Grand Slam!
I thought Giuliani would be a tough act to follow. Then Palin took the stage and took aim at the top of the Democratic ticket.
...there is much to like and admire about our opponent.
But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform - not even in the state senate.
This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word "victory" except when he's talking about his own campaign. But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed ... when the roar of the crowd fades away ... when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot - what exactly is our opponent's plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he's done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger ... take more of your money ... give you more orders from Washington ... and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world. America needs more energy ... our opponent is against producing it.
Victory in Iraq is finally in sight ... he wants to forfeit.
Wow! This is the campaign I've been waiting for... for five years.

I was also impressed with Gov. Palin's speech last night. She pulled no punches and said what a lot of us have been waiting some time to hear.

I approve of the Palin pick.
She gave an exellent speech.
It is a shame that she was introduced by neocon loud-mouthed twit Rudy Giuliani.
Equally absurd is giving AIPAC mouthpiece Lieberdolt the closing speech Tuesday rather than Fred Thompson.
Giuliani and McSham, who both pander to Lieberdolt, are major factors in the neocon takeover of the Republican party foreign policy apparatus, and thus two major reasons why the Republican Party is a mess. I guess that explains why they both got 10:00 speaking slots.
By all appearances, Governor Palin is a true conservative.
Which is why she was not McCain's first choice.
Or his second.
She was rightly critical of the invasion of Iraq.
And she has praised, on numberous occasions, a Republican who John McCain would not allow to speak -- Ron Paul.
This link sums up the problem with the current Republican ticket -- and the problem is not Palin.
