She is a hypocritical moron why? What are some facts, or is it just an overrall useless agenda, and that she should not be in politics? Is there any merit whatsoever to her being in politics or is everything she stands for worthless? Not challenging your assessment, just curious.

Basically she is everything that is wrong with politics - critical w/o offering solutions, devisive, unqualified/unaware, humorless, and pandering to a base who cannot see the forest for the trees.

She might be a good speaker/fundraiser/commentator for the GOP/Fox, but the thought of her actually being part of our government at such a critical time chills my blood.

BH, what is so difficult to decypher about my Palin concerns? I have no secret agenda. There are all too many smart and qualified individuals among Republicans, Democrats or other who should warrant any serious consideration to be POTUS before Sarah Palin. She lacks intellect based on her own merit.

This is not an attack based on some sort of dislike for repubs or the tea party movement.

I thought about something: I have given a lot of speeches and taught a lot of classes including continuing ed for professional licensure. I have never stood before my peers at a podium without an outline of my discussion and I have absolutely never read my script/speech. People can tell.

That said, I think we give the President (all of them) a break with utilizing a teleprompter. It's really no big deal. She wrote her outline on her hand. It's really no big deal.

I care. That's why I started the thread.

If you don't care why bother posting in the thread?

I guess I am wondering why you care, because intellectually, I know you are above this. Some media outlets have it front page and center when there should be more important matters, not an outlet to wrap fish in. It's odd to me that those outlets think that they can sway her base into believing she is a hypocrite. Maybe we should care more about what they are not reporting, like Republicans worthy of our interest.

Except that she had just criticized someone else for doing something similar. That's always been my issue with her. That and her great ability to distort facts every-time she opens her mouth.

It was the ugly sentiment that Palin roused in the presidental ralleys that lost me forever for her and for McCains vote. I don't agree that she has common sense. She is cunning and will tell the mases what they want to hear to remain popular as most all politicians. If she had common sense she would not have left Alaska in the situation she did when she left her elected post there. The gas pipe line she always claimed fame over. Look it up now. Doubtful it will ever get built. Her flip-flop on Rush and the use of the word retarded was just one more in a long line of "do as I say, not as I do" that we can get used to from her. She's a politician, she is not a leader. The whole start a war with Iran deal. :shock: Wow, we know whose playbook she would play from if she needed a second term

Sorry, this entire response was not to you, Lynnie. I just got a little carried away.

Won?

He's the Harvard alum who just faced off against a room of members of the opposing political party (without a teleprompter, Shopper) and won. [/quote]

He Won? I don't think so. Maybe he thought he won. Maybe you thought he won. I didn't realize it was a contest to win. I thought it was an invitation to meet with the Republicans and DISCUSS. I thought the Republicans were respectful in both their questions and comments. I thought Obama held his own.

 

[scooterbug44]

I thought we all won when that happened - a great positive step forward for our squabbling fractiousness government to openly communicate - instead of via sound bites and attacks.

Would love to see many more of those....................and much less of all this partisan nonsense.

Put more meat on the bone, what are the actual issues that disturb you about Palin, or is it just the fact that she writes on her hand and "seems" a bit cheerleadish? I am having a hard time deciphering what the real concern is here, buddy. I really have a neutral approach to all of this at the moment, but am interested in your take on it.

buddy?, i prefer chiefy, or sport.

she resigned her position as governor to make book/lecture/tv money. would that preclude her from your vote?
