5 minutes on the question.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RgW5tgDIxY

This is the Sarah Palin I saw in Boston yesterday Bristoe.

9 minutes and 41 seconds on the question.......

An optimistic American patriot....the opposite of disgruntled pessimistic whining hand wringing 'I want to leave America' goobers.

No offense to goobers.

A celebrity, talking head, quitter, etc etc.

I haven't decided whether quitting as governor helped or hurt her. She's definitely getting in the news lately, but she also definitely has the quitter brand on her. Personally, I think she'd have done better to have stayed on the job and worked against health care and other Obamanations.

Well, it certainly helped her bank account. And the perks....

That's no lie. She's been getting $100K plus for speaking engagements. I have a lot to say, too, but they want to charge me to say it, not pay me.

I bet if Reagan or Heston made that same speach y'all would be falling down on yourselves.

===========

Ain't that the frikken truth!!

What is Sarah Palin??? Hot!!!!!

She is not a great orator. Her voice does not convey authority or wisdom, nor control. Those are qualities we confer in a male voice. Reagan and Heston were trained actors, they had control of their voice and their body language. Sarah lacks that, it will hurt her.

Look at leaders female of different countries, deeper more masculine voices.

Sahra lacks that, it will hurt her.
==========

let me know when you feel it's beginning to happen as it sure hasn't happened thus far. Woman packs the house!

It's not just the message, it's how it's delivered. I know a number of people who like everything she says, but not her. That is directly due to her voice and delivery. She could use some speach coaching.

So, the same could be said about Hillary... but somehow I don't think her voice is her biggest liability. I don't buy it for Sarah either. She ain't got the chops for anything more than what she is right now.

I'm thinking it will be great fodder for her opponents--Republican and Democrat alike.

"The little lady couldn't stand the heat and got out of the kitchen" sort of thing.




Casey

We let O in why not Sarah? Look at the other trash we let in over the years. Why not back Sarah? She's better than what we got. It is time we get behind some one and do some replacements.

In order to win the elections and get America back we have got to get everyone behind a candidate and quit bickering. Were are going to need all the help we can get to Os bunch. We already all know how they cheat and lie in their politics. We can not afford to be split between candidates. Vote is going to be so close we need all and everything we can muster up.

Palin rallies a lot of people to the conservative cause, raises lots of money for candidates, and scares the bejeebers out of liberals. I don't want her to be president, I want her to keep doing what she's doing......making liberals' heads explode.

The T&A voters following Palin aren't going to get particularly excited over Newt.

Table Grade

I haven't seen any exploding liberal heads myself. Mostly I see laughing liberal heads when the idea of Sarah, "The Candidate" comes up.

Now if she gets past "The Candidate" stage somehow - and look, GWB did it - then I suspect liberal heads might explode, but for now, she is their number one pick to go up against Big O.

I find it quite interesting when Hillary tells us of her dangerous exploits in war torn Bosnia and other personal experiences she makes up. I find her delivery of those myths rivetting. Don't you?

Personally, I can't listen to Hillary say anything. I dive for the "OFF" button every time. My hearing is bad enough as it is and I cannot risk any more damage from such screeching. You guys will have to listen for me and translate as needed...

Wasn't it DocRocket who referred to Nancy Pelosi as the Screecher of the House? Gotta love it. Let's face it, some women aren't blessed with sonorous or melodious voices. Sarah Palin would seem an obvious candidate for some voice coaching. I would think any serious politician would want to fine tune his/her speaking style, just like an actor or athlete would undergo training.

Sarah is the best cheerleader for the conservative movement one could hope for. This, she does very well.I'm a big Sarah Palin fan.

That being said, No one that wants to WIN THE GAME will put the best CHEERLEADER in as QUARTERBACK.

I like Sarah and i would vote for her over our Kenyan President any time. As far as talk and speechs, actions go much further than works.

I could give a chit about how she speaks. It's what she says as opposed to what she does that concerns me. Obama told the people of Montana he was pro-gun...

Sarah Palin is a hard-working panderer. If she weren't a MILF, she'd be nowhere. Like Bristoe says, add fifty pounds and see where she's at.

She is doing a very good job and being well paid to do it. Let her run, but NOT for President.

Nominating her would be tantamount to handing The Obamafuckator another four years.

As I said on other threads, she's a twit without substance. Some idiots here took offense, but she's just a personality spewing calculated rhetoric. I agree, run her against Obama. I'd love to see a series of live debates.

