I don't really like to talk politics, seems to me like walking from dead-end to dead-end and I admit that US politics are foreign to me.
It is however people like this Sarah Palin that make the rest of the world look at americans as ignorant, prejudiced and bullying people.
It is unfortunate since I know many americans are not like that but as long as you allow people like her to be the face that the rest of the planet sees as your representatives, I'm sorry to say our opinion of you will probably not improve.
