Palin represents what I loathe about the current Republican Party
Some of you can articulate this much better than I can. But I just cannot get away from thinking in how many ways Palin represents all that I feel is wrong with the Republicans at this point in time.

She is glitz without substantive stuff.
She is a total hypocrite. (In more ways than I have time to innumerate.)
She may not be innately stupid, but she sure isn't brilliant. ( I firmly believe that we need smart people as our presidents and VPs.)
Her political hero must certainly be Karl Rove.

I use to love Alaska. Right now, I don't intend to visit there for a while.
(And I will NEVER drink a Diet Dr. Pepper again.)

5. Well said...
It's many levels deeper than merely willfully ignorant.

7. Willfully ignorant and arrogant and the whole shopping spree thing was the perfect
example of what is so wrong with her and her brand of politics. Fake Hockey mom spent money like she hit the lottery, i'm sure somewhere in there she bought some really tragic Faux Art or Fart like Thomas Kincade.

8. not important
I have political differences with the right wing free market anti-labor crowd. I don't care at all about their personal qualities.

If they were smart and fashionable and stylish and well-spoken, that would be worse, not better.

9. Palin is just like Bush - completely incurious.
She knows what she knows and doesn't feel a need to learn anything else. Operating as an instrument of God, her decisions are guided by him.

:scared:

10. Diet Dr. Pepper?
What's that got to do with the price of tea in China.


(FWIW, I will drink all I want. Does she drink them? If so, so what? It's not Diet Dr. Pepper's fault. I'm sure a lot of stupid people drink it.)
