The debate and soooo much more...

Professor Lauro said.. I think she redeemed herself nicely. I do think Biden did a bit better, but only because he's had more practice. Still, she came across polished but not elitist, and knowlegable but willing to learn. What did you think?

Oh what do I think? "The future of America hangs in the balance like a loose tooth. Everything you and I have worked for is being wiped out before our eyes" Michael Savage.

I agree with you. She certainly stayed true to herself. Palin started the debate out great. But, I think she stumbled a little towards the end. I was quite disappointed with Biden's rebuttal in regards to same sex marriage. In my opinion he double-talked the issue. How can you give same sex couples the same benefits as married heterosexual couples and not consider it a marriage? I know that it is possible.. But, if you're going to do that then why not just say you support it? I thought Biden would have had a more solid statement in regards to that... And the health care plan Obama and Biden are proposing is absurd. It is pure socialistic ideology. However, I am not surprised considering Obama was huge supporter of ACORN which forced Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to write bad sub prime mortgages which trickled down to today and hence we have the crisis on our hands. Granted, republicans could have done more in their opposition to these exceedingly bad sub primes and other lenient mortgages. As Sarah Palin said during the debate: “Hockey Mom’s and Joe six-pack were exploited” by this easy money “and lets say no more to this...” This ideal of financial fairness stems from LBJ, Carter, and Clinton. Who all signed legislation forcing banks to write these bad mortgages in order to expand bank portfolios. Enabling people to live beyond their means. And it wasn’t only the low-income communities that took advantage and were exploited by this portfolio expansion. Middle class families that could only afford a 350,000 dollar home now could buy a 650,000 dollar home. Sarah Palin understands this. That is why her point in the debate that people in America have to live within their means was dead on. But, the democrats and Obama who ignored republican warnings of the problems that could stem from their strong support of fairness, disagree. It’s dangerous thinking, and if we continue supporting the “fairness” we will have another depression. And what prolonged the Great Depression? FDR’s tax increase. Obama-Biden hello? As McCain says, to raise taxes now will be detrimental to our economy. Let’s say Obama gets in. Let’s say he stays true to his plan and raises taxes ONLY on people making 200-250 thousand a year and up. It is the people with these incomes that are buying stocks, investing, own businesses and so on. Raise taxes, that all stops. Mark my words, if Obama gets in, he wont stop at 200,000+ incomes. If Sarah Palin was correct during the debate, He will hike taxes on people making as low as 40,000/ year. Not good! It sucks, because people like you and I who say want to invest in a real estate flip, can’t anymore. The sub primes are gone. No more loopholes for the middle class. Thank you liberals very much! Cant wait for your tax hikes YAY! Sike! This whole thing is complicated. I wish people paid more attention to history. But, this is just one reason why I am republican... Back to the debate aftermath, I agree, Palin did a good job for her experience level. I was very pleased with her performance. Actually, I was surprised. I knew she was a good debater but her interviews were sooo bad lol. I was really worried Biden would have crushed her. She held her own. I like when she referred to the terrorists as "dicks" lol. My boyfriend and I watched the debate at the Crabs Claw in Lavallette. The bartender turned it on for us. It was funny though. Here I am with a mouth full of food yelling at the TV. I felt so bad for my BF. Sorry if I just babbled a bit. I just get so worked up over the election and the economy.
