Absolutely. Who buys the Journal anyway? The best part of the paper is the community voice.

Hey...be careful about slamming Hamilton. It’s not a bad place at all.

But it still has very nice sections. Sections that I could very easily live in.

As a woman, I cannot tell you how incredibly sick and tired I am of hearing Palin referred to as a “Barbie” doll. I know it doesn’t happen EVER on the liberal side, but it is possible for a woman to be attractive and intelligent. It’s ridiculous that she is criticized for being attractive.

She did a lot more for Alaska than wearing “frilly blouses”, unless “frilly blouses” is a code word for laying the groundwork for a major pipeline to be constructed (which is the largest infrastructure project in North America), and reducing state spending by $445 million; both of which I consider pretty major.

She’s not perfect, and she’s not President Reagan reincarnated. She’s also not some dumb bimbo just because her pedigree isn’t Ivy League and her family doesn’t bow at the alter of the Beltway elite.

Besides, in all honesty, I find it difficult to believe that Governor Palin could possible say anything dumber than any number of things Joe Biden has said, despite having the properly approved pedigree.

Sarah Palin is the most dangerous person in America. She represents the biggest threat to the statist/leftist agenda, which is why she has been so demonized.

Had McCain won the presidency, and she was vice-president, those threatened by her in her own party would have found some way to bring her down, maybe even by now.

There is no way the establishment politicians in this country, conservative or liberal, will allow her to run for president. She is simply too popular with the vast silent majority. And her own agenda does not match the statist agenda of ruling elite in this country.

Intellectual lightweight? Maybe. she certainly doesn’t have the Ivy League pedigree that the left wing press thinks is necessary to be president. Which, of course is laughable. This lady has tons of common sense, and is not afraid to call BS when she sees it. Bill Clinton was widely hailed as the smartest president ever, and was in fact a buffoon. How high does a president have to score on their SAT’s, anyway?

That’s what this country needs right now- a Harry Truman, an Andrew Jackson (who shut down the National Bank for good reasons).

Color me stupid, but does this poster have a history of posting these kind of threads or something? I’m lost. . .

You’re not stupid, no matter what color that is... :)

Yes, he’s a Mitt supporter.

Mitt’s an elitist, as is the poster. Therefore they hate SP. Simple as that.

As far as the “intellectual lightweight” accusation goes,

I’d really like to see a comparison of SP’s SAT scores with 0bama’s.

Steve-b has a case of Palin Derangement Syndrome worst than most democrats. You can see his posting history here. http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/by:steveb/index?tab=comments;brevity=full;options=no-change It's gotten to the point where it's almost amusing. Maybe that's David Shyster's login name.

“I’d really like to see a comparison of SP’s SAT scores with 0bama’s.”

Wouldn’t we all? That SAT score, my friend, is privileged information, locked behind a wall of lawyers and secrecy that only millions of dollars can provide.

Incidentally, I have some inlaws who have a superior attitude about their intellectual ability because their father could afford to send them to expensive colleges. Of course, their elitist libs.

However, any mention of comparing “first time” ACT/SAT scores usually takes the edge off their arrogance.

God has a way of humbling, eh?

Dole was extremely bad, but to be fair, he also had the disadvantage of going against an incumbent President.

Are These Your Words?

This is one of the fundamental problems with Palin -- her insistence on playing the victim is incompatible with any attempt to present herself as either competent or conservative.

No bias in this guy.

Has he ever looked at what we got?

Sarah could be near as bad as this dynamic Communist we have in a million years.
