OMG I'm in Shock. Palin said some REALLY INTELLIGENT and Insightful Stuff!

[The T]

She says intelligent things quite often. She says stupid things occasionally. She is *gasp!* human.

Imagine that? To read and listen to some? She resides in a Neandrethal cave.

Wrong three times in a row. Typical.

So you think she never says stupid things and isn't human?

I think she says something intelligent occasionally, she says stupid quite often and her skin is so thin, you can see where her heart should be. So "human" is questionable.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

This was from that Liberal Rag, the New York Times. For the first time since I can remember, she's said something I find really great.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/10/us/10iht-currents10.html?_r=3&src=ISMR_AP_LO_MST_FB

"Let us begin by confessing that, if Sarah Palin surfaced to say something intelligent and wise and fresh about the present American condition, many of us would fail to hear it.
....

She made three interlocking points. First, that the United States is now governed by a “permanent political class,” drawn from both parties, that is increasingly cut off from the concerns of regular people. Second, that these Republicans and Democrats have allied with big business to mutual advantage to create what she called “corporate crony capitalism.” Third, that the real political divide in the United States may no longer be between friends and foes of Big Government, but between friends and foes of vast, remote, unaccountable institutions (both public and private).

In supporting her first point, about the permanent political class, she attacked both parties’ tendency to talk of spending cuts while spending more and more; to stoke public anxiety about a credit downgrade, but take a vacation anyway; to arrive in Washington of modest means and then somehow ride the gravy train to fabulous wealth. She observed that 7 of the 10 wealthiest counties in the United States happen to be suburbs of the nation’s capital.

Her second point, about money in politics, helped to explain the first. The permanent class stays in power because it positions itself between two deep troughs: the money spent by the government and the money spent by big companies to secure decisions from government that help them make more money.

“Do you want to know why nothing ever really gets done?” she said, referring to politicians. “It’s because there’s nothing in it for them. They’ve got a lot of mouths to feed — a lot of corporate lobbyists and a lot of special interests that are counting on them to keep the good times and the money rolling along.”

Because her party has agitated for the wholesale deregulation of money in politics and the unshackling of lobbyists, these will be heard in some quarters as sacrilegious words.

Ms. Palin’s third point was more striking still: in contrast to the sweeping paeans to capitalism and the free market delivered by the Republican presidential candidates whose ranks she has yet to join, she sought to make a distinction between good capitalists and bad ones. The good ones, in her telling, are those small businesses that take risks and sink and swim in the churning market; the bad ones are well-connected megacorporations that live off bailouts, dodge taxes and profit terrifically while creating no jobs.

Strangely, she was saying things that liberals might like, if not for Ms. Palin’s having said them.

“This is not the capitalism of free men and free markets, of innovation and hard work and ethics, of sacrifice and of risk,” she said of the crony variety. She added: “It’s the collusion of big government and big business and big finance to the detriment of all the rest — to the little guys. It’s a slap in the face to our small business owners — the true entrepreneurs, the job creators accounting for 70 percent of the jobs in America.”

Good for you Sarah!

Sarah has been saying that same thing for months, yet you, and the NYT, just noticed. That says more about you than it does her.

Dude, are you always such an @sshole? Let's see, You have acknowledged the views of Liberals or a Democrat Politician as being valid and worth respect when? Never? Of course not. No wonder you mindless drones drive so many independents away from taking the TP etc... seriously.
So when someone who is niether Dem not Lib but definitely no fan of Sarah, comes across and acknowledges something to admire in her, what do you do?
Dale Carnegie institute graduate are you?

yeah. You're post says a bit about you too.

Since I choose Quantum Windbag as a user name I see no need to prove either independence or logic. You, on the other hand, need to prove both, and fail miserably.

By the way, Sarah is a fucking idiot, so your admiration of her impresses me even less than your admiration of Obama. That means that, again, I have n o need to prove anything, and can simply have fun being an asshole. A real asshole, not one with 1337 so as not to offend the _|3|?|<$.

Ah. So what you're saying is that being an assh0le is just who you are. Well, interesting choice. Okay! Your perogative.

