I originally had a much longer post planned about how the leaders of the greatest country on earth should rise above us, not stoop down to our level, but I found that a picture says a thousand words...
The GOP Fantasy - VP actually married husband due to pregnancy (how is ABSTINENCE going?), she went to 6 colleges in order to get a degree (aka DEGREE SHOPPING), then has pregnant teenage daughter (family values ROCK!), son went to military instead of college (INDIA/CHINA be scared of our system), she hired a lawyer to defend herself against charges (usual ALASKA corruption), and she has allegations of affair with husband's partner (plain fun FODDER for tabloids):
I'm horrified, but I admire the bold attempt to re-capture the GOP base while ignoring the rest of the country who actually wants to do better. I have never in my life seen a more bizarre way to make "Elite" folks who actually went to Harvard from a single, poor mother seem so WASPY and awful - it's fascinating how the American dream used to be about success, and now it's about mediocrity, at least from the GOP side. Good luck in the trailer...
Yes, mediocrity is getting elected governor, serving in the military and raising kids. These are not things that the best and the brightest do!
Achievement, on the other hand, is limited to attending an Ivy League school, writing multiple memoirs about yourself (the younger you start, the better), and accomplishing exactly nothing over 11 years in two offices.
Is there any wonder that the people keep voting for "mediocrity"?

You've seen the movie idiocracy? That's where we're headed. I expect Palin to announce that Brawndo's got what plants crave any day now.

Sarah Palin belives that climate change has nothing to do with human activities. Even Bush now believes that humans have caused climate change.
It's a sad state of affairs when you manage to make George W Bush look like an informed progressive.

She quit as Governor of a big national park, and GOP wants her to run for Prez?

Wake up fools. Al Gore has made 90 million dollars in the last 3 years from his global warming scam. That money is coming from you and me. If green house gas gas is causing global climate change where did the green house gas come from that caused the little ice age from the 1500's through the 1800's. What about the extinction of the dynasaurs. The progressives are taking advantage of your ignorance of history to take all you have. When obama says redistribution of wealth he doesn't mean from the rich to the poor. He's talking from all of us to the government. That is to say to him.

You idiots just don't realize how smart Palin is. Palin quit as governer to protect Alaska. Palin knows that you beat fools by letting them think they won. Now she is free to kick their asses and she is.
