I levitate.

And I observe people.

And what I see in my observance of this chic is that she talks down to people. She sees that as "Straight talk" and its not.

Think what you want, and you can throw childish insults, thats okay too, but while Im levitating and observing her, Im going to say the same thing over and over again...she doesnt know what she is doing and in this life that can get some one hurt. In her case that some one could be millions of Americans.

But hey, its your vote, you can cast it any way you choose.

And again, Besides reading minds, I levitate.

An amazing talent, I'm sure... being able to levitate.    As for the observing people thing, I think I'm fairly safe in saying that there are others around who do that, too, and who wouldn't agree with your opinion.

Care to cite some specific examples of where you believed she was being condescending?  Exact quotes would be preferred.

I can't stand either Republicans, or Democrats. I really wish the mud slinging would just stop and we could actually hear about the real issues, inflation, civil liberties, foreign policy, the economy, the federal reserve ext.  Instead all most Americans care about is the personal life's of the candidates, starting rumors, and attacking their character.

Though honest question....Why is Palin not qualified but Obama is?  He doesn't have much more experience than her? And further more we have a republican president...he sucks, and a democratic congress...they suck....maybe what we need is new people, not the same people with the same ideas. (though I wouldn't say Palin or Obama is the right choice). In my opinion new ideas, a strong voice for freedom, and some hard work trumps experience. Our current politicians experience is learning how to not repersent the people and do what ever the fuck they want.

If you have no plan, like the Democrats, then the only thing you can do is sling mud at the other side...typical liberal politics.

quote:

ORIGINAL: Steponme73

The democrats are afraid of Sara Palin because she is so much smarter than any of them.  Plus they had the opportunity to put a woman on the ticket and chose to do the "Good ole Boy" routine...and now they regret it.

if palin weren't as attractive as she is, she wouldn't be as hated as she is.

ORIGINAL: xXLithiumXx

Its not in the exact quotes, its more in the demeanor....and I have stated this before...as have others...the winking, and the "folksy" talk. Its just this way...like...the half whisper like shes your high school guidance lady.  And the constant referal to Joe Six pack...and of course her assumption that the American people want straight talk...and that the only corruption is on Wall Street, or that the only ones who fear are Soccer moms.....She uses sterotypes to try and get in touch with people that she doesnt understand.  I find it demeaning.

And yes Levitating is an awesome ability. You have no idea what it does for me in grid lock traffic.

You want specific examples and quotes?

Here ya go...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89FbCPzAsRA

theres like an hour and half of them. enjoy...once was enough for me. Im still coming down from the dramamine.

ORIGINAL: MmeGigs
Both the R's and D's have certain consitutencies that they consider a lock.  I think that anyone who characterizes the motivations of those they don't agree with in a way that strokes their own personal biases - as you are doing here - is engaging in some serious self-deception.

... She's an empty headed ninny and nothing more than pretty wrapping paper for the McCain ticket.

quote:

ORIGINAL: TheHeretic

No, Gigs, I think the Dems are out in front when it comes to the "identity" politics.  Consider the assertions, made again and again about blacks, who venture off the reservation. 

And you have quotes at the ready by Democrats, or are you bullshitting? 

Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice have all been accused of 'not really being black.' 

If you need some Strom Thurmond or Jessie Helms quotes, I can retrieve them for you.
Even Sharpton's comments, when he was still backing Hillary, that Barry "might be our color, but he isn't our kind." 
Just recently, Bill Buckley died, I would hate to have to trash his memory.


     Then consider how the feminist movement turned its back on women who chose to stay home with ___'s. 
The feminist movement was not a democratic thing, we didn't want them histerical cunts running around any more than say the guy in the minneapolis airport tapping his toes did.  Nor did REAL feminists. 

I happen to think that Palin has a remarkable resume, going from PTA to the Governor's office, and sending crooks running and to prison along the way, but, because she doesn't think right... 
Could we have a small WTF moment here in rememberance, aint that why you voted for Bush because he would fry a retarded motherfucker up who was easily entrapped by the cops, originally?
 
Well, you can read the comments on this thread and others for yourself. 
Yes, not much of any lasting import here.

Should I throw that age old disclaimer that its my opinion and you dont have to agree, but I have a right to state it?

Or is that an unspoken thing?

quote:

ORIGINAL: TreasureKY

I've seen so many here jump in to declare that Sarah Palin is stupid and empty-headed.  Yet, can any one of you say that you've done what she has done?  Could you run a successful campaign and unseat an entrenched incumbent?  Just how well would you fare being a Mayor or a Governor?  Could you stand in front of millions of viewers and give a compelling speech?  Could you sit across from a TV anchor on nationwide television and answer difficult questions on matters of national and international importance?  When is the last time you debated a 36 year veteran of the US Senate in front of the world... live?

Think about this... if she is stupid, what does that make you?

I could only wish to be so stupid.

quote:

I saw that article and it made me angry because it is dead wrong and it is sexist. Puhlease.... hate Sarah Palin because she is pretty? Then tell me why I am an Angelina Jolie fan... she makes Palin look like a dish of Alpo (most of the rest of us too).

quote:

ORIGINAL: kittinSol

All that Palin has been on the recent political scene is her body. She is her body. Her body has been used by her party in the most cynical way because she's a woman: and that's going to bite her, but more importantly, McCain, in the proverbial ass. And this is why, ultimately, a large part of the electorate dislikes what Palin has turned out to incarnate: the GOP's cynicism and eight years of cynical, manipulative policies.
