She's stupid because she's stupid.
If she is stupid, how did she beat two seasoned governors to become governor? I mean she debated them 3 different times on the issues like budgets, fiscal reforms, oil and gas energy and a huge seafood industry and other things. I mean really, if she was that stupid as you say, how was she able to do that?
Palin is always interesting to me. I lived in Alaska for a while. Not during her term, but during Tony Knowles. I was too young to care about politics then anyway though. My family loves Palin, but I can't stand her. All the stuff she's said and done since the announcement of her being "vee-pee", which she knew almost nothing about by the way... I just can't believe that she's very smart.
Yeah, she won the Alaska Governor race, beating Tony Knowles, but she had a lot of help. I don't know the level of help she had from the republicans who wanted change in Alaska, and I don't really care. The fact that she won the position of Governor isn't an automatic assurance of intelligence or quality of character. There have been some dumb ******* politicians in our history elected to all sorts of positions. If left to themselves, they'd probably flounder like they idiots they are. But with the right election team coaching them, even the dimmest or snakiest motherfuckers can pull the rabbit out of the hat.
My question to you is... why didn't she stay Governor? Most Governors don't quit at the half way mark. She abandoned the people of Alaska. If I still lived in Alaska during her term, I would have felt abandoned.
I never claimed she was stupid in all aspects of life, on every subject or topic. But she's shown that she is remarkably uninformed and ignorant on a great many issues, even after being heavily coached time and time again.
There is one thing I'll credit her with. It's that she knows how to earn money from people who would love to **** her brains out. Though I don't know if she should earn that credit or if it's all the dumb motherfuckers who keep donating her money while she keeps disappointing them along the way.
