McCain lost because the economy crashed. Palin was able to get him votes. She in no way hurt his candidacy.


P.S. Improper use of the word 'too'. Maybe you should learn proper grammar before calling other "dense". Just sayin'
Please explain yourself. How is that improper use of the word "too", as in "as well"? I don't think "to" or "two" fit there, genius. I think you're the dense one!

Skip it. Such pedantic drudgery isn't worthy of a response. I know of several people who are true geniuses and more aware of things than their fellow men, but who can't write or spell worth a damn.

Don't let him put you on the defensive over nothing but his own obsessive nit-picking.

I think you should give mommy and daddy back the money they paid for your so-called education.

Foe someone who claims to be so educated you have shown a true lack of knowledge.

You chastise her for attending 4 colleges. Do you know why she attended 4 colleges? Hint, her mother and father did not pay her way through college. Who paid you way? She WORKED her way through college. She attended when she saved up enough money to pay for her courses.

You portray the typical elitist disdain for someone whom you think is beneath you. You think because you made it through college in 4 years anyone who didn't do as you is inferior.

I's no wonder you and your ilk will be shown the door this Tuesday.

The American people respect people who have a work ethic, not some academia elitist.

Work ethic? Palin? You're forgetful. She quit her last real job halfway through her four-year contract.

Now Sarah is seen as smart. She's become a powerful tea party leader who only has to say that she endorses tea party candidates, and they win elections. As hard of a pill this is for liberals and Democrats to swallow, I think Sarah will probably enter the presidential race and win the 2016 Presidential election.

I am just amazed at how fast people forget.
The only people that see Palins as smart are the people that are less intelligent than she is. There are also many that revel in her stupidity as that can relate to her ignorance and limited intellect. If it were not for the Neocon puppet masters and some really stupid and dumbed dwon Americans, Palin would be a nobody from Wasilly.

She's still an idiot; there are just a lot of dumb rednecks in the country who support her.

Who sees her as 'smart?' People attracted to the Tea Party? Think about it this way: there are a lot of people who wouldn't mind seeing her name as a candidate for the Presidency...mainly because it would virtually guarantee the election for the other candidate!

As to people forgetting--that's life in these United States, as Reader's Digest says.

No...

Just two years ago, the media took random sound bites, blasted and replayed awkward moments, and did everything they could to make her look like an idiot. Is she an idiot? We'll never know. Because we never got a clear idea of what she was about and how much she really knows. Agenda made sure to muddy the waters. Agenda, drama, and stereotyping.

You were manipulated and the media and the parties still count on your short attention span and gullibility to fall for whatever malarkey they're selling now.

Just how important is intelligence to the office of President?
I think history has shown us you don't exactly have to be a genius to run the country well and that some geniuses have run the country poorly.

What matters is the platform and the candidates ability to pull off the better parts of their ideas. Connections, savvy, game-playing, strategy...that's all politics is really about.
