Sarah Palin is NOT the female Ronald Reagan, but rather the female George Wallace

[Hawaii Hiker]

I totally agree with the accessment from www.electoral-vote.com

She has every bit the anger & bitterness that George Wallace had...

Also, Reagan won 2 landslide elections....Other than the deepest of red state areas, where the hell else could Sarah Palin win.....



"Many pundits have said she wants to carry the conservative banner and that she is a female Ronald Reagan. I don't think that is true. She is a female George Wallace--an angry representative of the lower middle class who feels put upon by elites. She went to six third-tier colleges before managing to graduate and clearly resents people like President Obama who sailed through Columbia and Harvard Law School and surrounded himself with experts from the Ivy League and M.I.T"...

1. ...but what Wallace did for racists she's doing it for the STUPID. n/t

Not that racist and stupid are mutually exclusive.

2. More like the female Dan Quayle only dumber

[YOY]

4. +1

With a twist of fundie dysfunction.

[rurallib]

3. I'd say more like George W.

Quits at everything, ignorant and lazy, incurious and vengeful.

[Frustratedlady]

6. Bingo, although she does have a smattering of Wallace beneath the surface.

She is vindictive, that's for sure.

[LeftishBrit]

18. The difference is that George W. was of the elite, and would never have got into power if not for

his family connections.

Palin got into power through sheer cheek.

Someone once said that some achieve fame 'through the door called Push and some through the door called Pull'. I'd say Palin got in through Push and Bush through Pull.

What is truly scary is that either of them got taken seriously.

22. palin didn't get where she is without some money behind her, don't kid yourself.

she's never done anything, yet she's the heir apparent to bush's far-right base?

please. she has backers who put her there.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

5. I see her as the female George Bush. Incurious, dumb, lazy

and expects the world to bow down at her feet. She has plenty of examples of quitting jobs (like Dubya and the Air National Guard), doesn't mind devouring people to get ahead and the talk, oh, lordy, the talk. Their rambling, nonsensical speeches are exact clones of each other. Both are airheads with the faux Christian shtick down pat and the empty flat affect on their faces like they don't have a clue what is going on. Dubya could be her brother from another mother.

8. I agree -- GWB is a better example of the male Palin.

[Buzz Clik]

7. George Wallace? He was a very special kind of populist. Not sure Palin fits that.

They played their base siimilarly, but the "young" Wallace was a hateful sonofabitch.

[kegler14]

9. She 's also become a professional blamer and whiner,

something I thought conservatives frowned on.

[Sherman A1]

10. As much as I dislike George Wallace

The Esteemed soon to be former Gov of Alaska would have to improve by several magnitudes to equal George Wallace.

[Gman]

11. No, Palin is more a male Bob Boodalang

been so long, I'm forgetting how to spell his name now.

[Historic NY]

12. but the best from EV..........

and she has incredibly thin skin for a politician, constantly blaming the media and hostile (often Republican) politicians for her problems. Her motto is: "It's not my fault."

[calico1]

13. Yeah, hasn't she threatened to sue any paper

or reporter that says anything bad about her?

:rofl:

[enigmatic]

14. Wallace was an opportunist politician

Palin is pure W, right down to the incurious mind, the primal, basic sense of revenge, and the Governmental IQ of a canned ham.

[Javaman]

15. she's the female Bullwinkle the moose. nt

[bamacrat]

16. As an Alabamian fully aware of our state history.

I feel that is a bit of an insult, George Wallace was not that dumb. Racist, ignorant maybe but Sarah Palin exudes an aire of proud stupidity of Bushian levels, or even dare I say create a new category of dumb..Palian dumbness.

[JerseygirlCT]

17. That's probably not fair to Wallace. nt

[BurtWorm]

19. Palin is closer to Chance from Being There, but with political ambition

A woman of no substance, no desire to be substantive, no clue how to get substance. She's all shiny surface. And ambition.

[babydollhead]

20. Sarah Palin =Rick Santorum

[Orsino]

21. The Chilla From Wasilla.

Even governing as a figurehead, as Alaska's political prize-stroker, was too much work for her.
