Sarah Palin-Speech Sounds like Bush-Except for the One Liners
Maverick, Cocky, Reform---Haven't We Heard This Before? like 8 Years Ago!
Ok, so she is tough. So am I, however that won't get the job done. Our friend and current failure in the White House, George W. Bush stood on the stage 8 years ago and basically told us the same things. He was called a maverick, a tough reformer, a success in Texas as Governor. Now, we are facing challenges in this country that are the direct result of that attitude. Being tough is definitely a job requirement for this particular job. Being a maverick is not necessarily what we need.
George Bush fought the standing government. He stood in their face and told them the things he would do. He vetoed anything he didn't like. Where are we today with that mentality? Are we better off because George stood his ground and got what he wanted? LOL!
Sarah Palin is a beautiful woman. She is strong and talks well. She may be the best Governor in the world! My question is what has that to do with running this country? Yes, a President has to stand up. But if that standing up creates another George Bush era, what was the point?
I am truly tired of government that is so engrossed with winning, they totally forget about us. That is my concern with the John McCain/Sarah Palin ticket. We don't need a bulldozer in Washington. We need REAL CHANGE! Not change in the form of bullying. Change in the form of how Washington takes care of our business. Are we going to continue to be the bullies of the World? Or are we going to rebuild and repair our country?
Are we trying to show the World that we can still be the Billy Bad Asses or are we trying to ensure we have a future?
I am not impressed with Sarah Palin's Butch attitude. I want answers, solutions and rebuilding of our once GREAT COUNTRY! Not more Big Shot Crap!
We saw on that stage last night what we can expect in Washington. More of the last eight years of politicians doing what they want. Sarah Palin stood on that stage again last night and told America a lie. She stood there and said SHE was the one that pull the plug on the Bridge to Nowhere project. Senator Lindsey Graham sat on the news a few nights ago and declared to America that the Bill she is talking about was killed in Washington long before she decided it wasn't a good idea. Duh! Is anybody out there listening?
John McCain and Sarah Palin are determined to do whatever it takes to win. Again they lied and said Obama will raise taxes on everyone. I heard at least 3 total provable lies last night. Remind you of anyone? George Bush is famous for looking us in the eye and lying like a rug. With that cocky, maverick attitude. We are pushed into believing him because he is so confident and cocky. He stood up there and told us there were weapons of mass destruction and he knew the entire time it was a lie.
Be afraid, be very afraid. This is a test. The big question is Are you gullible enough to vote the same people in for another 4 years? I don't want another floor show in Washington with cockiness and big attitudes. I want to know that the people in Washington are concerned about what you and I are doing. I don't want a handout from Washington.
Mike Huckabee tried to say last night that the Democrats were trying to give everybody something they didn't earn. Obama's main topic has always been working hard and earning your way. The old mentality of Democrats trying to be the social service kings is going away. America can't afford that anymore and they know that.
However, the Republicans, and I have been one my whole life, feel like they are above the lowly people of America. The people who are truly struggling and the people who have lost it all because of the Republicans. If you watched both conventions, you had to see the difference in the way the candidates treated the audiences. The Democrats respectfully stood and listened to the cheers and waited for the people to settle down from the excitement. The Republicans, Laura Bush, Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin all were in such a rush to get the speech done, they were openly irritated and impatient with the audience.
Tell you anything? Reminds me of Bush again. Washington better get on the stick and get busy with our country's business before they blow this last chance to get it right! America better get on the stick and wake the heck up! Don't be fooled by the cockiness of the Republicans! Don't be fooled by anybody!
They have used Sarah Palin to gain the women's vote. They are comparing her to Hillary Clinton.
In case you haven't been listening, Sarah Palin is not even in the same ballpark with Hillary. I disagreed with Hillary on some issues, but she is a leader. She has the potential to direct this country. Sarah Palin can't even get started walking in Hillary's path. Being a woman doesn't automatically qualify you.
If you are just listening and going along to get along, you need to take hold of your guts and make a decision that is based on your family and their needs. Sarah Palin ain't coming off the hill to help you take care of your family. Her nor John(senile)McCain ain't going to be there when your job goes away or your mortgage ain't paid.
We need balls in Washington, but more than that, we need COMMON SENSE and TRUE CONCERN for OUR COUNTRY! We need REAL Solutions, not gunboat diplomacy. Not Mavericks and Bullies! Problems don't get solved by mavericks, they get solved by Good Leaders.
You make the decision for yourself, whatever that is! Then whatever the outcome, you know that your choice helped to achieve that, good or bad!

Post a CommentNone of the candidates has said squat about what needs to be done. There will be NO changes in this country until someone who is not one of the Demolicans (Democrats and Rebublicans: they're both the same, so I categorize them as one group under that name) gets elected. I am the only candidate whose website not only states what has to be done, but also how it will be financed. Now, THAT'S a plan for real change. Rich career politicians have no idea how to put themselves in the shoes of the common citizen as we do.
Very good review.
Neither Palin nor McCain discussed issues. Palin paraded the same tired right-wing attacks on reason and intelligence while McCain sang the Republican theme of war. When voters really have a chance to see and hear them in debate, Palin and McCain will be toast.
Samantha Bee on The Colbert Report (on Comedy Central) commented that Sarah P. would garner a certain "vagina vote" comprised of women who were hopeful of and supportive to Hillary Clinton for whom gender is more important than policy or ability. My goodness.... I sure hope she was wrong!
She's a tough fighter. In my opinion, she's just fighting for the wrong team. I agree with you, I don't see how either she or McCain promise anything that differs from the Bush years.
It will be interesting to see how Sarah Palin stands up in the VP debates with Joe Biden. Everybody is so excited about her based on a speech she gave last night in front of an adoring audience. A week ago nobody knew who the hell she is. Based on what I've read about her position on the various issues, she is just another right wing nutcase.
Sarah Palin doesn't scar Obama and Biden. She is a woman trying to seem strong by applying male attributes to herself. Being a tough "pitbull" is not the secret of feminine strength to me. She had better have some solutions for us instead. As far as being " a pitbull," we already are the "number one 'pitbull of the world,"' Sarah. McCain is a bully with no solutions and that is why I'm voting for Obama. I'm a registered republican and voted for him in the primary, but he has turned me off by his "pitbull behavior. We don't need a "pitbull" for our president nor vice president, we need diplomats who can be bipartisan and pull us together as a nation. McCain and Palin don't seem to want to be our leaders, they are too facist for us. We need protectors that love us and not "pitbulls" that known for even turning on their masters. No thanks.
I listned very closely to her speech last night and the minute she made sweeping, false statements like that Barack Obama is more concerned with making sure terrorists civil rights are protected than in catching them, I just gave up on her. It was the same, tired right wing rhetoric of us versus them and 'they' are hateful people who are a threat to our way of life. There was no message of hope - no vision for the future (well, more nukes and 'clean coal' to appeal to swing states). Too bad, because I love Fred Thompson and even enjoyed his McCain bio - but some folks aren't really interested in bringing the country together - just in winning, as you say.
Interesting review. Thank You fer sharin' an Honest Opinion. Mizpah. ;-}}>
