A voice of reason? Her modus operandi is banking on emotions. A real person who understands dealing with issues that normal people confront daily? You mean like not having access to health care? Does she support the PPACA or was she more about the single-payer/public option?
Finally? I always understood this.

You almost show that you get it here. It is not rhetoric. With Palin and those of us who support her, we take these issues very seriously.

It's not rhetoric? Are you saying that Palin is generally sincere in all her communications to the public?

As I often say regarding Obama and why I don't understand him is that his words have no meaning and are not connected to his actions.

How so? Obama has kept more promises than he's broken.

Your posting history begs to differ. And all politicians tend to live in a world of rhetoric, at least publicly. The issue isn't whether there is rhetoric, the issue is the methods and themes of the rhetoric, as is the goal. I think Palin's goals are, more often than not, to impassion people, not inform them.