Blah, blah, blah. Got anything else or is this all you do?

There's tons more. She's just too stupid:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgWqz95JDcU&NR=1

Again, I ask the question... The nay sayers don't like Palin, she's this she's that, she can't win blah, blah, blah, then Who the hell have you seen that has even half the ability to rally conservatives the way she does???

P.T. Barnum?

Actually, I have to agree with the Libidiot on this one.

A live debate between the Kenyan and Palin would be a laugh-riot.

George

Debates are likely to continue to be a problem for Palin. She seems to have trouble with unscripted events.

And the quitter issue will continue to hang over her head. If she couldn't handle being governor of Alaska, how is she going to handle being POTUS? The media attention and drubbing she got as governor is nothing compared to what the president has to deal with, let alone confronting international leaders. Somehow I don't think Putin or Hu is going to fall before Palin's charms.

She has to do a LOT more than rally the conservatives. They will vote for anything that ain't Obama. What you need is someone that can switch votes from Big O to the Elephant. And that ain't her.

Agreed. The idiot currently squatting in the WH does as well.

I could use the stress relief of that side-show.

George

You know, she isn't just a quitter as a governor. A friend did a little homework on her and she has quit more things that I can count. She ain't a finisher.

I'm not interested in a debate champion. I want someone who believes in getting America back on track and deep sixing the socialist's agenda. Principles over polish.

Smack talkin,game kill'in,fish wack'in.....ALASKAN. (like me .

A: pretty sure your friend could get six figures plus working for the MSM

or B: you can't count very high


or C: you're just a liberal POS that would rather deal in lies and innuendo than fact



I vote C

=========

Your friends apparently need to exert full time attention and effort homework on her. You have to find something to overcome your failing grades!

The fact SP is the code-pinker's full time homework assignment is refreshing in and of itself.

She must make you boys have to see shrinks and take meds. It's making me laugh my ass off how she has the pink tard's thongs all wadded up in a bunch.

but I'm on record what I'd prefer in a Prez, and as grateful as I am to Palin for what she did for Alaska, I'd prefer someone else to be the GOP nominee

BY THE WAY...i could take all the "tv stars/news chic's" that bad mouth/mock palin, put them all in a sack...shake it up-dump it out.... and NOTHING worth a dam would fall out.

It is time we get behind someone and start getting all the backing we will need. No matter what O does people still like him. It is doesn't matter what he does the his charisma will draw the stupid and uninformed. We all ready proved more than 50% of the US is either stupid or asleep. I say pick someone and get behind them before it is too late. Four more years of O and he will be a dictator.

Way more,...about 93%, actually.

We know more about Sarah Palin than we do about Barry Soetoro.

The Tea Parties are good but I don't want to do anything which would split the vote. If we are going as Republican we need to get the tea parties behind the Republicans. I want the America back that so many thousands fought and died for. I want a strong military to defend our country. I want a strong space program. Many of the technological advances we have today can be accredited to the space program.

TIME TO WAKE UP.

Figured you to stay with Barry.

Lord knows, as do many on the �Fire that I have done more than a little homework on the subject of Gov. Palin.
The record shows and has been posted on the �Fire so many times:
Sarah has NEVER QUIT on anything in her life unless it was to get a better run at it.
Show me where the record is wrong.
Don �t be a Paddler, back up your statements with some of those examples that you can�t count up to.

She hurt her politcal stance by quitting hands down, Would she protect true blood American values to her best ability? I would gamble yes.

Well she seems to have gotten alot better but still has a distinctive uptalk delivery as if she is asking "don't you agree". She needs to show more confidence, maybe study how Betty Joan Perske would tell em like it is.

Might be some reasons for that.

Such as lie-berals don't want the skeletons out on their Manchurian Muslim.

Sorry, but I just can�t see where Sarah has been hurt at all. Seems to be doing rather well.
I think because her reasons for reloading were valid.
When OL� Man McCain tapped her on the shoulder, there was no looking back.

And no way for her to remain in Alaska and do what she is doing for Conservatism now.
IMHO all of us Conservatives including Alaskans Conservatives are better off with Sarah where she in now on the national stage.

I think we could use Sarah as a VP but I also believe we need a man to deal with the leaders in the world. I don't believe that most of the leaders in the world give credit to women where it is due. If the man looked like Jesus Christ so much the better.
I know to far right.... but I want our country back.

