Oh, yeah, that's it. We all like her because of her looks. Give us a break, chump. We have far more brains than you give us credit for.
I don’t think you read what I wrote carefully - I didn’t say Palin laughed, I said Obama laughed.
What I think, personally, is that Palin would have had the White House in 2012 if she wanted it. And I think she had done all of the prep for the previous two years to actually run. The country was primed and straining at the bit to vote for her, and she would have won in a landslide.
And, BTW, I would have voted for her.
But at the last second, she walked away. And when she did, that act created a giant sucking psychological vacuum letdown in conservatives that still resonates today. No other conservative candidate could fill that sudden lack of air in the time left before the election, and that’s why Obama won again.
So why did Palin do it? If it was to help Obama, it’s easy to see that effect in what she did. If it wasn’t to help Obama, then what was the reason? Was she threatened? If so, and she caved, okay, I understand, but that’s that for her running for president - I imagine every presidential candidate since Washington has been threatened behind the scenes. It’s part of the job.
If she wasn’t threatened, and she wasn’t helping Obama, then... why?
It’s politics. There’s always a why. And the why is always hardball. I just want to know what it is.
And she does have a pretty face, and that does make people let their guard down and not ask hard questions - it’s just a fact. So for pointing it out, and warning not to lose critical thinking, I should be thanked. After all, do I have to warn you about Pelosi? See? So your welcome.
