    • zaibatsu, on 09/04/2008, -2/+1I agree! I'm keepin' it 'fair and balanced' on Digg
    • mathewsjwm, on 09/04/2008, -1/+2LIE, Wrong. Sarah Palin's teleprompter BROKE early in her speech, Palin ad libbed the rest. just awesome.
      • ryan83189, on 09/04/2008, -1/+1I noticed that she struggled for a few seconds, looked around and then picked back up. It looked like she made the rest up on the spot, any sources that confirm that it didn't come back on?
  • CaptainNoPants, on 09/04/2008, -4/+1Well, I would hope she'd be able to "wow" the people that she's representing.
    • mathewsjwm, on 09/04/2008, -2/+1with an over 80% approval rating it's apparent Sarah Palin's been "wow"ing Alaska.

      • CaptainNoPants, on 09/04/2008, -1/+180%? That's it? In a state with less than 750,000 people that's peanuts.

  • mathewsjwm, on 09/04/2008, -2/+1the liberal "politico" is ringing the bell and waving the red flag, RED ALERT, RED ALERT, RED ALERT, Sarah Palin's coming.

    LOL no wonder the Liberal Democrats are so frightened.
  • BennyGreenberg, on 09/04/2008, -2/+1She was good - I'll give her that. Let's see how the rest of this shapes up now...
  • sheasie, on 09/05/2008, -0/+4So, you want smaller government? Lower taxes? And fiscal responsibly? Me too!!!

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Words are cheap. The record is clear:

    *** SMALLER GOVERNMENT: ***

    http://perotcharts.com/images/challenges/challenge ...

    FACT: Government spending has increased under both Democrats AND Republicans since 1968. Both parties are to blame for the astronomical growth of the Federal Government. So what's the difference?

    MCCAIN: Preaches smaller Government, but McCain voted in favor of EVERY spending INCREASE proposed and executed by Bush Administration.

    OBAMA: Voted against several spending increases - a more modest approach.


    *** LOWER TAXES: ***

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story ...

    MCCAIN: Yes, McCain will lower your taxes!! If you earn $66,000 a year or less, McCain will lower your taxes by 0.7% !!! (About $462.00)

    OBAMA: Yes, Obama will lower your taxes, too!! If you earn $66,000 a year or less, McCain will lower your taxes by 2.4% !!! (About $1,584.00)


    *** FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY ***

    http://seekingalpha.com/article/92929-republicans- ...

    FACT: The national debt has INCREASED under EVERY Republican administration (without exception!) over the past 25 years.

    MCCAIN: Voted in favor of Bush's economic agenda 90% of the time. As a result, America's dollar is weak, and the economy is facing deeply concerning issues due to historic national debt.

    OBAMA: Plans to increase taxes ONLY on people earning MORE than $600,000 annually to help insure "fiscal responsibility" !!!


    *** CONCLUSION: ***

    Words are cheap. We need to "face facts". The record is clear: OBAMA/BIDEN '08

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    (This is an unusually critical election year. Act responsibly. Please Digg-up & forward.)
  • jamesalfaro, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1The speech was penned by Bush speechwriter Matthew Scully.
