Sarah Palin cast herself as an outsider and took a swipe at Democrat Barack Obama on Wednesday in what was the most anticipated speech of the Republican National Convention. She pledged that as John McCain's running mate, she wanted to go to Washington not to seek the media's approval but "to serve the people of this country."

Depicting herself as "just your average hockey mom," Palin described her political career as mayor of her small town before her election as governor.

“Palin didn’t mention Obama by name but....

Palin also said she was....

The speech was the first-term Alaska governor’s first chance to fully introduce and define herself to the American public.”

Crap-I missed it!!!!!

Perhaps the words were released, but this is written in ‘past tense’.

I think the best way to make heads explode in the liberal world is to make the excepts they released the most bland, harmless, innocuous parts of the speech.

She needs to punch Obama right in the face with this speech. And she needs to knock him down.

Can anyone tell me if the following sentence is true?

It was posted to me somewhere else.

"The AP is a right-wing group and their political editior is a McCain supporter."

Not true. AP stands for “American Pravda,” and the people working there are shoplifters.

The only people believing that AP is right wing are Stalinist mass murderers and worm eaters.
