We ate in front of the television tonight so we wouldn't miss a single heartbeaat of the debate. The biggest thing that bothered me was the fact the Gov Palin avoided every question that she didn't like (about five) which burns my butt. She also reminded me of my oldest sister whose political views are whatever her church tells her, a true right winger, in this case what ever the McCain camp told her. I feel every true American has their own oppinion on everything in their lives.

Comparing apples Sen Biden's answers were direct to the questions he was asked and inline with most mainstream democrats, while Gov Palin's answers were not direct to what was asked and not inline with her party.

Personally I have my own ideas on major issues. Like gun control, I believe every household (without a convicted felon) should have a handgun for defense in a military caliber (.38 Special, 9mm or .45 ACP). People that hunt should have a rifle with a 5 shot magazine capacity and or a shotgun with a barrel length of 20 inches and a 3 shot magazine. Assault weapon ownership should be restricted to police, military and honorably discharged veterans.

As for abortion I beleive that is a woman's choice except that women should have a physiciatric screening before and after to insure she has no post abortion anxiety. What good is an abortion only to ruin your life anyway.

Stay focused, get out of Iraq, do not support the Wall Street bailout, fix the social security and our national education system.
