Waiting for the second of three Presidential debates to start. Earlier today the Obama camp released a statement saying "Obama won't throw the first punch but he will throw the last if necessary". Typical Obama claim victim hood, threaten violence but only in the case of last resort. It's kind of a speak irresponsibly and carry a sponge philosophy.
8:32 I'm making an early prediction. Liberals will claim Obama won, even if he falls of the stage. I'm also saying a little pray for McCain. "No matter what comes out of Obama's liberal mouth, try not to throw him off his stool." In my opinion, John McCain shows a great deal of restraint sharing the stage with someone who has such disdain for America. He's a better man than I am.
I have to admit secretly I'd like to see a Sarah vs Obama debate. By the way did you see the clip of her addressing the protester at her rally? She's still the best argument about McCain's judgement versus Obama's with his choice in Joe Biden. Conservative Quick Witted Alaskan Governor or the Senator from MBNA Bank? Which looks like 'more of the same' to you?
8:54 Major Garrett just told us that Obama has to re-write his 'plan' so his message will be changing in a few days. According to the report more taxes will be part of the plan. I know you are shocked. Obama's first instinct in a financial downturn is to raise taxes and take money directly out of the economy. A study came out today showing that 100 economist decided a Barrack Obama Presidency would lose jobs. Great. Who is voting for this guy again?
9:00 What is wrong with Tom Brokaw? He looks a little woozy.
I'm dying to see what questions Brokaw thinks are important....
Obama is up first on the big bad economy. Obama stands at the podium and delivers a stump speech. "Failed Bush Polices" "Bush" again. I hope those of you with the guide I wrote yesterday are keeping track. No plan but a lot of blame to go around Bush, companies but not the democrats with no mention of a plan to get us out of it.
I want to tell McCain to relax. But he's doing great! As he speaks directly to the crowd you can tell they are listening because he's giving them specific ideas not just campaign rhetoric. He talks about the anger Americans are feeling then tell us what he wants to do to fix the problem. He then says he would put someone in at Treasury Secretary someone the people could trust naming Warren Buffet (an Obama fan) and Meg Whitman (the more likely choice).
When Obama is asked to respond he never names a name not even his own supporter, he falls back on the truncated quote about the fundamentals of the economy. Boo!
McCain is talking about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. He called them a catalyst that started a Forest fire. It's On Like Donkey Kong! Big Mac just told America that Obama has taken more money from the two F's than any other congressional member. I am so Proud of John McCain. America needs you to tell the truth!!
I'm a little surprised by how poorly Obama does when on the defensive. He seems very uncomfortable, I wonder why? Is it because you thought you were getting a pass on your culpability in this mess?He slips in this non-sense about some letter he wrote 'warning' some number cruncher about the fannie mae thing. I can't figure out what he's talking about. I noticed he never rebuted the assertion about the money.
McCain just nailed Obama on his 'letter' to uh..um..someone or other. McCain said I co-authored a bill, and Mr. Obama's name was not on it. Hell yeah!!
What the hell is Obama talking about? I'm trying to keep up but I thought we were talking about the 'trust' issue. Somehow we ended up raising taxes while increasing government spending. Wait did he just say that George Bush had a surplus then turn around and say he came into office with a deficit in the same sentence? I can't wait to hear the liberal kool-aid drinkers explain away this paltry performance.
Obama is up walking around now, why does it always disgust me when he invokes 9/11? Maybe it has something to do with his buddy Bill Ayers? Now He's lying about Off shore drilling, he won't let them drill where there are actual wells. Oh there's that revenue word I warned you about. And now we've "sharing a burden"...here's the pitch for socialism.
McCain is inspired. He's talking Taxes!! He owns Obama on Taxes...ooh he's telling us a secret...It's about small businesses collapsing under Obama's plan. McCain's specificity is destroying Obama's vague ideals of 'fairness'. Clarity thy name is McCain.
McCain compares Obama's policies to nailing jello to a wall. Nice I like the visual. As McCain referred to Obama's statement that he couldn't raise taxes if the economy was bad...he said "I've got some News, Mr Obama it's bad." That Was Awesome! Line of the night.
