in that they take what she "stands for" as a good reason for her to be president and mixed with the fact that they are too easily persuaded by nonsense follow her blindly.live pearl jam is best pearl jam0 -

See, I don't know if anyone knows what she "stands for."
She just uses a lot of words to say "I represent you under-educated lazy people who wish you were richer, smarter and more successful without having to like... Try and shit."
She rubs their heads with phrases like Joe Sixpack and "The Real America." She pumps them up by slagging off more-qualified people with phrases like "elites" and "the lame stream media."
She doesn't actually talk about what she stands for because she stands for wringing money out of her idiot fans.0 -

Exactly, Prince of Dorkness. Her “fans” often don’t really know what they stand for either. They’re against the government giving out money but then say “don’t touch my Medicare or my Social Security”. They say they’re against big government… except when they’re not. A rather confused lot I’d say.
I agree, she is unlikely to be elected president but what is just as unsettling is the sheer number of people fawning after her. Remarkably strange."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -
Can you imagine how angry hillary clinton would be if she became president?"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win ."

Anti-intellectualism lead Bush to be popular enough to win twice. And I have always thought of her as "Bush in a skirt." Dumb. Not too dumb. But most importantly, not too smart. Too smart is bad to many people.1995 Milwaukee 1998 Alpine, Alpine 2003 Albany, Boston, Boston, Boston 2004 Boston, Boston 2006 Hartford, St. Paul (Petty), St. Paul (Petty) 2011 Alpine, Alpine

For the safety and benefit of just about everyone, I suggest she does some extensive exhaust pipe research. She can begin with the effects of prolonged mouth to exhaust pipe contact.
