>>>>>>>Ran across something at the library yesterday you would find interesting. There's this book "Going Rouge" with a big picture of Sarah Palin on the cover and "Sarah Palin" in big letters under the picture and I think "Holy crap they misspelled 'Rogue'". I even went to the librarian with it thinking maybe my bad spelling was catching up with me. She was as confused as I, we went on line looking for "Going Rogue" and sure enough, different publisher etc. On further review, the book in our hands was a collection of hit pieces on Sarah Palin. But in fact a reminder that the best reason to vote for Obama was that no matter how unready he was to be President putting Palin a 72 year old heartbeat away from the Presidency would have been a bad idea.

>>>>>>>I do think most of the attacks on her were unprincipled, partisan and would have been exactly the same if she had a PhD in international relations as long as she was pro-Life and was even known to have ever gone to church, but that doesn't mean they weren't right.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>I don't think the attacks on her were unwarranted. It's downright scary how close she was to the presidency. A dummy who just happened to look great and gave the far right the red meat they wanted. You could pull a random person off a bus who would be more qualified than her.

>>>>>Hmmmm...lemme take a crack at this. ;)

>>>>>I know the attacks on Him weren't unwarranted. It's downright scary that He won the presidency. A dummy who just happened to look great and gave the far left the blue corn tortillas they wanted. You could pull a random person off a bus who would be more qualified than Him.

>>>>That is really beneath you, Jake. If you think Obama is a dummy in Sarah Palin's class you are delusional.
>>>
>>>He has done nothing to change my belief that he is at best an elitist pseudo-intellectual prop with an overstated oratory gift and a supposed educational pedigree which we are supposed to take at face value. At worst he's a mind-numbingly unintelligent ideologue who cannot separate reality from his myopic delusional tunnel-vision of oppression and subjugation.
>>>
>>>Or both.
>>>"Corpseman" REALLY?!? He's the Commander on Chief! Yet He cannot bother to learn how to properly pronounce a third grade vocabulary word?
>>>
>>>I may be wrong. He may actually be insane. ;) After all he is trotting out all the same old Marxist "greater good" crap that the world has been subjected to for more than a century despite it's repeated historical violations of life, liberty, property and sovereignty.
>>>
>>>Sarah may be an intellectual feather, but thanks to the financial meltdown she's not in office. He is in office and he's ignoring history and doing everything possible to make things worse. That's just plain stupid.

>>Jake, we have always gotten along fine despite our wildly divergent political views. This discussion is making me angry and I am bowing out of it. See you another day.

>Fair enough.

Agreed. It never bothers me for long when people don't agree with me. We are certainly not a monolithic country.