McCain just gave a very thoughtful description of what he sees as the answer, bring together the brightest minds in America and come up with a plan that will work. The current structure is outdated. Brilliant. He discusses his idea to help out those with bad mortgages, something he mentioned as far back as April. Is it expensive yes? But he says we need it. Well we need something. That's for sure.
Quick Rhetorical Question: How will Barrack Obama be able to work with the other party when he can't even stand listening to other people talk?
There he goes again... talking about 'investments'. I get so annoyed when Obama makes purposely misleading statements. I think we were supposed to be talking about Global Warming certainly not an attack subject for McCain. Since he supports the nonsense at least publicly.
McCain straightens out the record on the so-called energy bill that Obama accused McCain of voting against. The bill was a subsidized filled nightmare, but McCain informs the crowd Obama voted for it. There's a sound bite for you!
This pitch for Nationalized Health Care is terrifying. The fact that all of my personal health records would appear on a government server and be shared throughout. Did anyone else read 1984? I don't want any government employee to have access to my health records. How many stories just recently have you read about laptops that turn up missing that have vital records on them? Imagine now it's everyone in America's personal health information. Scared yet?
Thank you, John McCain for explaining why opening up the insurance market with the tax credit we can all get better more affordable health care. He also makes a point I've only heard rumbles about before, alleging Obama's health care plan fines you if you don't participate. Charging Obama's "never told us how much the fine would be.." Interesting, more new information. I like it.
"Look" says Obama then tells the story of his mother's struggle with cancer. Obama is now trying to defend his health care position. Government needs to get involved in insurance now too. Can't we just deal with the nice securities companies we just bought first?
Obama continually talks over his time, yet somehow still fails to ever directly answer the question.
McCain takes a jab on Obama: Did he ever tell us the amount of the fine?
I have to admit McCain's got spunk. When pointing out Obama's inexperience and naivety. He quoted Joe Biden stealing his "on the job training" line.
Obama is full of it. He just said that preventative action for the Holocaust or other civil rights issues, but he voted against going into Iraq. This guy would have voted against going into Europe prior to WWII. Who is he kidding?
McCain schools Obama on what a real foreign policy plan looks like.
Obama is talking about Pak-E-Stan again. More bombing talk? No. Iraq bad. Pak-E-Oh he said it differently this time. Someone probably told him, try not to say it with an accent, people laugh at you.
McCain uses the 'talk softly and carry a big stick" line! Ha! He said Obama just "Talks Loudly".
Wow. Big "O" isn't very strong under pressure. He's rambling.
McCain is tearing up the stage. I honestly didn't know he had it in him.
Obama said Pak-E-Stan again.
I think Obama is actually learning about the new democracies in Eastern Europeans, he appears to be hearing new information.
Is Obama psychic? His last diatribe involved seeing the future or something. I'm not trying to be trite. I really got lost in as Charlie Gibson would say "a blizzard of words". Do you think he does tarot too?
Brokaw announces the Two Question Warning.
A retired military man asks: How strongly would you support Israel? Would the UN matter?
McCain thanks the man for his service, then says 'of course we couldn't take it to the UN security council' as everyone knows that China and Russia wouldn't support it. Well everyone but your opponent, who didn't seem to realize that about a month ago.
I still haven't decided whether we're going to the UN or not with Obama. He's talking about the oil industry in Iran and admits he'll sit down with Ahmadinejad. Proving once again he has no concept of our enemies. Even if we help Iran grow, He will still want us dead. He'll just have more resources.
Brokaw asks "Zen like Question"...What don't you know? And how will you learn it?
Obama makes the case for socialism and title 9. Gives closing pitch. I'm still not sure what he doesn't know or how he'll learn it.
McCain said 'I don't know is what we all don't know. What will happen at home and around the word.' John McCain tells America he believes in this Country and he knows how to get through difficult times. I teared up as he swore he would fight for America the country he loves. When he tells me he is putting his Country First, I believe him.
McCain is Clear Winner. I don't care what you hear from the media, I'm guessing since McCain won they'll claim a tie. Don't believe it. McCain won the night.

Obama's Answers: Debate Study Guide
For tonight's Presidential Debate, I've created a study guide to help you navigate the political waters. Think of it as a way to enhance your viewing experience.
1. Keep a running tab of how many times Barack Obama gives Government as the answer to a problem. Give yourself a pat on the back if you can remember what the question was after he gives the answer. Obama's never met a problem government can't solve. As for me, I've yet to see them ever solve anything.
