Lots A Folks Watched Moose-Girl On Teh TeeVee
Sarah Palin’s speech generated 37.2 million viewers, just a 1.1 million viewers short of Barack Obama’s record-breaking speech on Day 4 of the Democratic Convention. More impressive was that Palin’s speech was carried on only six networks while the Obama speech was carried on ten (including BET, TV One, Univision and Telemundo).
America got a good look at the purty ladee the GOP put on display, and can judge for themselves the stark differences in vision and approach between Barack and SaraCudda.
Those who care and those who were just curious about all the hub-bub saw for themselves the contrasting tone, the degrees of respect, gravitas and realistic proposals each of these competing self-described reformers bring to the table they say they know how to reach across.
I know what I thought, which should be no surprise to anyone. I know you can’t get anything done, reach consensus or move an agenda by spitting in the eye of the people you must work with. If by some strange alignment in the heavens (or Diebold algorithms) McCain and Palin reach the White House only to face a Democratic controlled Congress, there’ll be a whole lot a pissed off legislators who really won’t wanna hear those quaint platitudes, insults and smug attitude when discussing how to fix an economy that lost another 33,000 jobs in August — something addressed in detail by the Democrats and completely absent in three days of GOP fanfare.
Oh, BTW. Cindy McCain’s dress Tuesday cost as much as the average unwed working mom without a high school diploma can earn in a decade — unless she lives in the Governor’s mansion. Out. Of. Touch. Much?

The truest indication of economic health is the unemployment rate, which certainly reflects poorly on the Republican party, doesn’t it?. Perhaps this is why their only means of attack thus far has been denigrating Obama and the Democrats.

Clinton, Obama agree on roll call vote, but tensions remain…

Ah, you underestimate, mes amis. A man with 3 years of college and 30 years of work experience might require 12 years to make that much, depending on the area they live in. With or without wedding. With children costing as much.

From your title of this article, you only prove a point that teachers unions have strangled our educational system. Yeah… lets vote in MORE big government and tax the hell out of all of us. Taxation is a very blunt instrument. No one escapes the wrath - oh wait.. THAT’s why most corporations go overseas to house thier head quarters. And lets just solve the unemployment rate by creating more goverment jobs? What a Marxist dream!
And do you remember Harry Truman? Yes? Yes, he was in his day a “Sarah-cudda”. He kicked ass and took names and did some good. We need that now, to throw out the Republican greedy, but specifically the Democrat liberal greedy (for other people’s money) and drain the swamp. I’m all for it. If Joe Biden wants a criminal investigation into lawbreakers in Congress if he gets into office, why should we foot the bill? Elect McCain and Palan and just get rid of them - no need to waste another dime on the blood suckers.
Its pretty sad that Congress has a lower approval rating (and its Demon-cratically controlled) than President Bush. HA!

You mean the guy who raised the marginal tax rate on the top bracket to 90%? Why yes, yes I do remember that guy, who also put war profiteers in jail instead of hiring them to run his campaign.

Please –you whiney, bitch liberals are so full of shit. The staggering economy is due to greedy, self-involved bullshiters who borrowed more than they could afford on shitty terms. When the chicken came home to roost, they lost their ass. And we’re supposed to lay that at the foot of the Bush Administration? Grab a clue. This kind of thinking is precisely why McCain wins in November.

I have no cable or satellite, but get Baltimore, DC, & Pennsylvania stations over the air. They all carried the Palin phillippic. But Obama’s speech, well one Baltimore station–WBFF, a Fox affiliate, did not. The DC & Pennsylvania Fox affiliates did, which led me to remember…this station is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, the fartsniffers that ordered their stations in 2004 to broadcast the smear against John Kerry.
