Is Sarah Palin sort of lazy too?

Sarah Palin's well thought out opinion on the Veterans Affairs situation

“Another thing is, Barack Obama still doesn’t see what the main problem is. The main problem is government. It is not the solution, like Ronald Reagan said. It is the problem.”

The first two sentences of the wiki page describing the much discussed Department of Veterans Affairs

The Department of Veterans Affairs Act of 1988 (Pub.L. 100–527) changed the former Veterans Administration, an independent government agency established in 1930, primarily at that time to see to needs of World War I, into a Cabinet-level Department of Veterans Affairs. It was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on October 25, 1988

Her collected political wisdom can be boiled down into two or three all-purpose sentences.

With a population of avowed government-haters who just want government out of their lives?

Because the job was too hard, and people were mean to her?

Yeah. She's lazy...

At one point she spits under her breath "I really don't want to go back there" There being Alaska.
It is a very disturbing movie on some levels- that it actually happened. But her idiocy is comical.

anyone who has the smarts to attend 4 different colleges must be a genius.

In any event, she recognized that her base is made up of functionally illiterate horny old white men. nothing turns that crew off faster than a woman with real brains.

10. If Sarah Palin was a random woman sitting at a Bus stop in LA or SF saying this stuff...

No one would give a damn. They'd just dismiss her as some crazy bag lady.

The fact that she become governor of Alaska says a lot about the sad state of our society. 700,000+ people call Alaska home and ...Sarah Palin is what rises to the top?

SHAMEFUL!
