Hi everyone --


We wanted to get your reaction to the Vice Presidential debate between Senator Joe Biden and Governor Sarah Palin. Did you watch? What did you think -- and who do you consider the winner? Were there any surprises? Tell us what you considered to be the highlights, the low points and everything in between.

She thought she was going to pull one over on Biden with her "I'm a single mom, a soccer mom, and oh how hard it was" mantra. I loved how Biden put her in her sexist place to imply only women can oh-so-suffer spiel. ROFL! I just laughed out loud. She lost total credibility for me. I was ashamed, to a degree, as a woman, to see such sexist behavior and verbiage coming out of a woman's mouth, one who is supposed to be running for VP of our country! A country comprised of MANY male single parents as well as female single parents.


She never said ANYTHING about being a single mom.....this is what she said.

"Being a mom, one very concerned about a son in the war, about a special needs child, about kids heading off to college, how are we going to pay those tuition bills? About times and Todd and our marriage in our past where we didn't have health insurance and we know what other Americans are going through as they sit around the kitchen table and try to figure out how are they going to pay out-of-pocket for health care? We've been there also so that connection was important."


Weren't you listening?

It is so obvious Sarah Palin ran circles around Joe! Now if the media would stop lying and "creatively" editing interviews (pertaining to the Gibson and Couric load of crap) maybe everyone else will see what a strong, great woman she is! We need her!! I'm a member of the press (unfortunately), but it does give me access to seeing the media bias! Vote PALIN, women unite around her!!

((The point of my previous post was that Obama's plan...as it stands right now....will be disastrous for this economy. McCain's probably isn't any better. You would know better...your the econ major. ))

((All of the mainstream media has an agenda to get Obama elected so they don't tell the truth about this anyway. ))
