Sorry | 4:32 p.m. Sept. 4, 2008
I am not a lib, but feel that Sarah Palin would do more to serve her country by
staying home and raising her young children. She would be more of a role model
if she would have forgone the honor for a greater calling.
Ha ha ha!!! | 4:35 p.m. Sept. 4, 2008
You libs crack me up! I just love to see you whine! The more you cry about
Governor Palin, the more you expose yourselves for the hypocrits you really are.
You are an intolerant and dishonest lot and if the truth jumped up and smacked
you in the face you wouldn't recognize it or admit it. The more you
protest and vilify Governor Palin, the more I am convinced that she was the
right choice for the republican party VP candidate. She was awesome last night!
Go Sarah!

Huntsman - you're no Palin | 4:44 p.m. Sept. 4, 2008
Must be a wrenching time for Huntsman, who for the last four years purposefully
forsook his conservative political roots turned into a moderate to
moderate/liberal in hopes it would propel him into national politics. It must
be gut wrenching for Huntsman to now watch Sarah Palin get rewarded with
national political prominence for doing what Huntsman lacked the courage and
conviction to do: stick to conservative ideals as governor and not waffle into
a semi-moderate/liberal in hopes it will help propel you to higher national
levels.
Take a lesson from Sarah Palin, Governor Huntsman. Courage, sticking to your convictions, not holding your finger to the wind to see what position (e.g., sidling up to Schwarzenegger on global warming) will curry national political favor.
Governor Huntsman, I saw Sarah Palin speak last night, and let me tell you Governor Huntsman: You are no Sarah Palin. Read it and weap. You sold your philosophical soul and she didn't, and she got rewarded. There is a God in Heaven after all.

Some of these comments are hilarious. Libs railing on conservatives about
family values. Interesting coming from the people who have made it their lifes
ambition to destroy the family.

Some of you people writing on this blog are nothing but trouble makers. Why
can't you people accept this intelligent woman? She got more going for her
than most of you out there. The envy is unbelievable!

It is fascinating how bitter the opponents of Gov. Palin are tonight.
Is it because she exposed Mr. Obama for what he is -- a person of virtually no accomplishment and no achievements? No.
Is it because she powerfully outlined how John McCain's courageous strengthens his preparedness to serve as President? No.
The reason that Obama and his folks can't stand Sara Palin is because she represents everything she is not:
* She stood up to corruption in Alaska and brought about true reform.
* She cut taxes and reduced government spending.
* She connects with real Americans who live in small towns, struggle with their families and deal with real life.
* She bonded with every family who has a member with special needs.
Gov. Palin shredded Obama's claim for the Presidency. He isn't prepared. He wants to go in the wrong direction. They despise her. But, America loves her --- and will help put her in the vice presidency.

Davis County Independent | 5:16 p.m. Sept. 4, 2008
Governor Palin did a good job in addressing her convention friends. It was clear
that she's struck a nerve with a lot of conservative voters who were eager
to cheer and support her. Her speech validated for me, a lifelong independent,
that the Republican Party is not the place for me. She embraced the attack dog
role too zealously and her sarcasm and mockery of Americans unlike her (why
attack community organizers?) revealed a temperament that I find untrustworthy.
Obama and Biden get my vote and I'm joining the Democratic Party. For me,
it's time to get further away from Rove politics and work with a party that
represents a broader, more balanced representation of America. God bless
America!

I am greatly offended the baby daddy was on stage. I turned it off. This is an

noses in YOUR daughters behavior. I'll teach my daughter a better way,
thank you very much. In fact, I'll be home teaching her. My career can
wait.
Grimble | 5:32 p.m. Sept. 4, 2008
*She stood up to corruption in Alaska and brought about true reform.
And then lawyered up to try to push her ethics investigation bombshell back past the election.
* She cut taxes and reduced government spending.
She reduced ALASKA'S spending by increasing FEDERAL spending through all the pork she sought. She kept the money for the Bridge to Nowhere!
* She connects with real Americans who live in small towns, struggle with their families and deal with real life.
She doesn't connect with me and my problems. She's not offering me any tax cuts. She's not offering a strategy for alternative energy or health care reform. She's not offering anything to towns that have lost factories and jobs. And her family sure doesn't reflect my family's values! I'm from a small town too, and I live in one now. Just because she's a snowbilly doesn't mean she's capable of being VP.
* She bonded with every family who has a member with special needs.
"Bonded?" What kind of Oprah-talk is that supposed to be? Bonded? That's what you do with a TV character.
She proved nothing but her ability to throw out Limbaugh lines.

