I don't disagree with any of this. But my point was, not that long ago she would have been laughed off the stage, ignored on any ballot and wouldn't have been taken seriously enough to have won the nomination anywhere. And this is the direction in which we are headed. It no longer matters whether you understand the issues--in fact, you can be completely ignorant on all of them. What matters now is whether a moron can identify with you enough to pray with you. And that's the Bush-->Palin legacy. How far will this go? Will that jackass in Alaska win the Senate while refusing to answer one question and handcuffing reporters who try to get him to answer questions?

Please... Is there any serious person who doubts the average IQ of an 18-25 Obama voter isn't within 5 points of the average Bush/Palin voter? There were many smart Obama voters, but just as many deluded, DailyKos-shucking, naive, goofy kids in that pool. The guy's only president because he managed to congeal followers via social media. Read any brilliant shit on Facebook lately?
The Tea Party attracts dumb regressive garbage. The Left wing of the Democratic party attracts dumb progressive garbage. Pick one, pick the other... who cares? The distinctness of equivalent stupidities is like categorizing shit based on whether it sinks or floats. Either way, the ultimate destination is the sewer.
