There are many threads about Palin.

Her effect on the public just amazes me.

Ahh yes, she left for some other reason that to make more $$ going on speaking tours.

She really has no effect on the public other than someone to laugh at, same with the premise of this thread. Its absolutley absurd.

I so love that one. If you'd actually heard the gaffe and not parroted some talking point fed to you, you'd know the math would have worked out to 60 states in all.

It's quite up there with those who think Palin actually said she could see Russia from her house.

So, a Palin figure on the left? Would Cynthia McKinney count?

Like Palin, she appears to ignorant and uninterested in what lies outside her immediate sphere of interest, although admittedly she has some book smarts. Like Palin, she has a following who will excuse anything on her behalf. Like Palin, she can hear the gravy train miles and miles away. And like Palin, she was put forth for a position she clearly wasn't quite ready for.

However: Nobody - absolutely nobody - would put her forth on the national stage.

We would have heard stories about how she was a "supermom". She would have been admired by most liberals as a role model. The media would have glossed over the areas where she lacks experience (they've done this before). Her views and voting records would have been glossed over unless they would directly help her cause. She would have been successfully portrayed as the common person taking on corrupt government and winning. There would have been stories of how her family had reversed the conventional roles of parenthood with her husband caring for the kids while she was away---setting an example for other women to pursue their dreams.

What do you think?
If a cow had a rocket in its butt, could it fly to the moon?

But thinking Sandra Fluke is an embarrassment to women is? There are many "jokes" as far as public figures go. But only Republican women are fodder for those jokes without it being a war on women. Or so goes the Democrat narrative.

Well, yes, there is in fact a a major difference between Sandra Fluke's testimony concerning the use of birth control pills for medical purposes such as controlling ovarian cysts, and Sarah Palin struggling to form a complete sentence on how awful Katie Couric was for asking her what newspapers she reads. Simply put, fluke is knowledgable, and Palin sounds like like a junior high student with a concussion.

Nancy Pelosi. Former Speaker of the House. Third in line to the Presidency. I would say the Democrats had her on the national stage, and yet she is slightly more sentient than a slice of cheese.

Knowledgeable? A Georgetown graduate who is advocating for herself and her equally affluent friends to have someone else pay for the birth control of their choice? Yes, she is well spoken, but hardly a shining example of critical thinking skills. Btw, I did not say Palin forms complete or coherent sentences.