TO Greatly Offended: Even is you do stay home with your child that is still no
guarantee that it will not happen. Remember you will also have grandchildren
and until you have no liability you should not throw stones. You will be the
first to defend your daughter if it happens and that is what she is doing.
Shame on you for judging her!!!!! This is a non issue!!!!!!
Scott | 5:45 p.m. Sept. 4, 2008
I was saddened to arrive at my office today (90% women) and hear everyone
ripping Gov Palin to shreds. BTW, I live outside of Utah. Did they hear the
same speech I heard? Or are they so past feeling and brainwashed that they
won't even consider their options?
All I heard today was a critique of how she dressed and sounded and what a witch she was. When pushed for a better reason not to vote for McCain/Palin, I heard 1) because the Republicans have got us in a huge deficit and 2) Palin doesn't have any experience.
Wow, if this is today's female voter, we're in trouble. My response would be to #1 - go take an economics class and learn there are economic cycles. Also, the folks w/the "D" behind their names have been running congress the past two years. And #2, uh, Obama was in the Senate about 140 days before he "called in sick" and started campaigning for President. You call that experience? Name ONE thing Obama has ever done. Just one. I don't mean what he's GOING to do, I mean what he HAS done.

Amazing | 6:02 p.m. Sept. 4, 2008
It amazes me that basically no one arguing the points here of the cadidates had
never ever seen or heard of Sarah Palin, and then in one speech(wrote by a party
writer) now everyone thinks she is so wonderful. What is wrong with people
today? Are there no checks and balances in anything anymore? Are one night
stands popular? I am totally disgusted with politics and the judgement mentality
of todays citizens. Just look at what we have dealt with this past 8 years.
Totally disgusting.
AL | 6:08 p.m. Sept. 4, 2008
To Grimble: What do you think alternative energy solutions are going to do?
Create jobs, maybe!!!! Drill oil, what is that going to do but create jobs?
You were not listening to the under tones of her speech. Yes, and special needs
people will get the understanding what comes from only someone who has
experienced it first hand. These are her strengths it is to bad you can't
see that!!!!!!

AL | 6:15 p.m. Sept. 4, 2008
To Amazing: Her speech was not written by anyone. She had to wing it because
the speech that came up on the telaprompter was not the right speech. That
should tell you what a great speaker she really is. Most of us would not be able
to do that on national television and in front of so many people!!!!!!

It amazes me how stupid liberals are. Why don't you guys practice what you preach once in awhile, instead of shifting your no standard ways around to others. You guys believe in all the vices of the world and than turn around and throw stones at good people. I think Sarah Palin is just what true all Americans need. Thank you.

Hey everyone, lets give credit for Palins speech to where it belongs!!! Her
speech writers did a wonderful job, they got it pretty well right! And her
experience as a sports presenter really paid off because she used the prompters
like a real professional! So all of you out there saying how wonderful her
speech was certainly need to look at other aspects of her life to see if she has
what it takes to be VP. You cant lead on a script!!

I have seen this before: GOP and Goldwater in 64... and they went down in

I hope and pray for my nation that it happens again. Obama is so good and decent.

Harvard educated. Head of the hard to earn Harvard Law Review. That must be why
the folks are so upset. Jealousy. McCain graduated from the naval academy: 5th
from last in his class.
Now that is a difference. Not to mention the Keating incident, the wife left at the hospital while he jumped in the sack with the rich other woman.
Give me Obama any day.

Missed oppurtunity | 6:47 p.m. Sept. 4, 2008
I think John McCain missed a prime oppurtunity that could have changed politics
and won my vote. Unfortunately, he decided against selecting Joe Liberman; thus
perpetuating the great schism in our nation between Democrats and Republicans.
Oh, well. With all the pressure he probably recieved, I can't blame him.

