Would she be getting the cheers & applause if she looked like Janet Reno? I think we all know the answer on this one.
Truth is, the fact that she is moderately attractive is letting her get away with more. Listen to the audio only and you will hear a condescending bitch that spoke to the American people like they were a classroom of 5 year olds. Even if she didn't write the speech, her tone should have clued you in to how she is going to speak to other world leaders.

Give McCain credit, he knew if he brought her in, she was going to get way more attention than any other candidate he could find. The problem is, once they start to hear the substance of what the republicans are offering, people will get very weary of the dog & pony show.

They are trying to run on a platform of change, but the truth is, they will give us the same crap we have had for 7 years. During the Bush administration, there has been nothing done pro-actively, it is all re-active. Nothing was done to prepare for 9-11, guess what, we over compensate by taking on Afghanistan & Iraq.
By going into Iraq with no plan, they let the entire country of Iraq fall into chaos. The chaos in Iraq allowed OPEC to raise the price on oil. The high price of oil now has us looking for oil anywhere we can find it, including the Arctic Wildlife Refuge. The fact is, they are running on a platform that was brought on by their own incompetence.
Do you think letting them have another 4 years of "Change" is going to work? No fucking way.

The only changes they made are higher gas prices, higher level of fear, and higher cost of living.
Granted, Obama is an idiot also, but at least I can expect him to tap into some of the resources that Clinton had during his 8 years of moderate success. I would have rather seen Gore take a chance at winning another election myself. Just imagine how much change we could have had if he won in 2000.
Instead, we went from peace to war, & rich to poor (unless you were associated with an oil company or Haliburton), & we are now wishing we could have back all that we had before the Bush regime started. We had change, and I think we have had enough of it.
I would love to be called a "flip-flopper" if it insinuated that I would like to go back to the way things were back when Bubba was in office. Having the common sense to realize you made a mistake is not bad, as long as you have learned from your mistakes. Unfortunately, the current administration does not acknowledge they made mistakes to begin with. Voting for a 72 year old, with the same mentality as George W. Bush is not going to bring us into the future, it's going to bring us another 4 years of war, high gas prices, & fear of the next attack.
If the republicans were so concerned with "alternative energy sources", then what the fuck have they been doing for the past 7 years?
Change is exactly what I've got. About 47 cents is all I have on me.
