I know one thing, one of the reasons mccain lost was because he choose palin

[still_one]

and a lot of independents made the difference

That "palin" mentality is what is composes these "teabaggers",

and though the MSM would like to have you believe that they represent a majority viewpoint, I don't believe it for a second

The MSM insights in the last decade have been dismal at best

1. The teabaggers are the same

20 percenters that kept supporting blivet no matter what. Still loud, rude and blindly stupid.

2. I believe that, and firmly believe that the majority of Americans do not accept their insanity /nt

3. Palin epitomizes the right wing core beliefs

Sarah Palin is the prime example of the amalgam of the Conservative mind set. She only appeals to the Republican base and can only secure 40% (or less) of the vote. She lacks the moderate stance required on a whole host of issues to attract the centrist voter.

One can only hope the Republicans will nominate her in 2012 to go up against our President. It would be a slaughter leaving the Republican Party crippled for 25 years.

6. I totally disagree

While it's tempting to want an easy victory against a total clown, this country is just crazy enough to elect her. It would be the worst possible thing ever to happen to this country.

Remember, she managed to garner support from some liberals who were pissed that Hillary wasn't on the ticket. Don't think it can't happen.

7. This country "elected" Bush twice...they will elect anyone.

I believe the elections were stolen, but they shouldn't have even been close.

On the right day and in the right conditions, Palin could get elected.

4. Good point.

5. True, but I think the Independents rejected Palin because she was clearly unqualified

not necessarily because of her specific views.

8. I'm a conspiracy theorist, so I think Palin was chosen on his behalf to aid in the bigger illusion

... and to provide an acceptable Establishment justification for 'why' he 'lost' - - even though the entire cycle/election was, as are all American presidential "elections," scripted and predetermined, based on the movie script that the country's owners maintain in order to sustain the ruse of We The People actually having a determining hand in affairs/policies (we don't).

are Paulites.