2. Listen for Obama's keyword "Program" it's code for Higher Taxes. IE; I plan to develop educational programs to help inner city youth. Translation: I will raise taxes in the name of education then states and localities will eat up the extra revenue in administration costs.
3. A Couple things to remember when Obama brings up Universal Health Care, by calling it health care for all Americans, remember that means he actually wants the Government in charge of health care. They've done such a great job at the DMV! Walter Reed is a government operated hospital...Does anyone really want more hospitals like this? Second point, remember that 'health care for the poor or elderly' is also code for higher taxes. Obama loves Canadian health care, where taxes take over 60% of earnings.
4. Remember Obama catchphrases such as 'Fairness' or 'Being Neighborly' are both short for redistribution of wealth a basic principle of socialism. Taking from the Rich and giving to the Poor isn't just a bad idea, it really irritates the Rich. And by Rich I mean you, if you are paying taxes Obama thinks you are wealthy enough to pay more, he has promised to reverse the Bush Tax Cuts thus raising your taxes.
5. Listen carefully when Obama mentions the 95% of working Americans line, as that is misleading if not false. He plans to raise income taxes on 75% of small business, as well as all other businesses. Who do you think they'll pass those costs along to in the end?
6. Anytime Obama says the word "Revenue" he means taxes, which means your money. He often speaks of revenue like the government is a business. It's not. When you 'increase the revenue' of the federal government, you raise taxes. You don't sell more product.
7. Watch Obama eyes on matters of Foreign Policy and Character do not be alarmed if they jut down and to the left. Psychologists agree looking down left is a body language that indicates deception. Barack can't discuss either honestly or the American people would have him thrown off the ticket.
8. Donate a dollar to a worthy cause every time Obama blames John McCain for what he sees as 'failed Bush policies' , we will also accept "the failed policies of the last 8 years' or ' 8 years of failed Bush policies'. You could make it a 'drinking game' however I think I'll donate my dollars to an organization buying ads to support McCain/Palin.
9. Be the smartest person in the room when Obama brings up the Keating Five in a lame attempt to attack McCain. Say "After John McCain was exonerated by the senate investigators, didn't he testify against Charles Keating in the civil trial?" Everyone will be so impressed.
10. Watch Obama squirm around any reference by John McCain to the current ecomonomic meltdown. See if Obama can explain away his connections to Fannie, Freddie and of course ACORN. I'm wondering if he'll defend the democrats or just ignore the question. Bonus if he stutters, stammers and says "Now Look" at the same time.
And finally, Pay very close attention to the death of the American Dream, Obama often refers to America's Promise, which is much different. The American Dream is about working hard enough to provide a good life for you and your family. Obama's American Promise takes the personal responsibility out of the equation, in his mind America owes it to the 'poor' to take care of them. While it sounds good in a sound bite, it goes against everything on which our great nation was founded.

Convicts for Obama!
While the second debate isn't until tomorrow night, some of your fellow Americans have already cast their vote with many states offering early voting. So much for weighing the issues... The media wants you to believe this election is over, I have news for you this election is far from over, in fact I believe it's much closer than the media would like us to know. Obama's own campaign tactics point to a similar conclusion.
Take Ohio for example, where voting laws make less sense than Jimmy Carter in the afternoon. Today ended a one week free for all where someone can register and vote on the same day. Obama's people have jumped on this loop hole, but driving around and picking up homeless people, offering a ride anywhere they want to go then registering them to vote for Obama. It sounds like I'm using hyperbole, but it actually happened exactly that way. Then the Obama supporters were so proud of their efforts they gave video taped interviews discussing it. One of the homeless men got a ride to the Bus Station to go 'home' to another state, that's actually not even illegal in Upside down Ohio either because you can live out of state for four years and still vote there! Whatever the law, why would Obama's supporters feel like they needed to ransack homeless shelters for votes, unless he needs them. I doubt they care about his tax plan, as they don't pay taxes.
Here in Virginia, felons are being encouraged to vote. One of the local radio stations that is openly supporting Obama through programming, encouraged listeners to come out and bring felons from out of state because Virginia allows them to vote. The announcer also suggested if you knew someone in prison on a misdemeanor, you should swing by and drop them off a ballot. Ex-Convicts are now a sought after voting block for Obama? Or just does he need the votes? ACORN is trying to make sure he's got them.
