Former Governor Sarah Palin, doing a Q & A after her speech at the Tea Party Convention. Seems to have scribbled some crib note on her hand. All this after criticizing the president for using a teleprompter. I understand that it is standard republican rhetoric to attack the Mr. Obama as an empty suit, and there is nothing that will dissuade them of that. The opposition is always intellectually shallow. But this woman is the epitome of that. She has not issued one independent thought on any subject. She can not even answer questions given by a completely friendly host. Her command of issues and policy is a millimeter thick. Her paeans to "common sense solutions" and "Real Americans" makes me want to vomit. Why? Because a lot of the problems we face are not simple. Common sense does not hold up well in those situations. Health Care Reform is not simple. Yet we have all these people complaining that we need to break it apart and do the popular things. Repeat it with me. Piecemeal....will...not...work. That is something that most vocal republicans do not address (I am looking at you Peggy Noonan). Well those that are even engaging in the argument, the others are just stomping their feet screaming "no" to deny the majority any accomplishment.
I am terrified of this woman, she embodies a lot of scary ideas and these people love her. They do not care what she stands for or that she has no real core beliefs, they will concoct whatever is necessary to support her.
-Cheers
