Here’s the way I see her “lack of depth”.
Like Sean Hannity, she can recite the rhetoric very well, but can she elaborate more in support of her position?
In other words, she may know the correct answer, but does she know—and can she effectively communicate—EXACTLY WHY it’s the correct answer?
Most interviews I’ve ever seen with her tells me no.
Feel free to call me a liberal if you wish. Believing that my opinion is based on gender, rather than a legitimate concern, is roughly akin to the Liberals’ cry of ‘racism’ at every argument against Obama. It’s a complaint without merit.
If Palin is our nominee (without a serious improvement in her image with moderates), we’ll both be called “Losers” in 2012. Except in my case, I will know the real reason we lost.
Since I don't listen to Hannity on radio or TV, your examples don't mean anything to me personally. Tho it may to you in making your point....
Could you give me an example of your comment***In other words, she may know the correct answer, but does she know—and can she effectively communicate—EXACTLY WHY it’s the correct answer. (this makes little sense to me to say she communicates the correct answer and may not effectively communicate why it is the correct answer)
Does any politician do that to your satisfaction...and could you give me an answer so I could understand the point you are making....I am trying to truly understand what you mean.
For me, I listen to what comes out of a politicians mouth consistently, I look at how they live their lives, I get a *gut* feeling that someone is being dis ingenious, for example Kerry, Edwards Gore...their lives and mouths don't agree. I judge them phonies...I look at past legislation they have supported, I look at what they did not support, I determine if what they say supports what they do...
That is how I judge a political person...I am not so naive as to have to have them explain any farther....Those judgment on a persons ability are mine to make...Do they believe in family, are they anti abortion, do they believe in protecting our borders, are they respectful of our military and do they have the ability to laugh at themselves. Are they honest in their beliefs....
Is what comes out of their mouth what they live up to in their lives..I think this gives you a clear idea of what I look for.
I still don't know what your looking for as you only make 1 statement....***In other words, she may know the correct answer, but does she know—and can she effectively communicate—EXACTLY WHY it’s the correct answer***
Perhaps the fault lays in me, but I still don't understand what you are looking for and who has the qualifications you are looking for in a candidate..and how those differ from other candidates or from Palin..
Hope I have not been too confusing in what I say. For me someone can state what they believe is correct (ex. Gore and global warming) He tells us why it is a fact and uses false science that sounds good, but he is still lying through his teeth even with his explanations.. His mouth and his life don't agree with each other even though he gives us the why of his belief.... GG
