“Well if true she didn’t know Africa is a continent- what is the problem?”
The problem is that we would no want such as stupid and ignorant person as President! Too many Freepers treat any expectation of intelligence and knowledgability in Presidential candidates as a sign of “elitism”. It’s as if they want to live down to an epithet thrown at the Republican Party — the “stupid party”.
I can assure you that Governor Palin is quite intelligent. having seen her in person many times, her speeches were different daily, very non-rehearsed, and quite compelling. In this soundbite media we live in, anyone can be edited or spun to appear in any light meeting the objectives of the editor. I'm a college educated business owner. I know intelligence when I hear it.
Oh, now this sounds so intelligent: “The problem is that we would no want such as stupid and ignorant person...”
hmmmm
I guess I needed a sarcasm tag- though I didn’t think I did. I don’t for one minute believe the trash being spread about her now. We are talking about the media using unnamed sources for pete’s sake. The media often lies and even more often exaggerates and takes things out of context when it suits them. Many people have an agenda to get rid of Palin, in both parties and we should know by now what the media thinks of her. She is an outsider and they don’t want her to ever come back to their playground. That’s just how I see it.
