Why do people claim Sarah Palin was dumb?

After all, she is smart enough to know the "facts" behind that whole "evolution" conspiracy.

"

Soon after Sarah Palin was elected mayor of the foothill town of Wasilla, Alaska, she startled a local music teacher by insisting in casual conversation that men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth created 6,000 years ago -- about 65 million years after scientists say most dinosaurs became extinct -- the teacher said. "

And yes, I AM a Christian, just not that kind.

    Palin obviously knows nothing about evolution.

    1?

    Humanity and dinosaurs didn't *exist* as one.

    Mankind didn't pop up until 2 million years ago.

    Dinosaurs ruled the planet for much of the past 500 million years--and then went extinct 65 million years ago after an asteroid strike.

    2?

    Earth wasn't created 6,000 years ago.

    3?

    The religious right hijacked the Republican Party--not the Democrats.

    And they still have their meat hooks in the party still.

    Palin was not ready to be President and had little grasp of the issues.

    Her being chosen as Vice President was an attempt to garner support from Conservatives and Women (both of which it did, though it alienated many moderates).

    She was just a tad too far on the Right for most.

    Easy to tell who didn't see her interviews with Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric. Palin would be amazed at what they teach in high school govt classes.

    At every turn she seeks to hide her true beliefs, she's at least that politically savvy. Plenty of time to share her true feelings once she was a heartbeat away from the nuclear codes.

    I don't take rumors and second hand stories as facts. Especially when they come from self-admitted leftists, unsupported by any other witnesses.

    That's the problem with people like you - you accept any ludicrous and questionable claim about political opponents without question, without any concern whether they are true or not. Not a very Christian attitude for a self-righteous moralizing scold like yourself.

    I really don't see the relevancy of someone's religious beliefs, their politics, and their intelligence level. You only consider her dumb because you don't believe what she does (I don't believe it either).

    How about this: when evaluating politicians, let's look at their political beliefs, not their personal ones. Or is that not fun?

    I love how, in the debate with Joe Biden, she looked into the camera and said, 'I'm not going to answer your questions, but I'll tell you this......' cause she obviously COULDN'T answer the questions. What's even more frightining are the conservatives of the USA who found her to be a "refreshing" face in politics.

    Wow! That article seems very very credible. Didn't even give the teachers name. Completely made up crap.

    The real joke is that Democrats still can't shut up about her. During the campaign they kept comparing Obama to her instead of his direct opponent John McCain. That's a dead give away.

    It's because they knew and still know that Obama is the most inexperienced man ever to be president.

    The religious right has not hijacked the Republican party. The real hijack has been the extreme radical left hijacking the Democrat party. Which of course is why they elected a Marxist.

    Read Obama's book and then read about Saul Alinsky's "Rules for radicals". Most libs will never and they'll just keep jumping up and down, clapping like seals when they see their leader.
