Try this on for size: Palinism. What is it? It is an updated version of McCarthyism, which takes its name from the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy, the Wisconsin liar, demagogue and drunk, and means, according to Wikipedia, "reckless, unsubstantiated accusations, as well as demagogic attacks on the character or patriotism of political adversaries." As far as we know, Sarah Palin is not a drunk.

Only thing I can think of is if she ever got her act together she would clean their clocks. She has lots to say and charisma. She is not the prototype looking or sounding politician.

Plus she's capable of riling them rednecks up.... Some of the footage of some of the rallies would make the KKK proud. At least John McCain tried to silence those who called Barack a terrorist. She, instead, played along. Not too damn cool at all.

Shame really. I could have liked her if she didn't portray herself the way she did. But then again, you become a politician, you sign your life away to the status quo..... You'll act how we want you to act. You'll say what we want you to say. She was no different in the long run.

Until We change that, things will remain the same. We demand and GET real change? In the eyes of our sold-out government those are potential terrorist words. Don't ya love vote fraud? It equates to no accountability from our politicians ever again. Let's all choke on those "sour grapes' the media screamed about.


pppfffffttttt

And you honestly believe that, don't you?

She's an idiot, I am thoroughly convinced she had to blow her professors just to get through community college...

But that's just me :D

Nah it's more than that. Her enemies pulled an entry out of Myspace - or Twitter or some such mindless thing - for chrissakes, not her friends. She scares you for some reason and I just don't see it. She should be a non-entity.


BTW they're not my idiots. My idiots know better than to shit in the kitchen. They just can't get in the house to prove it. Can't say that for your idiots in there now.

Got ahead and say she is an idiot if that makes you feel better. She made mistakes alright but she is no idiot.

Nice to know sexism is alive and thriving in the la la land of liberalism.

But that is just me :D

I feel a bit sorry for her.... I think people will always view her as McCain's pretty but ineffectual sidekick, when in fact she probably has a lot more to give.

She's an idiot. For many conservatives however, she is the second coming of Jesus. She sounds like a total hick when speaking, I feel like an idiot just listening to her.

Saying that she is an idiot and completely unfit for public office is not at all sexist. Which is kind of ironic, because Palin embodies just about every political position that women are against.

She's a pro-life, anti gun-control, social conservative hillbilly. When she was mayor of Wasilla she made rape victims pay for their own rape-kits.

Oh yeah. She's also got an extremely good foreign policy portfolio, because she can see Russia from her backyard.

And by that, I mean Russia can only been seen from this one island in Alaska that's she never visited before.

You are a liberal so you are gonna despise every conservative and think they are idiots.

You want an idiot think the poster child is Nancy Pelosi

I don't despise conservatives, just the stupid ones.

Many intelligent conservatives are very critical of her too.

The fact is, someone with her level of intelligence and knowledge of the political system shouldn't have gotten so far in the first place.

I just found it hilarious that McCain picked her as his running mate after the Republicans had been so critical of Obama for his lack of experience. I also believe McCain picked her to get the women voters who wanted Clinton, a move which back fired as the women understood when they were being patronised.

:clap

I don't despise her for the way she talks or that she is a woman. I despise her for her arrogance and stance on policies when she doesn't have an intellectual leg to stand on. I am a very good judge of intelligence and wisdom, and I have listened to her while scratching my head wondering how she every got picked to be VP. Her lack of knowledge and intelligence scares the hell out of me since the American people are stupid enough to put a person in office like this because she's "folksy" and she talks about guns and American values. I'm tired of idiots getting into office because they memorized the talking points that work so well on the idiot republicans.

She doesn't scare me, the American people do.

Same here

Look at who ended up as the Speaker of the House :eek

Did you choke on the hypocrisy when you typed that. Are you seriously going to say that only the republicans memorize talking points. Give me a break. I don't give a damn which party it is they use talking points.
