palin proves you can't fix stupid

[Danzig]

john mccain served, but he's no hero. his actions in the banking scandal back in the day got conveniently forgotten-but then, we do have bigger and better banking scandals to worry about.
if he wanted to go for a woman, he could have at least chosen one who was capable, and had more than just a pretty face. her lack of experience took away any realistic chance he had to call out obama for that same lack.
i don't care for mccain, i think he's gotten more respect for outlasting people than because he actually has done things to earn it. he's another that if you do more than scratch the surface, you won't like what you find. that rolling stone article a few years back was scathing, and factual.
but you're right, we all hope to age well. some day i plan to be an old bat who eats at the country kitchen buffet, and then hopefully makes it home in one piece.

Unfortunately for the libs, it's apparent that Palin would have done a better job than Obama. In fact, it's hard for anyone to do a worse job.

C'mon even I don't believe that....

Why? Obama has demonstrated that's he's an incompetent buffoon. Palin didn't get to demonstrate anything. She didn't do great on some TV interviews, but also wasn't asked softball questions like Obama.

So you have a known failure (Obama) vs. an unknown (Palin). Why would you be so quick to trash Palin?

It is a reasonable possibility that she would have been better. We'll never know.

it is? how is it apparent? what would she have done differently with everything that has occurred during his term plus one year?

when i consider everything palin has done over the time since she first hit the national scene, what is apparent to me is that mccain and his people didn't perform due diligence before selecting her, that she is a lightweight who thinks her lack of intelligence and knowledge is somehow a positive. she has no clue regarding national policy, foreign policy, the government, etc. her interviews are hilarious, but certainly not events that engender confidence in any of her abilities.

am i happy with obama? hell no. i think he was a naive neophyte who has been smacked down in a brutal way with reality. would i prefer palin? not in a million years. romney either. christie shows promise, but with his moderate stances, he'll have a hard time getting the nomination.
you blaming obama for everything you don't like is not based in rational thought. i suggest you take a long look at your legislative body, especially the house, which has done NOTHING of substance-hell, they can't even pass a goddamn farm bill, which has been standard legislation for years.

If it's hard to do a worse job than Obama, the converse is that it's easier for most people to do a better job.
