Bobby, I completely disagree with your assessment of Sara Palin. She's not getting my vote because of how she looks, how motherly comes off, or what her kids or family is doing. She's getting my vote because I agree with her direction, and she has the guts to make it happen. Period. Of course it doesn't hurt that she's smart, tough, and has a ton of charisma and style.

I also completely disagree the country is falling apart, you've been listening to the Dem talking points again. I get aggravated as heck hearing how bad things are in our country when they just flat out aren't. The economy is not in a recession as of yet, and it will improve as soon as we start drilling for our own oil and developing other energy sources.

The way to build a healthy economy has been clearly demonstrated by Ronald Reagan. Shrink the government and it's onerous taxation, and let American ingenuity and productivity take over. Simple solution really, and it absolutely works.

the surge BO opposed has worked, and the provinces in Iraq that held the strongest al queda positions are being handed over to Iraqi forces. There is an end to the war in sight that amounts to an American victory instead of slinking away with our tails between our legs.

BO and his team oppose drilling (at least he used to, not sure now) and he wants to increase the size of the government with a federal healthcare system. He also wants to tax the 'big' companies and 'big oil', both of which will pass those taxes directly and indirectly right on down to us. BO will not follow through in Iraq, and all the lives will have been wasted. Meanwhile he'll set up unconditional talks with that wacko in Iran.

Of course politics involves mud slinging and attacks, that's what's been proven to work since our country was founded. The conventions are carefully coreographed shows because that's what has been proven to work. If we aren't happy with how things are, we as American voters have nobody to blame but ourselves. The lion's share of voters don't take the time to learn the issues anyway.
