The REAL Reason They Chose Palin... Randi is on FIRE today!

[Yes We Did]

No, it's not because she's a woman.
No, it's not because she's a govenor.
No, it's not because she's hot (in a naughty librarian way)

It's because she is DUMB! "...What is it the VP does?"

Think about it. They put the dumbest people in the highest positions so Cheney & Bush can pretty much make them do whatever they want them to do.

Seriously.

How else could Cheney remain president? McCain will tow the line and Palin is so dumb that she will just be happy to be there.

What say you?




OH, one more note. Her mayorship... it wasn't a partisan election. She won by running on "abortion" by sending little pink packets to citizens. She won by receiving roughtly 600 signatures.

1. Someone on DU coined the term "idiocracy"

to describe our evolving form of government under Republican rule. Can't top it.

[Yes We Did]

4. Oh that's AWESOME!!! LMAO!!! n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

5. Mike Judge coined that term actually.

He made a movie about it.

[calimary]

15. LOVED that movie! Welcome to DU!

They played that movie in my son's social studies class last year.

[JuniperLea]

14. No they didn't...

That's the title of a movie... a movie everyone on DU should rent!

2. it has crossed my mind

not so much that she is dumb but ill prepared for the game she is about to join...

[Yes We Did]

6. What about the ..."What is it the VP does" comment?

I think that makes her dumb... Or at least gives me reason to question it.

LOL!

[Epiphany4z]

7. I think she was

attempting to be funny...before Cheney it was always joke what does the vp do anyway.

[Yes We Did]

8. Mission Un-Accomplished...

Just like the Iraq war.

Which she said she doesn't follow.

[grassfed]

3. & why they chose mccain... useful dolts with easily manipulated egos

[Danger Mouse]

9. First of all, she's completely nuts and won't be as easy to manipulate as the neocons think.

She'll belong to the fundies, and if the fundies ever clash interests with the cons, the fundies will win. She's evil and vindictive and won't take any shit.
Second, she's pretty much being controlled by her husband, who seems to be every bit as much of a wingnut loon as she is.
They'd team up with the fundies, kick the neocon influence out, and establish the United Christian States of America.
All your worst nightmares would come true, and we'd long for the days of Bush and McCain.

[Yes We Did]

12. Not doubting what you say, but....

do you have some links to her fundraiser ties? Lobbyists?

Again... not doubting what you say is true, I just want to better inform myself.

[Danger Mouse]

17. Hmm, actually, I don't know who pays her bills, but I bet it's Big Oil.

My prediction is based mostly on a gut feeling. We should be very, very afraid of a Sarah Palin presidency.
That's why. I think that she'd be too erratic and dangerous to be controlled by the cons or the corps.

[hamsterjill]

10. The clip from a couple of months back substantiates this...

You know...the one where she says she will have to have answered for her exactly what it is that the VP DOES.

That may have been her audition for the job!

[Bucky]

11. She's really not even all that dumb. She's just shallow, corrupt, and tragically uncurious

Oooh, de ja vu!

[KamaAina]

13. Wasn't it Randi who called her "Danielle Quayle"?

:rofl:

[KittyWampus]

16. Sarah Palin is many things. Dumb isn't one of them. This is Randi's way of feeling superior

[SeattleGirl]

20. Palin doesn't even know what the VP does. That doesn't make her

a braniac in my book.

I say she's dumb.

Nasty, vindictive, and dumb.

[Yes We Did]

21. Wow... wondered how long it would take.

For someone to attack Randi for going after Palin.

Classic.

[LSK]

22. no, if you listened to the show, shes dumb in a Monica Goodling type of way

More like ignorant rather than dumb.

[Yes We Did]

26. P is probably still agrny that she voted for Obama.

I'm sure if Olberman had said it, P would have given the same response.

[Orsino]

18. She's not dumb.

Nor will Bush or Cheney's voice be a factor. The only opinions that matter are those of the corporate heads who run the current Administration.

