Sarah Palin

[Matty]

How much of any politicians statements are organic? How is she lesser positioned?

She's not. Everyone is backed by very smart and insightful armies of speech writers/PR people.

That does not make her anyhing more than a face.

 

[Cougar Bait]

She positions herself quite well when she plays into the caricature of herself by saying "mama grizzlies"

 

[Boner_18]

Okokok. Fair enough on all accounts I guess.

 

[IAG]

No she did have that policy stand.

It's not policy I am arguing

Get a better speaker, Jesus

She actually said MAMA GRIZZLIES

I guess I'm missing it...what is the big deal about saying mama grizzlies?

 

[reno cool]

Yes. She is getting some props for predicting this years ago.


She is an interesting woman. She doesn't have Hillary's brains, but she's not completely as dense as they make her out to be.

"they" lol

she's a cartoon character.

Hillary is a nasty woman, empty opportunist imo. Would be nice to see a sensible woman in politics, can't think of one though. Not many men either.

Because it makes her sound like an idiot?

Because it makes her sound like an idiot?

What should she have said instead..mama bear? cub mother? Or is it the whole metaphor you don't like?

Is this something new or something from an ad years ago?

Opportunist how? By riding Bill's coat tails?

Potential for a 5 page thread by tomorrow morning is moderate to high.

May need a dash of Cali or Casper.

pretty much. I remember she came to Boulder, making a speech at some rally outside at CU during Bill's campaign. I remember being disappointed at how empty her rhetoric was. Basically, she went on how "my husband is gonna do this and my husband is gonna do that". She appeared to have no real stance or understanding of any issues.

And it seems to be even more true today. She, like Obama stands for nothing, and their words reflect nothing more than tired, backward, popular stupidities of the ugly business lobby, political culture they are so entrenched in.

It is particularly disappointing for me, because I would like to believe that if a minority or a woman gained power she would present a fresh attitude, ideas etc.. I might actually half heartedly root for a Republican next time

It's not that simple. She should refrain from speaking for the Republican party. She just sounds no different than 6 years ago. I would think by now she'd have hired someone to help with her delivery.

Elizabeth Warren? She seems to be right in your wheelhouse, eat the rich, rabble rabble banksters rabble, etc etc etc so on and so forth...

I know you didn't mean that literally, but funny you should mention that. Always thought she sounded exactly like the mom from Bobby's World (2:49 mark):
