is/was your mom smarter than Palin?

[SnakeBoy]

Seriously...you guys are out contrarying yourselves. You don't realize it but ya'll are directly opposed to everything ya'll stand for.

They don't care. They just like their idea of who Obama is.

OBAMA: Well, I think there are a whole host of areas where Republicans in some cases may have a better idea.

WALLACE: Such as?

OBAMA: Well, on issues of regulation. I think that back in the ’60s and ’70s a lot of the way we regulated industry was top-down command and control, we’re going to tell businesses exactly how to do things.

And you know, I think that the Republican Party and people who thought about the markets came up with the notion that, “You know what? If you simply set some guidelines, some rules and incentives, for businesses — let them figure out how they’re going to, for example, reduce pollution,” and a cap and trade system, for example is a smarter way of doing it, controlling pollution, than dictating every single rule that a company has to abide by, which creates a lot of bureaucracy and red tape and oftentimes is less efficient.

Palin is not an idiot. Yeah she's not an expert on every single problem in America.....and I don't know why anyone is expecting her to be one. It's an unrealistic expectation...she is not the one trying to present herself as one.

Complete bull . Her interview answers prove you utterly wrong. I understand that you haven't brought yourself to actually watching them with anything approaching a critical mindset, but the sheer volume of bull that flowed out of her mouth to try to make herself look like she understood foreign relations or the bailout was just comical.

You will never get it or admit to it because you are too much in love. I understand this kind of thing happens and i feel for you, but she's never going to love you back so you might as well try to salvage your internets rep while you can.

Yeah well I'm sorry but you're wrong. She's not as stupid think and if she were left to her own devices she'd just give honest answers about what she does and does not know. If it makes you feel better to tell yourself she's stupid..then go ahead, but she isn't. You're wrong about that.


What you're really angry about and but don't realize it is that she's not a great bull ter. It's not an instinctive skill to her. What you're upset about is that she's a not a convincing liar. What you really want is someone that can and will lie to you convincingly...

Nice of you to try to change the subject again for the object of your unrequited love, but she tried to pretend she knew more than she did. Period. You can't cover for her and she still doesn't love you.

You want her to not have tried to bull and lie in the first place.

She did and she failed horribly. Now you're angry about that.

And she's just not into you. Get over it.

[whottt]

Yeah and I know exactly why she's doing it. But she did admit she didn't know eventually...that tells you what her character is. You don't like tht and would prefer an unconcionable liar...what you want is the same politicians we always have.

You want her to not have tried to bull and lie in the first place.

Yeap...I'd have preferred she didn't but I understand exactly why she did. For the same reason all the other guys do it....differnce is she doesn't like doing it.

She did and she failed horribly.

You are such a bitter hater sometime Chump...you should get over that, it's what leads you to supporting chokers...time and time again.

And she's just not into you. Get over it.

Ok well...I am crushed. I had high hopes defending her on a message board would pay off. You're a cold man Chump, for shattering me this way.


Guess I'll just have to learn to cope.

Guess what? She's still the best candidate in this election and the best candidate since Clinton.

[ChumpDumper]

She didn't admit to anything. She just talked herself deeper into a hole.

Yeap...I'd have preferred she didn't but I understand exactly why she did. For the same reason all the other guys do it....differnce is she doesn't like doing it.

You are so understanding. She doesn't deserve a guy like you.

You are such a bitter hater sometime Chump...you should get over that, it's what leads you to supporting chokers...time and time again.

I believe in love as much as anyone, but it just isn't going to happen between you two, whottt. I'm trying to help.

Except she isn't.

The people who aren't in love with her can see that.

Love is blind and makes fools of us all. You just happened to fall in love and be a fool on the internets for all of us to see.

[whottt]

She didn't admit to anything. She just talked herself deeper into a hole.

False.

You are so understanding. She doesn't deserve a guy like you.

True...but then who does?

I believe in love as much as anyone, but it just isn't going to happen between you two, whottt. I'm trying to help.

Ok well thank you. I got over it...she's still the best candidate.

Except she isn't.

The people who aren't in love with her can see that.

No...the people who don't like her are in love with Obama. Worship. Totally illogical worship.

Ya ya ya...I've already took my stab at the American Dream my friend, never ever again. That was when most of my relatives died(and hers). Been there done that...house land apple pie etc. I'm not the one buying into illusions. I'm not the one with seizable assets. That's why I'm not the one worried about the market collapsing. I'm looking forward to the cheap gas and hopefully the interest knocked off my moderate debt....and if that interest doesn't come off when things go down, well let's just say no one is going to be suing me to recover it. I'll just kind of slip it into the cracks.

[MannyIsGod]

@ the poll score right now.

[J.T.]

