OFFICIAL: 2008 ELECTION THREAD

Cannot wait to see how that speech plays tomorrow. America just got introduced to Palin and I think they are going to like what they saw.

I dunno…she was on a commitee in Alaska, didnt like how the il companies ran things, so she challanged the governer, won, and changed some shit and got everyone in the state like $1200 :gotme:. I’d say she knows her shit.

Wow, even the CNN talking heads think that was a grand slam, and all week they’ve done nothing but bash her.

She also went into a mayor position with zero debt and left the town with a total of $20 million because she told them they needed to borrow

ok…well if they needed to borrow and they had a solid repayment plan whats the problem? 20 million is not a lot as far as spending for a town. Need more details.

Word^^^Im voting obama.Its not because i agree with all his policies.Its because im in a union.Hes pro organized labor.I dont give 2 shits about the war in iraq or abortion because that shit is not affecting me.

Stalin was into organized labor too :shrug:

are you talking about the RNC speech?

you fukkin kidding me?

the first 15 minutes is talking about her kids, husband etc. who gives a shit about her husband the drill hand… wtf?

I swear the crowd was being paid to cheer to prevent her from actually speaking more.

“i love to drive to work…tee hee”

“that luxury jet was over the top… tee hee, i put it on ebay”

“that chef, oh my kids will miss him”

U serious?

I find this whole thing insulting and i can’t beleive every American in the country isnt breaking shit out of frustration.

wtf does this chick know about russia and foreign policy? gawd, the more i listen the more my heart skips beats.

i had to turn that off… omg i can’t beleive that was the best they could do with all that coaching and speech writing assistance…

“hey lets get you to talk up John McCain for the first 5 minutes… then talk about your family for the next 8 minutes… plus we’ll get the crowd to cheer longer up front and interupt you at marginally impactful speech points… that will cover 15 minutes right there… then spend 5 minutes waxing loosely over current issues like Russa, some oil and energy stuff and bust a couple ebay jokes… done, win election stfu for 4 years. thanks.”

Stick to Canadian politics bing. :wink:

Honestly, I don’t care what any of the Obama supporters thought. No matter what she said they were going to hate it because their guy is Obama. That speech played well with the base and looks like it will play well with the undecided voters. Lets see what the polls do Monday.

I am still laughing.
The comment about the styrofoam collums was hilarious on so many levels.
Sarah :spank: Barry

:lol:

I, like everyone, was a little nervous but she hit a grand slam.
:bigclap:

I have got to find a list of all the spankings she handed out last night.

:lol: yeah, I lol’d at that too

overall, I think she did a great job. It’s nice to see a non lifer/elitist getting the nod

Honestly, I can see a lot of women voting McCain/Palin since hilldog got the boot. They made a good choice imo

edit: Sarah Palin in 2012?

The speech was ok from the standpoint of the RNC but not a grandslam. She needed to talk more about where she stands on issues and what she will do as VP. So far she is still unknown by a lot of people.

Also her jab at Obama about her being mayor and him being a community organizer was just dumb. Her town has only 6000 people in it. I would argue that being a community organizer in Chicago, you will effect more peoples lives than 6000 and in a more positive way than a mayor.

Some poor reporter asked Newt the wrong question. :lol:

So is anyone at this convention ready to acknowledge the economy yet?

hahahaha :lol:

God I hate her so much.
I hate the people that support that dumb bitch even more.
I didn’t know it was possible to be this frustrated about the candidates.

“When the cloud of rhetoric has passed, when the roar of the crowd fades away, when the stadium lights go out and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot, what exactly is our opponent’s plan?” she asked, to a roar from delegates at the Republican National Convention. “What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger, take more of your money, give you more orders from Washington and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world.”

WHY IN THE FUCK are you harassing someone about wanting to save the planet? WTF is wrong with you people?

like lowering taxes and cutting spending? :stuck_out_tongue:

raising taxes on the rich, cutting spending, and lowering borrowing > lowering taxes

For a professionally written speech I wasn’t terribly impressed, although she did better than Biden did in delivery. Then again Biden and Obama wrote their own speeches.

Newt seemed to have forgotten he’s not in a debate…