The best explanation of the evils of ACORN is on LiveLeak.com, a short video called "The Lowdown on ACORN". It manages to lay out the story of ACORN's tangled web of voter fraud, the housing crisis, the current economic crisis and the democrats, including Sen. Obama in just a few minutes. ACORN has a history of suspect voter registration cards, the most infamous in Ohio where over 85% were invalid with voters named "Jive Turkey" it's hard to imagine why they didn't think anyone would notice. ACORN is working in all the Swing states. When you find out that one ACORN branch produced only 6 valid voters in 100,000 applications it starts to make you look at the announcement from ACORN that they have registered over 1 million new voters a little differently.
I got a phone call from a livid Independent this afternoon, she'd heard the radio announcement I referred to earlier. She assumed (rightfully so) that it was an overt attempt to stuff the ballot boxes for Obama. She then vented her frustrations about Obama seeking out the votes of felons and the homeless. As we talked it occurred to me; If he is their candidate, is he your candidate? She said in a word: No. I mean when was the last time Obama's supporters showed up at your house and offered you a ride anywhere you wanted to go? Did anyone fill out the forms for you? Or is it something you do because you want to exercise your right as an American? Voting is a verb, requiring action.
As Evidence mounts that Obama's campaign supported by ACORN and others are pulling votes literally off the streets, it got me thinking. If Obama's message is so powerful and moving why are these questionable activities necessary? I mean isn't he 'transcending' anymore? Why does the One need all this help? Isn't he the candidate that all of America loves? Hardly. Obama and his supporters aren't tied to silly things like ethical standards, in their minds I'm sure the end result of an Obama presidency justifies the unscrupulous means. Whatever their reasoning, make no mistake about it, the Obama campaign knows this race isn't over in fact, it's just getting good.
Editor's Note: All the links to other websites are live now. I've gotten a few complaints about 'dead' links, those have been fixed on all prior blogs as well as the reference blocks to the right.

Sarah Stands Up Starts The "Vetting" Process for Obama
With 30 days left until the election, the McCain campaign finally delivered some real 'Straight Talk' via Sarah Palin. Starting at the historic debate on Thursday night, Sarah Palin is going after Obama with honest attacks against his policies and his judgment! It's about time. I have been waiting for McCain to realize we can't play nice with these people. We're going to have to "Vet" Obama for the public, because the media's idea of vetting when it comes to Obama is "boxers or briefs"?
It seems like everyone is talking about the SNL skits with a mocking Tina Fey impersonation of Sarah Palin, even Geraldine Ferraro mentioned the night of the debate about "Will this be the Sarah Palin from Saturday Night Live...." Um, has anyone told Ms. Ferraro that isn't really Sarah?! Maybe it's time for Geraldine to up her medication. What I don't see is anything about Barrack Obama in the SNL skits, strange since it was the infamous SNL skit about the media coddling him during the primary debates offering him a pillow, while hammering Hillary Clinton on actual issues that got everyone watching again in the first place. If it was funny then, why isn't it funny now? I think it's funny, show that again.
For anyone who watched the debate there should be no confusion between Sarah and the caricature they created about her. Sarah took Joe Biden the Sage of the senate to the mat, and she won. One remaining question I have about Biden since the debate: Why is it if he's the expert on the ticket did he recite so many facts wrong? If he's the expert we're all in trouble. Just goes to show you even if you've been in the Senate for longer than than I've been alive, you still don't know squat.
During an interview with Fox News' Carl Cameron, Sarah apologized to the American people for being flippant about some of her answers with Katie Couric. She explained that even though she was annoyed with the tone of the interview, she owed it to the American people to speak through the interviewer directly to the people. I thought for a second she would actually call Couric out for being the "Useful Idiot" she is. Sarah then answered all those burning questions the liberals crucified her for like what newspaper do you read? Name your least favorite Supreme Court ruling? Why is the media the devil? Thank God. I thought a face book friend of mine was never going to sleep again worry about whether Sarah preferred the Times or the Post! Just for the record, Times in New York, Post in Washington, whew glad we got that one out.
