It amazes me to watch the Republicans at their convention talk about their superior ideas and beliefs for the future, while slamming the Democrats, as they diligently ignore the huge, filthy, disgusting ten ton Elephant in the room; being what they, as a party, have done to this country and the world during the last eight years. The RNC Mantra seems to be %u201Ctalk about the present and the future, do not address the past%u201D

It''s like watching participants of a senior talent contest perform a dance routine with full diapers.

The more the radical far left and the Obama Media attack Palin, the more it strengthens the cause of Palin, she diffinately has something that Obama, Biden or even McCain doesnt have, she is one of us. I bet you , she doesnt even have a Million dollars. About time we get someone in office who is truly for the people. It will be a tragedy if America does not elect McCain and Palin. This is one opportunity I will not miss. They have my vote and most of my democrat friends vote. (I live in a small town, so the dems here dont like Obama clinging to guns comment).

Mccain campaign claims Plain''s only contacts with AIPdate back to the early 90''s other than casual conversations with members. However, Gov. Palin records comments for the 2008 AIP convention in Alaska according to the Youtune video containing the comments. This organization calls for succession by Alaska from the US Government and infiltration of the US Government. Then she attacks Washington insiders. What else would one expect from an Alaskan Separatist or one who is sympathetic to their cause?

This is from the governor of the "largest state" (population 670,053). "Vetted" by the voters of Alaska (114,697 of them). Uses her children as political capital. Tells women with special needs children that they will have a friend and advocate in the White House if she is elected. (However, her special needs child will enjoy a significantly higher healthcare benefit than theirs if theirs have any at all. She is against any type of universal healthcare and she is strongly against abortion.) She is being investigated for alleged abuse of power in her home state. She acts as if, since she is related to someone who will finally go to Iraq, she is foremost aware of what the Iraq occupation is about. I still am not convinced she wasn''t picked for any other reason except that she is a woman with the hopes that she can shield herself by hiding behind a thin tranparent veil of being victim of sexism.

How can she mention Katrina... and only lament over the strategic petroleum reserve being opened during the shortfall and say nothing about the devastation to hundreds of thousands of peoples lives, homes and communities. Not to mention over 1800 people died.... but it is really sad that we tapped our oil reserve?

At least let people get back home form the most recent storm.

She sounds REALLY out of touch to me

Pallin mentioned affordable health care briefly at the beginning and never referred to it again. If you think this arctic woman far removed from national and international politics demonstrates McDuck''s "good judgment", then you''re on a permanent vacation from reality. Clever people wrote that speech. Her handlers spirited her away for several days to rehearse her thoroughly. She spouted the same old GOP *** as always. This "America First" stuff makes me angry. It''s as if these rich white goons think they have a corner on patriotism. Talk about more of the same---whoomp! There it is!

This is brought to you by the party that squandered a surplus, squandered our moral standing as an honest broker on the international stage, and has emboldened more of our enemies than any other time in the world. These are challenging, hard and dangerous times? You should know, you helped create it! Now I am supposed to believe a candidate that was one of the first to call for an invasion of Iraq while we were executing a war against the perpetrators of 9/11? I am supposed to vote for a person who was in 90% lock step with the President who tossed this country into turmoil when he had the chance to increase our moral standing internationally? GIVE ME A BREAK!
