Cuz that would have been cool! Sadly, she may go the way of Dan Quayle. Intelligent, witty, but the media is just killing her. However, now, unlike Quayle's time, being crucified by the media touches on a trigger for the GOP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 09:47 PM) Wow. hits a nerve? Soft spot? The GOP attack on the "liberal" "biased" media is far more organized and ingrained in the GOP faithful. An entire generation has grown up with the indoctrination since Quayle's time. The GOP had issues with the media in 1990, but there was some balance with the "vast right wing conspiracy". Scream media bias in 1990 and people said "what's that?". Scream media bias in 2009 and GOP become rabid dogs. I find her as intelligent, if not more so, than most other politicians. I thought Quayle was very smart. His written stuff is far, far, better than his off the cuff ad libs. Edited July 10, 2009 by Tex Balta explained the Wow. Not what I thought.

lostfan Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Where do people get the idea that she is intelligent? After reading and watching her I'm 100% convinced I could run circles around her on international affairs, I'm no economics expert by any means but I know she would probably have trouble keeping up with me in a discussion, and I'm pretty sure I know the Constitution better than she does. Oh, and I can construct consecutive sentences in English. She obviously has better political instincts than I do and that's about it. And I'm nobody special. She gets around this by mocking intellectuals, and people buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nixon Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) If by political instincts you mean to say that she sexually arouses the old white republicans who make decisions at the GOP then yeah, I suppose you'd have to grant her that. Maybe she'll raise an army of zombie christian voters for the next election cycle. It's been so long since we had a fundamentalist s*** bag in the white house so that'd be a nice change of pace.

That was a diplomatic way of saying she has boobs and I don't.

She gets around this by mocking intellectuals, and people buy it. I agree. Part of that is a schtick of course, which makes it worse, because she's mocking the people whose support she gains by hamming up the hick act. But part of it is, I really think she's just not the sharpest crayon in the box. I think she is charismatic at times, and I think she's gifted in the sense of social networking (she's the neighborhood gossiper who gets people to support her and they have no idea why), but that is the main reason for it. She really doesn't come off to me as some great intellect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHen McCain's people were lookign for a VP, he name was presented to them. The 3 things they noticed about her... 1) She's poised 2) She hits back hard 3) "Wow..... just look at her" Notice NOTHING about knowledge or policy making ability, but sex appeal was #3.

Nixon Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) Poised is just code for she looks nice. #2 is just that she's feisty and thus it could be extended to her being a firecracker in the sack. Edited July 10, 2009 by Nixon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
