I can not stop yelling at the TV, and all it is is policy. Sure, the fact that I have been spreading a rumor that Sarah Palin eats babies is a little sexist, but when it comes to debates, it is policy.

Sarah has tried to seduce voters into her ticket by throwing her vernacular euphomisms ( "darn it!") annd hockey and soccer moms, but, from someone who has been there, I feel like I am being talked down to and I know that as an Ohio voter, I am not stupid. Ohio voters might do stupid things sometimes, like the past 2 elections, but we are not stupid. Stop feeding these populist lies Palin, it doesn't work.

You talk soccer moms and Main Street when you live on a mansion on a hill looking down on what was once a peasant community. You talk respect of women's right when you sold your ovaries to the state and to G-d with your victim-pays rape kits, your disrespect of the right to privacy and Roe v. Wade and I could go on.

Sure, you have been in VP for the past 5 weeks, but how can you say you believe in global warming when you said you didn't just the other day? How can you promise change when you are funded by the status quo. The McCain-Palin campaign management, at least financially is run by oil company lobbyists. You talk energy independence when you are funded by people who expect dependence for 100 more years. You dismiss a reasonable, pragmatic call to withdrawal our troops from Iraq and let Iraq become Iraq, because we can't surrender now. Wait until your son comes back in a body bag and if alive, wait until he develops PSTD. You talk working class when you only care about that 1% you belong to. You have scripted substance, but that's it. You still can't answer the questions.

We are not stupid. And there you go with your vernacular! G_D!

I too think that Palin was totally scripted by the RNC, and when the questions went off her script, she couldn't answer them. And she was very condescending, while pretending to be one of the people, what a total sham. Biden won this debate handily. I think if you consider someone watching who is just tuning into the election, they would come away from the debate knowing that the Dems have the better ideas. Palin kept referring back to Reagan--the ideas of 1980 and his voodoo economics are what have ultimately brought this country to bankruptcy. We'll see how she comes off to the pundits and the polls tonight and tomorrow. . .
