I've heard some good speeches. To me, this one is historic.
(Hint: Cheering occupies a good chunk of the beginning, so you may want to FF; or, revel in it.)

I hated it. Of course, I agree that Palin did a great job in introducing her five children, the fifth being a special needs child and her husband and parents and had her free shots at OB so okay, she'll get the attention of those Mom's out there who have special needs children and who are soccer moms but what about the presidential election? Is she going to continue with Bush's tax reform bill? If so, that sux, read it all the way thru and you'll see that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Sure, she's easy to look at but so was Monica Lewinski and the Country beat up Clinton for that. Which president remained faithful? Bush. Phuck the Republican thinking. They cover up their vile plan with a bunch of bullchit.
I dunno ... Republicans USED to be the party of lower taxes, but like you say, Bush has not walked the walk.
There is a shared feeling among people of both political persuasions that big tax breaks aren't working like they were "supposed" to do, that is, trickle down to the rest of the economy through more investment, jobs, etc. -- instead, corporate bigs are finding ways to stash the windfall in the Caymans. McCain/Palin may try to keep them in place, but I don't think Congress will play ball. And if McC/P are smart, they'll bow to the wishes of the majority. If not, they shoot their chances of re-election in the foot.
As for voting for Dr. Paul -- I know it's not productive ... but he truly represents pretty much everything I believe in, and lonely though it may be, my vote's the only way I have to participate in the process.
Here's something ironic, though -- Mickey Mouse always gets lots of votes every election -- he may get more than Dr. Paul this time around too *wry grin*

But yea, she looked good.

Are you serious? I never knew that, about Mickey Mouse. That's just wrong! But it's funny as chit, haha!!!!!!!!

MM usually gets over 100,000 votes in every election. What if some year he really won? ;)
