Just struck me the other day that you could draw a lot of parallels between Palin and Dubya. Now I know that lots of folks will take a humorous angle to this BUT, there are a lot of similarities....don't U think?
As P, P and M put it eloquently..."When will they ever learn"? Why do they keep bringing us the same type of "leaders"?
Ok, so is it just me or are there others who think that there are a lot of similarities between Dubya and Palin. Please feel free to add to this list. I'm sure that there will be tons of humorous stuff but give it some serious thought too:
-Totally uninspiring academic record.
-No interest in reading( history, current events, ANYTHING).
-No intellectual curiosity.
-No ability for critical thinking.
-Inability to articulate complete thoughts.
-Reactive right wing response to almost ALL issues.
-Constantly catering to and feeding fear to influence public opinion.
-No knowledge of foreign affairs, foreign leaders etc. etc.
-"Handled" and strongly influenced by sycophants and spinmeisters.
-Vindictive reaction to those that opposed them.
-The "wink"
Is it that the Republicans have pretty much ceded the party to these types of leaders? Is this all we can expect from them? I do believe that a strong, vibrant intellectual confrontation of ideas is critical for any democracy but I do think that we as a nation are being short changed by the Republicans if this is all they bring to the table?