Those who watched Sarah yesterday during a campaign speech know she's a New York Times reader now, since she brought up the front page headline about Barrack Obama and admitted terrorist Bill Ayers. I literally jumped up and down. We the Republicans rarely fight as hard as I'd like us too, to many times we try to appear "better than that" well a lot of good that will do us if we allow the communist party to put one of their own in the White House. Notice I've jumped from socialist to communist, that's because in doing some research on an upcoming piece on Obama I've found that Communism is closer to his heart. In his book "Dreams from my Father", Obama talk about his mentor, Frank. Sweet old Frank who is none other than Frank Marshall Davis, took Barry under his wing, also lost his position in the NAACP for his overt communist sympathy causing them to close his entire branch. Maybe the Media didn't feel like they had to "Vet" Obama on this connection since he wrote about it so openly in his book? I'm sure that's it.
Sarah delivered a right hook to those so called "feminists" that have been taking pot shots at her for the last four weeks. Quoting one of their heroes Madeline Albright, Sarah recited a quote that was on her Starbucks cup the previous morning, "There's a special place reserved in Hell for women who don't support other women". Adding...I'm not saying, I'm just saying...OK so I made that last part up, but it's what she was thinking!
The media will tell you that the McCain campaign is going negative, but is it really 'negative' if it's true? (when it's true it's called Information) Not to mention this is what the Media is supposed to do as part of they're beloved "Vetting" process. While the New York times has written one front page piece on the Ayers-Obama connection, the day after the Bristol Palin pregnancy announcement, three front page articles appeared. So apparently they needed to go into more detail about how a seventeen year old girl got knocked up than they did about a friendship spanning at least 16 years between a Presidential candidate and a known domestic terrorist. They all must have missed that health class.
So while some get turned off by Politics when they attack the opponent, if the Public needs to know more about Obama this is the best way to tell them. Anything that comes out of Sarah's mouth will get some attention, and right now that's exactly what we need to happen. We are lucky we've got such a strong candidate at Vice President, she's going to have to take on the Media and Obama all by herself. Judging by the way she's handling it so far....Saracuda is just the Woman for the Job.
Blogroll Me!

So apparently they needed to go into more detail about how a seventeen year old girl got knocked up than they did about a friendship spanning at least 16 years between a Presidential candidate and a known domestic terrorist. They all must have missed that health class.
So while some get turned off by Politics when they attack the opponent, if the Public needs to know more about Obama this is the best way to tell them. Anything that comes out of Sarah's mouth will get some attention, and right now that's exactly what we need to happen. We are lucky we've got such a strong candidate at Vice President, she's going to have to take on the Media and Obama all by herself. Judging by the way she's handling it so far....Saracuda is just the Woman for the Job.

Obama Loving Media Continues to Spin Post Debate Polls
It's been less than 48 hours since one of the most watched vice presidential debates in history. Over 70 million Americans tuned in, to watch Sarah Palin become a political superstar, while Joe Biden struggled to remain calm while lying through his teeth. So why does the media feel the need to tell us what we saw?
Minutes after the candidates gave their closing remarks, Americans still reeling from Sarah's 'shock and awe', CNN released a "flash poll" proclaiming Joe Biden the winner. Chris Matthews from MSNBC gleefully cited this poll to Roger Simon,a writer from Politico.com , who told Matthews in no uncertain terms that he didn't care what the poll said, he knew what he'd just witnessed. Simon wrote in his column yesterday, that instead of falling off the stage, Sarah dominated it.
Another poll that was quick to be referenced was the CBS 'flash poll' which also reported Biden as the winner. The talking heads kept pointing to the poll as proof that Palin didn't really just win the debate. What they don't tell you about these polls is that the demographic of the poll isn't measured. Meaning a poll of CBS or CNN viewers reflect a demographic that watching that station, we know that democrat viewers out number republican viewers about 3 to 1. So is it really shocking that democrats prefer democrats? The CNN poll had Biden winning 54% to 36%, we know that 75% of those being polled are liberal leaning so doesn't that mean that Sarah actually won some people over from the dark side? Other wise Sarah would be hovering around 19%, the percentage according to the Center for Media and Public Affairs, of conservative leaning viewers.
