Yes, that's why the latte-swilling masses dislike you.

Hewitt asked Palin her reaction to the “extreme hostility” that she has faced from liberals.

“Oh, I think they’re just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying you know what? It’s time that a normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency, and I think that that’s kind of taken some people off guard, and they’re out of sorts, and they’re ticked off about it,” she said.

You're right, Governor Palin. We don't know what it's like to have Joe Six-Pack as the VP. We just know what it was like to have him as the actual president for the past eight years.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't WANT Normal Joe Six-pack running the country. I want someone who is CAPABLE and BETTER AT IT THAN ME doing it.

Dear Sarah Palin,
EARTHLOGIC: UR DOIN IT RONG.

I..... what... *keysmashes*

It's not elitism, you f'ing morons, it's WANTING TO ELECT SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING. As she's making it oh so clear she doesn't.

I am so sick of this "Democrats don't care about real people" bullshit. I turned off the debate because the blatant lies about the democratic tax plans got to be too annoying.

I also still don't understand why we should want our leaders to be on out level or worse. What was that line from the Bartlet-Obama dialogue? "American exceptionalism doesn't extend to Americans being exceptional"?

I think she doesn't do Joe Sixpack credit with that comparison. I bet plenty of Joe Sixpacks can name more than one Supreme Court case, or, when asked what periodicals they read, have a better answer than "all of them." Especially when Joe Sixpack wants to run the country. Cripes.

What's even more mind-numbing is that if anyone in this campaign has a humble background, it's Obama. But of course, the unspoken subtext is that he can't represent "normal" America because...well, you know why.

President AND Vice President. Cheney counts too in my book.

Sometimes, in my nasty little conspiracy theory lovin' mind, I think that Sarah Palin is the Republican party's way of making women who have the AUDACITY to run for a "man's job" look foolish. Seriously, how can anyone think this woman is qualified to be president? How? She can barely get through an interview with KATIE COURIC and she's not a bastion of hard-hitting journalism by any stretch of the imagination.

I fear that Sarah Palin will set women back by thirty years. She's so ridiculously uninformed and she waves her "hockey mom" flag so much that I wouldn't be surprised if after this election, whether the Republicans win or not (which they won't unless they cheat and I think they know that, but that is an entire other set of crunchy conspiracy theory goodness) Sarah Palin is going to be held up as the example of WHY a woman shouldn't be president. She perpetuates every stereotype about women. That we can't be as intellectual as men, that we are dishonest, that we fall apart under "real" pressure.

As much as I support the Obama/Biden ticket, there is a part of me that wishes that he had chosen Hilary Clinton as his VP because she would wipe the floor with Sarah Palin and, hopefully, make the country understand that Sarah Palin doesn't fail because she is a WOMAN, she fails because she is a MORON.

When she's not giving a beauty queen answer, i.e., saying nothing in as many words as possible, she's being condescending and stupid.

I'm sick of hearing how Republicans represent the ordinary working man more than democrats. McCain has how many houses and cars. Obama is far closer to the working man than him. And Palin being a moron is not good compensation.
