POLITICS: SARAH PALIN’S RNC SPEECH

On Wednesday, Sarah Palin announced she will be honored to accept the nomination for Vice President of the United States to a roaring crowd.

Presidential candidate John McCain, 72, is the first Republican to share the ticket with a woman and only the second presidential candidate from a major party to do so.

With all the recent media attention surrounding her, Palin told the RNC she is not going to Washington to seek the approval of the media but rather to “serve the people of this country”.

  1. Questioneverything

    Sarah Palin did an excellent job of presenting herself–she dragged her whole family and the prego daughter’s boyfriend(who loooked uncomfortable as hell) on stage for photo op. She did NOT discuss the ISSUES!! She made little attacks toward Obama but once again the Republicans ARE NOT Discussing what’s important!

  2. Poetic Blue

    Pitbull with lipstick? What an INSULT to pitbulls!

    Palin definatley rubbed me the wrong way last night.. I am neither democrat nor repbulican. but after seeing the anger and bitterness in republicans last night that has sealed my vote for the democrats…

    Why was she putting down community organizers?

    Palin even said it herself that she has not been in washington politics for very long.. well for someone who has not been in washington she sure was spitting out a lot of political bull from a speech she didn’t even write…

    Republicans praise her.. well what else are they gonna do? But I can tell you that the great feeling they were getting in the convention was not the same great feeling many were feeling outside…

    Dont EVEN get me started on Rudy G.

    OBAMA/BIDEN

  3. J.Li

    It’s ashame that she spent so much time trying to defame Obama that she never talked about what she has done or what she plans to do. If she wants to talk about Obama not writing reforms, what reforms has she written that were groundbreaking or successfully impacted change? She spent SO much time going on and on about Obama that I could not differentiate her from a citizen that is supporting the Republican party or a person that accepted the nominee as Vice President. I am a feminist and this woman does NOTHING but appear as a puppet for the good ole boys from days of yore. And if she had to take the place of the president, that is exactly what she will be…a puppet for the Republican master minds. GET REAL…make sure all of your friends and family register because America cannot continue to be viewed this way by the world.

  4. I had to put that mess on mute last night. I couldn’t take it. Especially Rudy G. That man is such a fake it’s ridiculous. Sarah Palin should be ashamed of herself for dragging her baby and children all over the place for photo ops. It was clear as hell half of them didn’t even want to be there. The pregnant one looked like she was falling asleep.

    Something about that convention didn’t seem right, the vibes we too negative.

    & If I hear one more thing about Obama not having experience….

  5. Kay

    I cant understand how people dont see through this hot mess. This election is so frustrating!! I dont understand how a woman who cant even control her out of control daugher gonna run a country. this Republican party is a mess, McCain cheated on his wife and Palin got a drunk daughter who is having a baby. If this was Obama this would not be an issue, they would have attacked his family to no end! The double standards here are so crystal clear. I am so scared if the republican party wins the election this year, there are so many issues that are being overlooked due to the craziness of the two candidates if the republican party, and her daughters boyfriend did look uneasy as hell and he should be, nobody other than a white woman could bring her 16 year daughters baby daddy to the republican convention that she is speaking to to accept her nomination for VP!! this is some serious bullshit.

  6. Dame(Obama 08)

    I didn’t watch her speech and I wanted to but after reading some of the things she said I am convinced she attacked Obama to take the heat off of her.

  7. This chick needs to go back to fishing in Alaska, get her little hot ass prego daughter under control from drinking and posting the pics on Myspace!! Disgraceful, if this was Obama’s daughter it’s be some ISH!!! Keep on hating I’m still Obama 2008!!! McCain is 4 more years of Bush and personally I can not take it!!!

