What about Obama answering McCain's wearing of a bracelet by mentioning his? He stuttered around and couldn't even remember who had given him the bracelet and what it stood for.
(He finally remembered after much stammering)

Every candidate is going to stutter, stammer, gaffe, and spew nonsense now and then.
Palin did it the entire enterview.
I challenged you earlier to find one coherent answer--just one--in that interview that shows she has some vague clue what she is talking about. I still haven't seen one.
Karl--I'd take Stockdale over her. At least as an admiral, I'm sure he knew a lot about defense and security.

stu·pid
1. lacking ordinary quickness and keenness of mind; dull.
2. tediously dull, esp. due to lack of meaning or sense; inane; pointless
3. annoying or irritating; troublesome
Stupidity is not low intelligence. Sarah and Lois both demonstrate you can be intelligent yet still demonstrate all of the defintions above at times.
Jody and Lois both demonstrate you can have absolute, unflinching beliefs and try to convince others of them, but be completely wrong and unable to see it.
Sorry, I don't want to put you guys down, you seem like good people, just misguided.

"Karl, "Who am I, and why am I here?"
You are the Soul shining in the image of the divine and you are here to learn through experience but are shackled by hanging on to false beliefs about your identity.
Either that or you are are the Jodster who returned from repeated self-imposed exile, Either because
1. You're addicted and can't kick the habit.
2. You got drummed off some other forum and something lured you back here.

3. You've come to be a beacon of truth and reason to the benighted liberals of ST (or to torment us somehow)

Peace

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose hand
was caught in a gate while working cattle, a doctor struck up a conversation
with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid
to be a heartbeat away from being President.
The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle."
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle
was.
The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come
across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."
The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he explained.
"You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up there,
she doesn't know what to do while she is up there, and you just wonder what
kind of dumb ass put her up there to begin with."

Bingo!
Karl, you missed what I was trying to say. Remember Stockdale's opening statements in the VP debate? "Who am I and why am I here?"...all of us were wondering the same thing.

Warbler,
If Palin was trying to lower expectations intentionally--which I doubt-- she way overdid it. People already had low expectations of her anyway.

Dirtbag, that may be true, but she is HOT and that cancels out any negatives.
Lois, you give me far too much credit, but thanks anyway. :) These guys are too easy here.

I bet Palin knows how many states there are, unlike Obama.
When Obama mentioned "57 states", he was probably referring to the 57 member states of the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
Do you believe this?

"What about Obama answering McCain's wearing of a bracelet by mentioning his? He stuttered around and couldn't even remember who had given him the bracelet and what it stood for. "
Hahaha...that's certainly your very biased view of it. I think the real reason is that he hasn't been bending over backwards to mention his bracelet at every campaign stop for the last 6 months.
"If she were running with Obama, you guys would be tripping over yourselves, foaming at the mouth to "do" her. If Palin were a liberal and the Dem VP, you would think she was plenty "hot." "
We are already calling her "hot." We are calling her stupid and unqualified, and you better believe that if Obama had chosen someone like her we'd be up in arms.
The reality though is that it was never an option, because dems would never stomach someone so vapid. Conservatives score points on "liberal elites" because we value things like intelligence, knowledge and articulation. We don't WANT someone who is "just like us." We want someone who is smarter, more articulate and more informed than we are. For these reasons even having a hypothetical about Palin being a liberal is laughable.

scuffy, absolutely! If he becomes President he will do everything in his power to turn the U.S. into the 58th. That is his agenda.

I'd do the Bush twins, but Palin (like Hilary) is a boner shrinker.

LEB jesus. Why do I even bother having opinions or principles by which I live when you just give them to me. Every time you post it's just more evidence that you don't even think about what you're saying. It's not that surprising you think Palin should be top dog.
Did you actually learn information in nursing school or did you just sit at home and decide how it all worked with your gut and have insisted that's the way it is every since?

Since we've already defined "stupid", I'd say that answer goes far beyond that. I think the word "ignorant" or "racist" might apply to that comment.
