do you think we dodged a bullet with palin?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/05/palin-did...

apparently she didn't even know that africa was a continent, she asked if south africa was just part of the "country" africa! LOL

and people from her staff say that she threw tantrums and reduced her workers to tears, and we all know about the clothing incident, turns out she spent a lot of it on her whole family

i know the election is over, but all this dirty laundry is just coming out! i get shivers just thinking she could have eventually become VP and god forbid president!

Update:

hey BB:

it's "bejesus" not "BeGeezus"

are you sure you're not sarah palin?

anyways, democrats were never scared of her, just that people actually consider voting her in!

and we didn't spend millions trashing her, she spent $150,000 on wardrobe, that was enough to trash her on, she asked for it!

    Wow.

    It's bad when Fox is putting a Republican down!

    I'm so glad she will be able to return to obscurity. I hope that her state realizes her for the crook that she is.

    I can't wait to hear all the things she's done that are illegal, immoral, and/or incomprehensible.

    As far as her ignorance--my dear God! There should be an IQ test required for people to run for office!

    Good grief yes!

    God knows what was going through McCain's mind when he picked her, some misplaced belief that she appealed to women I guess, maybe the same women who he figured would be disappointed Hillary didn't get nominated by the Democrats.

    Hard to say for certain, what I can say is that it stopped me voting Republican instantly.

    In no way at all did she represent me in any way, she actively repulsed me.

    I've seen her quote that she hopes she didn't lose McCain a single vote....well she did, she lost mine all on her own.

    She's simply a small town politician..and not a very good one at that.

    Not at all even remotely qualified for the job she stood for.....one step from the Presidency.

    As you point out, her foreign knowledge is none existant.

    Imagine the laugh we'd have given the world with that as the image of America

    Well, Obama thought that there were 57 States in the U.S.

    Palin scared the BuGeezus out of the Democrats (that is the reason YOU are trashing her, as well). That is why they spent $Millions to trash her and her family. $Millions that could have gone to prevent poverty in Obama's own city of Chicago.

    Deal with the fact that had she been involved with the campaign a couple of months sooner, the outcome would have been much different.

    I think that you are somewhat right.... the Democrats were VERY fortunate to haved dodged the Palin bullet.

    Source(s): EDIT: $$Millions were spent to trash Palin. Heck... the Obama handlers sent a team of investigators up to Alaska to dig up dirt on her. Deal with it!!

    Yes, I think we definitely dodged a bullet with Sarah Palin.

    She lied sooooooooo easily--- like when she said that the first Troopergate panel cleared her of an ethics violation when it did NOT.

    And then she got the First Ammendment BACKWARDS! She said the First Ammendment was to protect HER against the press criticizing her... instead of freedom of the press to criticize its leaders....

    SHE WAS SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    (and stupid)

    To think she could even come close to being the V.P. gave me shivers too. She's so incompetent, ignorant, & a religious right-wing nut.

    Yes, we did!!

    I can't imagine her even being Mayor , much less Gov of Alaska!!

    She can go home now and stay right there in Alaska where she see's Russia from her house! That's her foreign affiars experience!!

    Obama! YES WE CAN!!

    The fact that she was even close to the VP is a sad reflection on the state of this country.

    I know what you mean, now that Obama is in maybe now the other 7 States can pay taxes like the other 50. Im just waiting for Obama to tell me what their names are......lol what a joke, the President thinks there are 57 States.