  8. ja

    well yall can say what you wont but she didnt lie about on thing. You people kill me”Dragged her whole family” I guess you hid all the family you consider bad in the closet. First she hiding now she exploting. Make up your mind people. Some say she sound funny, But I rather have some one sound funny telling the truth than sound good lying. Look up everything she said, didnt ly one time and had proof to back up her statements I wish Obama would have stated one thing he did to help the country, hell I’d settle for one thing he did to help Ill. Thats why I can get down with him. He seems like that kid at school who talks about how he can do everything better than the a person after the person already did it. You know “Man I would have”" or Man you Should Have” If he’s the president who’s he going to copy Europe. I hate to say it but Eourpe and Canada( FRee Health Care) are not doing as well as us right now even in our econmy state. China and North Korea are but I doubt the American People want to be like them.

    McCain/Palin 08 and Beyond

  9. Nobel

    Honestly my gut tells me that the Republicans will NOT win this year… many people will see through that bull and negetivity… when you have nothing productive to say what do you do?? ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK… and you result in name calling and sarcasm.. that is exactly what happend last night… no one had anything productive to say.. I dont care what they say about that woman now.. even if it is sexist… she is definatley at the bottom of my list of unlikeable people and I am a WOMAN.

    Call her a bitch for all I care.. I was pissed from that speech last night downgrading working class peoples accomplishments as community organizers… she has the nerve…A hockey mom? Who cares! So what.

    The baby’s daddy looked like he didn’t even want to be there…

  10. Nobel

    Sorry I meant she is at the top of my list of unlikeable people…

  11. bella313

    Since McCain sent her out there to be the “attack dog”, she can’t be surprised when someone calls her a B****. She said nothing about the issues last night, only pandered to the Republican base with insults and sarcasm.

  12. KanS#1

    She dogged Obama, and made me cringe. lol. It was ridiculous. I had to change the channel because it was so frustrating. The only thing she did was talk nonsense on Obama. And Obama did the complete opposite!! I think she should watch her mouth and her actions! She has zero room to talk mess about someone else!! Her pregers daughter’s Myspace pics came out earlier. She’s pictured drinking, and kissing her girlfriends. Palin should home, and take care of her own household before trying to run our country.

  13. Fran Gadson

    i didn’t watch it last night but i will watch the video later- from what i’m hearing is she spent the speech on explaining who she was, who obama is not and also her speechwriter was bush speechwriter-hmmm
    if i was her i would left my little ones at home until mccain speech esp her daughter baby father- i’m sorry they are not marry yet so why is he in the picture
    i will watch it tonight to see what mccain has to say because i need to know what he has done the pass 22 years i’m so tried of hearing he was a pow. ok move on what has he done as senator

  14. BUBBLELISIOUS

    SHE WAS WAITING FOR AN APPLAUSE AFTER EACH STATEMENT LOL..

    YA… WAYYY TO GO PALIN

  15. MANDY

    I thought I was watching the white version of the Apollo. A whole bunch of jokes with white people falling all over themselves laughing.
    I dont know what type of woman they were trying to reach but it damn sure wasnt me. I just had a baby 7 weeks ago. I will not be returning to work until my baby hits pre-k. Am I really suppose to relate to a woman like Plain? Put job and country before my kids? With kids raising themselves this country will go to shit anyway so what are you fighting for exactly?

  16. #5 Kay
    Can you imagine the SCANDAL it would be if Obama had a pregannt teen daughter andhad the audacity to flaunt her and the trifling baby daddy onstage at his DNC???

  17. Ty

    It blows my mind that the Republican party should be trying to do everything in its’ power to show the nation they are not the same party of the past eight years. However, McCain’s administrations goes out and gets Bush’s speech writer to develop the nonsense we listened to last night. If you notice, after Palin’s introduction of herself and her family, her speech took on an angry, arrogant, and condescending tone. We have Bush’s speech writer to thank for this, and that portion of the speech was written before the VP pick was even made. Proof that McCain only offers the nation 4 more years of the same.

    Looking around the audience at the RNC, it is evident that this party doesn’t represent the US. There are just over 30 African American Republican delegates…a shame. The DNC was a beautiful representation of the melting pot that is America.

    Finally, can one Republican please mention the economy? I mean how is that a topic you skip over in this day and age? Maybe they don’t have a favorable solution to share. They just don’t get it!

