- Is it me, or, does Sarah Palin strike you as a less smart, less funny, less atractive version of Tine Fey (of 30 Rock & SNL fame)?
- Is it me or, did Palin clown Barack for being a community organizer? I mean, he's not on their level, but in truth, MLK and Ghandi were community organizer's too. Like, at the end of the day, aren't we trying to better our communities?
- Although I think the move was insulting, desperate and transparent, I have to give props where props are due, the GOP massive have positioned themselves well with Palin. They put her in a position to go after Barack in a manner that McCain, as a white man can't, but Palin as women (in general) can. They kind of take the race thing off the table for the Dems, but, if Biden or Barack go after her too
hard, they can play the gender card and pick up a few sympathy votes in the process. The solution: Send Hilary after her to diffuse the situation. Palin should be Hillary's primary focus from now until November 4th.
- Have you noticed how they're playing the economy card in the GOP...? Uuuummm, why? Didn't the GOP get us in this mess in the first place?
- Why do people say they still don't know Barack Obama, and then turn and embrace Palin after 2 days?

Bottom line. This whole voting your party thing is stupid, and the stakes are way too high to stand on bullshit ideals. Yes, I have a lot of views that fall in line with the Dems and I am registered as one, but I probably could agree with some of what the GOP was saying if they weren't so blindly self-righteous.

Hey, I believe that a woman should have the right to choose, which is a really easy thing to say, unless you've been in the position to actually have to make a decision. At the end of the day, a woman should have the right to do with her body what she wants. However, I am for better birth control protocol, and while we're at it, better sex education and STI/STD prevention on a government level. I'm not for abortion, but I am for a woman's right to choose, y'dig?

This election, however, is going to really take the country in a different direction. I think, no believe in my heart of hearts that Barack gives us all the chance to unite and build together. The GOP is too damn divisive. They don't run on fact as much as they do snide remarks, half-truths and smear campaigns. However, that's what has worked, and time and again we've paid the price for it. I want better for my unborn children, and I have no confidence that McCain or Palin have their best interests in mind.

Lastly, I have to look at Palin like a presidential candidate, because, let's face it...McCain is old. If omething happened to him, do we really want Palinas president?

Okay, I'm goofing off...back to the McCain speech (which I've missed so far)...
