VP Debate

WHAT? I told you I was going to blog about it!
As I watched the VP debate the other night, I couldn't help but feel angry and frusterated with most of the answers that Gov. Palin was giving. She didn't answer the questions or really give any details about how her and J-Mac were going to "reform" anything. Lets take a look at her first answer:

Moderator: The House of Representatives this week passed a bill, a big bailout bill -- or didn't pass it, I should say. The Senate decided to pass it, and the House is wrestling with it still tonight. As America watches these things happen on Capitol Hill, Gov. Palin, was this the worst of Washington or the best of Washington that we saw play out?

Palin: John McCain thankfully has been one representing reform. Two years ago, remember, it was John McCain who pushed so hard with the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac reform measures. He sounded that warning bell.

People in the Senate with him, his colleagues, didn't want to listen to him and wouldn't go towards that reform that was needed then. I think that the alarm has been heard, though, and there will be that greater oversight, again thanks to John McCain's bipartisan efforts that he was so instrumental in bringing folks together over this past week, even suspending his own campaign to make sure he was putting excessive politics aside and putting the country first.

Notice how that wasn't the question. Not what did John McCain talk about 2 years ago, but what is your opinion of what happened in Congress and the Senate this week? (I did skip part of what she said because: 1) its too long and i wasn't going to make you read it all and 2) because it really didn't answer the question either.)

Dont Worry. I'm not going to go over every single thing she said but i wanted to use her first answer to give you a feeling for how she answered questions all night long. and out of probably 20-30 questions asked she answered 1 of them with a straight answer....1!

Now Joe Biden did answer questions and sometimes they werent so straight forward, but he answered most questions and she didn't answer any of them. Hell she couldn't even think of a single area where she and John McCain would change any of George Bush's policies.

So I would now like to ask Gov. Palin a question: If you and John McCain are a "group of Mavericks and a group of Reformers," then tell me..... If your not going to change a single policy set in place by George Bush, then how does that make you guys reformers? (a reformer being someone who puts an end to (something) by enforcing or introducing a better method or course of action)

How is that CHANGE?!?!? They're TV ad's tell us that "Change is Coming," but if they're going to continue the same DISASTEROUS policies of George W. Bush, what else besides the person sitting behind the desk constitutes as CHANGE?

Obama/Biden:2
McCain/Palin:0