  18. Chanel

    Question: Was anyone offened by her comment that she was a mayor that is a community activist, except that mayors has responsiblities as offensive. Meaning that any one who service as the community activist unless ytou are mayor you dont have any responsibities. That was such bs… Community Activist dont get paid most of the time, and they are responsible for a group of people that didnt elect or ask them to be there but still needed them. That mess she spoke on last night did nothing for me to swing her way. She spoke nothing on the issues and only attacked the Dem. And why is it ok for her not to have experience , but it is a crime that Obama is soo “inexperienced”Double standards i guess. Nothing she said last night would make me vote for her…

  19. KSH

    Barraccuda’s should be offended. This lady was trained by Mike Vick.

  20. 61

    I was so pissed off last nite at her. The media is just eating it all up. She did not talk about issue that i wanted to hear. It funny how republican talk about i hope they do not be sexist about her but they have a button calling her a hottie from a cool town. Looks is not going to run the country. Im a woman im a democrat. Do u want 4 more years of this bullshit not me. We need to control this country before it too late. People losing there homes, food is up, gas is crazy alot of thing is going on that do not suppose to be going on. Some of the people last nite do not care about the poor because they getting richer by the minute. So i hope your support OBAMA/BIDEN 08. If not we going to be in a whole lot of trouble.

  21. Nadia

    she never discussed any issues or her qualifications! but then again how could she when she has none. she should forget about dogging Obama out and discuss the REAL issues and how she plans to deal with them. i was once undecided. thanks to that speech she gave (by the way.. that was written for her), i’m voting Obama!

  22. MANDY

    You know what@JA

    You remind me of that Hasslebeck chick onThe View. Annoying as shit. I remember what you said about Paris Bennet who happened to be 19 at the time of her pregnancy. Do you? Why dont you talk about Palin and all the people high fiving her like you talked about Paris’ family and her supporters on that post? Are you a flip flopper? lol

  23. *Sigh*

    Hyprocrisy.

    You hate that she dragged her family all over the place? Huh? Really?! Were these same individuals upset about Obama bringing his daughters on stage when he was accepting the nomination? I mean seriously folks, if you were for Obama all along, then there would be nothing that Palin or McCain could say that would change your mind. All this, “Why didn’t she do this?” or “Why didn’t they do that?” is absurd.

    Her specch was typical. I wasn’t uplifted nor offended, by anything she said.

    I think come election day, 1 of 2 things will happen. We’ll either have the largest voter turn out in history or millions of voters will stay home. Just my opinion

  24. ja

    Alrigt @ Kay

    Lets not forget that Obama did Cocain in College. The years he was supossed to be learning about things like the law. Isn’t Cocain illegal. I bet all his pushers are going to vote for him. Obama Mamma was just like Palins daugther, and did the same thing. Yes abortion was legal than. No one is throwing this in Obama’s face we are letting him be his own man.

    @ Angel

    I’m sorry but if my mom was give a speech do at the Wal Mart and I had 10 and was on welfare I would still be there to support her. What you dont understand is family is the most important thing regardless of what is going on. I REAL person of the people understands that.

    @ J.LI

    Example, They Congress wanted ( this includes your boy Obama) wanted to take Millions of tax dollars and build a brigde in .Alaska. Now even thought they did need this bridge it would have supplied jobs more likely to Alaskians only. She said hell no to this was of money. AND found a way to comp most of the jobs in another project. One of her many fights in Congress.

    TO Alll

    I did not hear one thing from any Dem in all their speeches that said anything about what they intend to do for soldiers. End the war cut funding RIGHT. The war will dod what it do cutting funding will cut funding to soldiers You cant do more with less in war. It’s sad that people think that the Obama will stop the war. Yea he will cut the budget but it will be things like instead of 365 bullets per soldier more like 132 a soldier. Reused equipemt to include boots and Clothing. Oh yea he’ll cut back. And what about the cut back of Personnel. The first to go will be the older more experiance soldiers. Leaving the younger fresh picks from High schools just Like in the rest of the jods in this nation. How do I know this. Take a look at the Millitary after Bill Clintons First Year.