But she is compliant, and meets the minimum Republican standards for vindictiveness and corruption. They know they can count on her to make the wrong decisions in their favor.

[LSK]

19. how about the caller comparing her to chrissy from three's company

:rofl:

[Yes We Did]

23. Can't have the cute without the dumb...

:rofl:

[LSK]

24. and in this episode shes the Vice President!

:rofl:

[judasdisney]

25. If she withdraws for VP, she will become a Redneck Martyr and symbol of victimhood

Doesn't anyone on DU play chess?

[Yes We Did]

27. It's a possibility, althought wish you wouldn't use that word.

How about "country bumpkin"

Not all republicans in rural areas are "rednecks" Many are just uninformed.

[judasdisney]

28. You're absolutely right. That word is off the table, I used it out of blindness

The comedians who proudly use that word and the Palin daughter's boyfriend's proud self-description with that word had me using it freely.

Point taken.

[Yes We Did]

31. My girlfriend had "enlightened" me to not use words like that.

At first I didn't get it, but the more she explained it the more it made sense.

But no harm done.

[symbolman]

29. Anyone got the Magic producer/aid number so I can get to Randi?

My Sister and Bro-in-law and the AIP Chairmen.. PM it to me if you'd like, I'd really love to talk to her today, if you can help :)

[Yes We Did]

30. 866-87-randi

[bbgrunt]

32. Randi is right on!

[NewJeffCT]

33. Can we not call them dumb?

The Republicans have been smart enough to win nine out of the last fourteen presidential elections. And, yes, while the last two were stolen, we weren't smart enough to figure out how to stop them.

So, what does that say about us?

Bush certainly isn't stupid. He is a poor speaker and intellectually incurious, but I certainly don't think he is stupid.

And, if you call Palin stupid and she puts a couple of words together in a sentence, she has exceeded expectations and is a winner in the eyes of the public.

We have plenty of things to attack Palin on besides her intelligence - AIP, flip-flops, lack of experience, ties to Abramoff and Stevens, etc, etc.

[Yes We Did]

34. Point taken, but...

I still think not knowing what the VP does and not being up on the war makes you... D. U. M. B.

or at least willfully ignorant.

[Th1onein]

35. NOT TRUE

It's because every other Republican is either out on bail or serving time as a sex offender.

[CitizenPatriot]

36. a friend who thinks everything out for days before rendering an opinion

said today, "It is irresponsible of her to run. She knows she's not qualified."

WOW. think about that statement for a while -- as it calls her to task for her own ambition over country.

What I actually see here is ODD. I see her actually undoing them. they are underestimating her fealty to her husband and church. She is not going to take orders from them as soon as she can afford not to. She got rid of men who were in their positions for loooong time-- accused them of ethics violations.

you don't think she'd have some stuff on old cheney and mcpain? I see in her someone who's so green and so self-inflated, she doesn't understand moving up in the ranks, the way things are done. I should capitalize that. I work in a business much like politics and there is a WAY things are done. The burning ambitious think they will do it differently....and sometimes they do. By stabbing the people in the back who got them there (their eventual descent is painful, though). that article by the woman who knows her said this-- she stabbed everyone in the back who helped her.

she will be the undoing of mccain. she might poison him, or set him up -- something. she will get rid of him -- and cheney, too. Once she's IN power, she will think she can put an end to him and she just might do it.

If seh weren't even worse than bush, this might be satisfying -- but as it is, it's just a revolving door of backstabbers and now a newbie who doesn't know how the game is played. She's ego-manical enough to be dangerously reckless and she has a history of being just that.

[skooooo]

37. You have some good points....

She has kicked a lot of ass in Alaska, and knows how to do it.

[Generic Brad]

38. I disagree with her theory

If they really were trying to choose the dumbest Republican for the job, Michelle Bachmann would have been a shoo in.
