you do realize that when Bill was in office our surplus was huge, when GW took over he lowered taxes and kept spending and now we are in a hole we might never get out of? SHIT IS NOT FREE!!!
Her speech was ok
To be honest though the whole mayor issue of a town of 6,000 to 8,000 people is not a big deal in the experience category. In my hometown of 35,000 people the mayor literally works about 3 days a week. And yet my town isn’t in 20 million dollars of debt like she left hers.
Ok she was gov of a state for two years. Apparently a outstanding thing she accomplished was selling a jet and getting rid of a personal chef? O well I doubt many people that were not already voting republican are still undecided today. The more reporters dig the more they come up with so I think the jury is still out
But honestly Republicans still refuse to talk about the real issues and I am excited for the debates. I think Biden will eat up Palin in the Vp Debate and I hope they do not reign him in because she is a woman as she showed tonight that she wants to bark so I hope she can handle being barked back at. They are all ready crying sexism
It helps that she has the type of personality of like Your friend’s mother telling you how it is when you’re 10 years old. very sweet and sincere. Hillary on the other had is more like your friend’s bitchy gf telling you how it is.
Honestly, I think she screwed up. No one really cares that much about her family. At least I don’t. I was waiting ten minutes before she even started talking about anything important.
I really dont thinks its that hard.
Economy, cut spending and raise taxes.
Environment, stop population growth and reduce pollution significantly. (preferably reduce population alltogether)
Domestic, consolidate government, make huge cutbacks and return power to more local governments.
^ The problem is the media has made it about her family all week so she had to respond. That, and no one knows who she is so she needed that 10 minute introduction. There will be plenty of time to debate the fine points of policy during, you guessed it, the debates.
I think she’s going to bait Biden into one of his typical talk without thinking comments and her response to it may surpass, “and you sir are no Jack Kennedy”. Biden has a proven track record of having a short fuse and I don’t think it would take much for that little hockey mom outsider who old Washington insider Biden doesn’t think even deserves to be on stage to send him off the deep end.
debates suck. all the prescripted policy lines you already saw in their campaign commercials. Have you ever learned anything new about a candidate from a debate other than they either are good or suck at remembering their answers?
True, but I’m not some retarded undecided voter. I don’t need huge televised events to spoon feed me details because I’ve done my homework on them myself.
I think that fact gets lost on a lot of us who are actually involved politically. None of these ads, or conventions, or guest appearances or even debates are aimed at us. The Joe’s are not going to vote McCain and I’m not going to vote Obama, regardless of what they say on TV. We based our votes on who best lines up with the political ideals we hold most important and we’ve done the homework to make the decision. All this pomp and circumstance is nothing but flash to sway the stupid undecided voters who unfortunately decide close elections.
Some more info for people wondering about what is true on Palin and what is not.
I am 100% for true facts about canidates even if this means debunking some issues that would have been good ammo for Obama/Biden to use against her. But she seems to provide so much ammo that it does not matter
