If any of you missed watching the Sarah Palin speach in CO., she knocked it out of the park! BHO is toast!
When she was speaking at events WITH JOHN MCCAIN, it was his job to deliver the major elements of the campaign.
Now that she is appearing on her own, it will be her job to include those elements in HER speech. Sounds like she did a great job.
It isn’t easy being a VP. I have no doubt Sarah could easily talk about what SHE thinks of things, but she has to make sure she is talking about what John McCain wants to do.
Biden actually isn’t doing that so well, but gets away with it because first, nobody KNOWS what Obama wants to do, second, nobody CARES what Obama wants to do. I’ve seen liberals argue that Obama will cancel a program that in fact Obama says he will expand for example.
If Palin says one thing different from McCain, the media will pounce on it.
I have a theory about that. McCain made the media look like fools when he picked a woman that none of them had “guessed” would be the nominee.
So now they are making him pay for making them look stupid.
As you say, it’s his opinion. For what it’s worth, I tend to agree with him. We human beings tend to let things slide as long as the slide is smooth. We really need something truly awful to threaten us before we decide to do anything. The possibility of a socialistic government isn’t immediate enough but the loss of a job and a house everything in it will certainly wake us up.
Woops, link was to 9/6 rally, sorry.
Good for you!
“Biden had a frowny pickle-face and so did his audience for that matter; no energy, no spunk. Deflated balloon. Pooey.”
“Frowny pickle-face” I love it. You’re great!
I think you have just invented another of our Freeper catch phrases along with “hugh” and “series” and all the others. It seems to me “frowny pickle-face” could also apply to many members of Congress as well.
Her sense of timing is AMAZING - and her words flow without a single fluff or filler. Really, the thought of some old Jack Benny performances (yes, on DVD’s) came to mind.
However, she does have one flawed speech pattern that I found surprising. At least twice, when referring to herself and McCain, she would start the sentence with both their names or designations, then insert the pronoun “we” or “us” to continue the sentence. Perhaps it is a deliberate emphasis, but I found it distracting.
Pretty durned good!
Not a good idea at all.
I was born in the Great Depression era. Of course I don't remember it, but I do remember the profound effect that it had on my family that lasted throughout my grandparents' and parents' entire lives. The '30s depression did not produce a self-suffiency effect, on the contrary, it drove the ordinary working people and small farmers away from their traditional reliance on hard work, frugal economic habits, and many mutually shared moral values, and straight into the arms of the socialistic, paternalistic, opportunistic, New Deal Democrats personified by FDR and his big government socialist solutions to the unprecedented economic crisis that had overwhelmed the beleaguered nation.
Another Great Depression on the scale of the 1930s calamity and the panic that would inevitably ensue in the terrified voters would probably mark the end of whatever vestiges of the fiscal policy and social structure of pre-FDR America that still exist, and the beginning of a virtually 100% Marxist economy and a near-totalitarian system of government run by people like the most radical elements of the Democrat party's far left wing.
IOW, tell your hubby to be careful what HE wishes for, because WE ALL just might get it.
ping for later.
ping for later.
I will explain what you say to my husband. I appreciate this information. I think he is frustrated with this society and the spoiled atmosphere of entitlement. But the depression may have caused that instead of correcting it.
Thanks again!
I think that is the mindset he has. He doesn’t want things bad, he just wants people to realize how self sufficient they really can be when push comes to shove. I think he overestimates this society though.

Did he say that if McCain is President, he would help, or was he saying that if Obama was President, he would help McCain? Is he really that stupid to admit that McCain could be President? They're not supposed to concede the possibility.
I hear this a lot, and I think (no offense) that it's an idea planted in people's minds by the media.
Candidates give stump speeches. The same speech, over and over again. In NH, in OH, in PA, in IA, they just keep saying the same stuff. No one thinks that's bad, or boring, or that they're getting off easy. Also, you tend not to see the speech so much, because -- frankly, it's boring. The MSM doesn't show you the same thing over and over and over again (why bore the audience?).
But now Palin is on the scene, and they splice film togehter "The bridge ... thanks but no thanks ... thanks but no thanks ... thanks but no thanks ... lipstick ... lipstick ... lipstick".
Why does the media show Palin repeating herself endlessly, giving the same tired old speech over and over again? Well, the MSM does it because -- frankly, it's boring.
Sabotage. She's just like every other candidate out there, but they want people to think that she's such a greenhorn that she only has a limited amount she can talk about.
My apologies!!
I see that you've been swamped on this. I didn't mean to pile on!
Thanks!
Actually much of her speech was quite different. Talking about reform on Wall Street, her 4 areas of interest, etc. I was actually a bit surprised how different it was. Still, the lines from the convention that get a good crowd response are still there. (”Not use change to further their career (pause for laughter and applause), but use their career to further change”)
Sarah used that pause to acknowledge Obama. Just like Obama used that same type of pause when he said “You can put lipstick on a pig (pause for laughter and applause), but ....”
