As editor, it is my policy not allow negative comments following any article I post with regard to Sarah Palin. An antagonist under the name of "Anonymous" (there are so many of these Lefties running around hiding behind anonymous comments), posts this article, critical of a very recent speech by the Governor. He assumes he understands my support of the First Lady (Sarah Palin). Turns out, he has no clue, but, be that as it may, the reader should know that Palin's most recent speech was a convoluted rhetorical event. My only criticism of this wonderful and committed woman is her manner of speech. I wish she would not attempt to be funny, in her speeches. She is often, quite humorous, but her attempts at same, can be very detracting, as well.
On "doctrine" and the history of this great nation, and her insistence that the teaparty is a movement, not an institution, all of that, she is right as no one in conservative leadership is.
My point? The criticism of her last speech is something she needs to hear.
As far as the demeaning conclusion to statement by Anonymous, that is the only way this Progressive "I hate America" pundit, thinks.

Conservative reaction to Palin's weekend speech:
Following Palin’s Saturday speech, Washington Examiner columnist Byron York — described by former Palin adviser Nicolle Wallace as one of her “staunchest supporters” — spoke with conservative activists who attended the speech, few of whom had anything good to say about the one-time GOP star or her speech.
Sam Clovis, a conservative Iowa college professor and radio commentator claimed it is now hard to take Palin seriously.
“I know she is popular, but it is hard to take her seriously given that performance,” Clovis said. “Palin was a sad story Saturday. With every speech she gives, she gets worse and worse. If one were playing a political cliche drinking game, no one would have been sober after the first 15 minutes of an interminable ramble. It was really painful.”
Another attendee, described by York as “a well-connected Iowa Republican” was less impressed, saying Palin has reached the end of “shelf-life.”
“Calling Gov. Palin’s remarks bizarre and disjointed would be charitable,” he said. “Her shelf-life, even with the most conservative voters in our party, seems to be near the end. In a day filled with strong performances from likely candidates ranging from Scott Walker to Ted Cruz, her remarks were a distraction.”
Writing on the Iowa Republican blog, Craig Robinson said he had a hard time finding anyone who reacted positively to Palin’s speech.
“Of all the people I talked to about Palin’s speech, only one person didn’t have a negative reaction. That person basically said it was a typical Sarah Palin speech. It was received poorly by everyone else I spoke with, ” he wrote. ” I’m not comfortable sharing everything I heard about the speech — it was that bad.”
Robinson concluded “No offense to Gov. Palin, but I do think it is problematic to have someone give a speech like that in the midst of a string of serious speeches by people who are seriously thinking about running for president. Palin made a guy like Trump look like a serious presidential candidate today. Incredible.”

This is the type of leadership and intellect revered by this blogger.
It's over.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin’s odd, rambling speech last weekend before an audience of committed conservative activists in Des Moines has many influential voices on the right saying that the time has come to acknowledge that the romance has gone cold and the marriage is dead.
This is despite the fact that the 2008 GOP vice-presidential nominee told reporters upon her arrival at the event that she is “seriously interested” in running for president in 2016.
Her address was a 34 1/2 -minute roller coaster ride of cliches, non sequiturs and warmed-over grievances. One line that stood out: “GOP leaders, by the way, you know, ‘The Man,’ can only ride ya when your back is bent. So strengthen it. Then The Man can’t ride ya.”
The critiques have been devastating — and those are the ones from her friends.

Still, there will be elderly conservative males simply mesmerized by her waning good looks, who completely ignore the brain
The opinion of one man . . . . . . as far as Sarah's political life being over. She tried to be funny, and failed. That is all that happened. Nothing more. Her fans are still with her. There are lots of good looking women, dude, but few of them are libbers and free love types. I think you are just a leeeettle bit jealous. I mean, what do you have to look at, Maxine Waters and Green Peace crowd?
