Agreed. Don’t get me wrong. That wasn’t meant as a defense for or in favor of her. My single issue with her is that she is simply just not smart enough. I can’t fathom how anyone can listen to her speak for more than a minute and not immediately come to that conclusion.
I can't fathom how anyone who professes to be a conservative is spending far more energy bashing Palin over using the term blood libel than they are counterattacking the MSM and the liberals here for trying to blame such for the Tucson shootings. We see what your priorities are.
My reaction has been not to question her intelligence, but her depth. To me she seems very shallow. Since she could very well wind up as the Republican nominee next year, I keep waiting for her to prove my impression wrong. So far, she hasn't, although my mind is definitely still open.
I’ve listened to her speak several times and she sounds like she’s smart enough to be President. The POTUS has hundreds of experts available for advice in the Executive Branch and doesn’t need to be a genuis. It’s more important to have good judgment and character and strong leadership ability. Carter and Clinton both had excellent grades in college and high IQ scores but they didn’t have good judgment and good leadership ability in many cases. Carter and Clinton would both have outscored Reagan on an IQ test, but Reagan was the better President because he had better judgment, character, and leadership ability. I think Sarah Palin has that same kind of sound judgment, solid character, courage, and leadership ability.
Dear God, we lift up another victim of severe PDS, please in Your infinite mercy heal them! Amen!
