Excerpts of Sarah Palin?s Speech to Investors in Hong Kong

[DealMonkey]

I threw up a little in my mouth at all of this breathless worship of Sarah Palin. She is truly the messiah, the one, the last great stupid hope for social conservatives everywhere. PJabber either belongs to that group (and has yet to admit it) or has a serious MILF obsession. Either way, it's not healthy dude, not healthy. Maybe switch over to the Huckabee show for a moment and stop all of the fevered Google News searches for "Palin + Going Rogue."

With all that gunk in your mouth I should think you would cut back on the heavy mouth breathing!

Palin is not the last great hope for social conservatives and I don't believe she is the first choice either. However, she does very strongly appeal to any number of populists as well as libertarians and, of course, conservatives of all types. In other words, she might be appealing to a broader base than the current social welfare liberals that form the core of the Democrat Party.

Palin has clearly demonstrated that she can connect with most people who have started seeing that the current collection of politicians in office need to be retired as soon as possible.

As I was driving home from work today I was listening to a commentator saying that there are a number of state and national groups forming that are advocating a platform of removing incumbents of all stripes. The unifying theme of these organizations is "Vote Them All Out!" Palin will appeal to this crowd, I am sure, whether she runs or not.

Congressional Job Approval Polls

Many Congressional seats were won by Democrats riding Obama's coattails. Those coattails are very short now, aren't they? Who knows how the low approval rating for Congress will translate in the 2010 elections, but it is interesting to look at the polling and consider the options.

I would guess 1 - 3 would be in the average range, considering that lots of students first take 2 years of community college and then transfer for the last two. If you get a masters that adds one. A doctorate adds one more, but at that level I doubt you are much able to make a contribution to the general welfare. (Just kidding! - I mean lawyers, political scientists, and the other bums that get hung first in a revolution.)

I went to one undergraduate college and three graduate universities in the US (including Harvard for a spell :laugh and one overseas.

But I NEVER made $300,000 per speech or got a $7 million advance for anything that I ever wrote!

And, sure as hell, I ain't making squat wasting my precious word count on you ignoramuses!

Hell, looking at those numbers I better get myself back to collitch for some more of that book larnin'!!!

Give me a break, Palin worship is no where near the level of Obama worship. At least we don't see some conservative principal making children sing about Palin.

Are you saying she's a quitter?

And this is something new? Maybe new for you? This has been the rallying cry of "both sides suck equally!" dipshits for decades now. :roll:

Among rabid Palin social conservatives it is. They formed a PAC in her name FFS.

Old news plus I wonder who wrote her right wing talking points speech using all those "big" words

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I for one appreciate Republicans' strange insistence on promoting Sarah Palin. If she were a member of my party I'd keep her as far from a microphone as possible. She and her willfully ignorant, anti-intellectual ilk are, as David Brooks said, a cancer on the Republican party, and to the extent the party chooses to make her a focal point it deserves to continue foundering.

too bad she is so detached from the facts and reality. the only fear to be had of sarah palin is that someone with her worldview would attain major office, which is very unlikely

As a conservative, she is definitely something for me to be afraid of, not that she could win a national election, but rather that she further dirties the principles and standards we should vie for. She is a dream for the DNC.

Intelligent Americans are tired of dirty and/or stupid politicians from both parties. We need some substance, and Quittin' Palin is just nowhere near good enough.

Seriously - I'm tired of all the Palin-hate, but she has a failed vice-presidential bid, resigns as governor of fucking Alaska, and then the Chinese pay her $300k to go give a speech about her views on common sense?

Tell them I'm available to speak in 2010.

In my mind, its really not really the Sarah Palin position here, its a matter of the audience. Namely the investor class, who rise on the fact of good investments, and fall on the fact of bad investments that wipe out their wealth if they bet on the wrong horse.

After being badly burned by the financial crisis of 2008, its hard to believe that the investor class will be swayed by a simple feel good speech by Palin. Especially when they partly lost their damn asses believing in over hyped assets.

Various world government bailouts helped keep them partially whole, but they cannot believe that another such something for nothing will be met with another government bailout. The train done left that station before Palin opened her mouth.

In short, Palin's audience may have given her a polite listen. but will they put their money where Palin's mouth is?

I'm not sure why the speech wasn't made by Obama, after all he had made like 300+ speeches in the last few days and why not fly to Hong Kong for one more.

Obama knows investors and business, he is running GM, Chrysler, AIG and most of the big banks in the US in his free time and this young rookie isn't satisfied, he now wants to run health care not to mention being the dictator of the world.

I have NO doubt that President Obama could write his own speech if necessary. Do you think Palin could write her own speech?

Yes. Why not?

Yes. Why not?

Because she doesn't know anything that savvy investors might want to hear nor has she demonstrated any interest in the past on learning anything of the sort, nor of having any intellectual curiousity or capability for deep thinking at all? I'm sure she could write "a speech." I just don't think it would amount to anything other than blathering inanities, generalities and homespun anecdotes about "real" people. It wouldn't be well structured, her command of vocabulary and diction is, to be polite, less than impressive, and people who do not write for a living or were not trained to write tend to not write very well. It would probably sound something like her rambling incoherent abdication speech. Ever read a paper authored by an average college student? That's what her speech would sound like.

I'm not saying she's an idiot, she has some obvious interpersonal and political skills and was elected governor of a state; she's not braindead imo. But crafting coherent communicative language is not among her skills.

Ahhhhh! Thanks Sarah! Now I know what caused the economic collapse! It was government policies twisting the arms of lenders so they'd give 500k mortgages to people earning 40k per year. Gotta get everybody into a house, and if the cheap houses run out, sell the McMansions to those making minimum wage.
