Setting a New Tone in Washington?

She’s just adorable!!

God help us, the bailout passed. Pleasse tell me they stripped out the carbon tax. PLEASE!

So tell me, what the hell do republicans think they are doing endorsing this woman? She is as ignorant as she is ridiculous. She winks for christ sake! this isn’t a goddamn beauty pageant! She COULD BE PRESIDENT. McCain is one year away from being the age median of death for American men. He pulled a publicity stunt picking her and that was an irresponsible conniving awful thing to do. and mark my words IT WILL NOT WORK.

Both debaters did a good job in setting the new tone. They spoke to each other emphatically, but without animosity. Biden in particular did well by beaming a warm smile/amusement whenever Sarah made a good attack. This had the effect of distracting from Palin’s point, which I think worked in Joe’s favor. Alternatively, when Biden spoke, Palin did a lot of looking up, then down, then smile, then down again, etc. it made her look less assured I thought.

The dynamic was so different when the Pres. candidates debated, it was clear they despised each other, also, McCain seemed to fidget allot and spoke looking at the moderator, not the camera, fortunately Palin spoke directly to the camera. If McCain could learn from this and adopt a more Reaganesqu sense of relaxed and smiling confidence when dealing with Obama he would do much better.

Overall, it was hard to say who “won,” Palin really won just by not bombing as the MSM had everyone anticipating. What I thought she did wrong was to not directly answer some of Biden’s most strident criticisms, she just let those pass, also, it often seemed after Biden made a good hit, the moderator would happily end the topic and move to the next, some definite bias there, but, Palin could have also spoken up and insisted on replying.

Overall, I like the change of tone and it is a credit to both candidates.

Sorry NJOY, the left has no room to talk of inexperience just as Fit has no room to talk of “Amercians have got to stop demonizing other Americans who happen to have a different view”. What Fit really means “conservatives need to shut up and do exactly what the leftists tell them to” and “any attack you make or complaint you level at a leftist will be called ‘racist’, ‘bigoted’ and leftists will call you a “NAZI”; and in the next sentence, the leftist will spout national socialist garbage and not even blink”.

However, when the leftist calls conservatives all sorts of crap, makes up lies, and recites leftist garbage shouting points verbatim, that is ok as the leftist is not being partisan (as only conservatives can be partisan according to the left), just demonstrating how “enlightened” and “intelligent” said leftist is….. Pardon me while I reject your double standards. If Obama is elected, I fully expect the left to tell everyone to “shut up or else” as they did in 92 and wanted to in 2000. In the 80s I saw a bumper sticker popular with leftists which stated “Question Authority”. Under Clinton, I learned there was a rider to that statement: “Unless a leftist is in power”. I believe the same holds for “Dissent is Patriotic” according to the power lusting left.

Palin is intelligent and FAR more experienced than Obama. She is also not an arrogant elitist. With Obama we get the big wigs of Fanny Mea/Freddy Mac (millions donated to Dems and they are on his campaign) in charge, Bill Ayers, Resco, Sorros, ACRON, the fake “anti-war” groups, the use of threats/intimidation and the FCC against media outlets daring to question Obama, violence and calls for disrupting the McCain/Palin campaign incited on Obama’s website (repeatedly), lies about US troops and our efforts (which I take personally), support from our enemies (even financially until non-MSM sources discovered it), attacks by “brownshirts” on conservatives (media calls the “anarchists”), and the list goes on and on to sickening lengths.

Then we get the “vast” experience of Biden and wanting to placate the Arabs after 9-11 by sending money to the Persians. We get gaff after gaff. Lie after lie. If Obama or Biden were republicans, they would never have advanced past the first vote in the primaries as the media would have skewered them on their pasts, present financial links, and actually force them to articulate what they intend to do to America.

But then I am still wondering what will be the emblem on the red armbands of Obama’s “Civilian National Security Force”. But don’t worry leftists, Congress and the President (sadly) just passed the “Let’s give the US Treasury to leftist funders” Bill. Citibank, Bank of America, Country Wide, Fanny/Freddy and other leftist funders should be squealing in joy…. The Stock market, however, is not.

I was just going to vote against Obama’s desire for totalitarian socialism and racial hatred as I do not like McCain much, but I find now that I have someone to vote FOR in Gov Palin.

@11B40:

Now we can picture little Piper giving Biden’s plugs a spit bath. Now that’s funny, thanks for the chuckle 11B40.

I’m sure it’s not what is meant, but I read the user name NJOY as NO JOY, which is exactly what we’ll all feel if Obama is elected, and what I pray is what NJOY will feel on Nov 5, along with all those adoring crowds in Europe. I forgot that Europeans got a vote on Nov 4, or is that where Obama’s 57 or 58 or just HOW many states there are came from. Sorry, NJOY, I think you’ll be remembering Casey at the Bat on the morning of Nov 5, after Mighty Obama bin Biden strikes out.

Every time you or, even more importantly, the in-the-bag media attack McCain, Palin or conservatives in general, you rack up more votes for McCain/Palin. Keep up the good work, NO JOY, you and your ilk are more effective than donating time and/or money to the McCain/Palin campaign, not that I’m stopping doing either, you understand .

Well…..

For me, I liked the cordiality of the debate, and the mingling of families afterward. It reflects my own personal relationship amongst most of my liberal friends. We can disagree, sometimes vehemently on issues, but I know they want what’s best for our country every bit as much as I do. They are the same families who trust me in teaching their children gymnastics; who might invite me over for a barbecue; who I can go to movies with; laugh and joke with….and still disagree about whether or not President Bush is a “miserable failure” and what direction this country should be steered in.

Last night, we should be proud of what we witnessed: the peaceful, political process of representative democracy at work. And Palin and Biden are proof that we don’t have to demonize the other side, to disagree passionately about politics.

That’s what these pictures represent for me. That’s what Senator Obama has failed to accomplish, despite all the rhetoric.
