Sometimes what is not said is more important than what is said. Yesterday’s speech at the Republican National Convention by Sarah Palin will be haled as a home-run. After all, in Washington what matters, now seemingly for the GOP too, is style over substance. What conservatives have railed about not being important, skin color and/or gender in this case, has been hoisted as a banner and used now that it benefits them. Meanwhile, eight, and again four years ago, conservatives were promised a good many things by the current sitting lame duck president who’s out in the barnyard attempting to scratch out a legacy for himself that does not have the word “treason” written all over it. They were promised many of the same things that Palin promised yesterday yet which were not delivered. In fact the opposite of things promised have been delivered and the freedoms of “The People” taken from them. I actually initially bought into the hype of what a great conservative politico Sarah Palin is, but simply cannot get away from the sting of the Bush administration and the snow job that he managed to pull over on the nation and conservatives in particular. So not having watched a minute of either convention coverage otherwise and with absolutely no plans for viewing tonight when McCain speaks, I watched Palin deliver her best while awaiting for some signs of real change, not merely rhetorical change, in Washington. So what conclusion was arrived at? Over the last eight years Americans have seen their politicians focus on everyone but American citizens. They have done so with transparent disdain for Americans as they continue to behave like celebrities as part of the politically elite as they see themselves as. They have bent over backwards to everyone and anyone with an indirect sob story as if Americans are issue free themselves and all have trees that grow money in their backyards. American corporate interests, global corporate interests, the economic welfare of other nations, the welfare of non-American citizens, the global economy, the agenda of the U.N. have all been given a greater priority by the politicians in Washington, including McCain, than have the American economy and the American people! Without getting into whether there is an agenda led by a secret cabal behind it or not, it has and continues to happen. Unfortunately for McCain/Palin, thus far absolutely nothing was uttered indicative that this will change nor will anything be. What was I waiting to hear? The following: I know that Washington has not looked out for the American people and has prioritized the interests of non-Americans and corporate entities first. We cannot survive as the nation that we were intended with borders that are simply as porous and uncontrolled as they are. We cannot justify money spent overseas supposedly in fighting terrorism when we do not guard our “back door!” We cannot continue to sit idly by and watch as enormous geographical areas of our nation are flooded with people having their hands out and that refuse to make a reasonable effort to learn the language of our nation and a common language that will bond us together, not tear us apart! We have made a big deal out of the 3,000 or so people killed on 9/11 but have treated as an insignificant afterthought the nearly same number of American citizens killed and murdered annually by illegal alien invaders that we as a government are responsible for allowing into our nation, as if the lives of those people lost are less relevant than those killed in a far more dramatic fashion en masse in the Twins on that ill-fated day! We as a government must step up and control the flow of non-Americans into and out of our nation immediately or as a nation we will be forever negatively and irreversibly transformed into something worse! [Applause that would have rocked Minnesota off the map!] That is what we did not hear last night. Why not? The reason is that Palin does not believe that and because McCain is a part of the problem that has caused it, not attempted to correct it. That’s why. The single biggest threat to this nation and political issue right along side the economy is illegal immigration and how it is transforming the landscape of our nation in just about every way, shape, and form to the extent that if we as a nation do not get our arms around this problem, and “yesterday,” then this nation cannot possibly continue to have hopes for greatness. Yet, we heard absolutely nothing about this last night directly. Implicitly we now know that Palin is nothing but a McCain and GOP ball washer on this issue. John McCain this, John McCain that was the message that I heard, how ‘bout you! And expectedly so, after all, as I’ve continued to say, she’s a vice-presidential candidate, not the primary player in this charade. And that is in fact the message for election ’08. McCain is the enemy of the people and has been an active, not passive, part of the problem in this way. We can talk all we want about the economy, the War in Iraq, etc., but if we don’t first speak to the welfare of American citizens and put them and their nation first in a direct about-face from business as usual in Washington, then everything else is entirely moot. Unfortunately what we heard was the opposite yesterday. A scrutinization of Palin’s beliefs indicate that she is much closer to McCain’s position on the illegal immigration issue than she is against it. That’s a problem for me as a conservative and the lack of coming out against McCain’s own beliefs in that way merely cemented my resolve to vote for a third party candidate in all likelihood setting the tone to never vote for a GOP candidate again given the sad overall and liberal direction that the GOP keeps sliding in. There was not mentioned one single time in her speech anything about borders or illegal immigration. On oil and energy she stated that “dangerous foreign powers that do not have our interests at heart.” Neither do people flooding into this nation with absolutely no real concept of what it has traditionally meant to be American! Yet that was not mentioned. Why not! Is it not on the radar sharing the stage with the economy and the War in Iraq for which neither McCain and now Palin see the end of, as the top priorities for this nation?! On energy she sounded more like a candidate interested in playing to the “new energies” crowd than to attempt to help the nation in the short and medium terms by drilling and extracting what we have in oil first before and while sinking us led by a political agenda and not a practical one. Nowhere did she suggest contrary to McCain’s immovable position, that she would seek to drill all the oil in Alaska, on our continent, or off-shore that we could. Only mention of new energy options. In fact, she sided with the drilling our own oil won’t solve our problems crowd. All we have heard about Palin is about how rugged she is and how she is not afraid to take on an establishment. Well she has now joined with one of the most problematic people on the GOP side of the Senate by allying herself with John McCain. That’s all fine and good, but something is tremendously amiss and irreconcilable between the way that she supposedly is and her cementing herself as McCain’s ball washer for the next four years yesterday without one single significant and real mention of the single biggest issues as Americans see it. Unfortunately I smell another rat regardless of how good a speechgiver she is.

