Sorry, hon, but a LITTLE mess??? He lied, point blank, to America, when the truth would have done as well. I don't trust anyone who will betray those closest to him. What can I expect him to do to me?

Lori,
Thank you for you brilliant post! I must say, I am in agreement. I can certainly understand how those in other countries must be baffled by the American people and it's government! I am as well! I know that I am! I too am completely disgusted that Americans are far more interested in a persons sex life than they are of anything else; education, the economy, being flat out lied to in order to start a war!! Not to mention how the Bush administration handled the devestation of Katrina!
In watching the McCain campaign, I am reminded of the "Carl Rove" touch. He is a master and distorting the truth!

I'm praying Obama will win but IF he doesn't and McCain wins and then if something happens to him I seriously doubt that Palin would be able to handle the presidency. I am very uncomfortable with McCain's choice. I think that Joe Biden will squash her in the debates too. That's my 2 cents on the subject.When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.

Yes, thanks, Green. It will be interesting. I am particularly interested to see if she will cut the sarcasm during the debates. I would love to see a debate, debated with dignity and with the candidates sticking to the issues under debate!A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes~Cinderella

if you don't like mudslinging then immediately turn off your TV's. the same media that is endlessly and tirelessly kissing Obamas butt has lead the most horrendous and inductively-reasoned all out onslaught against Palin as though she must be the antichrist. good grief.
all hail the Pravda.
Dexter, loving our country and being critical of our government IS very American. I love it! That could have been the rallying cry of Jefferson.nosce te ipsum

I am not at all referring to the media, in my comments. I had an open mind listening to her speach. She is very poised. But, the first half she was trying to sound like a "hockey mom" and the second half was all cheesey sarcastic mud slinging. I simply do not like cheesey sarcasm.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes~Cinderella

BTW....she had no teleprompter in more than half that speech! the guy (dam guys!) that was running the teleprompter didn't stop it through the extended applauses so she actually did more than half the speech off the cuff. Now that would have flustered the hell out of most anyone I'd think......nosce te ipsum

Perhaps, but, she is a journalist and has also had extensive public speaking experience. For some, public speaking is a real challenge, for other, and I think Palin might be one of those, public speaking is a pleasant experience.
What really ticked me off was Giulliani going over time with his rediculous and annoying speach and so we missed the video of Palins life. It would have been nice to see that!A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes~Cinderella

I don't get the whole health care issue. Clinton actually wrote a fabulous universal program (I had to study it in my undergrad) where the money would come from taxing booze and cigarettes. The reason why it didn't pass is because everyone freaked out that we would "become just like Canada." WTF? Even back then, we were the only "First World" country that didn't provide at least some type of healthcare to our citizens.
And don't get me started on education. I happen to be in Arizona (second to last in everything, LOL) where McCain is our lovely Senator. I can't really say anything negative, but I can't think of anything positive either. I don't really feel like he fights for anything. We have a really great representative in the House (Gabrielle Gifford) who places ads on TV all the time asking for support for certain measures. The first time I saw this I thought, "Wait a minute, it's not election time, she must really care about the state and what we need."
I guess my point is that I haven't seen McCain do a whole lot for my state, so I just can't see him doing a whole lot for the nation.Goal 1: Today

Kate, I agree, Giulianni has a serious case of loving to hear his own voice i think. He acts like a big kid with ADD that just smoked some crack.
Lukalee, you haven't seen McCain do a whole lot but at least you've seen him do something!
speaking of education: why is it that dirt poor countries like India, Malaysia, China, etc etc keep pumping out large volumes of very educated kids with virtually no budget for it. Just goes to show that the missing ingredient is NOT money...it's attitude.
ok, here's Det's magical answer to fund education and affordable (but not socialized) health care.
-fire 50% of all government employees. our government was supposed to be a necessary evil. NOT a bloated power hungry machine that uses it's citizens as fuel.
ever spend much time in Federal and State government offices? You'll be treated to huge volumes of employees sitting on their fat asses yacking about what they saw on TV last night....hour after hour. As the phones ring until the machine records the frustrated callers.
-use welfare programs ONLY for truly desperate households...not for 3rd generation professional welfare addicts.
-stop extending our military all over the world (yes, I'm a Republican and I said that). keep them home, save money and put up some borders that are truly effective. If they get bored they can erect windmills for electricity.
