It’s pretty bad. Nothing she says means anything to them. They infer their own meaning into comments while they stomp their feet and try to scream over people.
I feel like the wallflower student who raises his hand and no one notices. What I know for sure about Palin I like, except for her position on abortion being a states rights issue. What you’re missing here is that pulling in quotes from hither and yon without citation to specific sources leaves one wondering about the history behind those quotes. She supposedly backed McCain’s position on illegal immigration, but flatly denies being for amnesty. That’s conflicting data. Do we really resolve it just by arbitrarily picking one quote over another? Or do we try to fit those quotes into her personal/political evolution? With what degree of granularity did she support McCain’s position? Every last detail, or the nice squishy part about being humane? Has she shifted in her thinking since the original quote? How much? Why? Reagan shifted to more conservative positions over time. That’s why citations are helpful. They help you see the timeline.
And would someone please tell me what LOST is about. I don’t recognize the acronym.
