The GOP's Natural

It was a great speech. Even the liberal commentators on CNN thought she hit a homerun. There was a whole lot of pressure on her these last few days. Most presidents have speechwriters etc. But of course, she has the final say. To come in and do this on such short notice was impressive. Obama has advisors and had months to prepare as well as a whole primary campaign to refine his message. Obviously, he is a great orator. And I'm not saying she is as good as him. Still, her speech last night was impressive.

Sarah Palin did a great job delivering her speech.

I find it amusing that Joe Biden was not held to the same standards as Palin. He's a good ol' boy to the nth degree so the Liberal Left already knows what to expect. Low expectations I might add. We wouldn't want anyone to over

Was Obama raised by a Muslim father and step-father? Did he study the Koran in school in Indonesia? Did he memorize passages? Did he become a Christian and then attend a radical racist church? Let me get this straight, all "Christians" behave like "Christians"? Especially those that have a vicious hatred for (some) others that are not like them such as the leader of Obama's Church? I am sure that many members of the KKK are Christian just like Obama. Does that excuse their background and views? So why does Obama slide on this one? He is tall, good looking, and people like him. He is a model on the runway - he's too sexy for his hat...

Im an idiot.

hmmm. well she can speak but not to ME. I am an African American MOM / WIFE working two jobs still facing forclosure, trying to send my kids to good schools and college, trying to afford groceries and healthcare. Palin does not believe in safe sex education when African american youth are catching and spreading HIV at rates that rival third world countries. Her own pregnant daughter an example of the problem, she is touting her "pit bull" tactics... well we KNOW they can attack, but what can they heal? We have the worst deficit in history... and balancing Alaska's budget doesn't impress me... there are more people in Detroit than in Alaska. there are still two full scale wars going on... and I do not intend to lose my sons in either one of them. No foreign policy concept... just the same old "shoot first and ask questions later" nonsense. Her answer to global warming ... drill more? ummm no thanks, not impressed. In fact, frightened that people are really buying into this. Well if you always do what you've always done... you will always get what you always got.

I found Sarah Palin's speech full of lies and lacking substance. Heaven help our country if she ends up in the second highest office in the land. We will be faced with more lies, like we have been these past 8 years if she is elected.

Why are the liberals attacking Palin as a member of the radical right? Are all people who belong to the
NRA radical right wingers? If so, men and women who hunt or who own hand guns to protect their homes and children would not agree with the far left. Is Palin a radical because she is pro-life? What exaclty does choice mean? She was told her baby would be born with Downs Syndrome and she CHOSE to have the baby. Does choice only mean you have to terminate a pregnancy? Is she a member of the radical right because she wants to defeat the Islamic terrorists that are determined to destroy us rather than read them their rights as Obama wants? This moderate Democrat is now voting for McCain/Paln.

As I watched Palin's speech, I couldn't help but be transported back to high school. It seemed more like watching the popular cheerleader sitting at the rich kid lunch table mock her opponent with snark and snobbery while basking in the laughter of her sheep. My vote will go to whoever actually shows the dignity and presence needed for the office that is being contested for. If McCain/Palin want my vote, based on last night as well as this past week, they have a very long way to go in earning it. (I'm a female swing vote - the one McCain/Palin supposedly are gunning for. Before the Palin fiasco, I was 50/50 on Obama and McCain. Now, every day I walk closer to Obama's side. Rethink your tactics, McPalin... not sure its going to work for you. I daresay noone really, really likes being condescended to.)

McCain sealed my vote for Obama last night when he did an interview with Charlie Gibson of ABC. Charlie pointed out that McCain would have liked Joe Lieberman, Tom Ridge, or maybe even Mitt Romney to be his choice for VP. He then asked McCain if he could look the camera and American people in the eye and say with certainty that Palin was more qualified than any of those three to be VP. McCain said "yes." The Republicans are so intent on claiming that Palin has more "executive" experience than Obama, Biden, and even McCain combined. If McCain realized how important that experience was, why not consider former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani? Giuliani was mayor of more than 8 MILLION people and had to deal with 9/11 while Palin was governor of 700,000. Giuliani has proven himself already to be worth more than Palin. It's almost like McCain has this campaign as a joke. And my last comment is reserved for the hypocrisy of the Republican party. They harp on family values and protect Sarah Palin's 17-year old pregnant daughter, asking for privacy. Were it Obama's daughter pregnant they would have had a field day, ripping him and Michelle apart for their lack of parenting skills. Jon Stewart played an excellent clip last night on The Daily Show with Bill O'Reilly himself attacking Lynn Spears as a "pinhead" for the pregnancy of her 16-year old daughter Jamie Lynn Spears. When talking about Palin's 17-year old daughter he asked that the family's privacy be respected. How are their cases different? It can't be the one year age difference!

Sarah Palin -WOW- an articulate, substantive, and amazing performance smacking down the Obama candidacy and the Liberal media in one fell swoop. You go girl. McCain and Palin will shake up Washington and defeat the pretender Barack Hussein Obama.

Here's a riddle: What smells like the cross between a decapitated moose (with lipstick) and the failed policies of the last eight years? That's right, Gov. Sarah Palin.