In other threads you have claimed to be a devout Mormon. Yet, you embrace a party whose major platform achievements in the past twenty years include civil unions, legalized marriage between two members of the same sex, and the rise of Planned Parenthood. This more closely matches your Mormon family values? Can you spell d-i-s-c-o-n-n-e-c-t?

hard core lefties that compose Clinton's base are going to vote for a
conservative woman.
Again, it just proves how lazy libs about seeking out the true facts about a campaign. Do some research and stop watching ET and the other tabloid shows and stop browsing the US weekly and Cosmo mags at the check out to find out about your candidates.

BigD Coug: Millions of Republican families struggle every year to get by with no

home to stay strongly involved in the lives of the kids. Those heroic parents
have been celebrated at every GOP convention except this one. Your contempt for
their economic sacrifice shows how out of touch you are with the

B Williams | 9:10 p.m. Sept. 4, 2008
Governor Palin is very charismatic and engaging, but she spoke almost nothing
about any issues last night. All she did was speak about her biography (which is
unique and interesting), and attack Senator Obama. She didn't even really
attack him on issues, she just sarcastically mocked him, his work as a community
organizer, his popularity, his stage at the DNC (what does that have to do with
anything?). Obama and Biden's responses today were both very professional
and presidential (and took the high road). The entire RNC convention has been
only about McCain's honorable service or Palin's hunting/hockey mom
exploits. Almost nothing has been said about the issues or the Republican's
plans to fix the mess the last 8 years have put our country in.
Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager even said:
"This election is not about issues.. it is about a composite view of what people take away from these candidates."
This is wrong. This election is about the issues. Yes, Obama is a great speaker that inspires. This does not disqualify him. Look at his website and see what his plans are. Please don't just believe Rush/Hannity/Glenn Beck's talking points.

Tonight John McCain extended a hand of friendship to anyone on either side of
the isle who will work to make America strong, claiming that we are leaders in
the free world. He knows how to lead and we are lucky to have him. He can use
his experience in Washington to limit big government, lower taxes, and find
other alternatives for energy. Lets work together to make a better America.
Lets end this war safely and bring our troops home. Lets find solutions for
health care, and immigration. He addressed all of these issues and more. Those
who heard him should understand his sincerity.
He stated that he would rather lose this election than lose the war on terror!!!!!

Re: Scott
Illinois State Senate 1996-2004
*Pushed through an expansion of early adulthood education.
*Pushed through a law requiring that all interrogations and confessions be videotaped after several death-row inmates were found innocent.
*Worked with Democrats and Republicans to create Illinois' Earned Income Tax Credit, which gave $100 million in tax cuts to families within three years.
US Senate 2004-
*Worked with Republican Tom Coburn to require that a list of how every cent of tax dollars are spent is posted for public viewing.
*Traveled to former Soviet Union with Republican Dick Lugar to begin a new effort to collect dangerous weapons (nuclear or otherwise.)
*Member of Veterans Affairs Committee; worked to get his veteran constituents their promised disability pay. Also working to prepare the VA for veterans soon to returning form Iraq and Afghanistan.
And trust me, there's a *lot* more.
Keep saying that Obama hasn't done anything, though. Sure beats doing the research and thinking for yourself. Maybe if I say that Scarlett Johansson wants me to run away with her enough times, it'll actually happen.

re: Freeman | 9:32 p.m. Sept. 4, 2008
I'm not gimble, but let me answer you in my way.
I am LDS. I am a center-right conservative. My party left me. I don't agree that Abortion should be illegal. I think they should not happen, but free agency is a bugger. I don't agree with gay marriage. Civil unions, I might be able to deal with, but not marriage. Civil rights for Gays? You betcha. I want drilling and lower gas prices, I want a healthcare saftety net so the emergency rooms are not filled up with those that can only go there for primary care. I want lower taxes and more accountablity in government. I don't want a rockstar for a president. But I don't want a hotshot who shoots from the hip either. I want families to be together forever, I don't care for divorce, although I am on my second (and last) marriage. Let's just say he had the Elton John syndrome. I want freedom of worship, and not be called a cult member because of my faith. I want to raise my kids in a safe place.
Which party am I? neither. But more likely, DNC.
