Oh! Peg!
Have the gods ever been fair and just?

Sarah was too good.

Joe was full of knowledge. Sarah was full of platitudes, winks, and gosh folks don’t we just all love America.

She is a tabula rasa and a Meryl Streep. To anyone with a brain or who reads papers, listens to different news sources, or attends plays, it was evident she was well scripted.

The format was un-challenging, so she could just ignore a question and go to her memorized talking points, which she delivered well.

It was not a debate.

The first thing I thought of was ‘The Stepford Wives’. Then I thought of an empty suit. Then I was waiting for her to say something from the Andy Griffith show, that may have been said by Aunt Bea.
Something like, I respect Senator Biden but all of us folks know, “First you eat the sandwich, then you eat the pie.”

Palin is not dumb, she just is dumb about the government, world affairs, the economy, energy, politics, economics, history, the constitution, and the office of Vice President and President.

Ambitious she is.

She gave a good performance of cliche’ and tug at your heart phrases to pluck your Frank Capra patriotic strings we all were touched by when we were twelve and did not know any better.

STOP!

Act One, scene two.

Let us take a moment from all this foolish talk about politics and remember the real reason all of this is happening. Yes, it is because of little Joey Grey, you may not remember Joey, but, he was the boy who once delivered your daily paper. This same little boy who gave his life on the battlefield for our country. And why we all, all of us who love mom and sis and, yes, even apple pie, know, little Joey not only brought us the black and the white but the Grey.

Don’t vote for me because of me. Vote for me because of Joey and all the little boys and little girls, of whatever race and creed, who want to bring victory home. Home where it belongs. Let me deliver, for them, and to you, the paper of Victory.

That glorious Victory paper little Joey Grey would deliver himself, had he not given his life on the field of battle. Elect me to deliver that paper in white and black and yes, read all over.

Back to reality.

So the debate was Biden giving facts, history, logic and how we can help change the future and Palin was a cheerleader for McCain with all the phrases we so love and hold dear.

You could argue with Joe on the issues and how to move the country forward.
You cannot argue with Sarah on her cheers.

America is the greatest country in the world. Is not an arguable political statement except to folks from other countries.

The vacuousness of her performance is enough to make ones head explode. But even more dumb is almost half of America is going to love her.

She is dangerous. Not because she is an evil person but because she knows nothing. Most importantly, you cannot have a democratic society without an educated electorate. So we get what the majority deserves.

Not always the majority but the electoral college.

Our politics are becoming like a contest between Sanjaya Malakar and William Hung versus Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra.
For a time we keep them around like a cat with a mouse. It is amusing.
But do you really want to listen to Sanjaya and William for the next four years!

I am hoping the majority of the population can see through this insult McCain has wrought upon us. I don’t want my next door neighbor being the Vice President. Nor do I want to play a joke on the country and vote for Sanjaya and William.

If that is all it takes, you should run for president in four years. Heck! I should run for president, I at least know Gen. McClellan was a Civil War General. The U.S. commander in Afghanistan is General David McKiernan.

Sarah Palin did not know this. She does not know. She does not know so much.
Biden has forgotten more then Sarah ever knew and still he knows more.
I know more.

A common mistake calling the person you are quoting by the wrong name. Unless of course you quote him twice. If the point you so fervently believe in is true how in gods name could you forget who you are quoting?

McKiernan-McClellan, McCain-McSame, Palin-Failin.

People who talk from empty suits, people reciting from prepared scripts, always make these kinds of mistakes.

Sarah would be great in a soap opera on television. The script could be based on her own life.

But as Joe Biden said during the debate. He learned early on not to question the motives of people in public office. You can question their premise to a problem, you can question their solution to a problem. You can question if the problem is a problem or if there is a solution but you cannot question their motive.

You can question, if you or anyone has the opportunity, the lies, mis-statements, lack of knowledge both McCain and Palin have on the economy and foreign policy.

Sarah and John and George have no premise, no solution, no questions to any problem, no problem, no thoughts, other than we are a great country, with great people, with hard working people, working people who sit around the kitchen table to discuss their problems, with young people willing to sacrifice their lives, for a great country, with great people, with hard working people, working people who sit around the kitchen table to discuss their problems, with young people willing to sacrifice their lives.

Hockey Moms, Caravan Moms, Soccor Moms, Joe six pack, good old Joe, workadaddy dads, pay check to pay check families, hard hat work a daddy dads, retired folks, folks who worked their whole lives and. fill in whatever cliche you like…………………………………………..

If the last eight years have been good for you and your family, vote for John and George and Sarah and more of the same.

Otherwise, vote for change.
Maverick?

I don’t think so.
