Was Palin's speech nothing but empty angry Rhetoric?

Question

A shill, angry, tirade about nothing.

What issues did she cover?

What about gas prices? What about health care and the raise cost of food?

Jobs?

How come they did not say anything about what Americans are going thorough right now.?

Sounding more and more like 4 more years of the last 8 years, a lot of flag waving and rhetoric.

Answer 1

I didn't get the sense that it was ANGRY.

But it was totally empty. Same ole baseless attacks. Same ole rhetoric.

She read it pretty well, that is all I can say.  

Answer 2

She is a Flip Flopper like her Pres candidate.. They don't care about the regular guy and gal on the street. She only wants to advance her own self and family. She had the nerve to say her husband was of aleut eskimo heritage but has done nothing for them.. Give me a break some of the most economically and culturally challenged people in alaska..

It is their land they want to drill oil on but the native people will get nothing as usual.. same old same..

Answer 3

lol i didn't see any anger at all, in fact i thought the DNC was just a rant against bush. it was like a tape recorder being played over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. wait..tell me that wasn't just the same speech 5 min ago.  

Answer 4

Nope nope nope nope nope

Go McCain

Answer 5

This part of both conventions is to rally the troops. To gear everyone up for a long political battle.

At the DNC - everything was hopes & dreams - no details. Lots of what is wrong 7 how everything is the Republicans fault.

At the RNC - it is what is right with America & how to make it better. Why 6 years of Democrats controlling Congress has hurt us.

The time for issues start on Monday - I do not know what the Democrats are waiting for as their convention was over last week.

Oh! the word is shrill & Palin's voice is never shrill - the high pitch is missing. Tirade you know already.

Answer 6

For a person who claims to be a Washington outsider. She sure knows how to speak like a beltway veteran. Same old tired rhetoric but now plans on what she would do as vice pres.

Answer 7

Why don't you get off your butt and get yourself a job?

She didn't look very angry to me. She looked like she was enjoying herself. She looked comfortable and composed.

But I bet you were pretty angry.

Hahahahahahahahahaha.

Answer 8

Wow ... you have multiple standards don't you?

Obama hasn't addressed those ... now he has side stepped and danced around questions .... maybe he should be on some dance show ... and you could be his partner ....

Answer 9

She did her job. Energize the base, show she can give a good speech, show she has spunk.

Issues will be covered by the Presidential candidate Mccain just like Obama covered the issues instead of Biden.

Answer 10

A lot of cheep shots and outright B.S. She's a cheerleader. Her career is over if her ticket loses.

Answer 11

yep yep yep yep yep

Go Obama.

Answer 12

As a repub convention speech usually equals nothing but empty rhetoric (sprinkled with unsupported attacks on whomever doesn't follow their communal policies to the letter and intermixed with partisan backslaps) then yes, I would say it was nothing but empty, angry rhetoric.

Good question, btw...thanks.

Answer 13

the only anger I heard is coming from YOU -

good luck dealing with your November 5 depression

Answer 14

if she didn't lift a finger and do another thing for america, she would have accomplished more than obama ever could.  

mccain/pilan

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Answer 15

it sounded like what they always slam Obama about...

except Obama talks about a lot more issues than Palin did tonight...

I think Obama talked about 27 issues in his acceptance speech... Palin I think touched on 3...

Answer 16

your right they should have went with the empty promises with no way to actually accomplish them like obama did.

since your going to thumbs down this for not agreeing with you heres a little example to show your a hack

Obama said he will insure EVERYONE has a college education.  Ok everyone huh impressive how is that possible.  then he says we will bring back manufacturing jobs.  interesting because after I went to college I didnt want to go to work in a factory.  if everyone has a college degree who will be working in the factory again.

then he says he will end ALL DEPENDENCY on foreign oil in 10 years.  interesting because he doesnt think we should drill and EVERY SINGLE estimate says that if we maxed out all capabilities of renewable source currently available we could only replace 22% of our dependence.  So yea 10 years sounds like as good a number as any doesnt it.

Then he said he would end all programs that are not working.... really name one. because in you (SHORT) time in the senate you havent championed the ending of ONE SINGLE PROGRAM.  Does he not know its the CONGRESS THAT DECIDES THE BUDGET?

Answer 17

Absolutely, It was empty, the only thing they could come with was attacking the Dems, and they went on about how great McCain is,  otherwise they had nothing to say.

What can the Reps say?, they can't go off their past experience, they have to disassociate from the leaders in their own party, and they make claims they'll clean up government mismanagement that are currently also their own  party.. so what have they got?



I think Palin's popularity will deminish very rapidly, I've lost interest in her already.

Answer 18

Vote for Marcia Brady Class President!

I love how no one is to talk about her family but she trots out her pg daughters boyfriend? How low class. She needs to stay back up into the mountains.

Answer 19

Well...all she really did was read it from the teleprompter.

She even read the part where she accepted the nomination even though it doesn't even get voted on till tomorrow (I guess the Republicans wanted to kick her tires first, and the writers forgot to scratch that out).

But it was pretty much pablum...except she announced that McCain has flip flopped and now wants to drill in ANWAR.

The crowd, die-hard Republicans every one, seemed underwhelmed.

They may pull her plug yet.

Answer 20

"Was Palin's speech nothing but empty angry Rhetoric?"

No, you must be talking about NObama and Wright.  NObama is just learning how to lose.

Palin is a Governor.

NObama cleans up parks.  Experienced?  Not in this life time!

Dawg Hous, go back to Athens, GA with your commie red flag.  Flying the Red, White and Blue will be too much for you!
