A fitting analogy:

Would you rather be torn apart by hyenas or mauled to death by a grizzly?

Fortunately for America, we have other, more suitable options for leadership.

Just think how may Republican voters would gladly support a Perry/Palin or Palin/Perry presidential ticket. Who are the real idiots?

Talking Who's smarter between Rick Perry and Sarah Palin?

My neighbor's parakeet has a higher IQ than those two combined.

I will offer an honest assessment.

Sarah Palin is the smarter one, evidenced by her leverage on the Tea Party and saying what they want to hear. Doesn't mean that she have the makings to be an effective leader. She's smarter in that she knows pretty good marketing in the entertainment area.

Rick Perry may have appeared dumb due to the errors in recent debates, but he seems to be more rooted in reality than wingnuts like Sarah Palin who is often rhetorical. I mean, this is the guy who took the heat, and then some more when he firmly believed in providing education to illegal immigrants in his state of Texas.

Anyone should watch these two videos and tell me you'd pick Sarah Palin over Rick Perry.

again, what is the point of this type of poll, if you want to call it that? It is just another opportunity to bash away..