Well with the reasoning being Sarah Palin has done a lot more birthgiving than my mother, and if having one kid turned my mom into a knowitall with a bad at ude then I can only image how much worse Palin's Dumb Syndrome is. And this is not based on any politics related reasoning, I actually have only seen Palin speak once and that was when I was minus 700mL of blood after a plasma donation gone wrong so I really didn't even pay attention. This is just based on pure post-birth psychology.

[ChumpDumper]

False.



True...but then who does?





Ok well thank you. I got over it...she's still the best candidate.



No...the people who don't like her are in love with Obama. Worship. Totally illogical worship.

Well there's not much else to say except I genuinely feel sorry for you.

[whottt]

Well there's not much else to say except I genuinely feel sorry for you.

Thanks for the sympathy but I'm not looking for that, save it for someone who needs it. I'm quite happy with about 90% of my life and I'm working on the other 10% now.. I'm just explaining to you why you're on the wrong path in this argument with me. Bottom line is that Palin is a Great VP Pick and not stupid...and it's unfortunate that so many people are operating under that misguided notion.

Do you think someone who can't name a single Supreme Court case other than Roe V. Wade is a smart person? Because she couldn't.

No Plessy V. Ferguson
No Brown V. Board of Education
No Bush V. Gore!!!!

to name a few

"Trust me, I know"(tm)

[whottt]

Whottt's hi-lahryous is that the Palin apologists won't vote in the poll at all....


except for Anti.Hero. and I've already PMed your mom (ga a)

Was a lame question on the part of mookie...no one is going to say their mother is dumb.

[whottt]

palin's more ignorant than stupid

She just didn't give a what was going on in the states, nor was she expecting to be named VP. IF she wasn't have to play the political game she'd probably just come out and admit it. Instead she's being a team player for the McCain Camp.

[whottt]

Obama and McCain are much, much, much more similar to one another (policywise) and the other candidates than any of them are to ron paul.

Selling McCain short.

[whottt]

Proof Sarah Palin is an idiot, watch the end:







You can see she has absolutely no idea what she's talking about there

[whottt]

So you're saying that anyone who Palin is smarter than, is dumb?

But I thought you said Palin was smart? There's no shame in being not-as-smart as someone who is smart. I'm not as smart as Stephen Hawking. I guess that makes me dumb.

You know what I mean...

[whottt]

IT's like this...she didn't give two s about what was going on in the United States or being the Vice President when she was the Govenor of Alaska. She did not give two ing s about it..,and she admitted it.

Now she does...cuz it's her job too.


Meanwhile...Joe Biden is an asshat, quite possibely the biggest asshat to ever serve in the US Govt.


Obama is stupider just from the proximity of having him on the ticket. The fact he chose Biden proves he's not that smart.


On top of that...intelligence backed by nothing else isn't an asset. I'd rather have a dumbass with some sort of bearing then a smart guy with none, hence my vote in 04.

[whottt]

Paul is smart on economics and domestic issues but his foreign policy is not as good as his domestic...McCain is smarter on foreign policy than Paul is.

And no I don't meaan going and invading every country...if you look at McCain's record you know that's not his creed. Wildly throwing that neo-con label around is lame, and attempting to gloss Palin as any kind of a neo-con is complete asshatery. She doesn't even know what a ing neo-con is. Nor does she give a .


Bottom line...for a dumbass, she's gotten more people to listen to her in the last 3 weeks than have listened to Paul in his entire career.

That is a talent...that is a form of intelligence, and she's got it. She's got it in spades.


Paul is in a position to have tremendous influence with this Administration...more than he ever has had in his career...and he could help America...but if you ask me he's acting a lot like Bush and adopting a my way or the highway type tude.

Paul could infuence McCain on domestic policy....does he want to help America or does he want to grand stand and do nothing?

Without a doubt McCain wants to help America.

1987:

Ron Paul is the most honest man in congress

[Shastafarian]

Proof Sarah Palin is an idiot, watch the end:

God watching her speak without prompting or a written speech is like watching some dumb sorority girl talk.

You can see she has absolutely no idea what she's talking about there

Well considering she said this in this interview:

Alaska currently produces about 20% of the U.S. domestic supply of Energy

and Alaska does not produce nearly 20% of the domestic energy (14%) or oil (3.5%), I'd have to agree with you. She has absolutely no idea what she's talking about.

[whottt]

She didn't give a about what happens in the continental U.S. That's fine, as governor of Alaska. But that's an automatic DQ for someone who is elected by the entire nation to represent the entire nation

Fixed. She's a good girl...her Daddy raised her right.

[Findog]

Bruce Bowen IS a . I'd take him on my team, but he IS a .

[fyatuk]

That depends on how you mean it.

Academically, I know Palin is smarter than my mom was. Mom could barely do simple math, struggled in history and sciences, but had a firm grip on English (she was an English major her only semester at SAC).

My mom was much wiser than Palin seems to be, though. She had an understanding of how people work and what people want and need that was amazing. She could manipulate just about anyone.
