Is Sarah Palin Just An Entertainer?

Well she's more of a celebrity then a politician although I'll be loathe to call her entertaining. To the fact, I can't believe that Sarah Palin is still someone who is somewhat well known. McCain did her the biggest favor in the world, as no one outside of Alaska would have known about her or even spared a minute of thought towards her. And the fact that she's being named as a potential presidential candidate in 2012 and not in a serious, ironic way. The American public really does baffle me sometimes but then again, I should not be all that surprised at anything that really happens. I think this may be one of the most blatant cases of someone getting way too much attention for really not being all that relevant at all.

Politicians are all a mix of entertainer and attorney. By nature they seek to win the popularity contest through lies and debate skills. I think Sarah Palin is less a politician and more an average American, and that is why she gets so much attention. She is against the grain of typical politics. In regards to the two party system, It is narrow minded and old fashioned. People today are far more diverse and less likely to conform to the current system. We the people have changed, but politics have not.

Yeah, she is just an entertainer. It's all for show. She doesn't demonstrate any true leadership skills, and she can't seem to get her facts straight on many issues. To me, she's a joke.

hi elmiko yes I do think that too as she does not seem to have any outstanding leadership qualites and she does not seem to me to be overly bright. I would not want her in any political office here in our US.She really is just a poser and not a good candidate at all. I would never vote for her as she seems pretty much a dunderhead meaning she is not all that intelligent.

She's a character, that much is certain. She's a prime example of why I kinda feel guilty about keeping up with politics nowadays. I can't stand most politicians because all of them pander to certain groups, and you never get a clear feeling on what they really think about any subject. Such phoniness should not be encouraged in any field, but it is here. I don't like the two party system because it sets up a sports fan type of environment. Instead of paying attention to what a candidate is running on, and their history, people are just rooting for either a color( red or blue) or and throwing insults at the other party no matter what kinda ideas or problems they are trying to solve. There are a ton of grown men and women in every state who should be ashamed of themselves. They aren't taking this stuff seriously, and are choosing to be ignorant/bias drones for whatever reason. (Maybe my line of rational thought on this issue makes me come off as being a "liberal" in the eyes of those who fit the description. Which I think translates to "don't rock the boat, Mr. High and Mighty sane person." or something). Even with that, I enjoy the silly and random comments that come from people like a Sarah Palin. Her feud with Katie Couric was hilarious. I almost feel bad because I don't think she understands how much of a joke a lot of people view her as. If she was an independent, she current fans wouldn't pay her any mind. it's one thing to be outspoken. Most people are timid, and don't want to be singled out if someone disagrees with them. It's another thing to have an opinion, little to no knowledge on the subject, and the delusion of thinking that anyone who tries to correct you is being unfair. Sometimes I think we as human beings are going the wrong way when it comes to common sense, self respect and intellect.
