Sarah: "Say It Ain't So Joe!"



I am so proud of Sarah. She was herself and she shined! She beat Biden hands down in both substance and personna. Don't let the drive by's tell you any different. Below I have a link to the transcript. You can read it for yourself.

This was one of her best lines: "Say it ain't so, Joe, there you go again pointing backwards again. You preferenced your whole comment with the Bush administration. Now doggone it, let's look ahead and tell Americans what we have to plan to do for them in the future."

Sarah was able to drive home the point that she is the most experienced if she were a heartbeat away from the presidency. If you look at the transcript it is easy to see that she has more experience than Biden and Obama put together:

PALIN: My experience as an executive will be put to good use as a mayor and business owner and oil and gas regulator and then as governor of a huge state, a huge energy producing state that is accounting for much progress towards getting our nation energy independence and that's extremely important.

Biden: You're very kind suggesting my only Achilles Heel is my lack of discipline.
Others talk about my excessive passion. I'm not going to change. I have 35 years in public office. People can judge who I am. I haven't changed in that time.
And, by the way, a record of change -- I will place my record and Barack's record against John McCain's or anyone else in terms of fundamental accomplishments. Wrote the crime bill, put 100,000 cops on the street, wrote the Violence Against Women Act, which John McCain voted against both of them, was the catalyst to change the circumstance in Bosnia, led by President Clinton, obviously.


Where is the experience Biden? I don't get it. 35 years on the Senate gives one experience but not 'executive' experience. When has Biden run a business or a State or anything for that matter. Worse yet, what has the guy who wants to be the most powerful man in the world done? Oh yeah, Obama was a community organizer and spent a few years in the Senate voting on bills.

Palin also successfully pounded home the point that she is an outsider and definitely not a Washington insider like Obama and Biden who will keep doing the same old- same old. The stuff we the people are sick of: Politics as usual and people at the helm who are not serving our best interests who allow corruption to continue to infect Washington:

PALIN: Oh, yeah, it's so obvious I'm a Washington outsider. And someone just not used to the way you guys operate. Because here you voted for the war and now you oppose the war. You're one who says, as so many politicians do, I was for it before I was against it or vice- versa. Americans are craving that straight talk and just want to know, hey, if you voted for it, tell us why you voted for it and it was a war resolution.

From what I understand Biden out right lied about 10 times! It is easy to look like you have substance when you lie to cover up a gotcha moment. It is easy to look like you have substance when you don't mean anything you say and are just saying what you have been taught the people 'want to hear'.

Think about it, all the things Biden says he and Obama will do to 'help people' have been said over and over, election year after election year by the Democrats and nothing has been done.

I don't have time this morning to give an analogy of the debate, but here is the transcript. Read it if you haven't seen the debate because the drive by's are going to say Biden won and they are going to drill Palin into the dirt. Count on it.

Gwen Ifill did a pretty good job overall. She only had a few obvious questions where it was evident she was biased, but I have to say she didn't steal the show and Palin handled all the questions just fine!

I think the drive by's and the liberal journalists on t.v. are going to lose their lunch come election day. I think most Amercians totally love Palin and know the media is going to smear her and do everything they can to prevent her from being the next V.P., but we won't buy it.
