that little ploy just turned off half of the American electorate. And the male half that thinks with a brain didn't fall for it either.

1. Somewhere in my brain is an old Beverly Hillbillies show where
Granny is constantly winking. That's what Palin reminded me of - a comedy show.

2. I don't think the 'Say it ain't so Joe...there you go again' worked for her either
Attempting to channel Ronnie doesn't seem to work.

4. It will definitely turn some people off.
She did the same type of thing at least three times.

21. way too obviously rehearsed and in the can for the "right" moment.
Reagan rehearsed it also, you can bet on it, but he pulled it off because he is a better actor and because it was original. I suspect many Reagan fans winced a bit.

22. Yeah, she asked up front, "May I call you Joe?"
And called him Joe only once, in that canned crap line she was waiting all night to say.

What a poser fake winking smirking ass.

Also not answering the questions. I could almost write the script right now.

31. You ought to start a separate thread with that concept
writing Tina Fey's Saturday night script. It would be a riot. I hope you do this.

10. You're 100% right.
The lady of the house literally threw something at the TV every time Palin winked.

It's a condescending ploy and it will cost her.

14. There's like 1.5 men for every woman in Alaska
So of course she's used to playing to a largely male audience.

Unofrtunately for her, women make up a slight majority of the overall electorate in America.

15. Palin could wink all day, times are far to serious for me to fall for that, for me personally.

19. She acted like a bimbo, and I, for one, think it will backfire.
I think the American public is very concerned about the problems this country faces, and I think they want someone who can act like a grown up and not a stupid beauty queen. (no offense to all the intelligent beauty queens out there).

24. That wink came from the following question
How would you change Washington??

And her answer is she would __________ (fill in the blanks)

thats what that wink means, how demeaning and low grade of her.

She is way out of her league on this one, I gaurantee you that.


LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE DEMOCRATS HAVE JUST TAKEN BACK EVERYTHING!

THE WHITE HOUSE, THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE


GOBAMA !

26. I wanted to poke her in the other eye...and give her something to wink about.
Edited on Thu Oct-02-08 11:21 PM by Barrymores Ghost
That crap will fly with drunken NASCAR assholes and maybe some frat-rats, and that's about it...and those idiots are voting for her already.

What a silly bint.

30. And she has the nerve to attempt to place herself in the same league as HRC
HRC would never EVER wink during a debate!!! And she wouldn't want special rules or notecards, either. :puke:
