    Who is this "intelligencia of the left" that you refer to?

    Don'cha just love it? Everybody who disagrees with NK is an idiot.

    Since this thread is about Sarah Palin:

    Why I like Sarah.

    She is not a plastic politician. She actually HAS core values that she adheres to. How refreshing is that?

    She knows what is is to run a small business and keep a home afloat without unlimited sums of money to deal with.

    She understands the thinking of a majority of her fellow countrymen, and shares their values.

    She is honest. Oh what a difference THAT makes.

    She can actually make a speech without a teleprompter.

    She has exhibited good judgment as shown with regard to the policies she brought to Alaska.

    She was smart enough to change her position before she and her family were pauperized by baseless charges ad nauseum.

    She knows how to energize her base. Unlike someone I could mention.

    She is not afraid of a fight. She took on her own party when she believed it necessary for the good of her state.

    As to her lack of foreign experience, I think you will find she is a quick study. Besides, the President of the USA doesn't have to know every detail about every country in the world. That's what intelligence agencies and counsellors are for.

    I'm not saying she is the only one. We may have others who also have these qualities .

    And I guess the 60% + of Americans who share the same concerns as Palin are idiotic too.

    But... you're the bright one.

    Righto...

    Hello again, El:

    What? And those people were doing their laundry during the last election?? You're right. I'm not going to give you any slack when you make up numbers.

    "Majority"?

    When spending public money to take her family along on political trips for which they weren't invited?

    Yup, got to kill those wolves however cruelly possible and cut off a front leg for proof while the wolf is still alive. And oh yea, got to get those big-box stores into town to destroy local businesses and family values.

    She was smart enough...
    Wha?? Whoa! When was that?

    Has she learned world history and political science yet?

    I think you made a grave error in logic here. You could extrapolate that everyone who agrees with Palin is an idiot but not the extrapolation that you made, that's nonsense.

    I think the fact that you 'intelligent' men / women on this board revere this women is an insult to that intelligence. Each and everyone of you people here have more intellect in your little finger than this imbecile of women has in here head, yet you pin her up like some national hero / saviour. Give me a break. If this women ever leads your Country then you really are in trouble.

    She's probably a good mum and a nice lady. But intelligent she isn't!!

    So you don't think that 60% of the American population is against Obamacare? The polls are all wrong, and the only poll that matters is the 2008 election?

    Good. Hold onto that thought. Keep living in the past.

    I'm looking forward to watching your reaction in 2010.

    Hello El:

    Of the eleven respondents to MY poll, 73% of the Americans that populate THIS board support MY positions over YOURS.

    You may continue to believe your phantom polls if you wish, but you ain't fooling anybody.

    Hello again, Steve:

    There you go, using that "you" thing again. You are really a closet liberal, so of course, you don't revere her. But, Galveston and 450 would vote for her for ANYTHING in a New York minute. You know that to be so. Yes, I mean YOU!

    Ah, my mistake. And by the way, that proves I'm not a closet liberal - they don't admit to mistakes unless it's someone else's mistake.

    Take Nancy Pelosi for instance... please.

    Hi, Ex.

    I think you're reading your poll wrong.

    You are always on the opposite side from Elliot, Speech, and Tom.

    When I looked at the bar graphs, it looked like the total for the 3 named is greater than yours.

    What do you say?

    Hello gal:

    I say you're a very good Republican like the Wolverine. You see the data you want to see.

    If you want to include people besides just me and Elliot, NK, and Wondergirl are on my side. What happens when you add THOSE totals to mine?