So using the same polls information imagine another headline: Sarah Palin's Performance change mind of 15% of Democratic Voters! I'm starting to like their poll numbers! See what a difference a little perspective can bring? That's what the numbers tell us, but it's not what the media is reporting. Is it an entirely accurate headline? Probably not, but it doesn't really matter. These days facts are optional in the headline business.
One of the other problems with these 'polls' is that rarely survey more than 500 people. In such a small sampling, political leanings can really affect the results. To get a really accurate study you need to apply weight based on the actual population, this calculation is never done for a 'flash poll' . So Why if the polls are so imperfect do the talking heads recite them much better than they could any bible verse? Because the funny thing about polls is that their results can sway public opinion, thus effecting later polls. Before the Presidential debate last week the commentators kept referring to the study that found the 'flash polls' after the 2004 debates favored John Kerry, then Kerry showed a bounce in the presidential polls in the following days. To a person they explained it was important to remain skeptical of flash polls this year, until immediately after the debate when they started dissecting the flash polls. They know that what they say and how they say it affects millions of viewers perceptions. They want to make sure you have the correct perception, Theirs.
I'm guessing that's why no other network talked about the Fox News Flash Poll giving Palin the win at 84%. Adjusting for political affiliation, she still won at about 70%. Unless you watch Fox News you never saw that. As I mentioned earlier a thorn in my side on these polls is the small sample numbers, well yesterday the Drudge Report asked readers to choose a winner in the VP Debate, when I last checked over 500,000 people had responded, with 70% of those giving the victory to Palin. Did you see even one story about the Drudge Report poll? Didn't think so.
Look the bottom line is polling data is not all it's cracked up to be. You know I believe Sarah Palin whipped up on Biden winning the debate handily. Mostly because I watched her do it with my very own eyes. I am so sick of the people on TV calling themselves journalist or reporters when in fact they are merely propaganda machines for their own agenda. It's not just the poll, it's how the poll is interpreted that makes the impact. They take this 'polling data' and use it as a tool with which to beat the McCain camp over the head.
Just this morning CBS News ran a segment on get the aforementioned CBS News poll. So yes for those of you keeping track, they are now officially creating the news, not just reporting it. What got me was the introduction to the polling data, referring to the 'aftermath of the debate'. Apparently they couldn't think of a word with more negative connotations than Aftermath. They might be right, they are the experts, remember 'aftermath of 9/11, aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, aftermath of California Wildfires', you get the gist. Even I didn't think Biden did that bad. The CBS poll numbers were similar to CNN's numbers and by similar I mean worthless. When reporting on their very own poll they couldn't help but to use a lead in that triggers thoughts of destruction.
Words are powerful things made more so if delivered by someone you trust. Leftist icons have written numerous books about controlling language and the power of words. Americans need to wake up and start using their critical thinking skills or we're going to end up in a real life Idiocracy. A ridiculous movie that should be required viewing for all Americans. I don't want to give too much away, but it shows a hilarious yet mildly frightening look at what can happen if individuals stop thinking for themselves becoming mindless consumers.
I heard a great line this week and I wish I could give credit to the author, but suffice it to say it's not my original thought. When talking about perception versus reality, it's important to keep in mind that at one time over 80% of Americans thought Betty Crocker was a real person, that did not change the fact that no such person existed. In other words, perception is just that perception, it doesn't change the reality.
So what does all this mean? It really boils down to one thing, What do YOU think? Whether it's about who won the debate or who will make a better president, you have to decide for yourself what you think. Don't rely on others to get you the information required to weigh out your options. Americans need to return to the spirit of Individual choice instead of 'group think'. The media is full of Obama supporters who can't wait to take credit for getting him elected. They play on our insecurities telling us that if we don't think like them, we're stupid toothless rednecks that couldn't possibly understand their sophisticated 'world view'. I've got news for them, I don't care if they like me or not. I'm not pretending to like socialism or Obama just to hang out with the self proclaimed cool kids.
Just remember...during the 2004 election cycle the all the polls showed John Kerry would be our next president. Thankfully that was not the case. It's time to put down the glass of Kool-Aid America, think for yourself. You may not agree with my opinions, but they are 100% mine. I haven't learned them from indoctrination of the left through the media, I've formed them as we all should through my own life experiences. So should you. So I don't need a poll to tell me Sarah Palin spent 90 minutes demonstrating to the world why she will be a fantastic Vice President, she's smart, articulate and most importantly, she is one of us. In the end the only poll that really matters the one on November 4th, and in that 'poll of polls' I'll be voting for John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Say It Ain't So Joe! Sarah Reduces Biden to Tears...
