STAC Goat posted:Sarah Palin clearly thinks she's the smartest person in the world so its not surprising that she thinks that when some people spend a weekend calling her an rear end in a top hat for letting her kid stand on her dog in Palin's mind that's a national scandal that is displacing ISIS in the news. Instead of just a weekend where a bunch of people got annoyed in passing at an rear end in a top hat doing an rear end in a top hat thing. I'm not convinced Palin is a true believer. She's doing what she does to bilk idiots out of their money - I suspect she'll flirt with running but not actually try because that's not what she wants. She wants money, and attention gets her money.

Aliquid posted:If anyone's weirded out by this, she's medicated on uppers of some sort and it's obvious. It was obvious when Perry was on opiates and it's obvious now. She's on uppers and probably double-doses on speech days. In my experience, it's like trying to route the volume of a 5-inch water pipe through a 2-inch aperture when I'm at peak effect, my mind is like "SAY <PARAGRAPH>" when a sentence or less will do. Indulging in the need to say everything that comes to mind would probably end up with an explanation of axial tilt and pressure gradients when asked about the weather. Now apply that to someone who exists in an intellectual cesspit of bumper sticker zingers and distilled spite, and gets lauded by the echo chamber cohabitants when she says anything. It's pure unregulated id.

FAUXTON posted:Yeah, having a Vyvanse prescription makes me do this (mentally, I catch myself before it comes out and it's annoying for a moment until I remind myself I wouldn't sound like the megagenius I'm thinking I am at the moment, just a verbose rambling rear end in a top hat) when it's at its peak. If it ain't speed (how prevalent is it in that part of Alaska? It's quite rural I assume but is it just too far out there to have the problem of hickborne meth?), she's on a major stimulant but without the requisite self-control to interact with people properly while under its effects. She is 100% valley trash and that part of Alaska is meth central. I mean - it IS called 'valley trash' for a reason.

Guys, you're just confused. It clearly says on the itinerary, "Sarah Palin Beat Poetry Hour." The drugs thing seems to fit, but I still think she's just doing her own cargo cult oratory. She sounds like a real dumb person attempting to be very profound by using metaphor, but she doesn't know about metaphor really so it's just a bunch of hackneyed cliches.

I just... We're gonna smash them liberal Democrat Party of the tax n spenders with a tiny elephant! This guy's going to be the Pawlenty of 2016, but it doesn't mean he can't be weirder in the process: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...pm_politics_pop quote:But Jindal's keynote address at the event came as he has been courting Christian conservatives in advance of a possible run for president, meeting with pastors in the early battleground states of Iowa and New Hampshire. Former Texas governor Rick Perry hosted the same event, known as "The Response," in 2011, just before announcing he was running for president. Hell of a track record there. And here's one of his co-participants: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/cindy-jacobs-i-have-power-revive-dead-children quote:The bible says the same power is in us that raised Christ Jesus from the dead. I see someone; you literally had a child that just died. And I speak to the spirit of death in that child in the name of Jesus and I command you to lead that child. I speak to the spirit of infirmity that caused the child’s death and I say “Live in Jesus name! Live!’ And I see a child coughing, waking up, oh we saw that in Pakistan, we saw a little boy raised from the dead, just like that He's going to get high on painkillers and use the exorcism stuff as a part of his pitch, isn't he? I really hope he runs because I really think he can outweird Santorum with their weird Catholic-Millenarianism hybrid. Throw in some "NOT MY POPE" bashing and you've got yourself a stew going.

The rumor is diet pills and her alleged abuse of them goes way way back. Probably OTC back around 2008 election time but by 2012 she had clearly been prescribed something much stronger. I doubt it's meth but whatever it actually is certainly isn't far removed from meth. She's tweaked as gently caress at almost every public appearance these days.

Cross posting from marriage equality because Freedom Summit!  Ben Carson posted:What I have a problem with is when people try to force people to act against their beliefs because they say 'they're discriminating against me.' So they can go right down the street and buy a cake, but no, let's bring a suit against this person because I want them to make my cake even though they don't believe in it. Which is really not all that smart because they might put poison in that cake. Yes, offend a bakers deeply held religious beliefs about gays and they may try and murder you and your other party guests. I'm seriously wondering if Ben Carson is suffering form some sort of late onset mental disorder.

Oh man, Sarah Palin is a terrible presidential candidate. She has literally no mic presence at all & sounds like a paranoid housewife. Not what you want in your president. IIRC her previous try in 2012 went off the rails because of her lack of national awareness. Here we go again..

It doesn't help that she talks like the mom from Bobby's World. I think part of it might be that it seems like she's talking off the top of her head. So she's not coming across weirdly partially since she's making it up as she's going along. The clear sign of this is when she starts talking about Bristol's teacher, and goes off on a weird tangent about her name. Also, I laughed at her idea to decentralize the federal government.
