Turn it Down Sarah
Is there any reason why Sarah Palin shouts rather than speak? Is this because McCain is not using a PA system at his events? If she continues like this she will develop a rather sore throat. She needs to turn it down.
I get the impression that she is full of confidence as being a great politician. I suppose this is because she is able to run rings around the truth with no shame or guilt at such an act. I think she believes lying is what makes a great politician.
Her day is coming and I know its not far away. The crash will be loud and will resonate for years to come. Mark my word.

It's sort of like Conan O'Brien's bedtime story bit where he talks softly and coos hypnotically but he's actually saying horrible gross things.
Palin doesn't shout continuously, rather her volume and cadence rhythmically goes up and down. It's a speech making trick to energize the audience and then let them know when they can cheer and clap to release that energy.
She could start spouting total nonsense in the middle of the speech but as long as she kept up the same rhythm the audience would still cheer and applaud at the right spots. It would probably take them at least a full minute to stop cheering and start asking themselves "what did she just say?".

I can't bear to listen to her - she's so shrill. That's compounded by the way she has `pol speak` down to a tee: so brazenly not answering the question.
I don't know how they (pols) do it: responding to a question by completely ignoring it and launching into a diatribe that bears no relation to it whatsoever. Such gall. I get embarrassed for them and then despise them.
I can't stand the woman. My mother says she's Margaret Thatcher reincarnate. (The day the Iron Maiden got the leadership of the opposition in the UK, my mother went to Australia House and applied to emigrate to Australia!)

It's like people yelling at someone who speaks another language.

We have to remember that 5-10 minutes after being introduced to the American people as the VP pick by John McCain Sarah Palin was telling lies (the bridge to nowhere) on a number of levels. She lied by omission (gave the impression she was always against the bridge to nowhere) and when she said she told Congress "Thanks, but no thanks", that was a bald-faced lie. Even though the speech was written for her, she knew that was a lie. She's been repeating those lies ever since, even after they were discreditted. I suspect she is a congenital liar, just as McCain is a liar by convenience. McCain just knew he had a live one when he talked to her for 1 hour before selecting her.
