VP Debate

I have to say that I was really impressed by last night's debate. Three things in particular really impressed me. I was surprised to see Joe Biden not make a big gaffe, it really did seem as if he was told to just stick to backing Obama, and not to think for himself, but overall he did a decent job (Even though he lied about what he has said in the past and how he has changed his mind). Gwen Ifill was very impartial, but then again when you every word is about to be scrutinized, wouldn't you be? And Sarah Palin came out strong and as a non-politician.

I am proud to support Sarah Palin. One of the great things about this nation is that one does not have to be a politician to run this country. This country needs to have Elder Statesmen, but it does not need life long politicians, and there is a big difference between the two. Sarah Palin is an ordinary citizen, and it shows, I believe it is her unrefined and human characteristics that make her appealing. This country has long been run down by the typical politician, even if they try to run on a platform of change. Rush Limbaugh said it best "You can put a suit on a community organizer, but you can't make him Presidential," or human.

I loved Sarah Palin's closing arguments, she quoted Ronald Reagan, and I believe it was very powerful. "It was Ronald Reagan who said that freedom is always just one generation away from extinction. We don't pass it to our children in the bloodstream; we have to fight for it and protect it, and then hand it to them so that they shall do the same, or we're going to find ourselves spending our sunset years telling our children and our children's children about a time in America, back in the day, when men and women were free."

It is clear that the liberals will attack her from every direction and scrutinize her every move, but do not be alarmed for it is out of fear. Dorothy Thompson, the Conservative American Writer, once said "The most destructive element in the human mind is fear. Fear creates aggressiveness."