 

[IndependntLogic]

Wow. Just how much more stupid can you be? Do you even know what a speechwriter does? I'll give you a clue.... they don't create the content, they create the words, you dumb fucking bitch.

It's no wonder this country is a fuck up... people like you vote.

Um hmmm. After seeing how gracefully you handle differing opinions, I'm wondering whether to mention that speechwriters actually do create content. They're given a subject or issue. They're responsible for knowing the candidate's stance on it and write the best thing they can. Then the politician etc... will edit it to their liking.

Not saying that's the case here because frankly, I haven't paid much attention to anything Palin says for years - with the exception of the occasional gaffe, which I enjoy from Dems, Repubs or whomever.
So I don't know if her rhetoric has been gradually getting more intelligent that the Dumb as a Rock candidate I saw in 2008, or if this is just a new speechwriter or if it's a case of somewhere in between.
I just happened across something that was worth giving her a genuine compliment about. Since I prefer to compliment than insult, I thought I'd post it!

"that dumb as a rock candidate"

Just what the fuck does that say about YOU, slapdick?

Well it means I can admit when I make mistakes. Right here on the board and right in front of everyone. It means I can acknowledge or even agree with opposing views or people without being a complete dick about it - unlike your response, for example.

This would be two things that are what the f*ck it says about me, that you can't say about yourself - because you're just too weak of character. It's okay. The board needs weaklings too!
Hugs and Kisses, Your New BFF!

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

After reading this thread I've determined two things.

1. Talkin about Sarah is like bringing up religion in a bar. (doesnt end well)

2. Damn she's hot.



Ps. I do believe she is smart. I ain't all pig. But damn she is hot. Lol

Even a blind monkey finds a banana once in a while especially if said monkey has handlers leading him to the banana tree

You finally looked in a mirror!!!! Oh and with you, three times in a row being wrong..... that's per minute........

 

[MeBelle]

I have a question... mainly because I cannot be arsed to find out for myself... is the NYT under new ownership?

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/03/business/media/03paper.html?_r=2&hp

Does 'new' Editor count? Since June anyhow..

[theDoctorisIn]

Credit where it's due, I agree with Sarah Palin on this.

I'm kind of shocked, actually.

There is no reason to be shocked. Sarah has a very common sense perception of how politics work and she has a keen sense of detecting corruption. The media ignored Palins excellent fiscal record in Alaska and her taking on corruption within government and corporations and instead created a negative perception of her in order to make Obama look good in the eyes of the voters. All of the sudden the media is starting to report who the real Sarah Palin is and how she is calling out crony capitalism. Actually everyone is shocked that the New York Times are doing positive articles on her.

No, I am saying you are a jerk if you think I am an asshole, but I do not take your inability to think personally. You, on the other hand, seem to take my not saying nice things about Democrats personally. Not sure why, since I also do not say nice things about Republicans. If you really are independent you would actually notice that.

As I said earlier, the fact that you fail to notice says more about you than it does me.

Obama said some good things before he was elected, So did Bush.

I think she is getting all Mavericky on us again?

 

[Lakhota]

Palin knew she had to come up with some new material - because the old shit wasn't working.

She has lots of free time, and plenty of help, to think this shit up.

Her new shit plays better to a wider audience.

But I bet the retarded old Sarah is still in there...

What do you mean old shit? This material is what got Palin elected mayor then governor.

 

[theliq]

Its a bit Rich coming from her as thats been her and the Republicans modus-operandi for years and years.
To say Palin has the answer for America......is putting it mildly, obsurd.

Anyway this was all thought up by her back room buddies and she was coached to make these utterances.

She is not that intelligent as her past proves...Good for America...Nuh,No Way.

This was from that Liberal Rag, the New York Times. For the first time since I can remember, she's said something I find really great.

[tinydancer]

When she wrote a book called, "Going Rouge by Lynn Vincent", she proved the value of her literary credentials.

I want her to write a history book. I never knew Paul Revere rode to warn the British and one of our founding fathers was only 9 years old. Or maybe he was a "foundling". Well, that's why she needs to write that book.

Everyone in the Colonies was a British subject at the time. They were all from Britain you idiot.
