Originally Posted By mele No, I think X is right here. Anyone who supports Palin has a "screw qualifications" mind-set.
Originally Posted By danyoung I don't really disagree with that statement, mele. But again, I wasn't really referring to the overall question of why anyone would support Palin in the first place.

They likes shiny objects and purty girls, and they don't likes it when their politicians are "elite" or "smart" or "qualified" or don't care about the reglar folks of 'Murca (that right there is what Sarah did by leavin them all in the ditch). And when Sarah doesn't satisfy, they'll turn around and "support" Glenn Beck, and when he doesn't satisfy, Joe the Plumber, and so on... Qualifications be damned.

Originally Posted By melekalikimaka Hm, you know when Chris Rock makes fun of people for "keepin' it real"? I think "Goin' Rogue" is the white person's "keepin' it real". Keeping it real dumb.

But this is why I laugh at the supposed "Real Americans" -- the same ones who were howling about Obama's supporters being startstruck and seeing him as "the Messiah" and so forth. And yet, here is evidence of them doing exactly that in regards to St. Joan of Alaska. And don't even get them started on His Holiness Ronny.

It's like Jay Leno's "Jay Walk" segment...only more depressing. I just can't believe people are this uninformed, yet standing in long lines to meet Palin...
Originally Posted By Dabob2 < I just can't believe people are this uninformed, yet standing in long lines to meet Palin...> Oh, I think their being uninformed is pretty much a REQUIREMENT for their standing in long lines to meet Palin.
