> [@Clothahump](#): > > Okay, exactly how is she scary? Because she has a set of values and tries to live by them? Because she’s open and outspoken? What exactly is it about Palin that terrifies libs so much? I’ve got an opinion as to what it is, but I’d like to hear it laid out in black and white. If you want an honest answer, it’s not her as an individual that’s scary. It’s the idea that she was, and might be again, put into a presidential race by one of the two major parties in this country. The idea that a large number of Americans – millions or tens of millions-- would consider an idiot like her to be worthy of the position of President, doesn’t bode well for our country. They are scarier than she is, IMO. ---

I’d like to hear your opinion. Do you think we’re all so terrified because she has a set of values and tries to live by them? Because she’s open and outspoken? What else could it _possibly_ be? ---

Politics is a strange profession. When they are out stumping ,they have thousands of their own people at every stop. Everybody they see loves them enthusiastically. They begin to believe it is nearly universal. They start to think it is just a few weirdos that are not fans. Palin got all wrapped up in it. She does not understand the die hard repubs are about 25 percent of the voters. I believe she thinks she is going to become president. She does not even seem to have respect or awe for the job. It should scare a normal person .A person with her qualifications should be terrified. But, she thinks, like the C Streeters, that god chose her. ---

I kind of doubt Sarah Palin will even run for President. ---

They probably think they can clean her up and educate her sufficiently in 3 years. Nah, she’s been snubbing fans at book signings. She’s acting like a straight celebrity. Holding the office of the Presidency sounds like too much work for Ms. Palin. I think she’s just playing and soaking up the money and adulation. ---
