Hey everybody: Most of you that know me well know that I am neither a democrat nor a republican. I am an independent and vote my conscience in elections. Last night Sarah Palin absolutely blew my doors off...even more than her first t.v. appearance when we were introduced to her for the first time. In my opinion, she was spontaneous, gracious, and relaxed...in other words she was being herself. She is definitely a "what you see is what you get" candidate and a real person without pretense. When she said she was a Washington outsider and that she would be a refreshing change I had to plaudit her. One last thing. If you watched her closely, you may have noticed that when she answered a question or rebutted Joe Biden she talked and looked directly into the camera...at US! She also said that she was an average middle class American and that also related to most of us. Lastly, when she said that leaving Iraq now...would be "waving the white flag of surrender". We did that in Vietnam and within 2 months the Vietcong had overrun the entire peninsula and it was in their control and that is the case to this day. We left the south Vietnamese with our tails between our legs and I think doing that once in our history is enough!! I guess the democrats forgot about that. The eyes of the world are watching us intently now and if we abandon another war we will be perceived as weak and that is outrageously dangerous. Sarah and John McCain know this. Getting back to Sarah.....GREAT JOB last night. I hope I will get the opportunity to meet you one day.
