So it was acceptable to use that mantra as a reason for voting for Obama but it's not an acceptable reason to vote for anyone but Obama?
How do you know she's "not intellectually curious"? Who IS intellectually curious? And if you can come up with a legit name, "how do you know"? When has it ever been required a president be intellectually curious?
I would vote for the CEO of Intel, after I read the reasons hes building that new plant in oregon, for once a corporation seems, almost patriotic. He has my vote
In my opinion she was charismatic photogenic and uninformed about basic things most thinking people would have known. She appeared stupid at times. Is she dumb... probably not. But how the heck could she have been so ignorant of basic things any politician or curious person would know. But, I like many of her Ronald Reagan like stances on issues. We want small central govt. I am sure many conservatives hope she has spent the last few years educating herself. I hope - by the time of the debates... she erases any concern she is dumb.
The problem is that those Regan like stances seem to be manufactured when it comes to her. I am a staunch conservative, but i can not support her, because she seems very much contrived, as she didnt really have opinions on things from the start. Had she came out strongly on alot of the issues from the get go i might be able to support her more, but it seemed she only really learned what her principles were shortly after Katie Couric made he look like a total fool. The fact that it took her almost becoming the VP for her to come out advocating all these positions, makes me also think she wasnt "Intellectually curious" before she got nominated. There are lots of politicians like her who live in smaller areas who only care about the things surrounding them, and lots of them are good fiscal conservatives, but you need more then that to be president, and you need to have positions you have thought about long before considering becoming president to make you a good leader. With that said i would still vote for a contrived conservative(Palin), over a devout marxist(Obama).
Wow...10 pages and so far the best negative thing with any substance that anyone has come up with, is from someone who is not a Palin hater, just a non-supporter, and its not even really that bad or different from any other republican politician. Anyway...even though I am a Palin supporter I will put my 2 cents in what I dont like about her. I dont like that she responds to everyones attacks. She likes to feed the trolls in my opinion.
I would put Obama in the same category. Everything he did for the last 2 years were initiatives from the Liberal congress. Obama had no principles coming into office about economics ,military or foreign policy. He ended up taking Bush's foreign policy and Pelousi's domestic program and the only success has been the Bush part. What Palin does better is get her message out and motivate the public. Obama talks and loses the public. Palin has learned a lot and uses advisers to develop her ideas. To me that is leadership.
Comparing Obama to Palin One person was a constitutional law professor, Columbia University educated, and educated in US Law from Harvard University Law School.The other bounced between 1 private college,2 community colleges and the University of Idaho twice before finally getting a degree in journalism .
He took from Republican domestic programs as well.He continued the Bush polices of bailouts, massive deficit spending,patriot act, homeland security,left Gitmo open, and he's about to continue the Bush Tax cuts.He took Republican Mitt Romney's health care plan.Obama's polices are more Bush and Romney then Nancy Pelousi. Obama's presidency is 80 % Bush and Romney policies yet republicans say he is a failure and a socialist while Bush was a 2 term Republican president and Romney came in second place for the 2008 GOP nomination and is the frontrunner for the 2012 GOP nomination
I don't hate her and I hope she runs just for the entertainment value and being a spoiler but to answer your question: I fear that Sarah as president: - she might choke to death on a pretzel - she would start illegal and/or unwinable wars - she could declare victory when the war isn't over - she might bailout the big corporations using taxpayer money - she could inappropriately touch another heads of states - she could generally be a puppet run by the VP - etc.etc. Not like these ever happened, but Sarah is stupid enough to do these things. Run Sarah, run.... P.S.: What is this shit Barbara Bush talking degradating about her??
