More than anything else, that poll, if correct, gives us once again a loud warning about the danger of the Republican mindset. First they gave us Duhmbya -- and now they want this ignorant idiot woman to run the country??? Skeptical observers have wondered how Palin would handle being president if some ethics complaints are enough to make her unable to run a state. Palin's answer: if she was president, the Department of Law would protect her.
Palin said there is a difference between the White House and what she has experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House the "department of law" would protect her from baseless ethical allegations."I think on a national level your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out," she said.
And there you have it: the Republicans' next choice for president. A woman who couldn't name a newspaper she reads -- who quit her job as governor right in the middle of her term because she couldn't take the heat of politics (but who loves to dish it out herself) -- who thinks there is a "department of law" in the White House -- and who thinks because she could see Russia from her house that she would be a great president. You betcha'! Wink, wink. I hope Tina Fey is getting ready for a second round...
The Republican party is a very bad joke to most thinking Americans. And it is diminishing in numbers daily, as the horrified intelligent people left in the party begin to bolt through the exit doors. But it's sad to consider there are still so many who actually seem to think they are in the same Republican party of long-ago yesteryear -- and who haven't noticed (or worse, don't care) it's been taken over by nutcase neocons, white supremacists, and fundamentalist fanatics. It is the party of "hate-everything-that-is-different-than-us" and "NEVER ALLOW CHANGE OF ANY KIND." Then there are those who agree with Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber about the way the country should be run. One would hope the overall national consciousness will rise as these poor deluded people begin to die out and a smarter, more broadminded generation of Republicans takes their place. (That is, if the party hasn't completely disappeared by then, which appears to be happening through the craziness that has overtaken it.)
