:rolleyes:

but you could watch 1/2 dozen speech's aimed at him.

do you have to be old, white, and rich to gain admission to that convention?;)

What's up with Newt? He looks miserable.

The folks looking for government handouts are with the Dems.

So clever and thought out...worthy of praise.

And the old, fat, greedy, rich, xenophobic white people in gated communities are with the Republicans. Your point?

Very, very good.

Mommy would get her back twerked by the old me...:eek:

Fog those glasses right up!

McCain and the Repub's seem to know what they're doing. Well.....











thud

she was dynamite!

LOL...that was a wise ploy putting her on right after Guliani. She was actually entertaining after that.

I can't wait till she "lays more pipeline". It seems that there has been enough of that in her family lately.

I think the point is that old, fat, greedy, rich, xenophobic white people do not need government handouts.

Nahhh, that was not the point.

We will now attempt to put this in a happy twisted mode:

The Democratic party is very inclusive, everyone is welcome.
The Republican party believes self-reliance leads to a sense of
accomplishment and as a side effect might even make one
financially capable.

i liked romney better.

he's an easier target. loved his right of ghengis khan act tonight. so easy to see the ambition boiling over.

she's a freakin' assassin with a smile.

she still has to introduce herself as more than someone that doesn't like dem's but that was an effective speech.

She's a very good public speaker

Well at least it isn't with the same sex...which has plagued the republicans of late.

Earlier I was critical of Romney and Huckabee...they stunk! Rudy, as always, gave a good speech....but Palin knocked it out of the park, very very good! We'll see how she holds up when answering reporters and against Biden in the debate but tonight...a new Republican star was born. Sure, the speech was written for her, but her delivery was spot on...she sure appears sincere and wow...a fighter for sure! Even brought up Harry Truman...

Last comment ever on a horse racing board about politics from this poster...

I do not live in a gated community. I'm very well read in term of American history. If you respond with an intelligent response instead of political cliches, I'll gladly post a reply. But when you spout typical Democrat left wing cliches, you have exposed yourself as a left wing Democrat hack more suited for posting on Daily Koz.

I was impressed. A very good speech and her delivery was flawless.

Where are you going with this weak bull s h i t? The passive agressive approach never works on here.

You are better off not commenting like you originally said because you never really said anything anyway.

As if 'people on welfare love Democrats' isn't a right-wing political cliche. Not even going to touch the racial undertones on it either. Next.

"Hey they use stupid cliches...I can too!"

Pretty much.

Let's not fight the culture war here tonight gang,lol

great speech by a real woman..........not a chipmunk in a pantsuit!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you for your inciteful comments.

I thought you werent going to post on here again? LOL

Excellent speech by Gov Palin this evening. Very impressive for someone who has been thrust into the national spot light in relative short order. She did a great job firing up her party. Looks like the VP debate(s) will be better/more entertaining then the Prez debates.

One thing for sure though; if they think the media has been tough on her prior to tonite.....? Those dogs be salivating now.

after the VP debate Bidens head will be hanging like a trophy on Sarahs wall, right between a moose and a caribou.

A corrupt fraud like Lynne Spears Palin didn't need to go into a long 'Sar-casta-bitch with a smile' routine and take cracks at Obama, Biden, Reid, and the supposed liberal press to fire up her party. Not to mention the "Washington elite" that includes the stalwart on the top of her ticket.

I heard nothing at all on policy - and I guess her great governing accomplishment is that she sold an airplane on E-bay (to get attention) and fired her private chef.

She left her city in debt as a mayor, she's already under investigation for abuse of power after only 20 months as a Gov, and her daughter...

Let's see -- knocked up, and posing all over the internet with booze and making out with other chicks... before the age of 18.

But with such a stellar resume in her own home, it's hard to imagine her being anything but a raging success when given a lot more responsibility.

She still is the same creep with the grand idea of paying hunters $150 for each left foreleg they cut off of wolves and bring back.



She still is the same creep with the grand idea of suing the federal government to take polar bears off of the endangered species list.

