Who Will Be the 2012 Republican Presidential Nominee? - Page 94 - Politics and Economics

Don't think global warming will be an issue in this election cycle. It's going to be much more about the economy.

Also, any serious attempt to fix global warming would wreck the economy so I don't think either party will be going down that road ever.

The alternative explanation that she has absolutely no clue whatsoever remains possible ldo.

All you need to know about this story is "One if by land, and two if by sea". Thinking that Palin is engaging in deeper scholarship than that is the least plausible explanation.

Palin clearly had no idea what the **** she was talking about and made it look worse by trying to wing it. God, I hope little mixups like this don't keep her from running, as I'd really like to see Tina Fey back on SNL.

Here’s what Paul revere did, he warned the Americans that the British were coming, the British were coming, and they were going to try to take our arms away and we gotta make sure that we were protecting ourselves and shoring up all our ammunitions and our firearms so that they couldn’t take them, but remember that the British had already been there

If obama had lost and mc Cain had died (lol he's old) she'd be the president.

We don't want stupid people to become president.

I heard about a guy who said the USA had 57 states. How stupid. We wouldn't want that guy to ever be president.

Some people are really bad at trying to draw equivalences.

huntsman rejected an invitation to the upcoming CNN debate, so he will probably never fully enter.

Those people are idiots and should not be elected to important positions. When us fancy egghead libruls make fun of your various homespun heroes' verbal diarrhea we're not just laughing at how there weren't warning shots because it was a secret midnight ride, we're also just laughing more generally at her inability to form and express relatively simple concepts.

lol come on, i'm not a sarah palin fan at all, i probably dislike her more than you, calling her one of my heroes is ridic.

i'm also pretty sure you just thought she was wrong about the arms confiscation issue which motivated the start of the war. you probably spent the last day trying to research it.

hahaha

Was the arms confiscation stuff in the initial clip, or just in her second attempt? Bells and warning shots are the only details I remember from the original video...

I'm sure with a few hours of quiet her team can put together a coherent statement for her to release. It's her ability to ad lib responses to questions normally asked of elementary school students that's in doubt.

she didn't even have time to see if anything about paul revere was written on her hand, so lay off her. lamestream gotcha journalismedia

everyone flubs from time to time, sure, but it's funnier and more mock-worthy when an actual fool does it, and the "all of them" answer and having "tax cuts" written on her hand undeniably makes her a verified fool

She actually did label it a "gotcha" question, which is kinda weird because it wasn't an interview and she didn't need to say anything.

Palin is a genius.

Everytime she is mentioned in the lamestream media she makes a few bucks. She knows that the only way she's getting any attention is by saying stupid stuff. We're going to see her say more stupid stuff during this fake run, but not because she's dumb.
