Palin's speech last night?

Question

Now, I may be prejudiced against her, but I happened to notice a few things that I thought were absolutely ridiculous.

1. The bridge to Nowhere, you gave the money back? Really, you are ok flat out lying to the American people?

2. Do you think Cindy McCain plans on raising Palins' children? I mean, she was an ok babysitter last night, but, a full time job? Cindy is no spring chicken.

(And those of you who accuse me of sexism, I'm sorry, but I'm a darn good mom, and my husband could never do what I do, nor would I ever trade anything for my time with my kids. I mean, it's not like her kids are all teenagers. Teenagers are pretty much done, especially once they are knocked up! But a 4 month old with special needs???)

3. Did anyone else notice the complete lack of footage of the pregnant teenage daughter? I mean I saw their son who they are so proud to say served his country about 100 times. I saw their 7 year old taking care of the 4 month old almost as much, but I never saw the pregnant one....

4. And about Obama's taxes? Seriously are their still people out there that are worried about the increase?

Provide generous tax cuts for low- and middle-income seniors, homeowners, the uninsured, and families sending a child to college or looking to save and accumulate wealth.

Middle class families will see their taxes cut – and no family making less than $250,000 will see their taxes increase. The typical middle class family will receive well over $1,000 in tax relief under the Obama plan, and will pay tax rates that are 20% lower than they faced under President Reagan. According to the Tax Policy Center, the Obama plan provides three times as much tax relief for middle class families as the McCain plan.

I mean, sure, throw mud, but at least be factual!

Answer 1

You are so right about this woman.  You may appreciate this website  that tells the truth about her from an Alaskan.  My personal favorite lie was the one about special needs children have a friend in the white house.  Palin cut special needs programs in Alaska by 62%.

Answer 2

Excuse you?  My dad was the stay-at-home parent when I was growing up, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that!

I saw the preggo daughter several times - open your eyes.

And since when does taking more money from the richest people in this country seem fair when they already pay the most in taxes?  The top 3% pay 50% of the taxes!  That is not fair!  And no, I am not in that bracket, but I have ambitions to reach it.  And it does not make sense to tax them the most - they're the ones writing the paychecks you get, and determining the prices they have to charge for the products and services their companies provide to the public.  If you raise their taxes, they will cut your pay, lay people off, and/or raise prices for their products and services.  In other words - you'll be paying those higher taxes!!!

Answer 3

Everything you said about her lies on the Bridge to Nowhere and Obama's taxes are true.  She was also lying about how she loves to take Washington's money and about Obama's legislative record.  Check the sources.

Answer 4

You are a bitter woman.

Answer 5

I've watched both conventions and perhaps it's my ideological affiliation, but I noticed many more factual erros and disengenuous lies from the republicans than the democrats.
