Smooth Landing
Sometimes in politics it isn't about how you get to the end but that the end result is that you get what needs gotten. This whole business with the Republican Party voting all but three martyrs against President Obama reminds me of the dangers of flying to close to the electric fence of politics.
I need a break, I'm thinking tropical and maybe a warm beach, a packed cooler with some drinks for the girls and maybe a few Mommy and Daddy drinks. Road trip! Packing the SPF 50 and I'm hitting the beach...
Even though Governor Sarah Palin probably gave one of her best speeches ever at the RNC as a politician, she forgot the basic rules of politics. Facts are golden, rhetoric is empty, and the last one, don’t get caught in a lie when bashing your opponent. I give Governor Palin credit for a speech that sold well on television. She was a great poster girl for the McCain campaign but looking and sounding good does nothing without policy and plans to fix America. Governor Palin offered not even one plan to change the status quo in Washington but she sure was good at telling you who to be afraid of.
One of the good things she managed to accomplish last night in her acceptance speech as McCain’s VP was infuriate the Obama political base. Some estimates are claiming to the tune of $8 to $10 Million since she bashed the hell out of Obama’s experience as a candidate for President. Over at Politico they have this to say on the subject…
Palin raises $8 million — for Obama Obama's coffers have been filling since Sarah Palin attacked him repeatedly in St. Paul last night.

You just don’t call a man like Barack Obama with a long standing political record of achievements someone that has never passed any legislation… Ever? Has the Governor from Alaska never heard of or even used FactCheck.org? Or is she too computer illiterate like her running mate?
John McCain has no plans to change our government other than more of the same for him and all the millionaires that can not find enough ways to get money to his campaign coffers. His idea of alternative energy sources is drilling the hell out of every acre of land in America, Palin’s plans are record and Alaska sells a huge percentage of its natural gas to Japan and the far east. Facts are funny things like that. You can lie all you want but the facts never change.
“The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable.” James A. Garfield
Words to live by and in this current political campaign, many people are living the miserable truth rather than the McCain and Palin lies. Keep on bashing Governor Palin, Barack Obama can use all the cash you raise for him!