  25. Erica

    I just watched some of it and I must say she was only talking down about her opponents… They talk about Obama has no experience, what experience do Palin have??? Being a hockey mom, lying, drinking and etc etc…. This speech was suppose to be about what their leadership can do for America but it was mainly about bad mouthing Obama…. America can not be controlled by this type of bull that they have shown us… They are ridiculous and if they win, America will have destruction pulled all around us….

  26. SexySas

    She talking about politics but giving a life story of her family and who she knows! McCain knew exectly what he was doing when he picked her! She will get the celebrity he critised Obama for cause he knows its gettin votes!

  27. *Sigh*

    Question: Has Obama ever written his own speech?

    Honestly, I think we need a third major party, aside from Republicans vs Democrats, cause none of these candidates are cutting it for me.

  28. LETSLOVE

    Enough with the Old America Bullying tactics already I am SO OVER THAT!!!

    She’s got jokes for days…. Anything else? Her speech had no substance whatsoever.

    Sarah Palin did nothing but lie – to see a summary of her lies visit cbsnews.com and check out the story ‘Factchecking Palin’. OR go to samefacts.com – Very little validity to anything she said not only about Obama, but herself and McCain also. DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE!

    People like to compare her to Obama and say that she’s just as inspiring and people can relate to her just as easily….. If your inspired by false claims, political games and old America at it’s best – then I am sure you were inspired last night.

    I want to feel as though the candidates are real and I can relate – but not THAT much. You still need to be an exceptional individual capable of handling such a daunting task.

    This former pageant Queen doesn’t do it for me, sorry. I listened with an open mind and was genuinely interested in what she would have to say. I was terribly disappointed and quite turned off by the end of her speech.

    Bush, McCain and Palin leave me feeling embarrassed to be an American and completely disconnected.

    Obama leaves my head held high, my spirit filled with hope and my pride for my country reignited. Not based on his charm or skin color – but his attention to the issues affecting ME, tact in dealing with major issues like the War and his audacity to have aggressive, however, obtainable goals for a better America.

    Obama 08

  29. MANDY

    ^^^^@SIGH
    Smartest thing I’ve heard all year.

  30. RealFake

    She did an excellent presentation of that speech which was specifically revised for her circumstances. However her problems still remain: troopergate etc. Atlthough she spent much time denigrating Obama and lauding McCain, she still did not enlighten me as to why it took Mccain so long to seek out the presidency since he has so much to offer his country.

  31. szyy

    SUCH A JOKE..This is the same party who dragged the country into the ground …no words about the economy..nothing except the same old SCARE tatics they used to start the WAR..LAME

  32. Shaina

    Right now, I’m sitting at work with the misfourtune of listening to the ol’ fogies talk about how well versed and articulate Palin’s speech was. *sigh* Palin’s speech was nothing more than rhetoric. She simply gave the Republicans what they wanted to hear — B.S. Not once did she talk about the real issues, and it was so disappointing. This woman has no qualifications, no substance.

    And don’t get me started on Rudy G. Why does he feel that just because he was mayor during the 9/11 attacks, it qualifies him as somebody important? Boy, stop!

    I just don’t get Republicans.

  33. Governor Palin’s speech was good. I didn’t watch the convention last night but was able to watch her speak this morning online. I believe that she is a beautiful person with a beautiful family and is unfairly judge regarding the pregnancy of her daughter. I feel that parents can preach until they are blue in the face but kids ultimately have the choice to do what they want to do and sometimes that choice can come back and bite them in the booty.
    Although the speech was good, I feel that she did not discuss any of the important issues but instead attacked Senator Obama and that is not what I wanted to hear. I guess that she wanted to take the attention away from the fact that she was not properly vetted. The McCain camp definitely dropped the ball on that one. Her daughter being pregnant should not be the main issue in the media but unfortunately it is. I understand the impact that it has with Governor Palin not wanting sex education in schools but still, it is still not my main concern. My main concern is the fact that she is under investigation for abusing her power in her state. I just feel that the McCain camp really did not know about the pregnancy or the investigation which looks bad on them and they lied stating that they knew about it. This is the judgment of someone wanting my vote for the presidency?

