Is This The Greatest Orator in America Today?

It makes you wonder why people stand their political ground based upon emotions; and yet consider themselves intelligent. I agree the concept of those who follow Palin, can be equated to moths who attracted to the flame of the fire. Hypnotic to the point of death, so are her supporters who now support issues and policies that will render their own retirement; unproductive and worthless. I don't understand why majority of the demographic of the Tea Party are the elderly; who support Teapublican ideology that will take away their very own medicare; and social security protection; all in the name of privatization; with no benefits to them at all.