But hey, this is the same lady who thinks a female ought not have the right to abort even in the case of rape and incest.

Everyone knows that people like Lindsey Graham, Tom Ridge, Joe Liberman, and Joe Biden are John McCain's real vice presidents - they are all going to have a much big factor on policy than Palin.

McCain is a 72-year-old cancer survivor - Lynne Spears Palin as a VP nom is going to be a great asset as far as fund raising and firing up the Christian nutjobs who don't trust him - but we are one old man's death away from having a psycho pander pick for a president.

Nothing like a corrupt earmark queen who calls herself a reformer.

It will surely be an epic battle of lame sarcasm.

Palin trying to pretend as though she has better credentials than Obama was amusing.

I was almost expecting her to carry her comparisons back to college days. Surely she could have pretended as though her broadcasting degree from Idaho was more impressive than Obama being President of the Harvard Law Review.

devil's advocate time. obama has his written for him as well, and his delivery (from what i hear, i've never listened to him) is superb. people say he's a good speaker, but when he hasn't got his lines prepared to read, he's quite the stammerer, with many 'uhs' thrown in-so i disagree that's he a good speaker, more like a good reader. i don't know if she'll turn out to be the same way.
i watched as much of this convention as the dems, zero. they don't appeal to me at all.

as for huck, i'm not surprised he stank. can't stand that guy.

Huck gave by far and away the best speech of the night.

He didn't get any loud long roars because he didn't do much trashing. It was a great populist speech without a lot of cheap shots. He tossed the bible beaters some red meat - but he didn't go overboard.

Drugs:

These conventions are basically large pep rallies for their respective parties. The coverage I watched from both conventions, I didn't hear much policy talk, certainly less last night. The Repubs had an advantage with the convention scheduled second. They were on attack mode last night and they were swinging bigs sticks which I fully expected. I give the Gov props because I thought she was very effective. A bit over the top at times with her bashing, but effective nonetheless.

Trust me, we are going to learn a whole lot more about Gov Palin in the weeks to come and I expect public will get to see who she truly is and what she's all about.

It's too bad Tim Russert is not here enjoy all this.

:tro: :tro: :tro:

Devil's Advocate, yeah sure. :rolleyes:

Obama wrote his convention speech, by the way.

Though I agree that he does say 'uh' a lot when not giving a speech.

First off, DrugS, I need to see the pics of 17 yo daughter kissing other girls.

Before anyone signs on their support for Palin, realize that she thinks her constituents should pray for a $30 billion pipeline because it's God's will, states the Iraq war is God's will, etc

Unfortunately, I have experience with this type of Evangelical with a child born out of wedlock over 20 years ago. I was still in college, she had graduated. She was praying for a Volvo station wagon to replace her old Chevy Nova. God answered her prayers with a Volvo station wagon(in reality, her parents were wealthy and went out and bought her one)
Our major undoing was when our boy was about 6 years old and was visiting me in the summer up north here. He wanted to go skinny dipping in my parents pool. I allowed him to, no one else was there and I watched from the deck. Well, the next day his mother called. After the phone conversation, he told me it was a "bad" thing he had done and that "Gold told me it was a bad thing". My visitation was stopped due to this incident

I don't like these hypocrites, at all

I realize that.

Obama certainly talked about policy quite a bit in his speech. He didn't exactly go in depth into 12 point plans and all - but he touched on a lot.

All Palin was good for was a whole lot of sarcasm with a smile about nothing that matters to 99% of people.

Other than drilling for oil and building pipelines - you got NOTHING. Basically, here is Palin's entire speech without all the sarcasm.

you seem to be real impressed by that "President of Harvard Law Review" thing. for me when assessing presidential qualifications, that ranks just barely above chairman of the Russian Communist Party. he seldom leads with that. in fact his executive experience argument from a couple days back was that he has run his presidential campaign, which isn't even true.

OK enough of all of this partisan sh*t!

MFK for you DEM's