    Also, they preach about experience, experience, experience which she doesn’t have much of. Therefore, they can stop with the criticism of Senator Obama’s lack of experience. I was listening to the Russ Parr morning show (as I do every morning on my way to work) and he hit the nail on the head. He basically said that President Bush had political experience prior to being the President and look where experience has gotten us.

    I don’t agree with everything that Obama stands for however, my views match with his on a larger scale than my views matching with McCain and it is my duty to vote. Unfortunately, Senator McCain is old, a 4 time cancer survivor and has had a stroke. I hope that nothing happens to him because I don’t wish anything like that on anyone but we have to be realistic. If something happens to him while in office, do you feel that Sarah Palin can lead this country? She just got a passport to travel overseas in July. A response regarding her foreign policy experience is that she lives in Alaska and that is close to Russia.

    Come on, let’s be real.

    Bring on the debates

    Obama/Biden 2008

  34. Heidi

    Offended and disgusted!!!!!!

    Last night it was clear as ever that the Republicans are a one sided party. They turn their nose up at anyone that is not rich or share the values they have. As they laughed at the work of community organizers; those who do the work they should be out doing in our communities, I realized that they don’t know the struggles of people like me!!! How dare you laugh at the work of people like Obama and Martin Luther King!!!! How Dare You!!!!!

    Last week at the democratic convention I felt so proud to be apart of a movement that was about the people of all walks of the country. Uplifting and not divisive!!! Last night I thought I would see that from Sarah Palin regardless of her party and to my disappointment she was everything but uplifting! I always thought your strength show when you stand on your record. Strength is not shown by you trying to tear others and that’s all she did last night. Funny how there was nothing about making the economy better!

  35. KIM

    I didn’t even want to watch Palin last night. From what I have read, all she did was bash Obama. Not one word about the issues. And the press loves hers..smh

    I don’t know if I’ll watch McShame tonight either. His voice is so freakin’ annoying to me. If McLame drops dead, we’ll be in a hell of alot of trouble with her as president.

  36. Shaina

    @ 23

    Independents. You and Joe Lieberman would be the only party members, though.

  37. ZULU

    All this hoopla and this boring ditz could not make a single policy remark or factual statement. This is the real affirmative action right here.

    The hypocrisy of these paranoid, awkward-looking, cross-clenching, bastard-breeding, gun-trotting, hate-mongering cowards is simply hilarious. The RNC looks like a Nazi rally with a sprinkle of self-hating drones.

  38. jjj

    She was waaay out of line her entire speech was throwing insults at Obama… she didn’t even mention what she along with McCain can do to change the termoil the country is in. She was very bitter! Barack Obama is a decent guy so he will respond with class…the republicans are very nasty and aggressive with their approach but I hope the American people don’t allow them to BULLY them into voting for another George Bush term. The people should make the right choice and not the same choice.

  39. Karen

    I heard Guiliani and Palin and several other Republicans insult Barack’s expreience as a community organizer and dismiss it as a fluff job. What they don’t understand is that its not politicians who change many things in this world, which is why people don’t trust them. We know they are all campaigning for a job and connections. Community organizers work outside of the system and inspire other individuals tochange their own lives. That’s what made people like Dr. King so important. He wasn’t campaigning for a job and could therefore say things and do things that politicians never could. Barack’s experience as a community organizer speaks even more to the idea that he still has faith in the common man and his ability to change the world around him.

    Sarah Palin also made a reference to Barack “rolling back the seas and healing the world”. Barack, unlike them, is not arrogant enough to think that he can do everything himself. The point is for him to use his position to change what HE can, and to encourage and inspire the rest of us to be the best of who we are and change our own families and communities.

    Its sad that they don’t get it. Or maybe they do understand, and they know that an educated, re-inspired public means that their reign of unquestioned control is over. I’m sick of the way things are and I’m sick of them.

    Sarah Palin, with her B.A. in Journalism is going to get smashed going against Joe Biden and I can’t wait until the debates!

