I find it funny...

[TheSarge]

What I think we are missing here is the fact that Sara never made a point to hide her palm, in fact kind of called attention to it.

This I believed was contrived to be seen, it makes her more like most of us, gives us a mental link to her.  Say, this woman is just like the rest of us.

She is coming off as one of us, not a standoffish  who cares about you leadership.

Really a most brilliant idea, remember the old "  Talk to the hand".?

Her advisers are top notch, people will be reminded of her through jokes and personal experience.   Makes her a lot more human then some dude reading off a teleprompter. 

Wow...a little early to start posting drunk isn't it?

[TheSarge]

I didnt read what the man said and take it the way you did.  Actually I tend to agree with what he said and some of what you say to Palin being "one of us".  My point being that any contender whether political, in sports or even in business, when you have an edge or advantage you use it.  Its common sense, not creepy.  It aids in validating the very point that she is practical and down to earth or otherwise as you said "one of us".

Oh bullshit.  Making crib notes on your hand and reading EVERYTHING you say to anyone...even first graders and a "Middle Class Task Force" from two glass panels with others words...not yours coming from your head and your heart but a script...is a long way from what Palin did.

This little troll crept in here in the middle of the night to bash conservatives an slyly call us hypocrites...you included.

Swoop and poop is all this idiot is.

Perhaps I should have put a quote withing a quote because I think your attacking me for the wrong reason completely.  I am not agreeing with the troll.  I was referring to vestas comment and the one that I did quote in my previous post....

Not sure where your coming from unless you thought I was agreeing with the originally poster... In that case perhaps you should see my first post on this whole thread.

The whole thing of making notes on her hand... so friggin what... who cares.  I believe the whole media outlet is nothing but a school yard child crying about Palin... Get over it is what I say.  My point had nothing to do with the hand note... My comment had all to do with the person I quoted and the person they quoted.  Thats it. 

So whats your point?

[Happy Fun Ball]

You make it sound like a design, which really makes it creepy and about on par with some democrat trash.  I'm sure that was your intention.

I don't buy it.  Gov. Palin doesn't need an architect in order to appear spontaneous.  Sarah Palin genuinely is "one of us", thank God.

It was the second time when she wrote "Hi Mom!". Of course, she was just poking fun at the media and the loonies out there.

[Hawkgirl]

Aep, there is a big difference between writing a few words on your hand to stay on topic when public speaking and reading entire speeches from a teleprompter.  You have succeeded in calling attention to your savior...but you FAILED to make it positive attention.

Try again.

Palin Delivers Sparkle, Warmth
by Tony Blankley

...{many stats on the horror of O's budget}...

Americans rightly believe that we can build anything that needs building and fix anything that is broken. And, that we can do that by living out our nation's founding principles and values: constitutional government, respect for private property and life, a free market -- and the gumption of hard-working, inventive Americans.

Those are the principles and spirit that Sarah Palin articulated with sparkle and sincerity last weekend. Those are the principles that have brought the Tea Party movement into being. They are the same principles that inspired the conservative movement that arose in the 1950s-60s.

...

But the smarty pants who have driven America into the ditch by discarding traditional American values and principles should be cautious in writing off the most effective national advocate for such values precisely at the time that leftist programs have so conspicuously failed and outraged the public.

[PatriotGame]

...how Palin joked about Obama needing to use a telepromter during his speeches.
I guess being the Governor of Alaska doesnt pay much, if you have to resort to scribbling crib notes in your hand with a $1.25 Bic pen.

Ok, so ah...the big ZERO gives a little speech to a group of first grade SIX YEAR-OLDS at their school. There stands lord ZERO, with a complete podium standing THREE FEET ABOVE the kids using two teleprompters giving a speech on international finance and justification for the multi-TRILLION DOLLAR debt he has created to "save the nation" - to SIX YEAR OLD CHILDREN!!!

****! If you can't figure that out, the you need to pull 0bama's dick out of your mouth and come up for air.

[NHSparky]

I'm surprised not one person here has brought up the scene from "Anchorman":
Ron Burgundy:"You stay classy, San Diego?" 
News Director: "Dammit, who put that on Burgundy's teleprompter, you know he'll say whatever it says on there!"

I'm waiting for the day someone puts this on TOTUS:

That's exactly how I read it.

So whats your point?

Clarity on your part ensures against people getting the wrong impression of what you're trying to say.

[Javelin]

I really did not clarify anything in my post to you.  All it really takes is the ability to see and understand a conversation and where it is coming from.  I was quoting and referring to the post above me that I also quoted from, I am not sure how more clear it can get.

But anyway.

[BillyDontLoseMyNumber]

the following quotes are so dumb they must be from a liberal. Conservatives are much smarter.

"[T]hey're in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom." A political canditate after being asked by a third grader what the vice president does.


 "I think on a national level your Department of Law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out."  referring to a department that does not exist while attempting to explain why as president she wouldn't be subjected to the same ethics investigations that compelled her to resign as governor of Alaska.

And last but not least and still my favorite.

"As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border." explaining why Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience.

Dumbass Liberals 

[Alpha Mare]

Weekend pass, huh?

[Lord Undies]

What do you know, do a little bit of research and sure enough, Alaska has a Department of Law:

State of Alaskas Department of Law

But of course in the haste to make yet another attack on Palin, things like the truth never matter.

Billy, don't you have to go apply for a job at Taco Bell today?  After all, you DID promise you mom Pam that you'd move out soon.

Yeah, now that Taco Bell is paying minimum wage of $7.25 an hour now, I'm sure he's a shoo-in to sort beans.

(Billy, you have to remove the small rocks that are in the beans.)

[Ptarmigan]

It's quite obvious that our new member, Aep, has never taken a public speaking course. Cue cards, notes, etc. are allowed and often recommended for a speaking engagement. The teleprompter is an entire speech, written out for an individual. Which, in your opinion, Aep, requires more brain power?? So what if Palin is a little old school??

Very good practice to use notecards for speaking. A teleprompter is what reporters use.

[Eupher]

some guy that's parked in the White House uses one too.

[SVPete]

  A 5- or 6-word outline of a lengthy speech is equivalent to a teleprompter feeding speeches and talking points line by line, word-by-word? That doesn't even rise to the level of being merely absurd.

[rich_t]

Wow...a little early to start posting drunk isn't it?

It's always 5 o'clock somewhere.

What I find funny is that this person registered here just to post this ridiculous comment, and hasn't been back since.

[The Village Idiot]

That's it?

They defend a guy who needs a teleprompter to say hi to his kids by attacking someone who can give a speech with a few word prompts?

I find it funny that Diane Feinstein did the same thing in a debate, which was against the rules.

I count six words.  She must be an awful person and a terrible mother.

I give her extra points for being able to deliver a speech without having to swivel her head like a weather siren.
