I don't think what we have seen covered at this particular Tea Party convention is a true representation of the grass roots Tea Party demonstrations which have taken place nationwide. The message is not the same and as pointed out by Sunny, it has been "hijacked" by elite opportunists who are identical to the same politicians the true grass roots tea partiers are trying to rid from Capitol Hill.
That is of course my opinion and the real purpose of this thread seems to be......
Spin, spin, spin!

Wade, that picture was at an old campaign event. According to Dems here everybody uses the device during those events. It appears to me that she was using notes in that speech, but the camera failed to show and teleprompters and she didn't appear to be at a tennis match the way Obama does. At least, she looks at the people directly in front of her and he never does that.
I did not say the speeches were unimportant in politics or that Obama was not a good speaker. I believe he is one of the most eloquent speakers I've heard in politics. I personally don't think that Palin has a lot to offer beyond her speeches.
You don't think that Obama's "handlers" had 2008 in mind when they had an unknown politician deliver the keynote speech at the convention? I don't know who all are involved in the owning of Obama outside ACORN and SEIU but someone other than them is involved.
I have never really liked his speaking because of the fact that he clips the ending word of too many sentences in some kind of dialectical sounding method.
Do you really think that all those younger people who were taken in by Hope and Change talk were at all worried about McCain being so old and infirm refused to vote for him because of that?
Do you believe that any of those people interviewed outside that Texas polling place really gave any thought to something like that?
Does it matter when the photo was taken? That's not the point.
My point was that she sure did play the Obama game in the campaign but I don't think she did last night. I think that Wade didn't think about that with that attempt to prove that she has used teleprompters.

1. Yes. There was a letter in an advice column recently where a teen referred to his 40 something parents as "elderly" and had concerns about them losing their faculties. Even my 22 yr old thinks people in their 40s are "old".
2. Yes. Many people had concerns about Sarah having her finger on the nuclear button in the even that McCain died in office.
Ladies and gentlemen I have a posting record for myself here. Four reps for this little jewel. I am seeking a patent and bumper stickers will be $5 each. HOW'S THIS? CHANGE YOU CAN BEREAVE IN HOPE FOR A DOPE