  40. Carmel

    JA –

    People LIKE YOU are the reason we are in the shape that were in now. YOU honestly think that McCain and Palin could do our country some good, you think that a sick ass old man and grandma with 5 kids could really take us in the direction we need to go. She shouldnt even be comparing herself to barack thats for McCain to do and we have all heard enough of his shit already. She’s only repeating whats already been said, why wont she state why she will be a better VP over Biden?

  41. Karen

    And at #23, the President NEVER writes his own speech! Most professional politicians dont!

  42. xxxplosive

    I would like to say that first that baby isn’t her baby it’s her grandbaby. That is the baby that her oldest daughter had at a young age. With the speech, no I won’t even say speech. How is her bio going to help us in our time of need? I don’t think the Republican Party has the big picture in there heads. There are more homeless people in the United States then probably anywhere, more pregnant teens which means more misguided kids on the streets killing innocent bystanders. Someone made a statement that what does her daughters because both of them were teen mothers have to do with her being Vice President. I would have to say a lot because that is one of the big issues that we face in America. How can you help control one of the world’s biggest problems and you can’t even control what is going on in your own house? I just think people need to stop thinking about what political side your on and think about whats good for country and the people in it.

  43. Erin

    What I noticed is that she wasn’t focusing her speech to any minority voters. She was reaching out to the “good ol’ boys” that live in rural or mountain areas that work in factories and the wealthy majority. She isn’t looking for our votes… why should she care about minorities at all? The only people she is interested in voting for her and McCain are the majority… We all saw how there was barely any diversity in that crowd at the RNC last night… SMH this election is going to be as ridiculous as the past two… probably even more…

  44. ZULU

    @ #8 JA: First of all, she didn’t write the speech. Secondly, I guarantee that the average IQ of the kind of people (that would be you) that voted Bush into office twice, pales in comparison to that of the European voting public. Finally, if you assert that she didn’t tell a lie, then you must not have a single working brain cell. Make sure you read something constructive today.

  45. ja

    @ Mandy

    Lets be clear I do not condone that fact the 17 year olds are out have sex. But the fact that her mother and grand mother said” they were proud of how she did it” threw me back, along with the statements made implying that having a baby at a young age with no husband is generational in their family. What is the purpose of have a Paris Bennet Story? And No I dont think that marrige is the answer to everything nor do I think that everybody that gets preganat should have a baby, but to glorify that is plain bad parenting. And if thats not what they ment they need to chose their words more carfully. Because the child is a blessing but the act is still a sin. Something we need to understand so we dont fall into the same issues again.

  46. xxxplosive

    Another thing. They keep mentioning that Obama doesn’t have experience, but look at all the other Presidents that had experience. Look at the mess that we are in. Where was their experience at then?

  47. MANDY

    ^^^^@Erin. Thats not true. I saw 2 black people. lol

  48. *Sigh*

    @ 29

    Good point. Is Ron Paul still running? LOL

  49. Karen

    I’m not judging her daughter for being pregnant, but why did they keep cheering everytime they showed her and her boyfriend? I thought they were the “social conservative folks”!! The last time I checked, teenage pregnancy wasn’t something we applauded.

    And further on Barack working as a community organizer, he rejected the the big firm’s job offers to work for the community. He coul dhave been like Mitt Romney and DIck Cheney and chose the self-serving path (as most of us would) and gone for the money, but he didn’t. I agree with him on most of his opinions, I respect him very much and trust his intellect enough to choose great advisors to fill the holes his experience (or inexperience) has left behind. That’s why for him.

  50. Nik

    Honestly I feel that McCain has an ulterior motive behind choosing Palin as his VP. I cant quite place my finger on it but it will come out very soon. Palin has issues… when being in the midst of 3 or 4 scandals at one time. at least one of them is true. I hate the way she is being perceived as “one of us” just because she has a pregnant teen in her household, she’s a “devout” Christian and her son is going to Iraq… ugh! What people need to realize is, is that she’s running for VP not the President. Sure they work together but at the end of the day this is McCain’s battle, not Palin’s.. Before selecting her McCain’s campaign was boring and lacked any kind of anything, but since she’s come aboard and spiced things up people are being swayed in the Republican Party’s direction? What does that say about Americans? That as long as we are entertained the issues dont matter? The mudslinging and underage unwed marriage makes for good tv, but are we really ready for 4 more years of Bush???

