Palin is speaking but no one has applauded yet- doing her 'energy speech

[Ichingcarpenter]

She is waiting for applause lines, nothing yet. She had her speech coach help her on this because
her accent is not as thick.

[billyoc]

1. OK, I clapped. Now what?

:rofl:

[Ichingcarpenter]

7. Drill Baby Drill..... Haven't heard that yet.... only one applause so far

from you and the crowd. It was polite but not enthusiastic.

[billyoc]

19. Cool. I don't want anybody calling me sexist.

God, I hate that frontier tart.

[Ichingcarpenter]

She just said it....... No one applauded.... drill here drill now and drill baby drill

Yikes, she is making mistakes too in this speech.

[polichick]

2. Wow, even "the faithful" are onto her??

[fed_up_mother]

3. Somebody else writes a speech, and she gets credit for a "policy speech" BLECH

Yeah, right.

[H2O Man]

4. She looks tired.

Lying takes its toll.

[Ilsa]

31. She sounds tired too. nt

[Ikonoklast]

5. "Squawk, squawk!" says the parrot.

This woman is clueless about so many things, and energy is one of them.

She sounds like she's close to crying.

[H2O Man]

8. "close to crying"

Yep. She seems to be experiencing a little difficulty in delivering this speech.

[Tatiana]

6. What's she saying (for the cuberats)? n/t

[Ichingcarpenter]

10. Blah.. Blah Blah.... then blah pipeline, blah Biden, pipeline blah

Only one applause so far

[NatBurner]

12. some gibberish about alaskan pipelines

talking about good ole boy networks and "inferstructures"

what a dolt

[Courtesy Flush]

9. It pisses me off when they talk energy

With all the new technology out there, the GOP defines "energy" as oil! Sure, we need oil. We're going to need it for a long time, but at some point we'd better have alternatives.

[tallahasseedem]

11. This is painful...

someone give her the hook.

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. Painful and poorly delivered- she is rushing through it.

Only one applause so far.

[H2O Man]

15. The confidence is gone.

A shakey bitterness has replaced it.

[Ichingcarpenter]

20. Do you know where this speech is and who the crowd is?

Really poor speech using fear and hate as a solution to the energy problem

[H2O Man]

27. Toledo, Ohio.

I'm not sure who, if anyone, is actually there.

[Ichingcarpenter]

33. Good Grief she just said the Canadians were like the Chinese with

the environment.

[CJCRANE]

13. I noticed a huge polar bear instead of a flag pin...

and also she has run on sentences - it isn't always clear where one sentence ends and another begins.

[tallahasseedem]

16. Jeezus...

It is so obvious she is reading off a teleprompter, and doing it BADLY.

[MaineDem]

17. Ha Ha... She said "We see Russia now"

:rofl:

Not the best choice of words. I wonder if the speechwriter was having some fun?

[hatrack]

18. Has she mentioned the Divinely Ordained Natgas Pipeline . . .

You know, the one that doesn't exist?

:eyes:

[Morning Dew]

22. oh yeah - What's the timeline for that to come on line? Decades, right?

[DLR2003]

21. Palin is a joke

Listen, I don't want to be the woman who can't give credit to
another woman trying to work her way up, but sorry, Palin is
such a Joke!  For the life of me I can't figure out why
Republicans see her as this charismatic/reformer.  Clearly she
is a talented politician to have climbed her way up the
political ladder, but would they really entrust our country
and our stature around the world to Palin? Has Bush so
thwarted their sense of self that Palin now seems like a
savor? Chill Baby Chill is my mantra.  

[MaineDem]

26. "Chill Baby Chill"

I love it.

I share your sentiments.

And welcome to DU. :hi:

[pdxmom]

23. She has no solutions. This is only about oil, not energy security. She's

trying to make it sound like we have plenty of oil/gas to take over for our foreign imports. Not a word about alternate energy sources.

This is rambling garbage.

[nc4bo]

24. There I was humming along viewing Sullivan's video list and then POW

there she is.........Be Gone evil spirit!

She sounds very un-Vice Presidential.

[Morning Dew]

25. Good Lord, she makes shrub look like an eloquent speaker

Painful, painful.

[ROh70]

42. Her speech is one long run-on sentence.

She needs to learn how to pause during her speeches.

Quick - do you remember anything she said from that speech?

[Ilsa]

28. NU-KU-LAR. Just like Shrub. Why anyone

would believe her when she speaks of anything related to science is beyond me. She is science illiterate, which is amazing considering her father was a science teacher.

[ComtesseDeSpair]

29. Her "Base" Only Loves Her...

When she's attacking someone. It feeds their hate. They don't want to hear about this boring energy shmenergy stuff - let's talk about A-rabs and Terrists!

[olegramps]

39. I agree, her line should be I feel your hatred!

[pdxmom]

30. Wait a sec! She's touting more Alaska drilling, aka as ANWAR. Isn't

this something that McCain is against? Has he changed his position? Is she speaking for both of them, or just for herself? I think we have another flip-flop from the McPalin campaign.

[RockaFowler]

32. What's so great about Nuculear

We have a nuculear plant about 2 miles from us in St Lucie County. Uh, our rates are still high through FPL - as a matter of fact - they are going up.

[Lakerstan]

34. *** Crickets ***

[Ikonoklast]

35. If she says 'also' one more freakin' time, I'm gonna kick something

Also.

[nc4bo]

37. don't forget "though" and "too". Grammar queen she is not. nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

36. This speech isn't gonna help her or McCain .... man this is bad

For one thing she is talking oil at a solar company

[olegramps]

38. The wolves are anxiously waiting.

When McCain and his sidekick get thoroughly defeated taking down the whole damn Republican Party they will throw Sarah Palin to the wolves. Sarha's Armageddon is closer than she imagines.

[ROh70]

40. Boring and confusing speech.

When she talked about the Alaska pipeline issue, it sounded like she had no clue what she was talking about, as she didn't put the right emphasis on words to help the audience understand her. She clearly is no policy wonk.

[sfam]

41. Sarah Palin: "Yes We Can" do it...

Someone needs to tell her there has already been a lot of money invested in that phrase by another candidate...

She just said that "This is America. We need to say, "Yes we can" get energy independence.

[nc4bo]

43. Yea, I caught that too. nt

[cayuga]

44. This is why there is no applause

Saraccuda is speaking at a solar energy company:

[hatrack]

45. Wow. Just . . . wow. The Stupid is strong with this campaign.

:eyes:

[Tatiana]

46. OMG... freaking unreal. Talk about a potentially hostile audience... n/t

[Tatiana]

47. Thanks to everyone for keeping the cuberats updated! n/t
