Is this some sort of old Republican frat boy prank? Or are they simply planning on using her as a sort of puppet regime should she be elected....heaven forbid!
The last thing that America needs is a President who couldn't locate Afghanistan on a map(or spell it) if her life depended on it. Or worse yet, one who would simply quit in the middle of her term because "those nasty reporters just won't stop writtin' stuff 'bout the family".
I have yet to hear her utter an intelligent sentence...about anything.
I have heard numerous Republican talking heads speak about her as if she was the Virgin Mary/Margaret Thatcher/a female Ronald Reagan And the followers of these talking heads are dumb enough to agree.
For the sake of the country, please just let her go away.

Same line- all republicans are dumb. Just ask any democrat, as they will tell you so.
Many conservatives do not like Palin. However, she was a straight A student in high school and college. I don't think you can be "dumb" and do that. Remember Ross Perot's running mate, Admiral Stockdale? He was inarticulate and percieved by the nation as "dumb" but was actually a pretty intelligent guy. I think that in many instances, politicians who are not polished in public speaking and dodging questions appear "dumb", as we are not used to ordinary citizens speaking in public. We all would fumble. I am definately not a Palin fan at all. But if we want to talk really dumb, let's take a look at Nancy Pelosi.
I like it in the Bush's second campaign in which all the libs kept referring to him as "dumb". They stopped after they found out that Kerry was "dumber", as he had a lower IQ. It was almost as entertaining as the likes of Martin Sheen and other hollywood types, sporting thier GEDs as academic credentials, to refer to a Yale graduate as "dumb".
You are only "dumb" if you are a republican. If you are a liberal with an IQ below 100, the only way that could have happened if your were made that way by society and oppression from rich people. You are the "salt of the earth", "hardworking", but never "dumb", or "racist".
