Can't think without a teleprompter.

Re: Can't think without a teleprompter.

Keeping notes so you don't forget the things you want to make sure to touch on is "cheating?"

well mostly i think its hypocritical that in the same place she would have a pre-written speech making fun of obama for using a teleprompter she would also need pre-written answers for pre-written questions.

but yes, i think she cheated, because its the same things she's been muttering since mccain picked her. oh 'rein in spending' 'energy' 'low taxes'. these had to be written down to remember again? i wonder where she wrote down there were 2 koreas in case that came up in the lightning round. if she cant remember the answer to a staged question (let alone think on her own) she cant be president. sorry.

look, i understand this is going to be split down party lines. no real surprise here. so i'm not trying to get into a convincing match with people who have their mind made up, or with anyone who thinks they have a shot to use 'pick up artist' skills from VH1 to bang her. but God help us if she wins, and as a country, we'll get what we deserve.
 
Re: Can't think without a teleprompter.

If she's that dumb she doesn't have a chance at election

When roughly 50% of the population is below average, being an idiot isn't a hinderance to public office. There's no IQ requirement to vote.

This is where you guys lose me. You're fine with the socialist as President, because he has an Ivy League education? Personally, I'd rather have the dumb (aka state U education) capitalist running things. There is always the chance she picks credible advisors, while the socialists is just going to pick more socialists for his team.
 
Re: Can't think without a teleprompter.

What is it about Palin that scares the heck out of people anyway. If she's that dumb she doesn't have a chance at election and it helps Obama chances at reelection. Lord knows he's going to need it

She's a good looking woman who speaks her mind and her opinions aren't those of in the majority of Congress and the White House. See also Bachmann, Michelle. They need to be more lady-like and listen to men.

Bingo. Additionally, good looking women aren't allowed to be taken seriously. So says the feminists who still have a chip on their shoulder because they were the ugly ducklings who didn't get a date to the prom, but they were gonna show the popular girls a thing or two down the road and their degrees from Wellesley and Vassar are the proof that they're better and smarter!

Besides, all that talk about working moms being workplace heroes was just that - talk. Any real woman has maybe one kid, tops, and has had at least one abortion in order to earn a little street cred.

Conservative women are expected to be docile by their liberal counterparts. Anything more and they become... well, witchy.

I think its close. Palin by and large is the personification of the person they've trained themselves to hate. You couldn't create a more perfect example and in that it brings out the worst in some people.

blah blah blah, sean hannity. i get it; you dont like black people. go learn about what socialism really is and stopping waste my time with the more laughable parts of your post.

and where did i mention education? being intelligent and going to college are completely different things (See George Bush, or take you for example).
 
Re: Can't think without a teleprompter.

Is it bad for a politician to have notes? What if at a presidential debate one candidate carried a binder out? It's not like the other candidate without the binder somehow miraculously knows everything in his/her head. It's the same notes everyone and their advisers have already gone over.

Now, writing on your hand in ink -- that photo's legit, right? -- is a little bizarre. But having notes? I don't have a problem with it.
 
Re: Can't think without a teleprompter.

You fools. It clearly reads "I am tired of these jokes about my giant hand. The first such incidents occurred in 1956 when..."

Yeah, I guess they did elect Obama

You already know she won't be president and you already know you're right so what does she matter?

No one is afraid of her, but as long as she continues to make public appearances she's opening herself up. You really think if Clinton went on FOX or MSNBC and did/said something stupid it would be ignored? Are people afraid of Al Gore or is he just a nincompoop that on occasion draws legitimate criticism?

If we really want to play stupid political games, conversely one could ask, "Why does criticism of her get some people so riled up?". And I find it ludicrous anyone would accuse rufus of being completely one-sided with you two running around.

Now to be clear I feel the, "writing on her hand" event is much ado about nothing but sadly this is the world in which we currently live.

Winner. Great reference.

BTW, yet another point to Palin. Roofy's probably stamping his feet over this, too.

Re: Can't think without a teleprompter.

I read the thread title and assumed it was a bout Obama. Oops. :eek:

Yeah, that's it. it couldn't be because she's dumb as a post, and used her office and power to enrich herself and her cronies to the detriment of her constituents. You guys all salivate over her cause you fantasize about banging her.

Nah. It has to be cause she's an outspoken good-lookin'(opinions vary) woman.

As is the whole faux outrage about Obama and teleprompters. Which was pretty much my point in posting this.
 
Re: Can't think without a teleprompter.

Remember kids.

5 words worth of notes on a hand = entire speeches on a teleprompter in places where extemporaneous speeches are the norm
 
Re: Can't think without a teleprompter.

Further, it's laughable to see rufus calling anyone "dumb as a post." Pot, meet kettle.
