Well they certainly are not too intelligent if they watch Oprah's show.

The woman just baffles me. Last night I was flipping channels during commercial & came across her Alaska show. She & her little girl were at some dog-sled guy's house, & she was telling her kid to pick put a puppy so they could name the puppy after her,the poor kid looked both bored to death and embarrassed. Then Palin was rambling on some nonsense about what an honor it is for her daughter to have a dog named after her, how it will stay with her for years to come,etc. .... um, OK. Is this show supposed to be a comedy?

If it comes to picking her or Oblamah, I'll pick Palin in a heartbeat.

Miss Winfrey has never held public office, served in the military, been married or raised a child. Why does her opinion on anything matter?

I don't care what Palin does.
I care less what Oprah thinks.

Why are those things you listed requirements for having an opinion?

Are they listed in the Constitution as being requirements?

Listed by Republicans as requirements?

Oprah is an American citizen whether you like it or not.

She has EVERY right to have an opinion even if Republicans want to dictate who can have an opinion and who can't....




and , BELIEVE ME, you are not the only Republican who wants to squash opposing opinion.

Oprah is an attention starved ego maniac. Her base audience would more than likely be missing several IQ points to begin with and for her to insinuate her audience is smart enough to “not” vote for someone is a flat out insult to the very thing she claims her followers have. I’m sure her followers will have to read that again too.
I would never vote for Sarah P but it’s not because Oprah says I’m intelligent enough. There is not a lot of credit there anyway if you need to buy friends and give away gifts to strangers just to feel important.
(Oprah = fraud)

The OPs poll is a fail too, it parallels this statement;
"Heads I win and tails you lose"

She is giving people way to much Credit. Palin is not much worse than Bush and he got elected twice.....

Because she's an American just like everyone else. And if my opinion and your opinion matters, then HERS matters too.

That doesn't mean that you have to agree with her.
