    Politicians are selling 'stuff' just like anyone else. They are selling their perceived image. If Palin would write further up her arm she may come across as being more intelligent than she already is perceived.

    If any of us think that any of these people are speaking their mind this post should look at the other side of the equation.

    edit: Well, maybe Palin is and see what it's getting her.

    The only candidates that make it to the top are the ones already hand picked and then paraded in front of you.

    We are! If all it takes is to be a bit dense and read someone else's material with out messing it up to get an extremely high power role and a boat load of money - why the hell aren't we all doing it!

    (long rant)

    It should be clear that the citizens of America (and the world for
    that matter) are being played off each other.

    We're being played. Used by the wealthy and powerful, tricked into
    fighting over false grievances while the elites literally get away with
    murder.

    Take a glance at TV any time, and you'll see ludicrous BS like "Hannity"
    and "Colmes." I put the names in quotes because they aren't real people;
    they are characters. Each is a bumbling caricature of what the opposite
    political party is supposed to look like. Republicans are supposed to
    hate the Colmes character, and Democrats are supposed to hate the
    Hannity character. In reality, neither character says anything
    reasonable nor worthwhile -- they are purely scripted to trigger the
    hate-phrases of their respective goading target.

    This is just a single example, but when you start to look around you,
    you notice that almost everything in high-level politics works this way.
    There are a few exceptions among politicians, but they rarely get
    elected because they don't play along. Without accepting bribes from
    wealthy donors, a politician can't afford the ad spots needed to gain
    popular recognition. Likewise, there are a few exceptions in mainstream
    media, but they don't last long if they disrupt the flow of advertising
    money or if they offend their wealthy owners.

    Why are we being played?

    When we think that our enemies are our neighbors, we will not stand up
    to the mega-corporations fleecing us, and their sycophants in Congress
    who pass laws to help them steal our money (in return for a small
    portion of it themselves). We'll quibble among ourselves while they get
    away with whatever they like. No, the wealthy and powerful aren't
    concertedly working together against us -- but they're much closer to
    each other than they are to the teeming masses far below them. They all
    benefit when we are their slave labor.

    We end up supporting the court jester who appears to most closely
    support our views. In truth, the jesters are all just playing their
    parts, and they'll all get paid well at the end of the night. We, the
    paying audience, don't seem to realize it's just a show.

    (/long rant)

    So to answer your question about who is more stupider... the public, for buying into that crap.

    You'd think that the Commander in Chief would be able to pronounce "corpsman", or that somebody might have corrected him during a rehearsal. :/

    After the previous 8 years of spectacular oration I doubt anyone even thinks Americans can speak correctly.

    Mark, didn't you know: on her hand is the complete and exhaustive text that represents Palin's knowledge about the world beyond US borders
    Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

    I'm not sure Palin has enough room in her brain for a full 40-minute speech.

    Do I think she's stupid for utilizing her Hillbilly Palm Pilot? Nope. (mucky, maybe; amateurish, even, but not stupid). What I do find stupid is her making a dig at Obama's reliance on teleprompters and then getting caught using her hand like a schoolgirl.

    I mean seriously, if you're going to play a little one-upmanship with your nemesis, try not to get caught at doing the same thing you're ridiculing. Duh.
