Had it been one incident I'd have probably let it go. Joel Send a noteboard - 11/02/2010 05:23:47 AM
I just didn't think that particular incident was a valid example. I can't say that she hasn't given plenty other causes to doubt her ability to lead a nation.

I wasn't offended. I was just explaining why I was defending her in this case when normally I wouldn't be bothered. It is just something in my make up that doesn't like to see someone being possibly unjustly accused or judged without having examined all the possibilities.

This critisism of her struck me as petty and half-baked. Tabloid style.

Don't worry I was not offended. Just being self-righteous.


Tash

Anyone can have an off day, but this kind of thing is more of a pattern with her. I can't recall ever hearing Palin say anything insightful or deep, but recall MANY cases where she said something that left me thinking, Someone should really proofread her speeches... someone not-her.... I believe the McCain campaign reached a similar conclusion.

Not that I've never been known to get self-righteous, but I'm glad you didn't take it personally.

yes yes it is. a teleprompter is subtle LadyLorraine - 08/02/2010 01:22:17 AM 669 Views

It's good the media still hounds her. I don't want her to be a candidate. *NM* AgentOrange - 08/02/2010 01:20:21 AM 307 Views

Tell her if she wants credit she should come take it herself. Joel - 08/02/2010 02:30:06 AM 599 Views
Isn't her 15 minutes over yet? *NM* Mossman - 08/02/2010 02:45:58 AM 401 Views
This only obscures the rational reasons for duly decrying her political popularity. Moooooooo. *NM* Burr - 08/02/2010 03:19:45 AM 351 Views
I disagree, I think it underscores it. Joel - 08/02/2010 03:39:57 AM 593 Views
Or they might believe that a far left liberal random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:16:51 AM 612 Views
Calling someone who needs a cheat sheet for their talking points stupid isn't an ad hominem, IMHO. Joel - 08/02/2010 12:13:36 PM 608 Views
soory but your wrong, again random thoughts - 08/02/2010 02:23:31 PM 558 Views
You shouldn't need reminders of your major themes after two years pushing them. Joel - 08/02/2010 02:55:22 PM 603 Views
I used to work in a call center and had a note to remind me to talk slower random thoughts - 08/02/2010 05:54:25 PM 728 Views
I don't hate her, and I think most liberals love her. Joel - 09/02/2010 10:45:25 AM 719 Views

*shrugs* If you're going to suggest sex ed is harmful, unnecessary and promotes promiscuity... Joel - 10/02/2010 08:34:16 AM 685 Views
so if you don't support the liberal agenda your family is fair game for attack? nice to you admit it random thoughts - 10/02/2010 06:26:30 PM 618 Views
Um, no, if you're going to demand everyone follow your advice it better not be disastrous for you. Joel - 11/02/2010 05:29:01 AM 604 Views
Do you have anb example of when she demanded everyone follow her advice? random thoughts - 11/02/2010 05:33:17 AM 656 Views
Honestly, her sex ed position seems so muddled to me it's hard to say Joel - 11/02/2010 06:50:39 AM 815 Views
That's a bit silly Isaac - 08/02/2010 08:40:25 PM 755 Views
I'm perfectly happy to discuss her positions; I just think Huckabee does a better job of it. Joel - 09/02/2010 10:26:54 AM 777 Views
Well, let's discuss some of these points Isaac - 09/02/2010 07:13:33 PM 781 Views

Ironically, Palin seems to agree this is different than using a teleprompter for a speech. Joel - 11/02/2010 09:05:19 AM 778 Views
Again, two seperate things Isaac - 11/02/2010 09:51:15 PM 603 Views
Agreed, but Palin and other Republicans, not I, drew the comparison. Joel - 15/02/2010 01:02:25 PM 743 Views
Just to get the obligatory Feinstein comment out of the way... Isaac - 15/02/2010 11:43:42 PM 801 Views

I disagree. For all we know she has a learning disability. "Disability" does not equal "stupid". Tashmere - 09/02/2010 03:23:24 PM 672 Views
A possibility I hadn't considered, true, and sorry if I gave offense. Joel - 10/02/2010 08:25:52 AM 802 Views

True, one is about what Palin DID and the other is just characterizing opposition as treason. Joel - 15/03/2010 04:39:45 AM 570 Views
This is petty and also rather ignorant Isaac - 08/02/2010 03:59:40 AM 755 Views
