Republican Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin introduced herself to America before a cheering crowd at the Republican National Convention on last night.
She described herself as a typical “hockey mom” who strove to make life better for her children first by signing up for the local PTA and later by running for political office. She introduced her family one by one to the crowd, including her husband, Todd. “We met in high school, and two decades and five children later he’s still my guy,” Ms. Palin said.
“Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown,” Ms. Palin told the roaring delegates in a speech filled with sacrcasm that cut down Mr. Obama. “And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”
Ms. Palin was referring to Mr. Obama’s experience as a community organizer in Chicago before he served in the Illinois legislature and was elected to the United States Senate in 2004.
With no mention of her stand on abortion and other policies, Palin tonight said she and McCain will focus on spurring the development of alternative energy sources, while building more nuclear plants and drilling for oil and gas in new areas. Palin also mocked Obama’s message of change.
“Here’s how I look at the choice Americans face in this election,” she said. “In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.”
Watching the RNC scared the crap out of me. Especially when they all started the “drill, drill” chant.
While I am happy to see a woman in a possible vice presidential position, the fact that she is a woman, does not mean we should vote for her. A self described “pitbull with lipstick,” I certainly do not agree with her policies although, we have not heard much about them from her…yet.
Her speech last night was rousing and a bit Reese Witherspoon in Election. She certainly stirred up the crowd and it made me nervous for Obama. She did make some good points.
As a Hillary fan, I too was concerned about Obama’s lack of experience. His speeches and gatherings were not enough. He’s certainly charismatic, intelligent and young. and we’re counting on you Obama! Get tough!
The fight is on!
