I don't agree with her policies, but I don't think she's stupid. That's just political propaganda by some to make her look dumb. It's also motivated by some elements of bigotry as many people don't feel women are smart or belong in politics.

If you thought that whole spiel from her about Russia was bad, wait 'till you see this part of the interview.GabuEx

What the hell was that?

Did anyone talk to her before they picked her?

No, she does it on her own. she really does.

look at the videos. look at the statements. nobody is forcing her to give any of these stupid answers.

I've seen dumb clips of her. But then I've seen many politicians make flubs or say stupid things. Look at Bush. Pretty much everything he says sounds bad. Hillary's made plenty of ridiculous statements including her one about dodging "sniper fire" during her trip to Bosnia. Biden was a huge plagiarizer during the 80's - trying to take credit for speeches given by some of our past historical figures. Reagan mumbled about jelly beans and other such nonsense.

If you take many of these out of contexts, or present them in such a way, it's possible to make many people look stupid. Plus, not everyone is a gifted speaker. Being articulate doesn't mean you're smart, just good with words.

I think she's more of a passing fad. As they say, vice president candidates generally don't have a major impact in the presidential election.

That's true, everyone sounds stupid when you take statements out of context. But Palin sounds even dumber when you watch the entire interview. Also, the problem isn't her lack of speaking ability, if she mispronounced words it would be no big deal. But she demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of the questions she was asked. The way that she's managed to do this multiple times in the short span of her interviewing career definitely says something about her knowledge of politics.

No...she's just a disaster area. Joe Biden doesn't need to destroy her. 9th grade questions seem to be doing that job just fine.

Palin has revealed herself to be a complete joke. I was surprised when all the republicans rallied around such a nobody, but if the conservative base still likes her then there's no hope left for the party.

Is it just me, or does it seem like Palin thinks Russia are still communists and will invade the US at any given time?

I laugh when Obama supporters say Palin doesnt have enough experience for VP, but then you remind them that Obama has no experience and he's running for President, they deny it.kool-aids

Obama at least has a real opinion on foriegn policy.. No one is saying he is super experienced, no one really is when it comes to being the president. The point being is Obama is well spoken and at least knew things like what the Bush Doctrine was, and had a real opinion on foriegn policy on what he can do.

Oh I don't know about that. Turnout is always a concern. The GOP can't ignore the record turnouts for the Democratic primaries and mediocre turnout for their own primaries.

That's an EXTREMELY misleading video by the way. I only watched it part way because I was afraid I might catch stupid from it.

She's not a creationist and never said she was. The person who made that video deliberately edited the first part of the quote "that our leaders, our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God'. She started with the words "PRAY that", or in other words, she's communicating that she is doubtful and uncertain that what they are doing is God's plan, contrary to Bush's claims that it is.

Extremely misleading video.

Not really. He goes on to draw a direct comparison between Palin's speaking abilities and that of one of the most recent Miss America contestants and does a pretty good job at pointing out how terrible of a public speaker Palin is. It's not so much about her and creationism as it is a rant about her stupidity. Where is Ron Paul when everyone needs him??

It asserts in the very title and in the very beginning that she's a Creationist. That is false.

It DELIBERATELY parses and edits what she said to make it sound like she's saying she believes that Bush is on a task from God when it reality she was questioning it. This is a deliberate lie. He's editing the video to make you think she's saying something else entirely.

If that's not your definition of misleading, I wonder what falls under it.

I know what you're saying. But just because it attempts to make a point about her public speaking abilities does not mean it isn't misleading.

If I say, "Apples grow on the moon. Babies come from storks. Santa Claus breaks and enters your house at Christmas while the kiddies are asleep to steal your snack food and rifle through your undergarments. Oh, and Sarah Palin doesn't speak well in public," just because you agree with my last sentence doesn't mean my statement wasn't misleading and didn't contain falsehoods.

Why would you pick her as your vice president. If you vote for McCain, if anything happens to him, she will become the president of your country. Do you even want to risk that?

I seriously think he made a big mistake choosing her.

I love Sarah Palin apologists.

She's as clueless as clueless can get when it comes to foreign and domestic policy on the NATIONAL LEVEL, yet they'll defend her like she's great.

Defending the video? I know, from your previous post, that you do like the notion that people try to defend Palin, so I understand how it must irk you when they don't make your statement come true, but I respond merely to what Mr. Sour Grapes said. And really, he said very little. And what he did say was laughably biased.

I haven't listened to this guy since he started ranting about Hillary Clinton's lack of femininity in his eyes - truly the most important issue in this election!
