You do understand of course that those interviews were edited to make Palin look stupid?
And possible embedded troll.
Sh!t stirrer is obvious.
Just my humble opinion but read my tagline. Either one would be a good president because of their policies and outlook.
Jindal is damaged goods (or will be after SNL does its take on last night’s speech)
Do you really want to start a war? Palin is my favorite, but I like Jindal too. Let’s give it some time and see how things play out before we tear down the top conservative contenders.
If I’m not mistaken, the talking heads said that Jimmah Cahtah would make a good president because he was a really bright guy - he was an engineer after all, right?
Leadership rarely goes to the brightest, because rarely are the brightest the best.
As for Jindal, he IS a geek, and he IS too young, and he simply doesn't look like presidential material to me. It's hard to believe the GOP is so barren, but apparantly it is.
Palin has exponentially more draw with the base than does Jindal.
Jindal whilst conservative is sorta lackluster and I think his main draw for many here is his uniqueness which I think is the wrong path for conservatives.
Identity picks.
Palin inspires folks and scares the hell out of the left.
Haley Barbour speaks much better and very disarming and affable but quite potent and is just as conservative but he’s a chunky late middle aged white guy with a southern accent.
Why not him instead of Jindal.
The one time I saw Jindal interviewed on TV, he was so bland that I wrote him off right then and there. Palin is another George Bush, I’m afraid.
Can’t we do better?
btw...are you and Big Monkey working in tandem?
It serves no conservative purpose to tear down either Palin or Jindal at the expense of the other. Both are rising stars (despite what the media will have you believe), and we don’t need to be doing the enemy’s job for them.
She no doubt just says whatever comes to her mind..
Why Not?.. Ann Coulter is very astute and pointed on her remarks but they are mishandled as a matter of course.. same with Sara..
Looking at stuff thru a liberal mind makes liberals see double and triple.. or even stuff that was not said at all..
Agreed, with a caveat. Palin’s vice presidential campaign was deeply disappointing to me. Conservatives can blame the MSM all they want – and the MSM was vile to Palin – but those non-answers, vapid talking points, and deer-in-the-headlights moments (not just in the interviews but in the VP debate) were mostly her own fault.
Here’s the caveat. Palin was, in all fairness, rushed to the national stage on very short notice. She was also at the bottom of the ticket and must have been following McCain campaign marching orders to some degree. Before I pass final judgment, I want to see a more seasoned version of Sarah Palin, speaking for herself.
Jindal also disappointed me last night. A more solemn, somewhat more confrontational speech was called for, but Jindal impresses me as a super-bright guy who will recognize and repair his mistakes soon enough. I’ve seen him look much, much better in other forums. A whip-smart guy like that is a breath of fresh air in a party that frankly seems to have succumbed to stupidity on many levels.
You DU punks are terrified of Palin, aren’t ‘cha?
2012 is a long way away, and it’ll seem more like 20 years with Obamalamadingdong in office, so any talk of this guy or that girl as the GOP nominee is useless. And, I don’t think we can just keep rolling through warm bodies as damaged goods after every stupid SNL skit.
Governor Jindal had better get some coaching in his method of delivery. He comes off as a geek because of his method of delivery sounds phony and amateurish.
After all TV personalities spend their career in front of the cameras, and have interviewed thousands. They ask questions framed with ‘a twist’ on the information with which they pose the question. It is done purposefully and with intent.
In Palin’s case it is difficult because even the smallest error would be blown up; and she knew that. This had become a politically correct world; and it inhibits speech for fear of being perceived wrongly/incorrectly.
In Jindal’s case he had a prepared text he was speaking from; and he had time to practice. Entirely different.
Do not allow them to succeed in turning away from the best candidates. Otherwise ... they win ... you lose ... we all do.
Did you also support Juan McCain?
Palin wasn’t prepared for the unmerciful grilling she received - she was just the Vice-Presidential candidate. And yet, despite the efforts of the Dems to make her appear foolish, she DID give McNutjob a boost in the polls. McNutjob handled her very poorly. He didn’t use his best asset well.
The media correctly identified her as a real threat as she is a genuine “average” person, is really a sincere, decent individual, and her views closely reflect those of middle America.
If there is one thing the left hates - its a non-Caucasian conservative or a female conservative, ESPECIALLY if they are photogenic and radiate “star” quality. They feel the Democrats should have a lock on those personalities.
Jindhal is a bright guy too and I don’t think he is a “geek”. Unlike some commentors here, I think the Republicans have a host of potential stars for the future: Jindhal, Sandford, Palin, Romney and others less well known at present like Cantor.
The problem with the Republican Party is they have too many back-stabbing subversive rats like Snowe, McCain, Spector, Collins, Graham, Crist, etc., who are political prostitutes on the make, more than ready to backstab conservatives just to be able to lick the filthy paws of the mainstream media and the entertainment elites and politically correct freaks.
Its time the RINOs and Rats were kicked out of the “big tent”.
