Palin isn't the best public speaker, and I don't think it's a big deal that she wrote some random shit on her hand. What is embarrassing is in the same speech she hounded Obama for being a charismatic guy with a teleprompter. I guess it's more patriotic and old school to write shit on your hand like 5th grader. |
I find the name somewhat embarrassing.
Since when did anyone care about hypocrisy in politics? Its sad to say not very many do. Palin has showed, time and time again, that she is not ready for a higher seat in office. Her interviews always turn into a train wreak. She never answers questions, but rather floats around the idea. I have never seen her answer an interview question clearly besides topics about abortion and not giving people a choice.
Am I being to irate about this? Should I really be this angry about what the people shooting for office are doing and saying?

When it comes to 2012, there are about 3 or 4 Republican's who have been rumored to run and I could see myself supporting all of them. There isn't a democrat in sight that I would want to be associated with, it's too fucking embarrassing.

Exactly, I don't care if she writes things on her hand, but when you mock someone for teleprompter you look like a hypocrite.

Maybe because the teleprompter broke(according to her) while she was accepting the VP nomination. She said this in her book. I don't really care for her that much but her book was an interesting listen.
I agree that her interviews are pretty poor though.

Yeah, that changed hundreds of years ago. This is AMERICA, and we have freedom of speech here. It has ALWAYS made people patriots to question the government.
Also, I get pissed every time someone calls the protestors "tea baggers" or says they are "tea bagging". While the connection is more obvious in this case since they're calling them tea parties (Which I find disrespectful, but not as infuriating), the people calling them tea baggers would throw a fucking fit if they were somehow able to label members of, say, the million man march as "butt pirates". |
Jeebus, they originally called themselves teabaggers. So...
Anyone else see that when she gives a speech she looks like a fifth grader reading a term paper? She rambles on nervously and never takes a breath, someone needs to teach the art of pausing.

I saw about ten minutes of it and just couldn't take it, it's not even about my personal politics , she didn't seem interested in what as going on, it was basically "Who want's to ask the semi-attractive lady some questions?" Granted she might try and run as a vice in 2012, but I think this is the beginning of the "Palin-era" where she's basically the Oprah of politics, she shows up, news spends about 25 minutes of on-air time about what she's wearing etc. and she doesn't give any input on what's going on. This will surely piss off her feminist following...
As for the stuff wrote on her hand....it doesn't look professional, but so what.It's not that big of a deal at all.

The current iteration is too disorganized to focus on the issue that created it, the national debt. People were already upset about TARP, and then the omnibus came about, and then unifying them was spending responsibly and not redistributing taxpayer funds. Lots of other people clamored on board, and now you have people saying that Christmas songs should be mandatory in school.
I thought Palin speaking at the rally was a mistake on the part of whoever organized it. That supremely diluted the entire message, and turned the movement in everyone's eyes into simply an Anti-democrat, anti-obama movement. Not a non partisan movement to get Washington DC under control, so basically, just more republicans.

Sarah Palin is real-life Maude Flanders. I can't be the only person who sees that.

So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind. |
