I live in a country where the popularity of the President during the initial invasion of Iraq was in excess of 80% despite mountains of evidence easily available that the war was unnecesary. Where the vast majority of the populace stood by saluting the flag while our rights and our privileges guaranteed us for two centuries under the constitution were systematically eroded. Where even now, when the greed and avarice of seven years have left a whole country decimated and in economic despair, the citizenry sit idly while both parties do nothing to solve the greatest financial debacle of the last century.
And you think a chicken-fried nightmare like Palin and her family will matter to the empty-headed electorate here? Puleez........
