Same reason they believe in "the invisible man who lives in the sky." It's easier to avoid responsibility and go with "faith" instead of critical thinking. Especially when you have your leaders telling you all your problems are someone else's fault (the evil liberals).
If Palin looked like Susan Boyle, none of you would have ever heard of her. She wasn't picked for her brains, or her political savvy. She was picked because she's "folksy." Just like George W., and a little easier on the eyes. She appeals to W's base who want to vote "for a guy who's just like me!"
Dumb? You betcha. The fact she's capitalized on her fame (or at least her handlers have) doesn't change the fact she's about as stupid as they come. Lots of talentless dummies are rich. Check out the music industry as a start.
Palin is as much a manufactured product as Ashlee Simpson. And about as bright.
