"The difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick."
--Sarah Palin, RNC Speech
In a speech full of memorable one-liners and highlights, we picked what we thought were the top 25 quotes from Sarah Palin's RNC speech in Minneapolis, MN.

* A writer observed: "We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty, sincerity, and dignity." I know just the kind of people that writer had in mind when he praised Harry Truman.
I grew up with those people. They are the ones who do some of the hardest work in America ... who grow our food, run our factories, and fight our wars. They love their country, in good times and bad, and they're always proud of America. I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town.
* I'm not a member of the permanent political establishment. And I've learned quickly, these past few days, that if you're not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone.But here's a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion — I'm going to Washington to serve the people of this country. Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons, and not just to mingle with the right people.
* My fellow citizens, the American presidency is not supposed to be a journey of "personal discovery." This world of threats and dangers is not just a community, and it doesn't just need an organizer.
* Our opponents say, again and again, that drilling will not solve all of America's energy problems — as if we all didn't know that already. But the fact that drilling won't solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all.
* Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown. And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer," except that you have actual responsibilities.
* To confront the threat that Iran might seek to cut off nearly a fifth of world energy supplies ... or that terrorists might strike again at the Abqaiq facility in Saudi Arabia ... or that Venezuela might shut off its oil deliveries ... we Americans need to produce more of our own oil and gas. And take it from a gal who knows the North Slope of Alaska: we've got lots of both.

This is the difference between the DNCC and the RNCC. There are so many memorable lines from these speeches.
Can anyone remember something from Obama’s speech? (I know we’ve memorized the context because we’ve heard the same thing for the past 30 years from the Dems.)
I was born in 1951 and have been a Republican and political junkie since 1960. The only event I have seen comparable to Palin’s speech last night was the televised national address Ronald Reagan gave just before Barry Goldwater went down in flames in 1964. I knew when I saw that speech that Reagan would lead us forward. Palin made me feel that way last night.
