Ahhhh, did ya see that debate last night? I like joe bidden and I am a Democrat so I thought he did a great job. He did not attack Sarah - he did not make any major gaffs and he spun the facts the way politicians always do. Had this been any other race - I would have been all so very pleased with the job Joe did and so would you and you know it!
But- there was something different about this debate and this race - very different for us Democrats this year - many of us were rooting for the other side- why?
Well - we were because for the first time in maybe a long time we put party politics aside and looked at things from a different perspective. We decided that party politics was not the be all and end all - not this year and sadly - maybe never again. No- this year - we must put country first.
Our party in an effort to take back the White House stooped lower than the other party has and without our permission to do, so selected a candidate who is attempting to brainwash the masses and take away our inalienable rights.
Our party- violated women's rights and eliminated a much stronger candidate in order to ensure they could get their own way against the people and usurped the rights of the people. Our party left us.
This year we find ourselves a people without a party - a people fighting against the shell of a party that was in order to break the backs of those who took it over. We the people have little recourse but to join with another party in order to defeat those who would take away that which our founders fought and died to give us.
So last night - when a scrappy, smart, terrific gal from Alaska with a few issues that did not quite match mine stood her ground against Joe and promised to give me back my government- I rooted for her! When she gave us her expected party spin as expected I took it with the same grain of salt I have always swallowed when the Dems spin.
And I loved the fact that with five (5) weeks under her belt in Washington world the outsider from Alaska held her own against the good old boy who has known the insider ropes for well over 30 years.
Yes - you did a good job Joe and you were a gentleman and I appreciated that and respect you for that but Sarah won my heart Joe. Not because she knew more but because she stood up to you and stands up for all of us and says we are coming at cha! And ya know Joe- I believe her- I just don't believe you.
One thing you drove home over and over last night was the track record - well Joe- you have one too. That track record tells the whole story - you can't hide. First you said one thing about Obama and now you are saying something else.
In addition, our party made it clear there is no place for women at the top in our party. Clearly we had a stellar candidate who would have won this race hands down against anyone the Republicans would have run. Clearly she garnered more votes in the primary than any other candidate in history but this party not only ran her out - they allowed her to be mistreated and violated leaving only the Republicans to come to her defense.
Finally, in the Republican Party there is room at the top for women- Go Sarah Go!

I agree that Governor Sarah Palin comes accross as a real person that one feels you can trust. a trustworthy President or a Vice President is one of the most vital traits in a representative form of government.In the almost daily phone calls we made during the primaries from Senator Clinton's Headquarters in Arlington ,VA, those who were voting for her would usually gave reasons why they would not vote for Senator Obama--- they did not trust him and he lacked experience. It is not surprsing that the majority of
Cinton supporters will not vote for Senator Obama. For those who support Governor Palin, the need is to encourage early voting, encourage her supporters to vote and help in getting supporters to get to the voting booth. Jim
I was so proud of Sarah Palin on Thursday night...she showed what she was truly made up..we all saw that for ourselves and can put aside how the media dissed her....the media...in my opinion our their own personal enemies...they say the things they do because they don't know any better...Sarah could lead this country should the need arise as she has the grit...I have complete confidence in her..she was able to take on Joe Biden...Sarah stood up to him and never flinched...There were a few times that Joe stuttered...because, he really didn't know how to respond back to her...it pleased me beyond words...Sarah can relate to us middle class people...Sarah has opened those doors for us women...And..she has the support of the Republican Party...unlike the Democrats and how they shamefully treated Hillary Clinton..they should be so a shamed of themselves...only because they knew that Hillary could run this country...No...they pushed her aside to pick Barack Obama and I won't acknowledge him should he become our POTUS because he lacks experience...he may talk the talk...but, I feel when push comes to shove and he needs to make those major decisions...he won't be able to...no way will he walk the walk!!
I also will vote McCain/Palin for 2008, although I was one of the 18 million people for Hillary. I will vote McCain/Palin not because John McCain chose a woman as his VP candidate, but because the current DNC selected a "weak" candidate to represnt the party. The too-far- left behavior drove me away from the Democratic Party. The main stream media is doing everything they can to destroy Sarah Palin, just what they did to Hillary.
MY VOTE FOR MCCAIN/PALIN HAS ALREADY BEEN CAST BY ABSENTEE BALLOT.TO BAD IT WASN'T CLINTON/PALIN.
