Why is Palin seen as being so conservative (relative to other GOP hopefuls)?

[Keystone Phil]

The problem isn't that she is too conservative but that she is too stupid.

Wow. You think she's stupid? Really?

So many of you are at the point where I think you only say this to make yourself feel better about your own intelligence. Try to switch it up a bit. This thread isn't about her intelligence so you don't have to jump into "...she's stupid!"

How do you call somebody who thinks that Africa is a country?

I have this very intelligent friend that once did the same thing, not to mention plenty of others. It's eye roll worthy but not a sign that someone is stupid.

Your friend made a mistake. With her there is a pattern of stupidity.

And many of my very intelligent friends (including the one I mentioned) have a history of making stupid comments. One classic was "....Muslims compared to regular people." Stupid, px? Keep in mind that the person in question graduated in the top ten of my high school class (of over 600 people) and attended an Ivy League university.

Your friend isn't running for President.

That wasn't my question. Is the person in question stupid, px?

[Keystone Phil]

That wasn't my question. Is the person in question stupid, px?

No. Just bigoted.

Ha! The self proclaimed socialist is bigoted. Yeah.

If you knew the person, you wouldn't think the person was bigoted. Just says very stupid things, not thinking before speaking.

Who said that socialists can't be bigots?

I figured with all of your leftist hack talking points that you wouldn't ever entertain such an idea. But no, the person in question really isn't bigoted. They just seriously don't think before they speak.

So Palin isn't necessarily stupid. Thanks.

The problem is Palin has a long string of repeated gaffes. And let's not forget the Couric interview.

Again, I know people that are exactly the same way.

O'Donnell is a certified joke candidate and Angle is just out there. I think Palin is far too often unfairly beat up on. I wouldn't say that I really like her but when someone is treated in a way that I see as unfair, I'm going to defend them. I probably wouldn't care to say anything about her if it wasn't for the vitriolic hatred and obsession from the Left.

So Palin isn't necessarily stupid. Thanks.

You mean she pretends to be stupid in order to pander the Iowa and South Carolina rubes that vote in the Republican primaries? ("I'm one of you, not like all the other Wall Street/Chamber of Commerce guys running").
 

Ah, I see, it's only intelligent when the Left says that they aren't with Wall Street/the Chamber of Commerce. Got it.

moderates and independents aren't exactly enamored of her...

"Enamored of her."

Now imagine if Sarah had said this...

Mitt Romney's opinions are determined by the latest opinion polling and focus grouping in whichever region he is currently campaigning in.

He went from being a liberal Independent (during "Reagan-Bush") to a liberal Republican in 1994 to a moderate Republican in 2002 to a Reagan, super conservative hero from 2006 (or was it around 2004 when he gave up on re-election and decided to run for President?) up until the present. Seems like a very natural progression to me.
