I agree with your notion of repetition.

That said, Greta had Palin on for a good chunk of the first segment of her show Thursday night. After SP gave the repetitive-type answers we’ve come to expect from her, Greta asked her in terms of specific policy, what she would have said if she were giving the SOTU. Things to get the economy going. And SP did not deviate and did not get specific at all. Greta gave her an opening to drive a truck through and she didn’t take it. I am a big fan of SP (see my tagline) but I must confess, it disappointed me a bit.

Then again, maybe the gov was just having an off day!

Now is not the time for specifics such as you wanted from SP. Why? Because anything she would have outlined as a solution would have immediately been sliced, diced and ripped apart by a press intent on destroying her. It wouldn’t have mattered if what they said about her ideas was true, only that the criticisms were out there.

By keeping it general, such as saying for example, “we need to take actions which will directly translate into permanent jobs rather than jobs created by stimulus money which will disappear as soon as the cash is gone”, she makes it impossible for the detractors to criticize her on that statementm since no one can reasonably disagree with her.

I thought it was just me, but you're right. Greta asked and Sarah replied with shallow stock answers. Apparently, that's what people want to hear.

How many people could answer this off the cuff?

"Then again, maybe the gov was just having an off day! "

Anything, and everything, Sarah Palin says (or does) is fodder for those of you who think of her as "stupid" to run out-of-context bull$h1+ on blogs like this, and others.

If you're looking for slick, BS artists, your guy is in office right now...all talk, no action...symbolism over substance.

I doesn't matter if Sarah Palin can knit two sentences together, so long as she governs how she believes, and lives that belief.

Do you want someone who will bring honesty and integrity to government, or do you want another sitcom star like clinton or obama?

Television has merged the lines between statesmen and "stars". We don't want someone who wins an oscar to run the country...you can tune in any day of the week and see what some lefty, hollywood dork thinks about the government...and if you wanted to assign "stupid" to someone, how about Sean Penn, Geo. Clooney, Danny Glover, and on and on...now THAT is stupid.

So far, Sarah has the very best agenda of all those in the running...her "agenda" is AMERICA and the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Her blueprint is the U.S. CONSTITUTION, and her moral guidebook is the BIBLE.

So, she is right...she does have commonsense vs the rest of the bullcrap going around out there.

She's real and if she runs, she has my vote.

The United States prisons are just full of SLICK TALKERS...and they all got caught.

If Sarah Palin has specifics to offer and if she intends to run for higher office, she will want to release her agenda at a time of her choosing and not at Greta’s.

This article is spot on, but you’re both right—she’s going to have to come through with specifics as well. She probably hasn’t sorted out her 2012 platform, and she’s revealing more bit by bit in her Fox appearances. (E.g., she was specific in going after Obama.)

It’s time to accept simple fact that Gov. Palin knows what she is doing (no matter how hard it is for some people). Sarah is not the President, Obama is! She is not even running for anything! It is ridiculous to expect from a private citizen immediate solutions for the enormous problems the country faces on many fronts. She doesn’t have the full weight of federal government behind her to formulate opinions and policies - Obama does! I agree: she is framing the debate, not allowing her critics to slice and dice her every word in their endless attempts to destroy her.
