The Speech

Well if you missed Palin's speech last night and was wondering how she did, she was fantastic. Not only is she "clean" and "articulate" (traits Biden found attractive in Obamah) she owned the stage. She showed that the chosen one is not the only one that can deliver a speech. But there was more than rhetoric and empty feel good statements of "hope and change" in the talk. Finally we have a Republican that is talking about doing something about the problems we are facing instead of on collecting more money and power for Washington D.C. to dole out. In fact she did such a good job that this morning on CBS (yes, I'm not supposed to watch MSM) they felt it necessary to get a rebuttal from "Average" Joe Biden.

Even though it's long you should read the entire speech which can be found at the NPR website. Here are some excerpts that will make you want to read more;

“It’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform, not even in the state Senate”

“Since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves, I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”

“What exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make the government bigger and take more of your money.”

I'm Just Saying - this lady has them on the run!
