"Sarah Palin with a brain," is..........who?

Even GOP activists are turning against Sarah Palin


At a recent gathering in South Carolina, the site of a crucial early presidential primary next year, party activists said the former Alaska governor didn't have the experience, the knowledge of issues or the ability to get beyond folksy slang and bumper-sticker generalities that they think is needed to win and govern.

Many are shopping for someone else. They're looking at Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., for example, and seeing what they call a smarter, more experienced candidate who's equally as conservative.

"Sarah Palin with a brain," said Gail Moore, a Republican from Columbia.

1. My dogs leave piles of shit in the yard that are more attractive and smarter than Palin.

3. Michele Bachmann is Palin with a brain??
Sorry, folks. Bachmann is every bit as brainless as Palin. Her grammar is slightly better and she has a law degree (from one of those fundy law schools), but she's just as pig-ignorant and batshit crazy as Palin. In fact, she might be worse. Palin is a grifter who just uses loony-tune politics as a means to acquire money and media attention. Bachmann actually believes that shit.

They're pointing to her as an example? She's more like Sarah Palin off her meds.

She must have been down the yellow brick road and seen the wizard.

8. Actually...
There is a new name and face to get to know, I think. Looks just like Blachmann, but nowhere near stupid enough to suit me. She's got all the big money connections too. The homework to counter her rise should be addressed before she slithers too high up their nasty ranks.

10. Lol. Michelle Bachmann is their idea of an intellectual?
Why didn't they just pick Christine O'Donnell?
