GOP convention Day 3

Really it was Day 2, but you know…

I am about to go to bed, so I am not going to talk long. I just want to say that Governor Palin knocked one out of the park tonight. She did an excellent job on her speech and even better job of winning over the convention.

One quick note: Tomorrow and these next few days you will hear a few criticisms from the other side which have zero credibility.

1. You will hear that “Wasn’t she too hard on Obama? She went a bit too far.” Well people, this is just an example of ‘a taste of your own medicine’ being thrown down. To say that there weren’t any attacks from them at their convention on McCain, would be a huge understatement. Plus, the first remarks of the Obama campaign, although retracted, were about Palin’s lack of experience. Yes, these comments were retracted, but Obama is still responsible for them being let out and he is just getting punished for those remarks. Let’s note that we never brought up lack of experience until they did, and since they did; well, let’s take advantage of that because they are wayyyyyyyyyy off. The left has been so critical of her; not to mention, attacking her family as well. This was her way of saying we are not going to take it.

2. The media will criticize her for just reading a speech. Ladies and Gentlemen: ALL CANDIDATES DO THAT! It’s not really a secret, and it shouldn’t be newsworthy, but I promise you will hear/see that somewhere.

3. “Her soon to be son-in-law was there and on stage, and was just parading it.” As she so well put, her family is like any other family… they have their ups and downs and share in each other’s triumphs and battles. She is proud of her family and has no reason to be ashamed of her family or family to be, despite the circumstances that led him there.

Alright, while I can keep going on and on… I am tired. More later…

One more thing, Romney, Huckabee, and Guiliani were all terrific speeches.

-Goodnight,

Colt (Sorry about my poor grammar and run-on sentences. I am tired!)

UPDATE!!!!!!

Obama camp released a statement that said, “the speech was written by Bush’s speech writers.” HAHA I CALLED IT! Obama’s speech writer came from NBC’s The West Wing. Oh yeah, all Hollywood. No wonder he wins votes through his speeches alone.

My Review of Governor Palin vs. Barack Obama

Posted in Uncategorized tagged , , , , , , , , , , , at 9:06 pm by thecoltblog

As most of you know by now, Senator McCain has chosen Governor Palin from Alaska as his Vice Presidential candidate. There is much speculation about why did he make this pick, how quickly did he make it, and how qualified is she.

First, let’s address why did he make this pick and how quickly did he make it. The answer is: It doesn’t matter!! All that we should be concerned with is how good will she be for America. Is she a good pick?

Immediately after she was chosen, the Obama camp released this statement:

“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency,”

How is this relevant? McCain camp could put a similar ad stating this:

“Senator Barack Obama, former community organizer with zero foreign policy experience, not to mention zero executive experience is running to be President of the United States”

She may be governor of a state that only occupies less than 700,000 people, but her approval is over 80%. 700,000 can be a sample size for the whole U.S. She has such a high approval rating because she is truly a good American that has fought corruption on both sides of the aisle and we should all be excited to have her in such an office. Whether McCain made this decision because of Hilary Clinton not being nominated for Vice President, doesn’t really matter. The point is, she is a great pick and now that I have had time to review her accomplishments in such a short time, I would take her as a Vice President over any of the other candidates. We need more people like Governor Palin in Washington!

Just a couple of thoughts…