  51. *Sigh*

    @ 33

    My comment about the speech writer was directed @ # 2.

  52. Karen

    KJ504, my girl. Thanks, lol.

  53. WHYME

    @ Sigh*

    Clearly you have not been paying attention to closely….Obama WRITES ALL HIS SPEECHES. He goes to a hotel without his campaign staff and writes without being disrupted. Then he brings back the speech and he & his camp fine tune it. Sarah Palin did not write her speech at all, she was given the words to deliever. So we will see how she holds up during the debates and on the campaign trail.

    @JA

    Do not bring up Obama’s drug use unless you wanna bring up McCain’s wife’s drug abuse….which landed her in rehab. He was upfront about his drug use unlike Bush and other in government on both sides. So your agreement is not valid & doesn’t hold up.

    The one thing that really struck me the wrong way last night was how they used HOPE as a negative. While I am not naive to believe that if Obama or anyone for that matter will be able to turn the country drastically in the next 4 years, Obama gives me HOPE that change can come while McCain leaves me feeling like it will be 4 more years of the same. I have HOPE that what I do can make a difference & HOPE that there can be a better tomorrow. So if HOPE is a negative then I guess I am too.

    Lastly, the last few days everyone has been treading lightly with Palin, but last night she came out swinging & now the kid gloves are off. Whoever wrote that speech did more damage than good. If you wanna be a pitbull with lipstick then you should get treated like a pitbull with lipstick….the VP debate will probably be the most interesting of debates I have seen in a long time & although she DELIVERED a good speech, she has yet to prove herself with on the spot tough questions. Its funny how when OBAMA gives a good speech, it is written off as a bunch of rhetoric but now that PALIN gave a good speech it is supposed to speak volumes of her experience and readiness.

    P.S. What is so wrong with a community organizer??? As Americans we never even feel the changes that are being made up top. By the time anything reaches us, all we eel are are high as gas prices and our families being shipped over to Iraq and being killed… So I feel that anyone that has had experience with us “little people” is qualified to run this country that essentially could give a damn about the working class…. also the Dems have more than enough people on their side that could pick up where Obama is”inexperienced”….

    P.S. I wonder if Fox Network is Referring to Bristol Palin as “Baby Mama” as they did the married Michelle Obama…. smh

    Well she opened a can of worms. Did she say anything about her qualifications or what she’s done or the fact that she agreed with Obamas Alaska pipeline plan, the same one she dogged last night? McCain picked her as an attack dog, so now she need to get ready to play with the other ones. i can’t wait for the debates, biden will is going to chew her ass up. Good grief, that speech was embarrasing and I’m not even voting Republican!

    It is the grandma and the grandpapa that are the back bone of the country just as anyone raised by on. And the Dems first compared her to Obama Not the Reps. Look it up look it up. “Heart beat away”lol And she has many of time, give example of her being a better pick than Biden for anything, every reason Obama gave as to why Biden wasn’t fit to be President is all the reason she needs. Remenber just four months ago you all were againts Biden too so you know his faults. Now it there were no Obama and There were no McCain and you wanted Change. Would you vote for the the woman who has a proven record of fighting for the intrest of her people in congress, or the man who is almost the oldest senater in congress and has sat through what you all say is the worst adminstration in American History( I beg to differ) and lets not forget all things that Biden is saying bout McCain must be very recent since in the 2004 election he tried to get McCain to be Kerry’s VP. Isnt that the Ticket you were for.

    @ Sigh*

    Clearly you have not been paying attention to closely….Obama WRITES ALL HIS SPEECHES. He goes to a hotel without his campaign staff and writes without being disrupted. Then he brings back the speech and he & his camp fine tune it. Sarah Palin did not write her speech at all, she was given the words to deliever. So we will see how she holds up during the debates and on the campaign trail.

    Are you aware that the teleprompter cut off mid way thru her speech? And she adlibbed the remaining speech..oh did I mention it was on live TV? Without any stutters on her part.
