McBush talks in run-on sentences. I can't |
|
decide whether I hate his coordinating or subordinating conjunctions more.

1. Definitely subordinating |
|
It's like he can't help but interrupt himself constantly

6. I think his use of "and" is the most |
|
egregious, linking 4 or more independent clauses together. Focus dissipates rapidly.

5. McBush seems addle-brained. |

Obama speaks in short declarative sentences. McBush's sentences remind me of Mark Twain's hilarious spoof of the German language, sentences meandering to a point where you forget the subject of the sentences by the time you reach the end of them.

4. Run on sentences are how repubs |
|
make it sound like they are saying something, but they in fact are not. Palin used alot of them in her interviews also.