Sarah Rocks! Sarah Vs. Biden: My predictions this debate will allow the American People to see actual authenticity in Sarah and see Biden for the lifetime politician that he is. Best thing that can happen for the good guys is that Biden can't control himself on self propagation and Sarah shows the world, the mainstream media's outlandish bias. I am writing the first of it's kind a real time blog.
Sarah looks great. She's so tiny. Ha! Can i call you Joe? Perfect. And away we go!
9pm Ding Ding
Joe blah, blah failed policies last 8 years reason for problems now...
Sarah taps into America! Soccer games, college tuition, pushes McCain's reform record on Fannie and Freddie
Joe took on such controversial issues of domestic violence and funding the police. Who is for domestic violence? funding the police? Very controversial indeed.
Sarah: talks to American people directly. Never again will be taken advantage of..by our government or those on wall street. Great line.
Joe: lies about Barack Obama's record. He's getting heated. Cause he knows he's getting his ass handed to him; Disses McCain on insurance except his argument just makes me like McCain's idea more.
Sarah: Brings up Barack's horrendous tax increase voting record. Yeah!! I can't afford a tax increase.
Joe is lying. Joe is lying. He won't admit Obama wants to raise taxes in fact it's part of his slogan. remember "Tax the Rich!" That's their plan. Only what they don't tell you is you are the rich. Oh he's lying again. Obama promised to roll back the Bush Tax Cuts thus raising taxes for people who make about 42,000. Don't believe the $250,000 number, that's not real. However they also don't tell you that effects 75% of all small business!!
I love Sarah! She just brought up small businesses and patriotic taxes!! I Love her so.
She's speaking my language on the health care plan. After the insurance meeting I had today, I'd love some choice!
OMG! Sarah just told the American people what everyone knows in their heart. The Federal Government can not efficiently run anything. Do we want them in charge of something as important as our health care. The saying well you've got your health would go out of fashion quickly.
Joe Biden lies some more about how taxing small business won't hurt them or the overall economy. My friend who owns a small business just jumped off the couch. We had to pause the debates for a short rant on how badly it would destroy business. Warning: Don't pause debate while on Joe Biden's face. Not good. Not cute.
Fairness is code for Socialism.
Promises you can't keep; Good they may have to lessen the double foreign assistance plan? That was the plan double foreign assistance? I thought these guys were worried about us sending too much money to foreign countries, I guess that's just Iraq.
Sarah nails Obama on the tax breaks for Oil companies.
Joe is on the defensive now. Technical point to Palin for those keeping track. She's whooping him and he knows it. Is he about to become Good Ol' Joe? Lies about windfall taxes, Palin gave back to the people, Obama wants the government to keep it.
Sarah does a good job on reminding people John McCain warned about Fannie Mae with actual attempted legislation.
Joe says Obama passed a note to someone.
Sarah talks Energy.
Sarah takes on Climate Change. She doesn't want to argue about how we got here, she wants to solve the problem. Why don't the environmentalists love her?
She Loves America! I adore her.
Biden now says they support coal, that's not what you said a week ago, Joe. Joe mocks "Drill Baby Drill" but screws it up saying "Drill, Drill, Drill"
Sarah corrects him on the chant and the facts about Obama's record on drilling.
Joe is making up things about his record. Doesn't matter he is on the defensive again, another point to Palin.
Same sex benefits Obama Biden will support Same Sex Marriage. Did everyone catch that? I am so tired of this line of bull about gay people not knowing any lawyers. I mean everything they complain they can't have an all be taken care of with a quick trip to a lawyer. File paper work to make your partner next of kin, write a living will, make them executor of their estate.
Foreign Policy, here we go!
Palin pushes the Surge. Genius! Not unpredictable, but well delivered. Hangs Obama's vote against the troops around his neck. Compliments Joe for criticizing Obama's vote.
Why do Biden and Obama keep talking about their plan to turn Iraq over to the Iraqis. We are already doing that, because of the surge. They are talking about Iraq 11 months ago.
