I have posted many things about Caribou .. er.. I mean Sarah Palin on this forum. I do have to agree that all she does is to state and restate phrases that provide a good sound bite such as, "only dead fish go with the flow", "pitbulls don't wear lipstick", and crap like that.

Palin offers NO substance at all. It is all just political puffery. She does not take questions from the audiences; she does not take questions from the press; she will not got on television except for FOX - everything has to be scripted for her puffery sound bites.

Also, as I have said on here many times, Palin has great business handlers and agents. She has taken a position as governor of Alaska (total population of less than greater Orlando) with a salary of about $150,000, quit mid-term, and parlayed that into ghost-written books to sell to reactionary dupes and speaking fees of up to $100,000 for more reactionary dupes to hear those puffery soundbites.

Now, Richie and BKCunningham, I would bet you are NOT going to agree with this posting of mine. Hope you are having a good day in The Villages. Be sure to play by those new Federal golfing rules.

Only wanted to prove my point on what constitutes "funny", and I picked a person much admired by many but loathed by Obama sycophants on purpose to prove my point. As I expected and would have bet on, I wasn't disappointed. High five, anyone?

(Always a good day in TV, Bugs. Some chores today and a trip to the range later, as I have golf scheduled for the next 3 days. Hoping to play with more confidence. Tough game.)

@Richie. Cool, Bugs looks like my husband and I can make $40 a day with the new rules. Just have to finish getting my new windows in so I can get the maximum federal and state rebates for energy efficiency. Then return I'll to the green, pun intended. I've had to cut down to golfing only three times a week since we've been doing the entitlement/redistribution improvements to the new house. C'est la vie.

On the bright side, your post completely illustrates my point above about selective outrage. Thanks for that.

Umm.. Help me out here. I asked what message she gives to you and all you could say was that she can get a crowd going? You made my point - sloganeering was the word I used.

Let me put this another way - and I'll ask this two ways.

Who do you think would make a better President - Palin or Romney?

Who do you think has better character - Palin or Romney?

...and feel free to substitute someone else for Romney. I picked him because, in my *subjective* opinion, he's more qualified, more dignified and more intelligent. Also, having worked in Massachusetts while he was governor and living the last 37 years just across the border in New Hampshire, I know more about him than other candidates.

BUT - he'll never get a crowd whipped up like Sarah Palin talking about "mamma grizzlies", I'll give you that. She CAN be more charismatic more often.

I don't think I'm going to allow myself to be baited into another "Palin Bash", even if I brought her up to illustrate that if you change the target, bias shows. I can defend her, and if you wish, you could find the same columns, interviews and speeches I would.

If you want to discuss the original post, i might be persuaded.

Tell you what; you want to get who is the American woman who is Sarah Palin? You can go to this site yourself. It starts off with her speech before a huge crowd that liberal politicians only dream of attracting, and then you have links to many other posts of hers.

Awesome Hancie. I have to say I've never heard Ms. Palin espouse contempt and ridicule like this toward her fellow Americans as Mr. Obama does in one of these clips. I'd love to hear from certain people on this forum if they have the nerve to try to defend their parties hypocritical rhetoric on the price of gas.

I guess Xavier stumbled into the only defense. Juggle!!!! Too funny.

It's not 'bashing' Sarah Palin. Heck, when McCain picked her, I thought it was brilliant - for about 24 hours.

I don't have to go the route of most 'bashers' who pick on the sound bites, the writing on her hands, the "deer caught in the headlights" look and the other flubs. That's too easy and, more importantly, doesn't have ANY substance. Smart people can look dumb at times.

No, I prefer to keep it on the issues. She's supposed to be so accomplished but she was the mayor of a town where that is almost a do-nothing job - and that's coming straight from the mouth of the woman who was holding the post when interviewed last year. Wasilla depends on the state for most of it's services and when asked what city employees do, she responded that they show up on Tuesdays for their checks. (I know she was kidding but that was a bad joke to tell given the circumstances)

She's lauded as a governor, but there are 49 other governors out there who have harder jobs than hers. Oil revenues mean that every resident gets a check every year. She's had no budget struggles, no hard decisions to make. Being governor of Alaska is being in charge of a honeypot and deciding who gets the honey.

...and one other thing about those other 49 governors? They stayed at their post. They didn't quit to go on speaking tours.

Think about that. She said she wasn't quitting, though that's what she did, in the middle of her "I quit" speech. She said she had more important things to do. This consists of a reality show and speaking tours? Oh, it's more *profitable*, I grant you that.

Again, it's the SUBSTANCE she doesn't have. And saying that I'm "just a Palin basher" means you're turning a blind eye to her *real* and substantive weaknesses.

Why pick on her? Because if SHE becomes the standard bearer for the GOP next year, they WILL lose. She is NOT qualified. Every single "unqualified" remark you can make about Obama you can make about her - except now Obama has on-the-job experience (as scary as that can sound). And let's face it, he got The Bad Guy.

The GOP *has* to come up with someone better, someone who can handle being interviewed by 'hostile' interviewers. Someone who has experience dealing with a legislature that is hostile towards them. (Think about it - Romney.. A *Massachusetts* Republican)

It turns my stomach to see what the GOP is turning into. My voting record used to be almost exclusively Republican (and 3rd party later on) dating back to my first election when I voted for Reagan in '80.

Palin and select others. So how many of Washington's incumbents would stand the scrutiny of the same measuring stick being used....let's say anything over 24 hours to 24 years!!!!

Most would fall into the same, ya gotta be kiddin' me, candidate list!!!!
