You’re right, Reagan did make gaffes, but he could speak VERY well spontaneously w/o notes. After all, they didn’t call him “The Great Communicator” for nothing.
Palin is not a great communicator. She may be a good fundraiser for the RNC and that’s where I’d like to see her.
In spite of Reagan’s goofups, he sure did generate some hugely quotable quotes over the years, on a par with Churchill:
Honestly, I just don’t see Palin coming up with any insightful, philosophical quotables like Reagan did.
Oddly enough in recent history, Slick Willie made VERY FEW verbal gaffes, comparatively speaking. JFK didn’t either. Maybe Democraps are just slicker than conservatives and have the gift of gab.
But at this point in history, conservatives need true public speakers to convey our message to the unwashed masses in a way that won’t be ridiculed by 51% of the population.
You await the conservative messiah much like the left awaited theirs -OBAMA -ALL SHOW no substance, great communicator, lousy leader -spineless bureaucrat...
You gotta break some eggs to make an omelet...
I myself am happy with a good hot helping of scrambled eggs -YOU keep waiting for your soufflett ala maverick establishment pretty boytt...
Palin is the real thing baby!
“Maybe Democraps are just slicker than conservatives and have the gift of gab.”
While they stick the knife deep in our backs...also, they are treated with kid gloves by the socialist propagandists - or did you forget about them?
I don’t think the left is actually all that slick frankly. Today’s media is MUCH different than in JFK’s time, for instance, where they covered for president’s gaffes and full on trysts for that matter...
Today it’s 24x7 news cycle - and the statist media and hollyweird wackos and comedians are completely aligned against Conservatives, of course, and it’s up to the blogosphere and talk radio to expose the gaffes - so many - of the left.
