On the GOP and the RNC

[plumapen]

Last night was such a blast; who'll be watching McCain's speech tonight?

My thoughts on Palin's speech are as follows (in bullet points)

she has a smirk of her own!

too divisive

too many character attacks

too much hate mongering

no substance -- where do you stand on the *issues

I think we are moderates. It's just that the right is sooooooooooooo far right that we look far left.
I think Palin did address some issues. Her stance on the environment? Drill baby, drill. Her stance on abortion rights? Right to life. (The fetus's life- not the mother's if her life is in jeopardy -then not so much the right to life).
Earmark spending? Not good if the nation catches wind of it and says "Hell no!" Then she says 'Hell no", too.

I can't watch the speech today because I have a stupid meeting at stupid work. Enjoy the speech for me! Let me know if they forget to mention that McCain was a POW. I think he was...I'm not sure.

You probably won't miss much.

Here'll be the highlights:

1. Ain't Sarah a great gal?
2. I was a POW
3. 9/11
4. I was a POW
5. 9/11
6. Maverick
7. I was a POW
8. Experience
9. I was a POW
10. 9/11

That about covers it...

btw, I think that lapel pin *wasn't* a US flag. *shock!horror*

No? Was it a lipstick-wearing pitbull? Or a shell casing?

[plumapen]

Aha! Just found out it was a blue star service flag pin.

I will have to agree with you there, Molly. I think Palin is what they used to call a reactionary. Who says there are no facists in America?

You know, I think you're right.
