My republican sister inlaw called me this morning-

[AlCzervik]

this is exactly what she said, "Did you see that speech last night" me "yes" her words now, not mine "I thought she came off as a bitch and i don't care for her much" and that was it.

[peace13]

1. Wahoo!!!!!

One by one the dominos fall. I love the sound. Thanks for this.

[AlCzervik]

2. here's the best part, my sil is 20 years older than me so she is kind of old school

and she thinks Reagan hung the moon and the stars, "My Ronnie" swear to Jod.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

3. I watched Palin deliver

her speech too.

She lied through her teeth and she came across as a bitch.... But then I was gagging and flipping of the TV so I might have missed the nuances :)

[yardwork]

21. There were no nuances.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

24. Well, that's

what I thought -


On a new note....
My Teevee is on MSNBC and I am currently gagging again - they act like this idiot, lying woman is the 2nd coming of Jeebus.

[marylanddem]

4. I think she gives moderate Republicans a good reason to

vote for Obama - her grating voice, her school-marm finger wagging, etc...

[AlCzervik]

10. my sil is catholic, Christmas eve mass and maybe easter services so she's far from

a fire breather but not quite as moderate as some of them. She misses Reagan, lol.

[bushisanidiot]

5. Palin rubbed a lot of people the wrong way last night

the delegates in the convention hall were told to cheer on queue. their fake enthusiam will only last so long before the delegates themselves start scratching their heads on the way home and asking themselves what they just did.

[Virginia Dare]

9. Except the media, they thought she was abfab, a real populist..n/t

[Virginia Dare]

6. I said the same thing after her 18 million cracks line..

sorry Sarah, but America doesn't like bitchy women. You fail the sweetheart test.

[redqueen]

7. From what I hear she was snide and mocking and downright mean.

I guess that plays well with moderates and independents. :shrug:

[kestrel91316]

18. Sarcastic, derisive, and arrogant. She's a real piece of work.

She, who is such an IGNORAMUS that she has no clue that the Founding Fathers had nothing to do with the Pledge of Allegiance. And yes, I'm serious.

[redqueen]

19. Heh yeah... I saw that gem. What a moron this person is.

And what a sad commentary on their supporters that they're acting as if it's not just acceptable, but great.

[tblue37]

26. For Republicans, that would be "moran." I'm "series!!11! n/t

[yardwork]

23. That sums it up. Snide and mocking and downright mean.

The operative word is "mean." It's what everyone is spontaneously saying. She came across as mean. Like the mean girls in junior high.

[DangerousRhythm]

25. Yep, I mentioned just that in my journal entry about her.

She was way too snide for my taste and I can't imagine independents are far off from seeing it this way.

[goddess40]

8. Why do people have to go with the female only slurs?

As soon as anyone goes there the attack dogs come out with "you're a sexist" and it's hard to defend when certain words are used.

I understand it was Chimpsrsmarter's SIL and she's a republican which means she is anti-woman.

I'll bet the SIL votes for her anyway.

[AlCzervik]

11. well my sil is a real piece of work, i live 3,000 miles away for good reason.

[mnhtnbb]

15. Damn! My SIL lives 3000 miles away, too, and I've broken

off communication with her. I didn't know my SIL had a twin sister!

:hi:

[tblue37]

27. Evil twin has an evil twin? n/t

[faithfulcitizen]

22. Okay, she's a dickhead.

[Arugula Latte]

29. Lol!

[goddess40]

31. Just goes to show you don't have to have one to be one

my first post is just because I want people to think before they say something true that can be dismissed because of a word that can make the whole thing sexist.

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. I've worked with many people like her (both men and women) as they claw their

way up the corporate ladder. They are very much acquired tastes and always burn out (though sometimes not quickly enough for the good of the company) - eventually they do get "theirs".

[JBoy]

17. Very true. Karma in this case is the real bitch.

[Sugarcoated]

13. She wasn't likable

It's not what you say often times, it's how you say it. Also remember, she has to pass the CIC test for the Indies, fence sitters, reasonable people who don't vote only on the choice issue. This appealed to the base for the most part.

She was crass, mean spirited, snooty look on her face, will people want to see that person in their living rooms for the next 4 years?

[AlCzervik]

14. sil is not the base for sure, she gave up on Bush and sat out 2004 but she used to love

McCain, the other McCain that the media invented and i think she's really disappointed in how things have turned out.

[GalleryGod]

16. Love it! Love it! Wait'll the NE's Drip...drip..drip..Abuse of Power stories

keep rolling out...relentlessly!:rofl:

[faithfulcitizen]

20. That's what my husband said too. She doesn't come as likable to anyone, imo.

[Lars39]

28. With that perception, it will make it all that easier to believe

anything the NE prints. :)

[eShirl]

30. she *is* a bitch, by her own admission

a pit bull with lipstick
