You know what? I have know you for a long time in this boards Dbates and don't start just turning like the rest of the crowd that has joined this site lately to just bash anybody that do not fall on party lines.

That goes for both parties

That is one of the things that bothers me the most in ATS since the last election year.

That the bickering and propaganda behind some of the threads in this board has gotten out of hand.

At least I am neutral this time around and I thanks all those that has brought good post on addressing the issue of how our so call politician brilliant speeches are not of their creation.

Is always a brilliant writer behind the so call brilliant speeches.

And all the credit should not go to the politicians.

Plain and simple.

If that makes me a liberal to you so beat it

Thanks for bringing the issue of beauty so far the "how hot she is and how pretty she is" is getting the best our of me as a voter.

It seems that it the whole issue of bringing her into McCain side was to get attention I imagine that Rove mind was brilliant as the rumors are that he was the one that suggested to bring her as VP.

(I have to research more on that one)

Because McCain is neither young, hot or pretty, and Obama was hugging all the attention.

That alone will be one of the reasons Palin was chosen, just to help McCain look pretty.

I agree that we really don't know when was the last time that our "brilliant spoken politicians" actually wrote anything.

That would be a good issue, to find out who of them is actually a great writer.

at the DNC get together, I watched the pundits talk about the fact that Bill Clinton's speech was a loose outline on a legal pad, and that he planned to deliver his speech rather impromptu and not using the teleprompters. Of course he's a long time professional politician and one of the best at delivering a speech. Still I found that rather impressive.

The result was that the speech reflected Bill Clinton as a person far more than if he would have read one line for line on the prompter. I wonder, and guess we will never know, what Palin would have truly reflected had she of delivered a genuine speech created by her herself? I know she had the opportunity to edit out some of the major faux pa we saw in the one she had (such as insulting the honor and noble efforts of community service workers all over the nation), but apparently didn't think it was important and went on with them, so maybe that's our hint and sneak preview at what she is really like?

She’s not just running for VP of the white, wealthy elites, she would be representing ALL of the people and just how do you do that by insulting a large portion of them? Wow, if she can’t pass the muster on speech editing, what does this tell us about her larger capabilities?

I very much agree with you. If you want to gauge a politician's intellectual capacities, listen to how they speak extemporaneously, not what they say in set-piece speeches, which are rarely if ever their own words.

Clinton indeed is a master at off-the-cuff speaking, as was JFK. Also Tony Blair; whatever you think of his politics, he is very smart and extremely well-spoken.

As for the current final four--none of them is all that impressive. Biden is a windbag and loves to hear himself speak, Obama also likes the sound of his own voice, though I just don't get the giddy euphoria over his speeches, and McCain has been on autopilot for over a decade. Palin? Well, I just can't get past seeing Elaine on Seinfeld to actually listen to what she's saying, and it will doubtless stay that way.

I know I'm late chiming in here, but I'm not surprised one bit it was Bush's speech writer.
Especially the part that she says -
Quote: “Here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion,” she said. “I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country.”

That is the part that scares me the most, but knowing who wrote it, it's the most telling.

Bingo!

It seems she doesn't even know what the VP DOES!
Don't believe me? Here ya go:


This brings up a good question.... If she doesn't even know what the VP is supposed to do...How is she going to know what to do as President if something happens to McCain?

Very frightening thought.

What exactly scares you? The fact that Sarah Palin intends to serve the public, or the fact that she refuses to pander to the liberal MSM?

I know you weren't addressing me..
BUT
What scares me the most, is she doesn't even know what the VP does.. The job she is running for......Palin said it, not me. Don't shoot the messenger.
See the video in my above post.

I can't get the pic to show so here's the link

This is all I think of when I see her. Well, her and Tina Fey from SNL. I hope they bring her back she'd be a riot.

The problem is JS that nobody this days can tell Who was the last politician in Washington that actually work of the people of this nation.

See I guess you are forgetting who rules Washington politicians.
