Sarah Palin - Page 7

He comes off like a wet rag, except when I have seen him on some of those c-span congressional inquires. Then he is like a rabid dog and gives no quarter, I like that in him. I am quite sure that Palin could easily do the same. If they lose this election I put money on her going after Stevens seat.

You could see plain as day Palins coaching. She gets an A+ for remembering her lines but a D- for answering the questions.

At first, I was impressed by her ability to regurgitate on cue what she had been force-fed, but after a while it began to look like a bad case of food poisoning.

I think debates in this day and age are completely and utterly pointless. It is nothing more than a dog and pony show. The candidates will certainly not give us real insight into who they are and what they will do if elected while they pose for the cameras and recite memorized position points. The voting public turns the tv on with preconceived ideas about each candidate and 99% of the time they only process what they see and hear in a way which will further support what they already believe.

I whole heartedly support Barack Obama.

If and when McCain dies and the country is left up to some ditsy ho like Sarah Palin, the United States will have slowly started its decline as a world super power.

Bit late for that prediction mate.

She gets an A+ for her whole performance. I would give Biden a solid B, but that's about it. He was lackluster.

I mean exactly what I said. The decline began before this election cycle. IMHO it began with Clinton and has been going down ever since.

I agree with this - but at the same time I have to wonder. How would someone ever know exactly what is going to happen when they get there?

Back in the day of Ross Perot (who I did not support) and after the election that he lost - he was doing an interview on NPR. They asked him if he was upset that he didn't get to be president.

His response "Hell no, not now. Could you imagine? You are in the White House, drinking your morning coffee and reading up on the news. Then all of a sudden - BAM - Jesus Christ shows up in Waco Texas." (This was right during the David Koresh thing in Waco)

What I would like personally - is to have a candidate that shows up to the debates - gives their ideas and what they would like to do when in office - but then state "Ya know what - depending on what shit hits the fan when I get there - this is all subject to change."

- Unless they have a crystal ball and know exactly what is going to happen which I seriously doubt.

That's kind of my point. They go into the debate and spout all of this BS that we don't believe (and neither do they) and the whole time we all know that what we are buying tonight is not what will be delivered on 1-20-09. What they say doesn't matter. If you liked McCain/Palin before this debate then she did a bang up job and exceeded expectations by kicking ol' Joe square in his nuts. If you liked Obama/Biden then Palin was a trite little soccer mom, caught in the headlights, and not very good at answering questions between reciting what was on her flashcards. The truth is that neither version is true or false. Election years generally piss me off because otherwise very intelligent people somehow forget to filter out their own bias when evaluating the candidates' performances.

The GOP is beginning to remind me of the 2008 Olympic French swim team that was going to "smash" the American team. When they lost, they said, "it was by a mere fingerlength that we did not win----it means nothing!"

Any republican who doesn't see that Sarah is moronic and that McCain is about to snap needs a reality check. McCain has been looking like a rabid nutjob lately----I'll bet it's due to the Stunning Stupidity of Sarah. someone didn't clue him in properly. She's a phony, know-nothing, dangerous person. Surely, surely, republicans really do know this.

Ah. I thought this was another "get used to Palin" thing.

Never mind.
