The last 8 years

I think it's funny how many people are so hostile towards Sarah Palin and how sexist the liberals really are. Granted, Palin's performance in the interviews has left something to be desired, but the truth of the matter is that Palin has more experience than Barack Obama. The media, SNL, and others are trying to show Palin to be just some dumb woman, and I don't really see how that's not offensive. Yet Goldenboy, is commended on his sexiness on shows like the View rather than asked about any tough issues.

I would really like to see a tough interview of Obama, I'd like to see him asked about Wright, Ayers, Rezko. I'd like him asked about the 57 states in the Union, his Muslim faith (his words not mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIXRt57tM3Q) and being endorsed by Hamas. I would like him to name a single legislative accomplishment that he has achieved over the last 4 years, two of which were spent campaigning. I would like him to describe a single one of his programs in any detail, and I would like to know where he will find the money to fund it after the behemoth bailout that he has endorsed.

I'm tired that eloquence or rather ability to read off the teleprompter is somehow seen as a great qualification for our president. Of course, President Bush has done little to quench the thirst for fine oratory or wit, but ask yourself is your life really that much worse now than 8 years ago? Don't listen to the news, don't read any commentary, just think of your personal life, is your family better or worse than it was 8 years ago?

I remember when Bush was first elected, apocalypse was being predicted by the Democratic party. Celebrities threatened to move to Canada, and abortion right activists claimed the era of Roe vs. Wade was over. Yet nothing really changed. My family, and I would imagine most peoples' families are as prosperous as ever. Yes we are in Iraq, but really what percent of the population is actually effected by this? I would venture to say that out of families with active duty soldiers, most lean Republican anyway. Yes the economy is supposedly in bad shape, but how many people have felt the effects of it so far, I'm not seeing troves of newly homeless warming up by the fire in downtown Chicago, but maybe the four horseman of the apocalypse have been rendered invisible by the global warming related smog.

I'm not a fan of Bush, and I don't agree with everything on the Republican agenda, and I'm not a Republican.

I am for a strong America, I am for more individual freedom, and I am for reaping rewards for responsible behavior and suffering consequences for the lack thereof.