Those of you taking the time to trash Srah as a presidential candidate are getting way ahead of yourselves. Rigtht now she is doing more than anyone to set the agenda and fire up the troops for the Congrssional elections this fall. She should be completely supported in those efforts by anyone who wants our country back.

Exactly. She's not running, and my guess is she won't run.

What she's doing now is way more fun, more effective on policy, and pays better.

The tone she's setting now will almost surely have to be followed by any declared candidate.

What is Sarah, an astute opportunist. Having voted for her as governor, and having analyzed her actions in office, it is clear that she has had some amazing timing (right place at the right time) and was bright enough to grab the opportunities that presented themselves.

She is NOT the conservative saviour so many people want her to be, but she knows what people want to hear. I have no doubt that she could catapult herself on peoples frustrations to become the next president. Just as so many people wanting anytying but George Bush voted Obama into office, so many people wanting anything but Obama could put Sarah into office.

But honestly look at what she did in her scant two years as governor of Alaska. The first year she did pretty much nothing, as making a leadership call would make her approval numbers drop and she certainly didn't want that. Then when she started taking action, it was to push through raising taxes on industry and raising state government spending. Then she hit the campaign trail with McCain. Somehow Alaska wasn't nearly as exciting as the National stage, so instead of doing the job she was elected to do, she figured it would be easier to cash in on her book deal, bail on her job as governor, and now she makes more money then she could imagine just be telling people what they want to hear.

Staying in her position as governor would have hurt her national ambitions, because she'd have to take a stand and be held accountable for her actions and decisions. She took the brilliant way out, make lots of money and get massive national exposure. How many politiceans are bright enough to take that tact? Instead of getting a measly politicians salary, you can make TV people money, and instead of raising campaign funds to get your face on TV, you get paid to be on TV.

.458---That is the most astute analysis of the Palin show that I have read or heard. Thank you.

I agree. For good or ill, and irrespective of her message, Palin suffers from a whiney voice and a stilted delivery. Both can be rectified, and I'm surprised, and perplexed, that her handlers have not addressed themselves to the issue. Palin's detractors find it easy to lampoon her because of her insipid delivery style, which I fear may prove fatal to any aspirations Palin may have of higher elected office.

It ain't fair, but what is, is.

Just my two cents.

Sarah is not perfect. As a politician, I think she is more conservative and honest than most. In the end, she's still a politician.

If only we could get politicians out of politics.

Yesterday at the Tea Party in Boston, Sarah asked me to convey a message to all of you here on the Fire' that have made disparaging remarks about her.



I realize that you can't hear what she said, but if you look carefully and read her lips, I think you will see that she is clearly saying ........... FU*k YOU!!

Sarah Palin is a beautiful woman, among other things...

DayPacker That same attitude prevailed with the Iron Maiden from England . Why don't you ask Argentina what their opinion of her is. Maybe to many men under estimate what some of the ladies
are capable of!! Just my 2 cents . YMMV Cheers NC

Spot on.

You're not by chance related to Isaac are you?

That was an interesting video and asks alot of questions that deserve to be answered.

There won't be any answers because half the GOP could care less what her positions are. She's sorta hot and she pisses off liberals and for a good many Republicans, that's the extent of their critical thinking abilities.

I would have to agree with you but also dont think she will be running in 2012. I have to believe that even she knows she couldnt win.

Smart woman-she earned 12 million dollars since leaving her post ! Appears to have good conservative values ! Whether she's ready or qualified to be our next President ? Time will tell !

Is she better than what we have now ? I think so, but I don't think that's enough to fix the mess this country is in !

We need a leader !!!!!

Dino

She's "Going Rogue" so who knows what's in that pretty little head of hers.

Jeb Bush!!!








...I'm not feeling so well

She is making too much money to throw it away trying to debate Barry on TV. I fear he would destroy her and lord knows I dont want him to be re-elected.

Then why are all you exceptionally stupid libs trying to cut her down all the time?

What I've found is that those that rip Palin's intelligence, are liberls or 3rd party losers......AND, those that always bring up her stunning beauty probably are hard to look at....ugly! Lots of ugly people around.

So Stan, what is her plan to fix the economy?

...Stan don't worry about specifics.

You could be right northcountry. It is interesting watching some of these leaders deal with a woman. Especially the countries who look down on women. I still like Sarah, just don't want to see the vote split. I think we will need every vote we can get starting in November. O will not be easy to beat in 2012.
