Quote:To the few people that are still trying to defend Palin, are you being serious, or are you just sticking to party lines?
I'm not sticking to party lines. In fact, when I originally registered to vote way back in 1993, I registered a democrat. It wasn't until I got older and lost some of my idealistic philosophy that I realized the world wasn't all happy and nice, and sometimes those philosophies won't work quite as planned. It was at that point when I registered as a Republican.
Quote:In the limited view that the public has had of her, she has proven herself to be clueless on national issues. If you disagree with this previous statement, please watch her most recent interview with Katie Couric.
Oddly, I'm listening to the FBHW bit regarding the Couric interview as we type - I don't exactly take KATIE COURIC to be the non-biased media source for all things political. Didn't CBS have some sort of scandal in '04 regarding their slant?
Quote:She is a former beauty queen, who it took 5 or 6 years to complete a traditionally 4 year bachelor's degree.... in Communitcations!
You spelled communications wrong, Professor. Ignoring that bit of Shakespearian irony, who cares?
Quote:Why is it that Republicans are continually trying to elect people that are not very smart? George Bush was a "C" student, McCain was 5th from the bottom of his class, Palin went to multiple colleges before finally getting a week Bachelor's. Hell, I bet even Zane has a Bachelor's in Communications!
Bush scored a 1206 on his SAT. John Kerry scored an 1160. Do you really want to bring up which party is smarter?
Quote:Barack graduated from Harvard Law School with Honors, Biden also graduated from law school near the top of his class.
If words like Harvard and Princeton impress you, then I'm sure that's pretty cool. (Oh, and in order to get into the Naval Academy, you need to be in the top 20% of your class. Just so you know.)
Quote:These are incredibly intelligent guys who will actually look at the information available to them before making a decision.
It isn't MY side that is fascinated by intelligence, and as such, I am not questioning it. Rather, I'm questioning their judgement and ability to produce the results they promise - and horrified that if they can somehow muster what it takes to DO those things, what it means for my family.
Quote:McCain and Palin are just two more intellectually average "shoot from the hip, think with your gut" Republicans. Do you really want more of that?! Eff no...
Again with the intelligence obsession. It's really quite comical. You brought it strong, though, I'll give you that. Unfortunately, the facts don't back up your own "think with your gut" attack.
