Why exactly do you think Palin is stupid?
Please show proof.
I guess I should have mentioned that I do not think Palin is stupid, I think she is very smart. I just wanted to see why so many people are saying she is stupid. And yes, I did see the Katie Couric interview, the question about which newspaper Palin reads was totally a stupid question in the first place. I have heard Palin speak many times and I have checked her record.

Palin seems to be uneducated and unsophisticated. Her speeches have an immature high quality and a negativity that stirs up the crazies. every time somebody stressful circumstances her she hotels to calumnies and claims genuinely everyone else is doing a bad activity. while issues have been given warm for her in Alaska and he or she became into dealing with expenses she end a million/2-way with the aid of her term as governor. genuinely everyone is familiar with she is only pulling a Trump through fact she isn't qualified for governor much less president of the USA. Palin looks to have a small following of characters so, in line with danger they can grant her the masses of thousands she would have the capacity to could desire to run for president yet I doubt it.

I don't think Sarah Palin is stupid. I DO think she is someone who cannot handle "on the spot" responses. That means she's not a good interviewee. The inability to be able to think on her feet, though, is a very big issue because, oftentimes, she will have debates with leaders of other countries and she needs to be able to handle herself in those situations. In my estimation, she is ill-prepared to take on the responsibilities of the US presidency. We must always remember that the VP is important because tragedies do happen and that person could very well be our next president. I admit I have not done very much indepth research on her because I considered her selection for running mate a political decision to attract women voters and not a choice based on her merits as a leader.
Sarah Palin is not ready for this. This is evidenced by the fact that the campaign will only allow her to be interviewed by more right-leaning journalists and media. The campaign is shielding her now, which is much like closing the barn door after the horse has escaped.
For her to be a truly formidable candidate, she needs more training, more mentoring and more help. That being said, we need to be prepared for 2012 because I get the feeling she's just warming up.

democrats are stupid wanting to raise taxes in an economic downturn. Proof? Obama has said he will >raise< payroll taxes, >raise< capital gains taxes (bright idea when the housing market is already at rock bottom), >raise< small business taxes, >raise< the death tax, >raise< corporate tax, (when they also are suffering). Raising taxes >never< helped start more business. I can hardly wait to hear you dems scream when you decided to tax businesses, and they have to cut jobs to afford the tax. And you think we're in a recession now.... Don't count us reformers out just yet. Just because Obama is ahead in the popularity contest, doesn't mean the game is over yet.
My question would be, what exactly makes democrats stupid?

Katie Courics interviews. The woman can't speak an intelligent sentence. She thinks foreign experience is having Russia near Alaska. She has a new accent like she's from Fargo. She didn't always speak that way.

I don't but I think you are! Palin cleaned Biden's clock in the VP debate. Biden looked stupid, giggle like a girl when Palin took it to his ****!! Obama had told Biden if you just say "Middle Class" more than Sarah Palin, you will win the election. He was wrong as he is most of the time. But Biden didn't think he was. NOW, that is stupidity!!

Just watch her interviews with Charles Gibson and Katie Couric -- Tina Fey actually did a skit where she quoted Palin verbatim and it was hilarious. Usually skits are exaggerations of the person. To not have to change one word shows you how ignorant Palin's response was.

Wait What Was The Question?

She truly seems to believe she has foreign policy experience because Alaska is near Russia. That's pretty bad.

she can't answer a single question about anything in detail. she is nothing more than an empty suit and a parrot that recites what others tell her. she doesn't know law, economics or history (foreign or domestic). so what exactly does she know? she admitted herself that she doesn't read I don't know one single person that is highly intelligent and in expert on anything that doesn't read. how exactly does one get information and challenge themselves mentally if they don't read?
