MCWAY,
I consider Sarah Palin to be dumber than shit because she is a literalist Christian... she bases her life on the mistranslations of an overly edited book of superstitions.
And for the record Jimmy Carter is far from the worst president the US has ever had... he had his failings, but any impartial observer would agree that had the hostages been returned before the election in '80 he would have won a second term (Carter negotiated the release of the American hostages, but Reagan's people offered the kidnappers extra incentives if they would hold off releasing them till AFTER the election... that's right, Reagan paid terrorists to KEEP American citizens hostage).
An impartial observer would also agree that America was better off under Carter than Reagan DESPITE Americans FEELING Reagan was the better president.
Reagan allowed vested interests the opportunity to dismantle unions and the middle class, thereby effectively opening the treasury doors to any and all corporations. Something that has become flagrantly blatant during the Bush administration.
This is all FACT.
Since his term in office, Carter has demonstrated the quality of his character through his tireless work with charities such as Habitat for Humanity... Bush is a longtime loser/drunk/coke-head and sometime oil company shill AND THE WORST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY!
Professor Jared Diamond has said so.
Madeleine Albright has said so.
Noam Chomsky has said so.
...I'm living in the mountains of Ireland, how do I have a better understanding of American politics than some of the Americans on this site?
McWay, you would do better to explain to those reading that you yourself are also a (dumber-than-shit) literalist Christian Creationist fundamentalist (thousands of posts on the Religious Debates board attest to this) because you haven't presented any other good reason why you support the choice of Sarah Palin as VP.
