Run Palin Out of Town With Her "Revolution"

Attention vocal and diehard Sarah Palin fans ... especially those who want her to become president sooner rather than later: Do you REALLY want a soccer mom with an undergraduate journalism degree to become the leader of the free world? Do you REALLY want someone who you can probably beat in a number of subjects and activities to decide whether the United States decides to bomb another country?

Here's what I know: Palin scares the living hell out of me. But not as much as the myopic, usually bombastic Tea Party zealots who think she's the next thing since sliced bread.

At the end of the day, the president of the United States should be smarter, more logical, more politically astute, more learned, more connected, more global in their thinking, more scholarly, more insightful, and just about more everything than the man or woman next door. That's what a leader is.

And what Sarah Palin is not.

I don't want my president to be someone who I could envision living next door to me; washing their car on Saturday afternoon just like me; managing bills like me; as limited in their view of international affairs as me; and, plainly spoken, as common as me. I don't want my leaders using crib notes from the palm of their hand.

I want my leader to be super smart, map-savvy, well connected and not incredibly small-minded and simple.

Like Sarah Palin is.

I don't want Sarah Palin anywhere near an elected position, at any level, ever again, as long as I call America home. I'm afraid of -- but not intimidated by -- her and the havoc she would cause if she ever got control of anything.

I take it he thinks that Mr. Obama has all the attributes that he says Governor Palin lacks. Why is he such a failure already then?

“Do you REALLY want a soccer mom with an undergraduate journalism degree to become the leader of the free world?”

[GeronL]

[TheDailyChange]

I say this all of the time; Democrats like to be led by the hand. They love to be ruled. A Democrat president is treated like royalty by the Democrat serfs.

Well, there's your problem.

Five or six words on her hand, and she talks for an hour.
Totus breaks down and he stumbles and mumbles for an eternity.

[JDoutrider]

They are terrified of her!

'sokay, but we already knew that.

Yeah? So why was Barry the O elected ?? He fails on all counts.

Carpenters and fishermen and actors have done very well.
Winston was a journalist....

I hate Illinois Nazis.

But he is so much more intelligent than the rest of us...he told us so on his tour around the 57 states during his campaign....

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

(((PING)))

[sten]

considering no one can prove that the current _resident even went to college, let alone having executive or real-world business experience, it’d be a welcome improvement

[Niteflyr]

"I don't want Sarah Palin anywhere near an elected position, "

Yeah and we don't want you anywhere near Sarah Palin...

Do you REALLY want a soccer mom with an undergraduate journalism degree to become the leader of the free world? Do you REALLY want someone who you can probably beat in a number of subjects and activities to decide whether the United States decides to bomb another country?

I would prefer the HOCKEY mom with a journalism degree, who went on to win elections in her home state, all the way to the Governor's office, and then had to negotiate with major oil companies to benefit her constituents, than a two bit Chicago thug who happened to charm his way into Columbia, and then Harvard, where he apparently didn't actually DO anything academically, because no one has come forward to 'claim' him. And he didn't have much to say in his stint in the IL legislature, or as a Senator for 154 days, before he decided he was ready to be President.

I haven't seen ANY evidence that Barack Obama has any more intelligence than Sarah Palin. I HAVE seen evidence that he doesn't have the CHARACTER of the woman, and frankly, that counts more for me in a President than what schools he or she attended.

Just more liberal intellectual snobbery.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

So...this is scary?

...but no comment on these guys, his fellow Chicago citizens?

[DocRock]

Two words come to mind... Corpse man.
