Same here, I actually liked what she had to say in her nominee acceptance speech. Either way this years election is going to be history making.
I am sure this is why there is only ONE political discussion on this board, but I believe we can have discourse on any topic and so I am going to.
First, you must understand that McCain is not Bush. I know that is the standard democratic talking point that EVERYONE at the Democratic Convention talked about, but it is NOT true.
Two, I would really like to know how OBama is going to make these "changes" he is so on and on about. Where is his track record of working with people on both sides of the isle to get anything accomplished? For that matter, where is his track record on ANYTHING?
I have been hearing about change and working with others since 1992, maybe even longer. I can tell you that one of the reasons I am not a staunch McCain supporter is that he HAS the skills needed to work with both Democrats and Republicans to get things done. This has earned him the monicker of maverick.
Well, I for one can and will say that Palin is the real deal. Obama might wish he picked Hillary...
WHY I AM VOTING DEMOCRAT
I'm voting Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
I'm voting Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they now think we're good people.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday CAN tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.
I'm voting Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe three or four pointy headed elitist liberals need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would NEVER get their agendas past the voters.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe that when the terrorists don't have to hide from us over there, when they come over here I don't want to have any guns in the house to fight them off with.
I'm voting Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.
Makes you wonder why anyone would ever vote Republican, now doesn't it?
Good list Tammie.
I watched the convention this evening. Good speeches by George Bush, Joe Lieberman, and especially Fred Thompson.
I'm looking forward to Sarah Palin's speech tomorrow night. I'm sure it's going to be SOOOOOOO good! She will bring down the house!
McCain/Palin '08
Good convention.... all the ads they are showing against Mc Cain merely represent what the senate majority was the cause of.
Ain't nobody takin' my guns. Besides, gay rights and killing babies not for me. I also don't believe my government is there to take care of me. I will take care of myself-thank you. Obama Bin Ladin can kiss my a$$...
