First.

"Shake yer reptile, baby!"

i can't wait

The stupidity and hypocrisy flowing like a mighty river off the stage.
The traitor (secessionist, same difference) bimbo gets to be applauded for stringing two words together.
Let's see her address the current investigation into her abuse of power as Governor. As President, will that be hard habit to break?
Let's see her address her hypocritical response on abstinence and teen pregnancy.
Let's see her address her successful pork barrel politicking.
Let's see her address the fact that she doesn't believe global warning exists and that polar bears' habitats are not disappearing, even in Alaska.
She's only got 15 minutes.
Watch every right winger praise whatever she says as if she were God's gift to public speaking.
They've become quite the delusion bunch.

Palin to jab Obama, cast herself as outsider
By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer Liz Sidoti, Associated Press Writer – 13 mins ago


ST. PAUL, Minn. – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin cast herself as an outsider and took a swipe at Democrat Barack Obama on Wednesday in what was the most anticipated speech of the Republican National Convention. In remarks released in advance of her appearance, she pledged that as John McCain's running mate, she wanted to go to Washington not to seek the media's approval but "to serve the people of this country."

Depicting herself as "just your average hockey mom," Palin described her political career as mayor of her small town before her election as governor.

"Since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves," Palin said. "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a `community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities."

Palin didn't mention Obama by name but her target was obvious: Obama began his political life as a community organizer.

Palin also said she was not part of the permanent "Washington elite." She said some in the media think that makes her unqualified.

"Here's a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion — I'm going to Washington to serve the people of the country," Palin said.

The speech was the first-term Alaska governor's first chance to fully introduce and define herself to the American public.

"Here's how I look at the choice Americans face in this election," she said. "In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change." It was another indirect dig at the Democratic presidential nominee.

In what was clearly the most important speech in her life, Palin went over her experience as a public servant. "I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town. I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids' public education better," she said.

"When I ran for city council, I didn't need focus groups and voter profiles because I knew those voters, and knew their families, too," she said.

In the excerpts released by the McCain campaign, Palin emphasized energy policy, one of her areas of expertise.

"Our opponents say, again and again, that drilling will not solve all of America's energy problems — as if we all didn't know that already. But the fact that drilling won't solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all," she said.

Palin has been an aggressive advocate for drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, while McCain opposes drilling there. That difference was not touched on in the excerpts.

Palin said that in a McCain-Palin administration "we're going to lay more pipelines, build more nuclear plants, create jobs with clean coal, and move forward on solar, wind, geothermal, and other alternative sources. We need American energy resources, brought to you by American ingenuity, and produced by American workers.

Watch her address nothing of substance and parrot all the keywords to keep the hysterical right wing satisfied.

Not dissimilar to what Obumba did last week to the delusional left wingers.

Just like a right winger. . . attempting to co-op my use of delusion to be abusive.

I don't even think you care if you are persuasive or not, you just want to dig.

Are you serious? Continually trying to call me out for digging?

That is all you and your lot have been doing on here for three days straight.
"Where are all the GOP'ers"
"It sure is quiet in here. Where are all the conservatives at?"

Everyone on here is trying to dig. Only seems that the 4 conservatives get called out for it.
I know you are upset because you want this to be your little liberal hide-a-way.
But, of course, you are not a liberal, you just play one on the org.

Well you there are some people who reflexively go ape-shit at the mention of communism, and are just short of apoplectic at the word socialism.

It's 10:30 p.m. EST. I'm in bed already. Has Palin begun?

She's cute.

She's charasmatic and pretty well-spoken and a bit of a crowd pleaser. Her "I'm so down home, I'm just a hockey mom who joined the PTA" thing is quite charming.

I don't agree with a thing she's saying.

But if she weren't running for VP, I'd probably like her.

If nothing else, that speech kept her on the ticket!

"Being a mayor of a small town is kind of like being a community organizer, except being a mayor involves doing actual work."

the diversity in the room was breathtaking.

You noticed too?

I never ever ever want any conservative and/or Republican speak on morals honesty, integrity or any other such bullshit again.

Instead of giving us why she'd make a good VP, we got to hear what she doesn't like about Obama and how John McCain would make a good president. And the thing about being an advocate for disabled kids? Oh my fucking god!!! Was she serious? Where is the advocacy now from either her or McCain? Oh, but wat!!! No one cares until something happens to them directly.

Fuck her. Fuck McCain.

PS, what a boring bunch of crap.
