Like it or not liberals, Palin delivered one hell of a speech and became a star overnight. I find the charge that she simply read the speech and did not write it utterly hilarious. Obama hasn't written a single speech in 18 months of campaigning. His speechwriter, David Axlerod has written every non-substantive speech Obama has given during this campaign. She talked about family, reform, defeating corruption in both parties, energy independence, national security, economy and the unfair sexism displayed by the left wing media and the Obama campaign. Yes, she definitely launched some SCUD missiles directly at Obama and Biden and that is exactly what she should do as the VP candidate. You liberals are not happy with it and discredit her speech because of those roundhouses to "the anointed one". What comes around, goes around! At the DNC convention, you had liberal after liberal going up on stage and taking pot shots at McCain. Pelosi, Gore, Biden, the Clintons...etc. These conventions are used to fire up the base of their parties....PERIOD! Very rarely will you hear bi-partisan speeches. However, McCain delivered quite the bi-partisan speech last night, which is more than I can say for Obama's last week. This will be a very close election.

Obama held his own last night with Oreilly and I'll give him credit for at least going on the show even though liberals will blast him for it. On the issue of Pakistan, Obama said he would seek diplomatic resolutions and only give military aide and money to Pakistan if they used it to eradicate the Taliban and Al Qaeda within their borders. Sounds like a good plan doesn't it? One problem with this concept though is in the geopolitical world you cannot dictate to another country what they will do with the aide, whether it is humanitarian, military, political...etc, once you give it to them. These countries have their own agendas and their own interests and will do what they believe is best for them. Pakistan will never completely committ to defeating the radical islamists in their own country until they pose a grave threat to their own sovereignty. Obama's foreign policy is very naive and borderline appeasement. Maybe in another 10 years, after he gets some real experience, he will be wise enough to know this and then may even be ready to be POTUS.

Obama contradicted himself though on the surge last night. He finally admitted the surge was a success, but failed to give credit to those that ordered it and definitely would not admitt that he was wrong to oppose it. Again, he stood his ground well with Oreilly, but as the POTUS, I would like to see a little more humility from my President and a lot less ego! McCain showed tremendous humility last night in his speech. Obama, and the left in general, can never admitt when they're wrong about anything. It is always someone else's fault and that someone else usually is a Republican. Not this time, Barry!

So the stock market went down 300 points in a day. Definitely doesn't mean we're in an economic crisis. Again, you need two consecutive quarters of declining growth to be officially called a recession. We have not experienced that as of yet. A lot of this slowdown in the economy is manufactured by the media due to the election year. They did the same thing back in 1992 to Bush Sr. to give Clinton a chance. Funny thing is that in 2000, the economy was in a slowdown as well and Clinton handed it over with only a .49% increase in GDP to Bush, yet we never heard about it from the media. By the way, the economy was great in the 90's due to the Republican controlled congress, not Clinton. Who balanced the budget in the 90's? The Republicans! When did our economy start to slowdown under Bush? When the Democrats took over congress in 2006! I see a pattern developing here.

The McCain/Palin ticket represents the change we need to win the GWOT, become energy independent, fix our education system, bolster our economy, reduce taxes, eliminate earmarks, shrink government and beat down the socialist movement in this country!

Plopping this in every thread you can?

If there was humility in the Republican Party they would acknowledge that their economic policies have failed. We are in an economic crisis and every Republican I know knows it. We'll see how far pretending that "liberals" were in control at the White House and Washington during this disastrous economy and ill-advised War will get the Republican Party.

In the 1970s, when women in the workplace were a rarity, mothers working outside the home were often subjected to criticism for taking men's jobs, for having our children raised by day care providers and for getting ahead on our looks or by sleeping with men in power.

Today 55 percent of women with infants are employed as are 72 percent of mothers whose children are older.

We are not all going back to home and hearth nor do we take kindly to criticism of our decision from strangers who have no idea what our individual situations are.

I can think of hundreds of reasons why Sarah Palin wouldn't be a good vice president but not a single one is linked to her being a governor with five children.

The nerve of the Republicans, trying to pass any old female off as a Hillary substitute! This woman is no Hillary! The only thing she has in common with Hillary is reproductive organs! She is a Stepford Republican. She would have all us women hand over the keys to your bodies to The Man! Can you IMAGINE this woman being one heart attack away from appointing Supreme Court judges? One stroke away from having her little pit bull paw on the Pentagon's red button?

She is a stooge. A Republican stooge. She's a sell-out of a feminist. She serves men, not women. Note that she was CHOSEN, unlike Hillary, who stepped up and ran on her own steam. She was chosen, like a little lady waits to be chosen and asked to dance by a man. This is the message John McCain is sending by choosing her: ladies don't wear pantsuits and compete against men -- they wait to be chosen by a man, and then play second fiddle.

For me there was never any question of Hillary aspiring to the VP position. Who on earth could imagine her playing second fiddle to anyone? I wasn't going to vote for her unless she became the candidate, anyway, but I knew her character well enough to know she was no VP. She'll simply run again if and when the time comes for her, and it will be her own decision.
