Its chilling to think that a person who didn't know what countries are involved in NAFTA could have been one heartbeat away from the presidency.

Sarah Palin hasn't brought down the Republican party. She is just a symptom of a much larger set of problems. Extreme neocon doctrine, pandering to the far religious and ideological right, vocal disdain for intellect and education, a disastrous and unnecessary war, an incompetent president, trampling the constitution, an economic system that favored the upper classes, those are just some of their greatest hits.
McCain was not a far right-wing neocon by anyone's measure before he became the Republican candidate for president, yet he seemed to want the Presidency so bad that he let himself and his candidacy get taken over by the Bushies; he also seemed lost when it came to how to react to the economic crisis. McCain kept taking about winning the war in Iraq when most people just want to cut our losses and run.
Palin certainly had her part in making a lot of people question McCain's judgment and her qualifications for the VP job and ultimately the POTUS spot as well. But they put her there. Ultimately, it is the GOP, McCain and to a lesser degree his campaign staff who bear the responsibility for his loss. And certainly Obama was the right candidate, with the right message, who ran an almost (he had a few gaffes obviously, but nothing fatal) perfect campaign, he would have been hard for anyone to beat.

We need to make sure this Jason/Freddie/Michael Myers of politics NEVER jumps up from behind the couch again. Stick her on an iceberg and ship her off to... to.. an island. I know! Send her to Rhode Island. What's that? Not an actual island? Fucking geography....

So they want to get rid of one intellectually challenged dimwit with a penis and replace him in 2012 with an intellectually challenged dimwit with a vagina? They learned nothing.
I need a drink.
