Palin second guessed

First I would like to say that I was interested to see what Governor Palin had to say. I was surprised at most of her speech, so here are my thoughts.

1. Republicans want their cake and to eat it to

Governor Palin wants to attack Senator Obama on his experience, where hers is very questionable. She was a Governor of a town half the size of the state Senate district that Senator Obama represented. A town she left with an enormous debt. She was Governor of a state 1/3 the size of Chicago. I don't understand how she can attack Senator Obama's experience. Also she is trying to call herself a Washington outsider while attacking his experience. How does that work?

2. New canidates same old retouric

Sarah Palin is very concerned about her family that are opening a new buisness and auto workers in Michigan's taxes being raised by Senator Obama. I would like to put her mind at ease. Unless that auto worker is working 90 hours a week making over $250,000 his taxes won't be raised. Unless her family members pull a personal income (not buisness profit) of over $250,000 they will also not have their taxes raised. Republicans have gone to the old jump up and down scream their going to raise taxes as their strategy. Look if you make that much money I think you can afford a little more.

3. I think the fact that Governor Palin's daughter being pregnant or Troopergate shouldn't matter. I do think the fact that she is planning to still accept the money from "the bridge to nowhere" and use it for other state money. There are several cases of her misappropriating federal funds. However the McCain had to know that these issues would hurt his campagin. Why did he do it? The bottom line is he didn't research his pick. Neither he nor anyone from his campaign talked to anyone from the Alaskian legislature. The didn't talk to any state officials. He only met with her once. They didn't do their homework. Remember the last time the Republicans didn't do their homework? How's that Iraq thing going anyway? Her personal issues don't call her judgment into question. They do draw Senator McCains make a shooting from the hip decision making.

Also throughout the course of the night she and other Republicans made assertions that simply were not true. Here's a Associated Press article that points some of them out. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080904/ap_on_el_pr/cvn_fact_check
