Huh?

Hillary Clinton?

I am not a Hillary Clinton fan.  Any fact based criticism is OK by me.  Made-up stuff is not acceptable for anyone.

[we vs us]

If you want to look at a "train wreck", turn your attention to that gaffe machine Joe Biden.

Tell me about it.

I'll give you this, Guido.  You're good at the misdirection bits.  But the subject was Ms. Palin, not Obama or Biden.  Also, having thousands of followers on Facebook or Twitter doesn't mean her ideas are worthwhile.  There was a time when nearly everyone believed the Earth was flat.  Was that true because the majority believed it?

As for being pissed off about Palin, you couldn't be more wrong.  I don't get angry about the likes of her.  Instead, I just find her and her followers very puzzling.  You say she's qualified to be President by reason of her birth here, but those standards apply equally to almost all of us.  Further, that means each of us is qualified to be President as well.  

And, that, as we're both aware, is hooey.

Our President should be the smartest guy in the room, not the most affable, or the one we'd most like have a beer with on a hot afternoon.

I didn't think it was idiotic, in fact I agreed with her assessment. I also laughed my a$$ off with the "W-T-F" comment. Here is a take that I agree with as well.

Now to this thread. Please please tell me what the left's obsession is with Private Citizen Palin. Are they afraid of her? Is it because she doesn't kiss Obama's backside? Is there any other public/private figure in this country who is critiqued/attacked as much and viciously as Palin? Sheesh, she posts something on Facebook and the left gets its panties all wadded up. It's freakin hilarious to watch.

One other thing. Right now the middle east is on the brink of total chaos, unemployment claims in this country rose dramatically last week, our government that pushed HCR is handing out waivers left and right, our nation's deficits are skyrocketing, we are at war in Afghanistan (despite Obama's idiotic statement that combat operations there have ended), and on and on. Perhaps talking about Palin is your way of not dealing with what really is important.

So you agree with her statement that debt incurred by the Soviets in order to launch Sputnik in 1957 led to the collapse of the USSR in 1989?

No you don't.

Watch this quote on YouTube, it's much worse than reading it.

Did you not read the article I cited? Here is an article about needing a "Sputnik monent" from that well known right wing rag "Newsweek".

Also, we got Ed's "train wreck" answer as to the left's PDS. What's your reason for your PDS?

And I find her detractors puzzling for the reasons I already discussed. So we are both puzzled. As for being qualified for president, I was responding to your point. YOU said she wasn't qualified. Okay. How so? I mentioned Obama in this connection to demonstrate apparently what qualifies someone to be president, which you I gather is sufficient.

You are correct about one thing, according to our constitution everyone that meets the above criteria is by law "qualified" to be president. Whether you personally feel she is too dumb to be president is another matter. Even then, though, we have had "dumb" presidents. Heck, we had a married president shove a cigar up an intern's .... in past 15 years and then of course there is Nixon. We will not  even get into Harding's issues for obvious reasons.

May be the case, but that President was a Rhode's Scholar.  Mama Grizzly is no Rhode's Scholar.

Tell me about it. 

SOMEONE may be thinking of changing his avatar.

What do you think of Sarah Palin? Would you consider her for VP?

Love her. Constitution. American citizen. Exercising the right to privacy. Free speech. Haters -- those who don't like Sarah Palin. That's what they are. Sarah Palin: I love you because America gives you the constitutional right to do whatever you want to do as a woman. And people don't think you can do because you're a woman. They try to make a mockery out of you. But you stand up for your rights and stand strong for your rights. And don't let anyone try to cut you down. Not only are they talking about Sarah Palin. They're talking about me.

I love this part of the quote:

They try to make a mockery out of you

We don't try to make a mockery out of her.  She's doing pretty good at that on her own.  When she opens her mouth.