I'm getting this crap in both of my business classes this semester: America HAS to go global because we can't survive without outsourcing everything that can be outsourced.
Exactly. McLame is a criminal and Sarah was likely chosen to help counteract the revulsion that the conservative base holds for McNuts. If I knew he would drop dead in the first 6 months I might consider it, but I will not gamble the country's future with a madman criminal at the helm for any length of time. Blood ties or not I will NOT vote for a McCain/Palin ticket. There are some things family ties cannot overrule.

Whatever qualities she had before that I admired were thrown out the window when she officially teamed up with the neocon CFRNC North American Union Traitor mcNutz.

At this point, I wouldn't even do it if she joked on stage about smothering Juan in his sleep on Inauguration night. He doesn't need 6 months to do the damage he's signed on for.

Haahaha. ::sigh::

I wonder how America survived--and not only survived but prospered and became the greatest nation in the history of the world--BEFORE we had all the one worlders selling us out and talking their globaloney foolishness?
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Blood ties or not I will NOT vote for a McCain/Palin ticket. There are some things family ties cannot overrule. I hear you. But even if McCain signed a blood oath that he would commit suicide after the first six months there are two things wrong with that scenario. (1) He can do a tremendous amount of damage in six months, including but certainly not limited to, getting us involved in WWIII; and, (2) he has been known to lie and he is a crook. Nah, I can't vote for McCain, doesn't matter how pretty his running mate is or how nice she MAY be. Nope, just can't do it, wouldn't be prudent.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. The world communist order plan was initiated DECADES and DECADES ago, infiltrating everything here and using the base decadence and personal irresponsibility against this great country. It's just now the frog is realizing how effed it is. IMO

You will get no argument from me on that. If she was "all that and a bag of chips" like her supporters say she is, she wouldn't have teamed up with McCain. She would have been going all over the country campaigning for Ron Paul. Her accepting McCain's offer tells me one of two things--either she hasn't been paying much attention for the last 30-some years OR her principles and beliefs really are pretty flexible. And neither of those things speak well of her. Either way, I can't see voting for McCain.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Yeah, but this ol' frog done jumped out of that water before it even got much warm, let alone boiling hot.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. OK you sanctimonius pablum pukers. That is quite enough Palin-bashing. Allow me to drag you into the light. Dare you impugn Palin's "principles and beliefs" because you insinuate (lemme hear it now brother AMEN!) she sold her soul to the republican party (she's flexible" after all?) ??!!!! Amen!!!! Give me a "Ron Paul would never do that Amen!!!" Did it ever dawn on your simple minds that this woman, like Paul, knows that the progressive can not get elected unless via the game's own machinery and rules?? Yet when Palin attempts this gambit (in a much smoother way than Paul), unlike Paul, she is drug out into the fields of gold, and summarily run over with the hay bailer of our own disingenuos moral relativism. We now reschedule regular 95 IQ programming. Obamaphiles and commies, you can all come back now. It is obvious the Palin-bashers come from the same disingenuous place the Paul-bashers were from: The pit of the democratic side. You just need a public excuse for your commie actions. "Mrs Palin/Dr Paul/et al are not TRUE to their progressive ideals, and, therefore, I can not support them." BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

What were some of the major links to this sarcastic remark? I'm open to your opinions.
Asking for a link to the existence of the Paul campaign is really exposing your ass to the wind my friend. Find a more pertinent argument than "it just ain't so!!!" Note I invited back 95 and up. It is not your time.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition "Corporation: An entity created for the legal protection of its human parasites, whose sole purpose is profit and self-perpetuation." © IndieTx I'm not being argumentative here. I'm wondering what led you to doubt. It's really a straightforward question.
First-world nations made it through the exploitation of the working class, we're better off now that China and India are becoming economic powerhouses. In addition, we'd better brush up on our spanglish if we want to participate in the global economy on an equal footing with the rising middle-classes of the rest of the planet. We're just a service-economy, we no longer manufacture anything of worth. America is diminishing, diminishing, gone......
American corporate interests, global corporate interests, the economic welfare of other nations, the welfare of non-American citizens, the global economy, the agenda of the U.N. have all been given a greater priority by the politicians in Washington, including McCain, than have the American economy and the American people!
