Foreigners are fascinated with our politics. Why?

Quote from Kassz007:

Agreed. Kudos to her for making so much money with her book and public speaking appearences. In that respect, she is very smart. But in terms of running a country, or even a state, she has no clue.

She is not very smart at all. She is lucky that she was picked by McCain as his running mate. Had it not been for that, she would have remained obscure. (Sarah who?) But, as I noted earlier, simple people are drawn to sparkle. Not unlike fish. And what do you think the chances are she didn't use a ghost writer? She is a completely empty suit who was lucky enough to be placed on a wave by others. Lucky. And, as 777 just pointed out, unprincipled.

Looks like she has a lot in common with Obama.

Don't you have any more political lies to be dismissed by Snopes? Remember when it was practically a daily occurence?
 
Quote from Gabfly1:

And the GST was introduced by Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.

Which the current Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper has reduced by 2%, amid great pressure from Liberals to keep it at 7%.

But none of that matters because the tax hike we in Ontario will see from the Liberal HST will partly offset previous GST reductions.
 
Quote from OPTIONAL777:

So if one of the bimbos Tiger Woods did writes a book and makes money, that makes her very smart?

Something is very wrong with a value system that when a person quits their job in the middle of it, then leverages their fame to cash in and be opportunistic, taking advantage of the lower class and diminished capacity Americans, parading around her deformed baby, preaching abstinence while her own daughter gets knocked up...to line her own pockets, that she if is seen as anything less than a used car salesman type scamming for money...then the value system of this country is degraded beyond imagination...
More...

Yes! If that "bimbo" uses her situation to make a nice living for herself, she is SMART. In my opinion, Tiger's "bimbos" are stupid if they DON'T take advantage of their situation.

Values and ethics are a seperate matter.

Materiality. Your own post suggests that they're more alike than they are different.

She put herself in a position to be lucky. She is not intellectually brilliant by any means, but she sure knows how to make a buck. And for that, I applaud her.

Again, her values and ethics are a different subject entirely.
