I really enjoy hearing the thoughts of people from this forum because most people on this forum are well educated. That said, does anyone here support Sarah Palin. I recently wrote an e-mail to California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman asking if she supports Sarah Palin. I told her that she would be the first person from HBS and Bain (probably McK and BCG for that matter) that supports Sarah Palin.
My hope is that everything is done to prevent Palin from becoming president. I wasn't a Bush fan, but he at least attended Yale and Andover. Bush stumbled on some interviews but Palin's interviews just proved she was a moron.
Anyway - is there anyone here that works for any consulting firm / IBank that supports Palin ? I'd love to hear your thoughts on why and am trying to have an open mind. The reason behind this is that the only reason I am considering against Whitman is if she supports Palin.
Just because Bush got Cs at Yale shouldn't give him any credit. Also, Palin will never be President, not going to happen.
Some people do support her on this forum. I find it incredible.
I have to believe that people who like her, only do because they hate the people that hate her and want to drive the Palin haters insane. That said, how is it possible that the woman ran for VP could not name a single magazine she likes to read? Wow what hardball question. Her back track days later that well she read the New Yorker and the Economist is so unbelievable that it makes me questions her integrity. A smart reporter should have asked which columnist she likes in the Economist, I am sure comedy would ensue.
Of course I support Sarah Palin. And Grizzly Adams had a beard.
I support cumming all over her glasses after she blows me.
You read my mind.
unless you're a liberal, you can't question her beliefs. Like Bush, she's just not good at communicating them. Personally, i can't stand her delivery, like Limbaugh and Glen Beck, but her message is correct.
Look, I respect a well-informed conservative point of view, but I do not see how any of her beliefs or ideas are based in reality.
I'd be curious to hear someone defend the bullshit she spouts.
Here's an actual quote from Palin at the Boston Tea Party rally yesterday:
"It's drill baby drill, not stall baby stall - you betcha!"
It's like she had nothing to say so she just started spouting catch phrases. Give me a break.
Forget about bush for a moment - he went to YAle (YEa - C's at yale still means you went to YAle ...) -
but what do you believe about her - i mean, you're an IBanker - and you believe in #'s. What do you believe in about her - seriously - all kidding aside because I really want to know.
This is not about liberal or conservative - this is about saving our country from a retard. I really want to know why you think her message is correct.
Can't question her beliefs unless you don't agree with them? Interesting tautology.
Dude, even if you agree with her beliefs, you also need execution.
I'm a little ambivalent. This is a really interesting article about her though. It would be interesting to see all of your reactions to it. It's definitely worth the read.

Sorry but your article is basically saying Sarah Palin is not an idiot because Ronald Reagan was not an idiot and she resembles reagan.
That or Palin is not an idiot because her views are not idiotic.
This is not about her views at all. I'm sure her views are she's a staunch conservative. Great - It's that she's a moron.
CAMERON: Well, what do you read?
PALIN: I read the same things that other people across the country read, including the "New York Times" and the "Wall Street Journal" and the "Economist" and some of these publications that we've recently even been interviewed through up there in Alaska.
Because, of everything that we're doing with oil and gas, a lot of the investment publications especially are interviewing us, asking us how are being so successful up there in contributing to our nation's step towards energy independence.
CAMERON: Sure.
COURIC: And when it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this — to stay informed and to understand the world?
PALIN: I’ve read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media —
COURIC: But what ones specifically? I’m curious.
PALIN: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years.
COURIC: Can you name any of them?
PALIN: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news
(I was wrong about the New Yorker in the Cameron interview, it was the NYT)
A moron? At least she's someone the American people can relate to. ;-)
Anyone can repeat platitudes about cutting taxes and energy independence and growing the private sector. She just says the same generic shit again and again. "Cut taxes, common sense solutions."
There is zero nuance to anything she says.
I'll admit this I stole this from Savage, but I couldn't agree more when he calls her soundbite Sarah. I really lost all respect for her when she decided she was going to support John McCain in his reelection campaign (you remember him, he's the fake Republican who tried to throw the election, refused to even mention the name "Hussein," said it was "off limits"), while a true American, J.D. Hayworth, is running in the primary. Nobody's been a bigger supporter of the marshals on the Mexican border than Hayworth
And then she had the nerve to say that the Tea Party isn't a real "party" and they had to support "somebody." In other words, she's trying to hijack the best thing that's happened to American politics by rendering it impotent and bringing it under the wing of the Republican party, so that they might blindly support such wonderful examples of moral corruption like John McCain.
Not that I don't agree with a lot of her soundbites as shallow as they are, but she's such a fraud that she really represents a lot of the things that are wrong with American politics today. I'm sick of her, she's a scourge to the party.
