1. A huge PANDER to Blue Collars. I hope they are smart enough
to know that indirectly putting down the college educated
is the MOST destructive thing they do to our country.

All we hear is: to make our country competitive Education
is essential. Yet the Republican consistently poke fun
and put down people with education.
give me a break.

2. And They are 20% of our Population
Her husband works for NASA--my tax dollars pay his salary. They take in foster children--her fellow state neighbors' taxes pay for that. She doesn’t believe in Government! WTF is wrong with these people???

4. MAke it up?
Heck, you're talking about most of the people in this country! This lady seems pretty normal, to me. The fact that they do not have college degrees does not mean they vote republican. I have no college degree, have been extremely successful in life, and have never voted republican in my 56 yrs. I retired at age 46, and I suspect most would love to be in my shoes.

I'm just a small town country-ass boy that lives in republican hell, so I grew up with folks like these. Most of them can't tell you who the VP is or who there senators are because they don't do politics at all. They vote, but usually just fill in a straight ticket vote. I don't belittle them because they think they are doing it right even when they are voting against their own interests.

She considers herself smart because she has eked out a living and has avoided catastrophe......so far. Hopefully, they will hang on and have no problems.

So, I really don't see what message you are trying to convey.

6. I agree with you. She is a neat lady and a reflection of what most
Americans do, keeping their sense of independence. I don't really see that she is knocking our Constitutional government. Time will tell if she becomes more knowledgable about the roll of politics in our lives. Perhaps she will realize that the Sarah Palins in this country are not capable of true and equitable leadership. History tells us that good leadership is a rarity in this country and we must be wary of who we can put our faith in to do what is best for all of us.

7. She is patronizing to higher education
People like her make me want to scream. I hope her kids that are in the service use it to get a higher education. She congratulates herself on relying on God. That can be okay but I would hope she would want more for her kids than what she has. In this day the more education one gets the better chance they have at a good life. And by the way, didn't McCain go to West Point? Did he graduate?

8. Sorry, misread the title
Thought it said McCain and Palin didn't have a college degree. It said smart people vote for Palin. I guess I'm not so smart as I made a mistake. But she doesn't come off as being smart either, just condescending.

5. PHDs at NASA can't find their keys
because their minds are occupied with building rockets,
Complex mathematics, and quantum theory.

Your husband can find their keys because his mind is filled with
"Who Wants to be a Millionaire", Jeebus, and whats for dinner.

Palin mentality.

10. Her husbands mind is filled with, "Oh God kill me now, I've got to go home to that creature..."
Palin supporters are fucking loons.

9. Just stay outta college, kids, and you'll do alright!
My hats off to her. She's VERY lucky, if only to be that blissfully ignorant for so long.

11. Video from over 2 years ago, before Obama was elected... imagine..now
she's a Tea Party regular by now.

Anti-intellectual, Bible-thumping, God-fearing, smug, condescending, home-schooling stay-at-home bigot.

Funny how there were no comments on her video before a day or so ago.

Wonder why she had to give up the foster kids, and whether it had to do with her attitude displayed in that video.

All that government-paid salary her hubby collects reminding the scientists where they left their keys?
