Truth is stranger than fiction - The Sarah Palin Chronicles

[VictorCharlie]

I've never understood the out and out hatred for this woman. I find it odd when "open minded" individuals demonize and insult people b/c they disagree with their politics. I share some common beliefs with Gov. Palin but not all and doubt I would vote for her. That being said she strikes me as a very hard working, family centric woman and all around decent person.

I can't speak for others, but I don't hate her, nor are her politics the biggest problem. IMO you have to take someone seriously in order to hate them. I don't think she's a bad person either, and I could care less about her family values. I just think she's stupid to the point of being amusing, and no-where near capable of leading a nation.

not to rehash the campaign but I don't see how one can say that the current president is or was capable of leading a nation.

He's Obama, how dare you even think to question him!!!!

But while we're at it, I just want to know how this....

is "Progressive"

I hate her. I hope she falls off a horse or something.

Why?

I was just feeling a bit trite. I revised my opinion to hoping that she mutates into a horse instead.

I just hate stupid people in positions of power and influence. It makes a mockery of the political process. Now, Obama is an intelligent and articulate figure who carries his position quite well. It would be laughable to see Palin run for President. Not that I am that enraptured with Obama, but he has been the best of a bad bunch in a desert of US political figures.

Obama is an improvement on the Bush years. But I agree that he isn't quite the saviour some have built him up as. Early days yet though, time will tell.

So says you, but I doubt the Americans will be so elated when they have sky high energy prices (yes even for the very poor whom Obama had promised to help) and there is talk of a Value Added Tax, so I guess that "Tax cuts for 95% of citizens" was said just because it sounded cool...sounds like a fun 4 years huh? And the guy JUST took office. At this rate, I'd rather have Sarkozy be our President than anyone else.

If anyone forgot why they were labeled "Tax and Spend Democrats" or the "Spendacrats" Obama is here to remind them....not that Bush was a great fiscal conservative either, but Obama is making him look like one now

I would hate her if I didn't love her so much. She's the symbol of the absolute self-destruction of the Republican party which I really enjoy, like every day. Good job John!

Palin, Jindal, Haley Barbour, LOLOLOL. Can we just skip the 2012 election and move on?

so she is stupid because she doesnt share your political views?

[OumaFan]

there are plenty of smart Republicans, Palin doesn't come across as the brightest bulb. Understatement.

[El Kabong]

...let someone call a Democrat stupid and see how well that goes over

Amazing people can call Palin stupid yet they voted for Joe Biden

you should live in the uk, energy prices have gone up 40%.
average petrol price per litre is £103.8
That works out about 64cents a litre.

U.S. Retail Gasoline Prices

$2.60 just for something to work on.
1 US gallon = 3.785L
1 UK gallon = 4.545 litres

Is anyones head hurting yet?

[El Kabong]

Missy, that's all well and good that you want to compare and contrast energy prices in England and America BUT you guys voted for that, you guys have year after year gone on and on about Man Made Global Warming (which is total crap by the way) and you guys have voted for higher taxes and higher prices on yourselves....Americans in general don't like taxes and they don't like not getting their money's worth on simple stuff like electricity and gasoline....Wars have been fought over such things.

No matter who is in office, no matter what party runs the country, the United States is a Center Right country, we love our LIBERTY and our Freedom, and we don't like taxes

not to rehash the campaign but I don't see how one can say that the current president is or was capable of leading a nation.

Whatever, I wan't intending to debate about Obama, or left vs right, my observations were just about one moron, but if you want to compare her favorably to Obama, I'm sure you'll find Lyle will agree with you.

[El Kabong]

She was running for VICE President not President...and I find it very hypocritical that the very same people who support Obama (and therefore support the likes of Joe Biden) call out Palin as an idiot.

Lyle's agreement is important why? The left likes to paint this woman as stupid. You seem to agree. Why do you think she is stupid is all I am asking? She is often described as not having the experience required to be a viable presidential candidate. I just don't see the difference between a one term senator and one term governor other than one of them actually has at least some executive experience.

I was talking about what she might be intending to do, not what she did do, but ok I'll bite. I'd say that someone who runs for vice president should have some ability to lead the country, wouldn't you?

And your remarks about hypocrisy aren't worth much. Anyone who calls Palin an idiot but supports Obama is a hypocrite? By your logic, I'm sure I can create an argument that says we're all hypocrites.

Guess what, I never said all dems were above reproach, but i knew damn well that as soon as I dared criticize brainiac Palin, you'd turn it into left vs. right. Guess what, I'd be just as horrified if she ended up running for president as a democrat, although I'm sure you'd be quite pleased. Get my drift?
