Hiya Luvy!
Didn’t Sarah just make you proud to be an American Republican?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks for your take....I was so nervous. I thought she did good. The msm and the dems up here have been beating her down since the moment she was named. I am so sick of it!!!

[luvie]

Absolutely!

[Drumbo]

Fred Thompson on Foxnews saying he was “Blown away” by Sarah. Says. “She’s changed the terms of the whole discussion”.

[MeekMom]

Fred Thompson praised her on Fox news just now. He’s a nice man.

[Kathy in Alaska]

On my way home. Back in a bit.

[luvie]

And he was totally correct!

He also called Biden on a LOT of lies and mis-statements!

Posted 10:39:09 PM by Jim Robinson - "Sorry about the slowdown half way through the debate. We were cranking along under three times our normal load when suddenly one of the old servers smoked. Then all of our servers overloaded. Took John a few minutes to bust up the logjam. One server is still down, but the system is running."

God bless Jim and John. I'm so glad it wasn't an attack.

[luvie]

Thanks for tonites thread, Ma!
Good evening everyone!
Just watched Sarah in the debate, she did great!
I’m alittle upset though..
A soldier was jogging by the side of the road up here, somebody hit him and LEFT HIM THERE!
My temper went off the charts when I heard this.
Our division of “Help On The Home Front” of the PGR is standing by to help anyway we can.
