Why liberals hate Sarah Palin

Just like Obama defines the new Democrat party. Marxian Socialist.

You have amazing powers of projection. :woo hoo:

No, as a corporatist. Nothing Marxist or Socialist about him. Obviously you are utterly ignorant of the construct of these two schools of political thought, but when you consider your chosen representative your ignorance is not the least bit surprising. Nor is your virulence.

:rofl Residenttroll is virulent....

Does that mean he's green?

Infectious, as usual.

What dooms us is the current climate in which it is believed that we should spread the wealth around that results from the meritocracy of the private sector. The system was set up for meritocracy, and self government, from the bottom up as well as from the top down.

What was envisioned with the choosing of the president was not what we have today. At the outset we would have seen Obama, Clinton, Edwards, McCain, Huckabee, Paul and others all on the ballot. We wouldn't be having a party ticket that gave us a choice between Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin. We would all be casting a vote for whom we thought would make the best President and the one who came in second in that voting would be the sitting VP and president of the Senate. Yeah, the 1800 election kind of messed that up, but with the changes that have occurred since then that have the members of the EC restricted to voting en masse in most states based upon the results of the direct vote of the people in the states, we could easily do away with the 12th Amendment and go back to the original intent of having two equal votes cast for President by the EC with the President being declared as the one who secured the most votes so long as it was a majority of the votes available. That would be a true meritocracy choice and would open up the field such that either a political party chose a single candidate to run and allowed for a member of a different party to be VP or they allowed multiple members of their party to run in the hopes that the people would choose two of them to occupy the highest offices.

Tell me ckm8, without the 12th Amendment, do you think Obama would be sitting in the Oval Office today or do you think that Clinton would have beaten him had both of them been on the ballot and the people been allowed to choose between the two of them based upon the merit brought forth by both?

:pop

If Sarah Palin was just another woman like Geraldine Ferraro who ran for office and then just faded away, there would not be such hatred from the left. Unfortunately for the left, she has stirred up the waters and gotten people interested in politics who never were previously. Sarah Palin will not run for pres. imo, but will continue to push the smaller government message and WILL get more conservatives to the polls. That is why she is hated and feared by the left and I think it's hilarious.

Oh, I WANT the intellectual pygmy to win... She's the perfect representative of the empty-suit conservatives...