Sarah paints Obama as the defeatest he is.
This McCain voted against the troops thing is ridiculous. He voted against the time line because the commanders said no time line. Barack voted for timeline because he wanted to gain the approval of the anti war crowd.
Joe brings up the stump speech line about Iraq not being the central front on the war on terror, problem is he stole that from Bin-Laden, and the commanders have coined that phrase describing Iraq as the central war on terror.
Sarah informs him of his plagiarism.
Sarah lays out the case about why it is dangerous for Obama to suggest he would meet with Ahmadinejad without preconditions. Sarah drops Kissinger's' name like they've been friends for years. To Quote a talk show host, who shall remain nameless " You Go Girl!!"
Joe on the defense again: He lies about Obama saying he would sit down with the man who called Israel a stinking corpse. Obama said exactly that twice during the primary debates and has never fully explained his stance, but has come short of denying it like Biden just did. Point to Sarah.
Sarah shows the world who really supports Israel!!
Finally! Sarah explains that the Obama Biden ticket's foreign policy plan is too blame Bush, while the McCain Palin ticket is forward looking.
Sarah chats about Nuclear Weaponry and manages to work in Obama insulting the troops in Afghanistan. Nice work. She is a pro.
Joe is back peddling about the inconsistencies of his ticket on military operations.
Point to Palin.
Sarah explains the difference between similar plan and exact same plan....She's giving the most concise description of what needs to happen in Afghanistan that I've heard from anyone in seven years. She exudes confidence on matters of foreign policy. She's telling America, I can handle anything.
I think Biden believes her too.
Sarah is now raking Biden through the coals on his record vs Obama's record on Iraq. Stop the presses! I had no idea she had such a strong record on Darfur. She divested Alaska's savings from a company associated with Darfur. Why isn't that annoying celebrity group, One endorsing her?
Biden continues to dance around the conflicting voting records. Defensive yes? Point to Sarah!
Sarah goes after Biden one last time on his attacks on Obama during the primaries and his praise of McCain, because Biden voted more like McCain.
Biden doing his best used car salesman, trying to remember to hit all the talking points attempts to sell himself to the American people.
Sarah has convinced me we should flip the ticket. She says her administration will drill in Anwar in the untimely death of McCain. That's good enough for me.
Joe attempts to sound folksy mentioning some dinner in Scranton or something..
"Say it ain't so Joe!" Sarah delivers the headline quote of the night. America is falling in love. Reagan is smiling right now.
Biden is now pointing to a non-existent record. He really shouldn't encourage people to look at his record.
The authenticity is shining through in everything Sarah says. She's impressing Biden.
She's quoting Reagan. He just gave the ten cent interview line "I'm too passionate" also known as "my weakness is I work to hard/ care too much/ I'm a too much of a perfectionist" You've probably used this one yourself.
Biden's rattling off some bio stuff making an effort to sound human. Now he's talking about his past, what in the hell is talking about? He's been in the senate since 1972. He has no idea what life is like for the average American.
Oh dear he's crying now.
Sarah rescues the moment with a positive response about her record of reform returning decorum to room. Now she's talking about the diversity of the republican party. Giuliani, Lieberman and others all supporting McCain because he's the best man for the job.
Biden attacks McCain on being a maverick. If I'd done a shot for every time Biden says kitchen table I'd be wasted. Every time he says it I can't help but think, it just proves how "out of touch" he is. A more era appropriate saying would be "coffee table" or " car", doesn't he know no one sits at the kitchen table anymore?
Biden fought against Bork because he prefers liberal activist judges. Period.
Sarah shows she understands what the American people want from their government and she has done it in Alaska. Put the government to work for the people, not the other way around. From her shout out to an elementary school to her direct confrontation of the mainstream media, Sarah is the real deal.
Biden in closing talked about failed Bush Policies and the tax break for oil companies that Obama voted for too, because it was part of an energy plan. Nothing new or convincing.
In closing Sarah Palin looked a great deal like the man she was quoting, Ronald Reagan.
Just got a text from a serious Obama supporter. Palin-1 Biden-0
I think Sarah's been reading my blog. :)
Sarah looks great. She's so tiny. Ha! Can i call you Joe? Perfect. And away we go!
