What does Palin say or mean?

When asked about her ideas for an alternative health plan other than the. ACA Palin said:


Said Palin: "The plan is to allow those things that had been proposed over many years to reform a health-care system in America that certainly does need more help so that there's more competition, there's less tort reform threat, there's less trajectory of the cost increases, and those plans have been proposed over and over again. And what thwarts those plans? It's the far left. It's President Obama and his supporters who will not allow the Republicans to usher in free market, patient-centered, doctor-patient relationship links to reform health care."


What did Palin mean by this comprehensive answer?

It's a train-wreck of thought.

No, not that. I don't think there's thought there, i think her brain is just telling her mouth "Make words, make words, make words, make words aaaaaand stop"

.... that have absolutely no relation to each other, yet are in the same sentence/thought.

I get interviewees like that once in awhile. Pure bullshitters just wingin' it & hoping nobody catches on, essentially.

The last thing this country needs is the threat of more "tort reform."

Granted I doubt she's even aware of what she said, there.

I'm just sure that's not what she meant, at all, that's why I said she was an idiot. Well, that and pretty much everything else she has ever said.

I don't think she meant that, which shows she is never really prepared and is just putting words out there.

Honestly when Palin opens her mouth, it often strikes me as being a lot like my cousin who suffered a brain injury and has such severe short-term memory deficit that she often forgets by the end of a sentence where she started that sentence which is sometimes amusing in the "Department of Redundancy Department" sense but often it makes her incoherent because the sentence before and after the verb are rarely even related.

why does anyone care?

A voice that sounds like glass shards on a blackboard, an IQ that doesn't get to 3 digits.

Who is giving her all of this airtime? Is this really the voice of the tea party?

My god, I've been transported to the backwards dimension.

What world is this, please?

She's just blathering on because she knows her equally idiotic fawning audience isn't smart enough to figure out that she's a con artist bilking them of their money.

If she keeps talking, then the Tea Party groups will continue to pay her to give speeches, or watch her on Fox News and she can continue to get money.

its all bullshit. There's never a meaning behind any of the bullshit they spew. It's all fluff. They have never come up with a resolution/plan, because they are against National Health Care. Remember, it's every man/woman for themselves in their eyes. Those with the money survive. The others do not. They're counting on the ones that do not have money are Democrats. To them it's survival of the richest. I wish the GOP would just go away, and take their clown show elsewhere.

Linguists are frustrated in their inability to determine the origin and structure of this "authentic frontier gibberish". To quote Blazing Saddles.
