Honestly if Sarah Palin had not cleared the bases last night, this could have been a grand slam, but unfortunately last night the bases were cleared by Sarah Palin. Tonight's speech was a home run, but it only scored one run.
FWIW, there is nothing notable or historical about Obama's much touted speech. I can't remember anything other than the fact that he promised to steal about 20% more of my paycheck and give it to God knows who. I also remember the jumbotrons and the Roman Pillars. I honestly can't remember anything about Joe Biden's speech at all. To be honest, I really can't even remember if I watched it at all. I think I might have, but it was obviously forgettable.
McCain's last few lines spoken over the cheers of the crowd will be a memorable moment.
I am optimistic, but I still realize that as a nation, we do not deserve God's grace. We have not earned it. We have aborted 50 million innocent babies in the last 35 years and I can only pray that God will grant us mercy rather than judgment.
America is a democracy and as such we will get the government we as a people ask for and vote for.
This is a crossroad. The republican ticket is a solid pro-life ticket. We as a nation are being tested. Let us pray that we do not fail this test.
This is what we prayed for a year ago. We agonized over Hunter's inability to get traction and then Thompson's. God has us ending up with McCain who chose strongly pro-life Palin to be in line at some future time to have the presidency. I actually think that we have a chance to win, and if we can win big, maybe coattails can take back the Senate, and maybe McCain can talk JP Stevens into retiring. We must get serious about the Senate here shortly. The Senate is the key to judges.
If you could reduce the US in size and population to be comparable in size and population to other countries, do you think the US would have less or more abortions? Is the US more conservative or less conservative than other nations?
